   Loved the food and ambience. I did tell them that it was our anniversary when I booked the restaurant and told the waiter as well. Our anniversary was not even acknowledged. Disappointing. Celebrating 53 years should be acknowledged at a fine restaurant.

   We love the Veranda restaurant and dine there for all of our special occasions. Our anniversary dinner last evening was delicious, and our waiter Pete made the experience perfect. We were provided with a photo to mark the occasion, which added to the occasion.

   I chose my favorite Ft Myers restaurant to propose to my girlfriend. Not only was it an amazing meal but the experience was 1st class. The Veranda staff made it a very memorable experience!

   The Veranda is one of Fort Myers best hidden gems and a very unique and special experience for all! Our server, Ramsay was exceptional and very attentive. Steaks came out a little rarer than what we ordered however, this was immediately taken care of and re-plated which was very kind of the chef! We will be back!

   One of our favorite places. We were married here 14 years ago at the Veranda and its magic touch persists to this day!! From walking on the door to last bite of dessert, The Veranda is a must do.

   We returned to our wedding reception spot for the second year--happy anniversary to us! The ambiance was seasonal and inviting. Though the lighting was a bit dim, it added to the cozy and romantic atmosphere we love. A wedding in the courtyard brought an extra touch of joy and celebration to the evening. Arriving slightly early, we had a short wait for our table. No complaints, though, as we enjoyed a drink to pass the time--my husband savored an Old Fashioned while I sipped on a Tito's and Diet Coke. Once seated, we were warmly welcomed by our server, Ramsey, whose deep, resonant voice brought to mind the smooth charm of "Boyz II Men." It made for a fun conversation starter! Ramsey expertly shared the evening's specials, and I decided on a watermelon martini, which was absolutely delightful. My husband ordered Oysters Rockefeller and lamb chops, while I opted for the Chilean sea bass with risotto. The Chilean sea bass was fabulous--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor--though the risotto could have used a touch more salt. The lamb chops, on the other hand, were cooked to perfection, and the accompanying merlot sauce complemented the dish beautifully. For dessert, we decided on the peanut butter pie and the flourless chocolate black and white. Both were brought out on beautifully presented anniversary plates, adding a special touch to the evening. They were absolutely delicious, the perfect sweet ending to a memorable celebration! The only disappointment during our anniversary experience was the lack of attention to detail in the restaurant's upkeep. The dusty, cobweb-covered sconces, especially the one directly above our table, were a noticeable eyesore. It detracted from an otherwise lovely evening and was a disappointing oversight in an establishment of this caliber.
