    New fall menu is amazing! So many choices to consider and everything that we saw going out was tempting. We decided on a steak and salad and I still think they serve one of the best steaks in the city. Always friendly, approachable and fun.

    Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The staff was great…only two servers, and they were very good at their jobs. Many of the cocktails, entrees and desserts involve flambéing, so one of the servers was almost always doing table side service of some kind. All of dishes we tried were tasty and presented beautifully. The Wellington’s were cooked to our liking. If you want a show..order the Excommunicado cocktail. It involves fire, smoke and a shot gun.

    Never get disappointed at Vero Bistro. Cocktails always taste good and refreshing. The food quality is always consistent and the service is superb. Started with the escargots and the baratta salad. Followed with “steamy hot” squash soup. The soup was creamy and tasty. We had beef tenderloin with truffle and the beef was so tender. Finished off with cheesecake and mango coconut gelato. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
