Fantastic! We decided to spend part of our 45th wedding anniversary at Louisiana purchase… Service was spectacular! Food was spectacular! Even the chef came out and checked on us… It was wonderful! You will not go wrong by having lunch or dinner at the Louisiana purchase!

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.

Food was excellent! Got their black and blue flatbread appetizer for lunch. WOW! Try it! Partner always gets grilled cheese and tomato soup. Can’t beat that either. Great place for any meal. Anthony, our server, is the best! Thanks Anthony!’

Great food and prices- love the Pizookie deals! Noise level is very high and harder for older people but food selection is good for all ages.

Three Three Seven is my favorite dining experience, not only in San Diego, but possibly of all time. The thought and concern that chef Jay and his team take to curate an incredible meal is truly unforgettable. Every dish is somehow both fresh and new but nostalgic at the same time. I’ve been twice so far and will continue to be a dedicated guest forever!

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.
