    We met some friends there for a late lunch. The temperature was great and we were very comfortable. Service was great, thank you Lewis, and we just really enjoyed ourselves. We walked through the inn after lunch and enjoyed all the beautiful Christmas decorations too.

    Lunch was delicious. Donna, our waitress was fantastic. Thank you for your wonderful service and being so attentive to us. One person from our party has never been here and she was amazed and enjoyed it so much. Happy Holidays to all your staff. We will be back again to enjoy this beautiful place. Thank you.

    Beautiful afternoon, excellent service by Sal, delicious Shrimp Carbonara and a fantastic Grilled swordfish sandwich. Tried the Baked Cherry Gellato for dessert and were very glad we did ... It was excellent!

    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.
