    First time, great experience and looking forward to coming back sometime soon. From the host moving our table so we could hear without a hassle, to excellent service and fantastic food, everything was top notch. Food took a while, but was well worth the wait!

    We were seated promptly, which was great. But I guess our waiter/waitress must have been on break because no one acknowledged us for the next 5 minutes. We contacted the host, and he sent a different waitress to our table immediately. After that, the service was really quite good for a majority of our dinner. However, we did order a bottle of wine to come with our entrees, and there must have been some confusion in the bar, because we did not receive our wine for at least 10 minutes AFTER our entrees came out. Due to a time crunch, we were mostly finished with our entrees by the time the wine came out. I have been here before, and been less than impressed with the overall experience, and I really wanted this visit to go well. But alas, this is another fail by veritas. For a location with a menu (and prices) like this, the overall experience is severely lacking.

    VeritasResponded 1 day agoHi David. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a detailed review of your experience with us this Saturday. We apologize for the delay and timing mishaps regarding the initial greeting and the wine service. We'd like the opportunity to follow up with you directly and have reached out privately.

    Food was amazing, server Trey was awesome!!! It got busy while we were there and no one came to our table after our appetizer came to take food order. When Trey was able to get back to us he apologized multiple times and took it upon himself to make sure our food was discounted. We (there was two of us) would have like a different table because our was in the middle of the room next to a post but no biggie. Will definitely go back!!!!

    I was looking foward to eating here for awhile and I was disappointed. The service was ok, the food was ok. What we ordered wasn't exactly what was on our plates. There was no soap in the women's bathroom the fish tank was disgusting and we came back for dessert and our coffee was served luke warm. We asked for a hot cup and we were left unattended and didn't even get a refill. We won't be back for the prices charged

    We had a fabulous Sunday brunch at Veritas. I'm not sure if it was a weird weekend due to Presidents Day holiday, but it was empty! We had fantastic service and the brunch was far better than I expected it to be. There was everything from the standard eggs, sausage, bacon and potatoes to salad, fresh fruit, frittata, an omelette station, prime rib, mac and cheese, cinnamon rolls, and more. The brunch includes coffee and pop as well. A friend and I met here because it was the middle(ish) point between Kalamazoo and Ann Arbor, and I know we will be back again.

    VeritasResponded on February 23, 2023Thank you for the lovely review, Ashley! We are so pleased to hear we are a midway meet up point and you enjoyed brunch. We look forward to your next visit to Veritas. Take care!

    The service was obviously horrible from jump. From the drink order taking 30+ minutes to poor wines, food took 90+ minutes and the booths were very uncomfortable. The steak was also not cooked as ordered and the side bowls were so scolding hot, I burned 2 fingers and the server provided zero warning. Definitely not worth $52 for a filet and poor value for a $400 tab

    We went for our son’s 21st bday. Malik, our server, was wonderful. He made a point to get our order in before his big top table so we didn’t have to wait. All of the food was delicious: blackened chicken tortellini was one of the favorites. We also had herb roasted chicken, ribeye, and lobster mac and cheese. Good atmosphere, live guitar music, a great night for a special occasion.

    Extremely disappointing. Food was average at best. We ordered or requested 4 or 5 different items to find out they were out!! One was a dressing for the ginger carrot salad they are known for! Ordered two deserts- they were out! No tarter sauce for the fish! I consider ourselves as regulars but no longer. The Pot de Crème for dessert was a disaster, very grainy and too much whipped cream. Seems like the quality and service is slipping rapidly! So sorry to see this. Was once one of the top restaurants in the area. Not sure this is still the case.

    I felt bad for our server, too many tables booked for staff on hand. Seated 20 minutes after reservation time, waited 30 minutes for drinks, another 35-40 for appetizer and again to place meal order. There for over 3 hours just for dinner when should’ve been 1/2 that. Food was okay, staff was friendly and doing their absolute best given situation they were put in….but overall disappointed in our New Years dinner experience….

    Had a great meal on New Years. You could tell they were struggling with the amount of business they had. They were running a little behind due to it. No big deal for us as there was seating at the bar. We were a little disappointed by the new menu being so steak heavy but doesn’t even offer anything wagyu. The pasta dishes are lacking in creativity. And the sushi menu has been gutted. It still has a long way to go before it reaches what they used to advertise of dining experience like Detroit and Chicago. It reminds me of when they opened and they had fried oysters on the menu but not raw ones. It made you question were this was heading. It used to be the best place to eat around town and I still recommend it. But if you have more time to plan I would probably just drive over to Detroit until the next menu change or go out to Deck Down Under.
