Another great meal served by great folks. This family owned restaurant is someplace to need to try. You'll come back after. Reservations are a must since seating is limited.

The veranda never disappoints. We’ve been there several times and have yet to have a questionable meal. We tried various things on the menu and they are all excellent. This is a family owned business and they do amazing job consistently. We recommend this restaurant without exception!

Carbonara was one of the best I’ve had. Garlic shrimp appetizer was good. Very flavorful. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. Our server was extremely polite and accommodating. The restaurant itself is quaint and inviting. Would definitely return

We went to The Veranda for a date night and we couldn’t have asked for a more intimate, romantic ambience. The food was exquisite, the service exemplary. We will definitely be going back.

We wanted to love this place- and I have a feeling we could. I will give it another try, for sure. The person who sat us was not very warm/inviting, and unfortunately, I think she was the owner. She passed by us numerous times through the evening, not smiling, never once making eye-contact or saying a word no matter how much I looked her way (because I would have liked to say hello). We did sit for a bit too long waiting for anyone to acknowledge us for even some water... and I would have ordered a wine w the water, but he left before, so I had to wait again. That being said the garlic shrimp appetizer was really quite good... The pasta dish was not as flavorful, but I could tell it could be, with a little better seasoning. I never add salt to anything, but I needed to... I think a small restaurant like this needs to be a warm and inviting environment first and foremost, so I truly hope they can think about how they are showing up for future guests. I will try it again though and hope for a better overall experience.
