    Really nice looking space. The servers were helpful and responsive. The food was executed well but their taste left a lot to be desired. Charcuterie board, for its price, was subpar. Goat cheese and blueberry flatbread was probably the best item we had. Guac was good, burrata flatbread was very odd and not great. Usually can’t go wrong with burrata dishes. Overall average.

    We went to Verbena for our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had let them know that we would be bringing our own bottle of champagne and the table was set accordingly. The appetizers were delicious including a very inventive take on ceviche. We both ordered the chile relleno which was a tad too spicy for my taste but perfect for my wife. The tres leches cake was wonderful as was the service.
    VerbenaResponded on January 3, 2025
    Hi Barry, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re honored that you chose us to celebrate your anniversary, and we’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the appetizers, ceviche, and tres leches cake. We’ll be sure to keep an eye on the spice levels to ensure everyone has a great experience. We look forward to welcoming you back for another special occasion or just a fantastic meal. Cheers, Carlos Urioste Food & Beverage Manager

    Appetizers were tasty but the main dish (chili relleno) was bland (lacked seasoning or salt) and the sauce was overly creamy so it wound up as a mush. They were also out of several wines by glass I tried to order and did not have substitutes.
    VerbenaResponded on December 19, 2024
    Hi Joe, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the appetizers and the ambiance. We sincerely apologize that the chili relleno did not meet your expectations, and we'll review the seasoning and sauce for improvements. We also apologize for the wine availability issues and will work to ensure we have adequate stock and alternatives for our guests. We would love to hear more about your experience and invite you back for a chance to make it right. Best regards, Carlos Urioste Food & Beverage Manager

    They had good food, the ambience was really nice and well put together. There is a bar section and a restaurant section. Portions were decent and overall good experience. Nothing to rave about but it was good.
