   Great patio for intimate dining experience. Our waiter, Austin, was very attentive and thorough - friendly as well. Moraccan meat balls were a new, delicious experience. Salmon was prepared with crispy skin while maintaining almost sashimi texture, exactly as we requested. Craig, the manager, also checked us to see if all was ok. We're going back tomorrow evening.

   My friend and I came from out of town and were super excited to try Verbena! Unfortunately, due to the lack of service our time there was disappointing. Our waitress Anna, probably came to our table three times. Never asking us if we needed anything, if our food was okay, nothing. We watched her just stand in the corner talking to other staff pretty much the whole time. The restaurant was not busy, and when you’re spending over 100 dollars you think there would be some care in service. But there was not. I will say the restaurant is beautiful, the cheese board was one of the best I’ve had, and the manager was very nice. Ps. Don’t get a vodka martini there… unless you want 80 percent olive juice.

   Verbana exceeded my expectation. From the moment we arrived, the abience, service and drinks were on point. We sat inside, but the patio was beautiful, as well. I went with a party of 4, and after reviewing the menu, we decided to order the food tapas style without regret. This gave us all a chance to try a little bit of everything from each section of the menu. We ordered 5 starters, a salad, and split the huge Bone in Rib Eye which comes with a generous serving of Truffle Mac & Cheese. We practically rolled out of the restaurant. There was no room in our stomachs for dessert, although I did see a few dessert plates go by that looked AMAZING. When it came time to pay the bill, I was shocked at how reasonable the price was. We definitely, all, be coming back again soon.

    I really wanted to like this place - the ambiance was great (I sat outdoors). The waitstaff was super friendly. But the food was just so…plain! I had the zucchini fritters and there was an odd after-taste. The salmon, which was supposed to be “brown butter” salmon, was very plain. The people were wonderful though which is why I have mixed feelings about the place.

    Verbena is a good restaurant that we are adding to our go to list. This was actually our second time here for dinner. The menu is simple with good ingredients and a few nice surprises, like the potatoes, squared off easy sliced tasty. Last night we shared the Burrata appetizer which stands out from other places due to the addition of fresh pomegranate seeds. We each had the pomegranate vodka drink - very light summer taste, very nice cocktail. We each had the hanger steak entree served with the above- mentioned potato. The portion size is good, not overly large. The staff is welcoming and accommodating, as my partner has several food sensitivities. A good value at a pretty restaurant. The patio is very pretty.

    The menu is a random disaster of unrelated food. Our meal came out cold, the crudo was fishy, the flank steak was cold and the fries were just awful.

    Spinach and cheese dip and oysters were fantastic. Salmon, pork loin and burger were all good. Only issue is that our salad arrived AFTER our meal was finished. Took a long time to get drinks from the bar as well. I think staffing was an issue (as it is everywhere!). But we would still go back.

    Our server was exceptional and the burger is great, but the rest was quite bad. Several things we wished to order were unavailable, for a 6:00 reservation. The food took almost 90 min to arrive - in a restaurant that only had about 20 tables- and when it came one of the entrees that was supposed to have grilled shrimp came with shrimp that was refrigerator temp with several raw pieces. The food was rightly comped but what a sad Mother’s Day dinner.

    Our first visit here. The courtyard was nice. The waiter was trying. He was overwhelmed as they appeared understaffed. However, overall very poor experience. They didn't have the steaks we wanted but didn't tell us for longer than was appropriate. So I got a burger... The food was okay, not worth the nearly $200 bill. Worst part is that it took over an hour to get our food out. The waiter came out and told us that the kitchen had broken and the manager was worried. However, no manager came out to talk. Nothing was offered. At the end of the night, we got a "Thank you for your patience" and a bill, that with tip, came in at over $225 for four people. So unfortunate. If the manager had come out and given us an apology or they had offered to nock something off the bill, we would probably had a totally different take away. I had high hopes.

    Verbena is a reliable go-to restaurant with limited choices for food and wine, but what they do have is well chosen and reasonably priced. Waitstaff are pleasant and friendly. A nice pleasant place in a convenient location. Try their rosti appetizer!

    Hadn't been to Verbena in a while but is still a great space (patio seating is incredible) with a great vibe and outstanding people watching. Burger was delicious as was blue cheese/ beet salad. Wine list is lacking but the Mezcal cocktail is muy bueno indeed. Our server was attentive and friendly. Need to visit more often.

    During a recent stay at the adjoining hotel, I ate multiple meals at Verbena. The pros: tasty food (short rib hash, pancakes and cheese flatbread were yummy examples) and reasonable prices. Cons: One of our servers was indifferent at best, which was particularly annoying when we waited over an hour for a meal (though on another occasion she was slightly better as was service timing); additionally, their hours don't fit a hotel restaurant (e.g., opening at 7 a.m. on weekdays).

    Staff was very nice. Felt like the restaurant may have been under staffed. We had reservations at 11:15 on Sunday. When we got seated it took 20mins to get our drink order placed, didn’t even get water while we waited. When we finally placed our orders it was as another hour before we got our food. 2 if the meals were not correct and some plates were cold food. While the restaurant is gorgeous, the service was disappointing. Food was, decent.

    Our reservation was at 7:30, we ordered quickly as we felt they were already slow with getting our drinks. It took a very long time getting our appetizer. By 9:00 we noticed everyone around us- guests that arrived a long time afterwards - had their food but we were still missing our main course. Our waitress kept telling us it would only be about 5 more minutes for about 45 minutes. We had an event to go to so we needed to leave. The staff was hard to track down, finally got someone to come back to us and we left without eating our full dinner. Very disappointed. That’s the 3rd time I have been there and each time the service is worse, won’t be going back.

    Food was great when it finally came, but took two hours to get salads, and we weren’t really checked on or updated on the situation throughout. At the two hour mark, we told our waitress if they hadn’t already made them, just to forget it, because we were now late for our concert. After asking “what table are you at?”, she promised they were coming, so we waited a little longer. No one came by and said anything after, or comp-ed an appetizer, nothing- just have fun at your concert. Seems like a lot of disorganization in the kitchen.
