The food was absolutely delicious. Shared many different plates with friends including the roasted carrots (to die for), the beets, the tomato burrata ( warmed and so much flavor), the cabbage, the ahi tuna, the chicken, the steak and the scallops. Finished with sharing a piece of coconut cake and the butterscotch pudding. All amazing!

Three of us recently dined at Vero for the first time. I decided to take a moment to write a review since we were all very impressed with the quality of the service, the ambiance, the quality of the food, and the attention to detail. Two of us had the surf and turf platter and the other had the tagliatelle puttanesca. We also had some olives to start and tiramisu to finish. The suggested wine pairing with the platter was spot on and was not overly expensive. After the first few bites, it soon became apparent that the chef was able to capitalize on the quality and marriage of the ingredients for flavour so did not need to use excessive salt, sweetness or butter as a crutch. While the pasta and the platter offerings were all terrific, I thought the lamb stood out. It was exceptional. Dining at Vero is not cheap but I think it is good value considering the outstanding quality of the food and service. I will definitely be back. By the way, I'm almost positive that I saw Mr. Frank Wong dining at a nearby table. Frank Wong seems to have disappeared from the scene over the past decade or so, but some foodies may recall that "back in the day" Frank Wong was one of the country's most discerning yet reclusive food critics. The fact that Frank Wong chooses to dine at Vero is high praise indeed.

We had an amazing dinner here with our 16 month old. The food and service were outstanding. They even gave her a little toy to play with. We will definitely be back.

We had a FANTASTIC dinner at Major Tom. Best service I have ever experienced!!! I have a dairy allergy and the waiter made notes on the menu to show what I could order as is or modified - and there were lots of options. All the staff (and especially our main waiter) were so friendly, enthusiastic, and attentive - while also giving us our space and not making us feel rushed. The view of the city is incredible! There are many delicious cocktail and mocktail options and appetizers. The food was INCREDIBLE! So so so delicious and very high quality. The filet minion was so tender and flavourful. Our waiter also brought us the most incredible vegan chocolate dessert at the end. If you want to spoil yourself or a loved one, go to Major Tom's - you won't be disappointed!

Enjoyed another great meal at Niko’s today. Great food and impeccable service. Niko is so welcoming and gregarious. Won’t wait too long for my next visit.
