- DDavidVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •66 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoI typically don't go out to restaurants during restaurant week, however the last time I went here it was so good for lunch I decided to give it a try. The offering for the week was a great paring of 4 items. I went for the steak, and it was amazing. Perfectly prepared. The starter was a trout preparation with a small toast point. The salad had a wonderful dressing, and the desert was a mixture of a frozen delight and tangy fruit. This is a wonderful addition to the vibrant restaurant scene in the area.More infoVerde RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Californian• Costa Mesa•4.6
