Verbena is a restaurant and bar located in the heart of West 6th Street occupying the street side ground level of the award-winning Canopy by Hilton Hotel. The venue is comprised of a 36-seat bar and lounge, a 60-seat dining room with open kitchen, and wood-burning hearth, both which open to a lush open-air courtyard. Journey through Chef Paolo's gastronomic narrative where he pays homage to his contemporary Mexican roots. His menu is highly influenced with essences of French techniques and contains stories and flavors he's discovered throughout his travels. It is truly a memorable dining experience. Come grab a coffee and freshly baked pastry on your way to work or spend a Sunday morning over a bountiful brunch. Meet a friend for a vibrant patio lunch or gather with co-workers for drinks and dinner. You’re always welcome at Verbena.

    Appetizers were tasty but the main dish (chili relleno) was bland (lacked seasoning or salt) and the sauce was overly creamy so it wound up as a mush. They were also out of several wines by glass I tried to order and did not have substitutes.
    VerbenaResponded on 19 December 2024
    Hi Joe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the appetizers and the ambiance. We sincerely apologize that the chili relleno did not meet your expectations, and we'll review the seasoning and sauce for improvements. We also apologize for the wine availability issues and will work to ensure we have adequate stock and alternatives for our guests. We would love to hear more about your experience and invite you back for a chance to make it right. Best regards, Carlos Urioste Food & Beverage Manager

    Great experience with Rachael! Lobster Benedict and Buffalo truffle chicken sandwich were perfect! Tons of lobster on the Benedict too! Loved the ambiance on the patio too ❤️
    VerbenaResponded on 11 November 2024
    Dear Christie, Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed your experience with Rachael—she’s a rock star and we’ll make sure she gets the lobster-sized high-five she deserves! 🦞 We’re also glad to know the Lobster Benedict hit the spot (it’s hard to go wrong when there's that much lobster, right?). And yes, the patio ambiance is like the cherry on top of a perfect meal! We look forward to welcoming you back for more deliciousness soon—whether it’s for more lobster or another Buffalo Truffle Chicken sandwich (we won’t judge 😉). Cheers, Carlos Urioste Food & Beverage Manager Verbena ATX
