The Veranda Steak and Seafood

I hate to make this kind of review of a long standing family owned restaurant. But alas, here we are. We really wanted to enjoy this. It would be great to support a small business locally and we don’t have a ton of good privately owned restaurants in our area. But this was bad.

We were there on a Friday night at 6:30 pm and the restaurant was almost empty which, ok, not an issue. But I mention this because with 3 tables sat and a total of maybe 9 people in the restaurant you would expect perfect execution. Instead, we got appetizers coming out at different times, steak temp way way off, one steak entirely the wrong cut from what ordered, and a side dish (Brussels sprouts) that didn’t show up until we were 80% done with our meals. And those were really not good. The filet mignon was tough and extremely under seasoned. You could immediately tell it wasn’t a very good quality cut of meat. At the price point you’re at, serving a $45 steak… I would just expect, at minimum, I get what I ordered and at the temp I ordered it. Especially with so few people in the restaurant.

The dessert was okay, the appetizer was ok. Nothing that stood out.

We, unfortunately. will not go back.

Food was excellent , service was awesome. Great ambiance. Definitely recommend. Blackened Flounder with crab.. sooo good.

Wanted to really enjoy this place, but was very let down. The interior needs major updates. Ordered a filet mignon, could hardly cut it and very tough. Husband ordered stuffed flounder and was just stuffing basically.
Ordered a couple glasses of wine and could tell it had been uncorked for some time…wish I had a better experience.

We had been waiting for a special occasion to try this restaurant. We went to celebrate my adult son's birthday. 4 of us ordered the filet, all medium rare. 2 steaks came out correctly, 2 were well done. Well done steaks were sent back and the 2 that replaced them were served raw. 1 of the steaks were for the birthday boy. Very disappointing. Server seemed apologetic but made no effort to accommodate my son. When I asked to speak to the manager in private, the chef walked out with a very angry look on her face and a horrible attitude. Very unpleasant woman. She made no apology. Birthday boy and his fiance never ate, and it completely ruined our evening. Quality of filet mignon that we did eat was poor and appetizers were subpar.

My recent visit to The Veranda was, without a doubt, one of the most exceptional dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a truly memorable evening. The ambiance is simply sublime: the dim lighting, soft music.
​The service was impeccable. The staff is attentive and professional, with a deep knowledge of every dish. They took the time to answer my questions and offer personalized recommendations, making me feel truly cared for.
​But the real star of the show was the food. Each dish is a work of art, both visually and in taste.

Very intimate setting. Gorgeous dining area, beautiful food, extremely delicious. I forgot his name and I apologize, but the main host/server is extremely welcoming and kind, always had a smile on his face. It was a wonderful experience

FIRST TIME VISIT. ROMANTIC ,QUIET ATMOSPHERE.
GREAT SERVICE! GREAT FOOD. .....EASY TO HAVE CONVERSATION WITHOUT ALL THE BACKGROWND NOICE.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND WILL BE COMING BACK.

Wonderful dinner. Nice atmosphere. Love being able to bring my own wine. Just a nice place for a nice dinner out. Highly recommended.

Sure, great to bring grandma for dinner...but not really.

The food was delicious, and the service was impeccable. My party and I were the last table served on Mother's Day 2025, so it was very quiet like the restaurant closed its doors just for us. The place is beautiful, and I loved the background music

We has a reservation for a week and when we got to the place on 9/26/24 we found a handwritten note on the door saying they were closed since they were catering out. I never got any kind of notification regarding the closing. We drove about one hour to get to a great disappointment.
We will not try again.
