Veritas Gateway To Food & Wine

We had high hopes for Veritas after reading great reviews but unfortunately, we didn’t have the opportunity to even eat the food. After being seated, our server decided to never come back shortly after taking an appetizer order. Twenty-five minutes later, we still hadn’t received the appetizer or even been asked for our main order. At that point, we left—apparently unnoticed. If this level of service is typical, the positive reviews are hard to understand.

On the day of our event, the execution was flawless. Every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The food? Absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully prepared and bursting with flavor—our guests are still talking about it. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and effortlessly elegant, creating the perfect backdrop for a truly special evening. To the entire Veritas team: thank you.

Went for first time for our wedding anniversary dinner. Arrived at 445pm Was told cannot order off dinner menu until 5:30 although we were only table there.. why open for dinner but now allow ordering off dinner menu until later? So ordered off a limited menu, food was bland. Drinks were overpriced. Manager was sweeping the patio as we were out there eating… can’t you sweep before you open instead of while people have plates of food ? Will never forget back here

We had another wonderful Mother’s Day brunch at Veritas. Thank you to the whole crew! You made my family and I feel very special. We loved the scrumptious food. It’s not a buffet. It’s much more special. You are actually served. We stared with wonderful appetizers of deviled eggs, shrimp and devils on horse back. The next course was yummy southern style grits. I don’t want to forget to mention the amazing bread basket with an assortment delicate croissants, homemade bread, whipped butter and locally sourced jams. I ordered the delicious eggs Benedict, my husband enjoyed the quiche, our son loved the brioche French toast with baked fruit and my mom had the eggs Norwegian with smoked salmon. She thought it was tasty. We all enjoyed to utmost. If that doesn’t sound like enough. They had a beautiful array of desserts. I’m not sure if the lemon poppyseed muffins or the to die for chocolate brownie was my favorite. We love that Stephaine shared the story of her family secret recipe about the brownies. As much as we enjoyed the brunch, I have to admit Veritas dinners are one of my very favorite in all of St. Louis. This little hidden gem is a true treat always.

After the new reopening, everything continues to be as incredible as it's ever been! The appetizers are amazing!

Great place!

Hidden gem! The food was amazing with wonderful flavor. The Spicy Mama
Marg was one of the best spicy margs I’ve ever had. The chocolate chip cookies were bought for the kids and we tried them and oh my goodness, so delicious!

Recommended dishes: Braised Pork With, Kale Salad

Tucked away in a little strip mall at the Clayton and Clarkson intersection, we found this awesome place, Veritas!!
We went there for our anniversary and had an incredible dining experience! The food was not only delicious but excelled in both quality and quantity (hats off to the chef). We opted for the Thursday three-course option, and every dish exceeded our expectations.
To start, we had the goat cheese and eggplant dip with fried pita, which was perfectly balanced in flavor and texture, and a fantastic way to begin the meal and as an accompaniment for our cocktails.
Our cocktails were equally impressive—each one had multi layered flavor and were crafted with innovation and care.
For our main courses, the braised pork was tender and rich, while the steak frites were cooked to perfection. And to top it all off, the brownie with icecream was a decadent and satisfying dessert.
A special shoutout to our server, Jordan, who was incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. She made sure we were well-informed about the specials and helped enhance our dining experience with great recommendations.
The whole experience made our day and we can’t wait to return! Highly recommended.

Great experience. A genuine independent/locally owned restaurant and feel. The food is an 11.5 on a scale of 1-10. Generous portions, and perfectly prepared. Some have said they had to wait on their food. Yes, you do. Because it’s made to order. That just offers time to enjoy another glass of wine from One of the best wine menus in St. Louis. I had a wonderful experience, enjoying a great dinner with my wife. We will be back. I definitely recommend.
