    The day was lovely, making Veranda seating ideal. Ryan was an excellent server - prompt, attentive & efficient. Our food was delicious. Since it was a quiet day we lingered over dessert & enjoyed visiting in the perfect outdoor setting.

    Food was good and the wine list was decent. Our server essentially didn’t check on us except to bring our wine & food, so we waited for hot water for the baby as well as our check

    We had not been ther since Nov 2024 so Menu changed for the better. I had Lamb Lollipops and my wife Salmon. Both were deicious with generous portions. for an appetizer we shared Crab Cakes which were gery good. Not all Panko. Service was Good. The Receptionist was very good and we had a nioce table close to the golf course. Overall Very Good.

    Eat here frequently after playing golf. Beautiful setting - especially outdoor patio. Service is great. Food is very good - just wish they would change menu - get some new dishes. Wine list is decent but could also use updating and expansion. Prices are ok.

    My birthday dinner at the Veranda was a delightful experience! My husband and I shared the scallops and the swordfish, the asparagus and the shitake mushrooms. Everything on the menu was enticing. We selected the two entrees that appealed most. Live music provided a festive atmosphere. The view is relaxing. When I asked my husband if he was warm enough, someone overheard me and brought a heater. The best part was being able to bring our dog Teddy to a fabulous restaurant! We highly recommend the Veranda for a special occasion or just a night out.
