Fabulous service by all staff. Even the greeting staff were wonderful had a great booth just as requested and on time. The walleye was spectacular.
Thank you for your kind review, Sue. We are pleased to hear your evening was just as you expected, if not more! We look forward to your next visit.
One of the best steaks I have ever had! Loved the truffle mashed potatoes. The lobster and scallops were a bit over seasoned as we like to taste the seafood. I would just request less seasoning next time. Perfect dinner for two!
Thank you for your kind review! We are pretty proud of our locally sourced meats. We believe you can taste the difference! We look forward to your next visit.
It was nice to go to a nice restaurant with great food
Thank you, Steve! We are happy to have created a space that guests feel comfortable in. We look forward to your next visit.
The food was delicious and arrived promptly. Everything tasted very fresh and was cooked perfectly. Perfect for a date night!
We visited for my birthday and elected to sit outside and they had a folk singer playing when we arrived around 5:45, he was outstanding and played and sang well, was a good entertainer.
only 1 waiter for about 8 tables so service was good but a little slow.
Bread is always good, Lobster bisque is a must have.
our table ordered the Ocean Angel Hair (loved it) Blackened Chicken Tortellini (he loved it) Herb marinated chicken, wife loved it.
now the dessert, the vanilla cheesecake with Bourbon/Carmel sauce is simply the best cheesecake.
Thank you, Mark! We are thrilled to hear you had such a memorable evening. That bourbon caramel sauce? don't you want a bowl of it? We look forward to your next visit. And Happy Birthday!
We enjoyed our visit to the restaurant. We were celebrating our Anniversary. Our server was very attentive and the food was delicious! They surprised us with an Anniversary dessert! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone!
Happy Anniversary, Vicky! Thank you for choosing Veritas to celebrate such a special event.
Decided to try the brunch here. Good and service were just great. I had the crab Benedict which was super (wish it had been a bit hotter). I will return.
Thank you! We are excited to bring a fabulous brunch to Jackson. We look forward to your next visit.
Great brunch menu and our group really enjoyed being able to sit outside! Will be back for brunch soon!
We are so happy to see the excitement regarding our brunch! Thank you for the kind review and we look forward to your next visit.
Had a server whom was on her second night serving. She did an excellent job. Last time i was in had Andrew. He also does an excellent job. I love Veritas and will continue to come.
Thank you, JoJo. We appreciate your kind review and specifically mentioning our staff. They have been putting in the time and we are pleased to hear it shows. We look forward to your next visit.
Best top line restaurant in Jackson. Food was great and live music outside where we ate was outstanding too.
Thank you, Monika! We hope to create the full experience and it appears that we did. We look forward to your next visit!
This place is an absolute jewel. If you are looking for freshly prepared, thoughtfully sourced seafood, and steaks that are butchered on site, and specially aged, you need to go here. It’s worth mentioning that the carrot cake is to die for, I promise you’ll never get it better anywhere else. I honestly think this is one of the best restaurants outside of the Detroit metro area. They put enormous effort into everything they do and it shows. Cannot recommend it enough.
Catherine. Thank you for the kind and detailed review. It's moments like these that keep us motivated. We look forward to your next visit.
We met friends there after work. We had a Dragon roll for an appetizer. Then we had the Soy Ahi Tuna with garlic mashed potatoes. Everything was great. It is a wonderful place to eat. Highly recommended.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Henry. Sounds like you had a few of our most popular dishes. We look forward to your next visit!
Higher priced but worth it! Delicious and had live guitarist that was just loud enough to still be able to talk. Great service.
Thank you, Renee!
First time. Very nice venue. Service excellent. Cocktails good. Wine list small but good. Food was excellent. The seafood was ok but needed more flavor. Walleye was perfect. We will return often.
Thank you, Dan. We look forward to your next visit!
The food was exceptional! Lovely live music on Friday Evening made for a great ambiance. Veritas is a must when coming to enjoy this revitalized area in Jackson.
Martha. Thank you for the kind review. We are excited to be a part of the new energy and growth coming to Jackson. We look forward to your next visit!
Delicious food and beautiful environment.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We look forward to your next visit.
Excellent food and service. Great for any special occasion. Reserved table ahead of time and seated within minutes of our arrival time. Very clean. Waitstaff was very welcoming.
Meals were very flavorful and portions larger than expected. Would definitely recommend.
Thank you, Pam. Sounds like it was a great evening. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Food was fantastic. Service much improved. We’ll definitely go back.
Thank you, Shag! We are pleased to hear that you saw improvement from your last visit. Our teams have been putting in the time to make each dining experience the best it can be. We look forward to your next visit!
Was our first time there and we were celebrating our 33rd anniversary. The staff made it a very special evening for us. Thank you veritas
Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with us Mark. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We look forward to your next visit.
We visited Veritas for my birthday, it was our first visit, and our entire experience can be summed up in one word: DELIGHTFUL. The service was terrific, the food was fantastic, and the ambiance was awesome.
