    We have eaten here before and have not had the issues we had today. We had to wait 20 minutes for our table, even though we had reservations. The restaurant was only semi-full. We waited close to 30 minutes for our food once we ordered. It was a family birthday brunch so we had a great time, even with the delays.

    We have eaten at Veranda for more than 20 years. This visit, the food really impressed us very much. They have upped their game considerably. Try the striped bass and lobster mac and cheese (which is not mac and cheese at all). Very fine dishes, likely the best we ever had at Veranda. The service is always good.

    Our server Rebecca was fantastic! The entire staff recognized our dog “Gump” and treated him as a welcome guest! We finished up in the lounge with holiday beverages. It was a delightful experience. Thank you everyone at the Veranda.
