    We were early on a Sunday and decided to sit outside at one of their benches. The manager came right over and invited us in even though we were there 15 minutes before they "officially" opened. We were seated, and the server (Adam) came over right away with water. The welcoming vibe from the manager's friendly demeanor inviting us in early and the hostess who was not "snooty" like many (sadly) in Sarasota set the tone like we were at our dear friends house for a dinner party. The food was amazing, especially the salmon, pate, and lobster fra diavolo. To top it off, the bread pudding was absolutely to die for! Our server, Adam could not have been more attentive (not pushy), friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. We will definitely be back!

    Veronica’s never disappoints! Our go-to is the Whole Thai Snapper which is always perfect… this time we tried the cauliflower with whipped feta and it was fantastic. Great service, ambiance and phenomenal food!

    My husband and I had a fantastic evening at Veronica Fish & Oyster! We started with drinks and a shrimp cocktail during happy hour at the bar before moving to our table for dinner. Everything—the food, service, and ambiance—was fabulous. The real star of the show, however, was the oysters. As lifelong Floridians and self-proclaimed oyster snobs, we both agree that these “salty mainers” were by far the best oysters we’ve ever had in our lives!