We lived in Ann Arbor for decades before moving to the Irish Hills, and we loved the best restaurants Ann Arbor has to offer. Veritas would fit right in as one of its top venues.
We are already making plans to bring friends and family for another delightful experience.
Thank you , Sam! We are delighted to hear that Veritas lived up to your expectations. Happy Birthday and we look forward to your next visit!
Everything was amazing! My wife took me for my Birthday and we will definitely be back.
I enjoyed the sushi and the cheesecake very much. I wasn't a huge fan of the filet Oscar, it was just okay. The service was excellent and the ambiance is great.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, Brittany. We appreciate your feedback.
Could tell they where under staffed which is unfortunate. It left dirty Plates on table even when served next course. Another covid victim shame
Surf & Turf excellent. Came for anniversary.
Thank you for choosing Veritas for your celebration. Here's to many more!
Seriously the coolest restaurant...inside and outside AND the food/drink is exceptional!
Thank you JoJo! We have put a lot of thought and effort into our space to add to your dining pleasure. We look forward to serving you again soon!
Service was good but unfortunately the food fell short . The side of fries was way too salty. Steak were just okay. Would I come back ? Probably not.
We love this restaurant. The food is outstanding and so is the service. We highly recommend this restaurant.
Thank you, DarylK! We think we have some of the best customers around.
It was really good. Sushi was great but my chicken meal wasn’t all that good. Chicken seemed undercooked and rubbery but overall it was pretty good!
Hi Aislyn. We are sorry to hear your meal wasn't amazing. We have reached out privately and hope to hear from you soon.
Amazing service and food! I highly recommend Veritas.
Thank you, Robin. We value your feedback! We look forward to serving you again soon.
The server was very inexperienced and hopefully just new. He had to ask "someone" almost every single question about the food we had. He was extremely slow getting waters and drinks to the table. The filet was $46 and it was the driest, saddest steak I have ever had. The meat had no flavor. I am certain the potatoes were frozen and thawed for the meal. The choice of sides was very weak for a steak house. I wanted to love the restaurant but I that was very expensive and not worth $20.
Hi Sarah. We are disappointed to hear that your dining experience was less than amazing. We have reached out directly to you and hope to hear from you soon. We'd like to make this right.
Another awesome meal at Veritas. Great food, great atmosphere, great staff. Our server toay was Andrew, he was excellent. We appreciate that.
Thank you for the review, Rick. We appreciate the shout out to our staff. They have been putting in the time and each compliment is valuable. We look forward to serving you again soon.
I was there for their Mother's Day brunch special. They were out of food that I wanted to have. I wish they would have had enough food in stock for the day. I hastily ordered something that I didn't really want. I didn't realize that it came with eggs, which I don't care for. I looked up the item online after I left, just to see if it came eggs (and it did) and I saw that it was supposed to come with toast, which mine didn't come with toast. Overall it was good but I was bummed that I didn't get something that I really wanted and then to find out after the fact that my meal was missing food.
Vicky, we are sorry to hear that you felt rushed at any point in your brunch service. We certainly took note of the popular dishes and will make adjustments before our next brunch. We have reached out privately and hope to hear from you soon.
we arrived mid time of the brunch offering and they were already out of one of their prime offerings. Service was pleasant but difficulty getting a cocktail . Not the first time that this has happened.
Thomas, we are sorry to hear that your visit was less than amazing. Thank you for your feedback. We hope on your next visit you will see improvement.
Very nice restaurant, food was good and nice atmosphere.
Thank you, Crystal!
The food and atmosphere were amazing as always. I have never had a negative experience here. The crab cakes are eggs Benedict were the most amazing things I have ever had.
Mmmm. Those crab cakes. Then chef turns it into Eggs Benedict! #truefood We look forward to serving you again soon.
Welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Personalized and attentive service. Excellent food.
Thank you for the kind words, Ken. Our staff appreciate each shout out. We look forward to your next visit.
Excellent Mother's Day Brunch! Seating in back room which is a great meeting space for a large dinner party or event.
It was a great brunch, wasn't it! The Parlor is a great space for additional dining, meetings, or events. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your visit and look forward to your next!
The food and drinks were amazing. The service was exceptional. The serving sizes were more than adequate for the price. Can't wait to visit again.
Thank you, Amy. We can't wait to serve you again!
we enjoyed sitting bar side while listening to Ian play guitar and sing.
service was outstanding and the food was right on time and was as prepared just the way that it was ordered.
Thank you, Craig. We appreciate the shout out to our servers. They have really given their all these last few months. We think those comfortable bar stools invite you to linger and savor those craft cocktails a little longer.
There fish is out standing. The soy ginger tuna!!! And the beer dill walleye is amazing. Can’t go wrong with either.
Sounds like you picked a few of our favorites as well! So pleased you enjoyed them. Our chef is able to create amazing meals with the items we receive from Fortune Fish Co. We look forward to your next visit.
