We had an incredible dining experience at Verve on 7/18! The newly rolled out menu is phenomenal... creative, flavorful and full of savory surprises. Every dish was perfectly executed. The drinks were just as impressive...expertly crafted and refreshing. What really made the night stand out was the attentive and professional staff. EJ was our server, and we were welcomed and well cared for throughout the meal. If you are looking for a memorable night out, Verve is a must visit. Can't wait to return and explore more of the menu.

We have been coming to Verve for Mother’s Day for almost 10 years. I’m sad to say we will not be returning back next year. We had an 11:30 reservation and were sat at that time and placed our order but we did not get our food until after 1:15. The waitress came over and apologized, but still we waited over an hour for our food with no offer for another bread basket or something for our young kids who were hungry. It did come with a complementary champagne for Moms, but they stopped offering complementary Bloody Marys and no rose or carnation as in the past. When we ordered our food, my daughter asked for the French toast with no whipped cream and the waitress said "sorry we can’t take any special requests." Just to ask for No whipped cream?! So she was forced to have the whipped cream on her French toast. In the meantime, as we waited OVER 90 MINUTES for our food , nobody offered us an extra bread basket or any kind of complementary drink for the trouble. The most disappointing part was that we had a few glasses of wine and champagne and they were charged at $20 per glass! This is absurd. It has never cost that much before. We were a family of four and spent over $340 and still didn’t eat for two hours after we arrived. Very disappointing! We’ve always loved your food and service but this year it’s definitely gone downhill. We are locals and always enjoyed Mother's Day at Verve but the cost and wait this year was astronomical and unfortunately we will not return.
Come for the cocktails ?

Cozy, relaxing atmosphere inside this two-level restaurant that blends Manhattan vibes with small-town charm. The food lived up to the hype - our favorites were the pork belly appetizer, NY steak, lobster pasta, and soup. We also enjoyed the charcuterie board, which offered a nice selection. Although the staff was polite, the service was notably slow, with long waits between courses. Overall, it's a bit pricey, but the amazing food makes it worth it.

Been coming here with friends for a couple weeks now and have been loving the ambiance and atmosphere. Tried the upstairs 1933 room last night and had an incredible experience! Drinks and bartenders there are phenomenal and the food is great too. Will definitely be making this our new spot!

We didn’t get food. The kitchen closed by the time we got there. Place was pretty packed and a mouse ran across the floor multiple times. Immediately got the check and left. Staff was extremely friendly and nice but absolutely would NOT go back.

Good spot to chill and catch up with someone not loud but the environment is very social. Great drinks ?.

Have been to Verve several times throughout the years. They don’t need another great review, but I know it helps and hopefully makes a difference and helps others. Service is always great. Enjoyed their oysters, which were from Canada. Reminded me of my favorite oysters from Boston. Always a great, relaxed time at Verve.

I met some friends here on a Saturday night for drinks and dinner. I really liked the atmosphere-and the food was very good! We all got appetizers but they were the perfect size! I loved my crab cake appetizer. (It can also be an entree-which would be two crab cakes). The charred brussel sprouts were awesome. Our waitress was very attentive and the drinks were good. After the meal, we wanted to get another drink at the bar. The upstairs bar had a private party, so we ended up downstairs. The bartender allowed us to sit at a table close to the bar and it was perfect. We were able to hang out and chat without standing around the bar. I would definitely go back!
I brought my family here yesterday to celebrate Mother's Day on behalf of my mom. It took us almost thirty minutes at our table to get an acknowledgement. We were required to wait for a good twenty minutes even after placing our beverage order. We received very little attention, and as the dining experience was coming an end, my sister and mother were inadvertently splattered with water by one of the waiters who was cleaning the table. He did not even apologize or offer additional cloths so they could dry themselves. My father and I both requested that the pan-seared chicken breast not include any Brussels sprouts, but the dish still had them. Since I was paying I didn't want to voice my dissatisfaction with the situation in front of my mother who was already unhappy, I felt really let down. The fact that they tacked a $56 gratuity on top of the poor service made me even more angry. We paid about $400 for our bill, and I will not be taking my family here again. We were the only Latino family there, so who knows whether that's why we weren't treated the same as the other tables but we were paying customers and should’ve been treated better especially since it was Mother’s Day.
