Your servers are the best. Breakfast with my granddaughter for her birthday. The birthday sparkler reminds me of our summer trips to SC when my brother and I would go into motel closets with sparklers😂 Thank you to your staff..

This is an absolutely charming restaurant in a historic building from the 1800’s. The ambiance is refined yet warm and welcoming. Beautiful interior design elements. Creative cocktail menu and curated CA-focused wine list. Wonderful menu, organic and locally-sourced, in-house pastry chef. Salmon was delicious, the bread pudding was the best I’ve ever encountered. The attentive wait staff and mixologist were a joy to engage with.

The salsas alone are worth the trip. Tortillas handmade on the premises are delicious. The recently expanded menu means everyone finds what they want. Taco Tuesday is a fantastic bargain. Fish tacos are sublime and made with high quality fish. My mate loves the steak and also fried chicken tacos. Shrimp Diablo was yummy. Love this place.

Had breakfast at Madi PB last Saturday and loved everything about it! The food was delicious, the service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made us want to settle in and stay a little longer. Everything came together for a really great morning. Loved the curros!! Can’t wait to go back!

We were visiting from out of town with our two dogs. The ambience and view from the balcony with the outdoor dining was spectacular! We were there at sunset. The menu was delicious. We even got hamburger and chicken for our dogs served in little bowls that were high-quality meals for them as well. We will be back. Highly recommend! We were there at sunset.

    We came to Veranda to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, and it turned out to be the perfect choice. We started with the Parker House Rolls, Squash Blossoms, and Burrata, and every one of them was fantastic. For entrées we had the Citrus Shrimp, the Snapper, and the Short Rib Burger, and all three exceeded our expectations. What truly made the evening memorable, though, was our server, Cody. His suggestions for both the appetizers and entrées were spot-on, and his service was flawless from start to finish: attentive without hovering, and clearly invested in making our anniversary special. He's the reason we'll be back. Thank you, Cody, and thank you, Veranda, for a wonderful night.

    The food and presentation was consistent and absolutely delicious. Service staff seemed very rushed - bumped into my table or me at least four times. I had to lean over in my seat to avoid getting bumped by the waitress whenever she walked by. Would return to try other food items on the menu nonetheless.
