“We enjoyed eating here. There are gluten-free options. My son has autism, and he tried rice again and decided he liked it. He got to choose what he wanted in his hibachi. Great experience there. He got to gong the gong! It cost us almost $100 for 3 people to eat and drink an ice tea. So a bit pricey, but ok for once a year on my birthday.“

“We had a family Christmas dinner for 22 over the holidays at Cafe Verona. The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Our incredible server, Andy, was attentive to the needs of the adults, teens, and children at all times! He truly made the special evening a success! Everything was set up early, including items for the children, to keep their attention and maximize the time together as a family. All of the dishes were outstanding, and my personal favorite was the mushroom lover's pasta and the lasagna (for my husband). The appetizers of house made hummus, garlic bread, and calamari were also enjoyed by all! If you have not tried Cafe Verona, give it a whirl. You will not regret the decision. Also, take a stroll around the beautiful historic Independence Square and enjoy the scenery, history, and wonderful shops. Show less Date of visit: December 2023“

“My family loves this place! The servers are always super nice and the prices are great. I wish they had more options that were dairy and gluten free and/or had an allergens menu. However, overall you can't beat this place if you love seafood and you live in a landlocked state!

Dietary restrictions: No allergen menu, and I'm not sure if the seasoning contain wheat but I don't think they do. The butter seems to not be dairy based but I can't say for sure. I'm allergic to gluten (not celiac) and casein and I'm able to eat the Cajun shrimp boil without issue.“

“The steak/chicken/shrimp fajitas were really good, surprised with how big the portion was. The different types of salsa were great. And a definite plus since they serve horchata. They should clean & sanitize the two high chairs that were in lobby. They were both disgusting & very obvious that they haven’t been cleaned/sanitized in a very long time.“

“My first experience happened to be on a Thursday, and they have bogo chicken tacos on Thursday, so of course, I got that, and the tacos were outstanding. The service was horrible though and maybe it's because I only ordered the special but my friend ordered queso and it was forgotten. Our water never refilled, and our waitress seemed bothered. Obviously, the tip was severely affected by the lack of service, and the money saved on tacos would've been added to the tip accordingly. However, it wasn't earned on this day, unfortunately. Not sure I'll go back when there's so many other great service Mexican restaurants in the area.“

“We had the pleasure of catering our wedding with Yings Thai. We were blown away by Tomas and the absolutely delectable food! Tomas had excellent communication and went over the top to make sure our day was special. He helped us plan the menu and we couldn’t have been happier. The wedding guests all raved about the food throughout the night. The egg rolls and crab Rangoon were the absolute bomb. The Pad Thai, pineapple fried rice, and stir fry stole the show! We loved how our guests could start with a mild version and increase the heat as they saw fit. Tomas was so thoughtful and posted all the possible allergy concerns and made sure peanuts were on the side for those with an allergy. Tomas and Yings Thai made our night special and for that we are incredibly grateful!“
