Kudos to the Chef! We love the food, but we especially loved the community support that this restaurant is giving.. very happy to know that a portion of the proceeds will be going toward helping, those in need. Beautiful restaurant, and a great time!

Great first visit. Food was very good and great value considering the location and view. Service a little scattered, but exceedingly friendly. Was a great meal.

My sister and I brought a friend to celebrate his birthday and to see the band Kymistry 101. Dinner was delicious, atmosphere great, especially looking out at the water. Also didn't know DJ Jeff Nee was there, so we stayed awhile after band finished to dance freestyle. Looking forward to coming back

As a boater I have always enjoyed coming to this establishment throughout the years as it is easy to get to by water and has ample docking. We were eager to try the new venue early this season and have to say we were surprised how good it was. In fact it was so good we had to try it again the following week, and once again there were no disappointments. Since then we have been back multiple times with friends and family for both lunch and dinner and every time it has been fantastic!

The calypso calamari appetizer is a must and the tacos (shrimp, chicken, and lobster) are delicious. Pretty much anything with the Vern sauce is a must try! The burgers and steaks are delicious as well.

The Vern is a great addition to waterfront dining and we look forward to going back!

This place is awesome. Don't know what to talk about 1st. So many good things to say... I ordered the duck and my wife got the shrimp & scallops over pasta. Everything was excellent the duck melted in your mouth, and never enjoyed roasted potatoes like I did at Vern. My wife's dinner was awesome as well, the sauce was delicious and the pasta cooked perfectly. My waiters name was Christian, professional, friendly, and efficient. Really can't say enough... my friend had told me the chef was awesome and that is fact.

We were fans of the old Gull and decided to give Vern a shot after being open a few months. It’s no Gull! Went for happy hour, and after 15 mins sitting at the bar without so much as a greeting one of the two bartenders said “oh, do you want a drink?”…no, I’m just here to watch tv…”Yes, we’d like a drink and can we please see a menu.” Happy hour menu is limited to sliders, wings, fish & chips and oysters/clams with some drinks specials. Of course, we had to ask for utensils and condiments because why wouldn’t we based on how the experience was going so far. The fish & chips were fine…typical fried bar food. We were expecting a little more out of the menu, food, and service based on the renovations and apparent desire to be more than the local boater hangout that was the Gull. Vern gives off vibes of trying to be hip and lavish but it didn’t strike with us and unfortunately I don’t think we’ll be back

Food was so amazing no complaints - however the service was very slow - took 20 min to get our drinks- my order was wrong- server disappeared and another server came after to assist. Disappointed in the customer service as the restaurant was empty and looked like they had two servers and a helper which is reasonable for a lunch shift on a weekday. Would definitely come back for the food but definitely at a different time.

I had lunch today at Vern for the first time with two of my friends. The food was good. The ambience was nice. The service was slow. I think they’re working out some of the kinks of being a new business.

Vegetarian options: I had a salad. They were three salads on the menu to choose from. They accommodated my changes to the salad. They added avocado and chicken.

My daughter and I had the chicken and shrimp tacos and they were delectable!! They were stuffed full of goodness (the menu description doesn't do it justice) and the fries.. oh the fries, so good. My daughter said they were some of the best fries she's ever had. They also had live music which was the perfect cherry on top. I almost forgot.. the "vern" sauce is pairs well with just about anything that you'd normally dip.
