I made reservations at Verse on Smith for a group of 10 to have a birthday dinner for my mother. The menu had plenty of choices for each one of us, which is one of the reasons why I chose this restaurant. The food was so delicious, and the drinks were great! My margarita was amazing!! My mother loved her eggplant parm. The kids devoured their food. My steak with chimi sauce and risotto was sooo good, my husband kept eyeing me for an extra taste. Overall, everything was tasty. And they even sang Happy Birthday to my mom, which we all joined in and appreciated. The staff were polite and very attentive. They even called me back to let me know that someone in my party left a phone behind. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Love our meal at strange delight. The room is surprisingly beautiful. The cocktails were very well-made. And the dishes we tried were wonderful. Prices are definitely high, the gin ramos fizz is $10 more than when it was reviewed in August, but I would return. The food, drinks and ambulance were wonderful.

Celebrated our 65 wedding anniversary. Have eaten here before. Staff was so kind. Treated us to a glass of champagne. Helped us choose what to order. Shared razor clams, clam chowder, clams and shrimp. All very good. A surprise cheesecake ended our lunch. Would highly recommend.
