The service and the outdoor venue were wonderful. The seared scallops were fantastic! The Alaskan Halibut was disappointing - great piece of fish but overcooked and a bit dry and the plating with multi-colored cauliflower was short of it's potential. Definitely no Wow like the scallops. For the price, I expected better. But overall, we had a great time.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed dinner at the Veranda. There is a beautiful view of the golf course and an acoustic guitarist was playing wonderful music. We had the market salad, blackened broccolini, halibut, and salmon. Everything was delicious! The fireplace and the fire ring added to the ambiance. Service was attentive. It is not inexpensive but worth it for a special dinner. The RB Inn is a beautiful resort that’s kept up impeccably.

Very pleasant venue, but the food continues to be very! overpriced, with a very! limited menu: three scallops for $41, with little to go with them, was pretty outrageous. Something like $20 for a small portion of mac&cheese with a bit of lobster (as an appetizer) was also quite expensive for what you got. The restaurant used to provide a small platter with bread and tapenade for free (as many restaurants still do), but their "bread service" is now $9. Just hugely unwarranted. Music by Kevin O'brien on Friday evenings is always outstanding - the only reason we would pay such outrageous prices.

Despite the fact that it's a bit pricey, it's still a lovely place to go and sit outside and enjoy the view of the golf course and the water fountains. Love sitting by the wall where the view is best. Also, it's a great place for covid safety.

They put dressing on my salad when I asked for no dressing. Didn’t see my waiter for awhile so just ate the protein. My mom didn’t like the chicken sandwich. It had too much sauce on it. We were disappointed because the prices were so high $30 for a salad that didn’t have much. They took off the sandwich so we didn’t pay for it.

We enjoyed lunch. We both had salads and one order of fried. 1soda and two glasses of wine. $130 seemed terribly over priced for a Caesar salad that was nothing special. The view and grounds are lovely. Service was just ok. This place could be better marked so people who are new to it can find it.

Our family of 5 ranging from 16 to 60 took our son to Veranda for his 30th birthday. We used OpenTable for an easy reservation and we were greeted by the hostess and provided a lovely table right next the course. The breeze was lovely (hot day) and plenty of shade from the umbrellas. Our server was one of the best I've had the pleasure of having, attentive, fast, right mix of familiarity and class. We ordered breakfast fare - eggs, bacon etc- and avocado toast (to die for), Belgian waffle and huge breakfast burritos. The food was hot, fresh and the perfect amount. The coffee hot and fresh. 10 out of 10. Our son said it was absolutely amazing!

Many thanks for an excellent dinner last night at the veranda. My wife had a delicious order of rigatoni, and I had a delicious order of halibut. We are very grateful for the special birthday dessert that was delivered to us. In honor of my wife’s birthday. We also were very grateful to be seated in a quiet area so that the five of us could hear each other. Thanks very much again.

The fireside lounge was once a beautiful get away. Today the food is overpriced and not very good. We took a friend for dinner to a restaurant that was very nice. I requested a table near the wall next to the putting green for quite ambience. We’ll they put us directly in front of the band. I had to ask to be moved to a quieter table and was given a table two over and still very loud. I guess I should have slipped the hostess a twenty to get the table I wanted, that by the way was empty. The hamburger I shared with my wife was dry and over cooked. She ordered sweet potato fries and got regular fries. We had to send them back. Our friend ordered lamb and it was over cooked and had to be sent back. The restaurant used to have bread and olive oil brought to the table. Not any more. Since the pandemic prices have risen by almost 40% and service has gone down.

The Lunch Dining Room was way too loud with noise. Curiously the outdoor patio was not open for seating (I had requested such during reservation making) and indoor A/C was blasting cold. Servers were not very attentive and food appeared quite mediocre. We ordered 4 sides and iced lattes. Glad we skipped the salads.

We always enjoy eating on the patio. Both of us ordered steak (rib eye and sirloin). Added mashed potatoes , wine and a Caesar salad. Meals were cooked well and tasted great. Only complaints were that parking was hell (we drove outside the entrance and parked on the street) and the group next to us had a toddler that they let run all over the patio. Not an inexpensive meal but a nice atmosphere.

Our waitress was the best of all the categories. . I had my 6 year old granddaughter with me and Rebecca our server really was great about getting her exactly what she wanted. A kids burger with a plant patty. Lettuce tomato and pickles. She even ran upstairs to the other restaurant looking for pickles and she found them. Saying that , the prices are ridiculous. The kids meal because it had the plant patty instead of real meat went from $12 to $28. A salad with salmon on it was &30 when I have had one very similar for $14.99 before in a different restaurant.

Thank you RB Veranda for another lovely setting and meal. The side serving of bread was the surprise! It was absolutely delicious - lightly buttered and seasoned. The rest of the meal was superb.

Ordered the beef short ribs. Good flavor but there was not enough sauce and the last half of the meal was dry. Also ordered a wedge salad, Portion was extremely generous, the amount of dressing, not so much.

This was one of the best dinners we have had in sometime. The food was excellent, the service as well. Outdoors in the shade was very comfortable and a great setting. We live close by and always intend to go but this time we did and we were not disappointed and we plan to go more often in the future,
