    First time here, very pleasantly surprised. Excellent cuisine all around, but particularly liked grilled Brussel sprouts, lobster roll and salmon salad at lunch. Beautiful atmosphere and comfortable seating with plenty of umbrellas, view of golf course etc. Highly recommend

    Chicken Club sandwich and flat bread pizzas were extremely good. Service was timely and attentive.

    We all enjoyed our appetizers and entrees, along with drinks and a bottle of wine, but service was somewhat fleeting and we had to hunt down a server 2-3 times. When we moved inside due to a mosquito sensitive member of our party, the ambience dropped. The bill was a double take. There is a $17 “resort fee” which I do not like. That fee should not include the local drop-in for a meal. It sure what other feature or service of the resort we used that commanded the need for a fee. Don’t plan to go back except possibly the sports bar after a golf game… assuming no “resort fee”.

    I was hosting a birthday party, and Veranda was outstanding. The manager and our server were exceptional in every way. The bacon was the best I have ever had in a BLTA, and my friends thought the sweet potato fries were excellent. 5 stars all around. Thank you!

    After several years of eating at the Veranda, I think that the quality of the food has declined.

    The place and the food is amazing! But the person who sat us gave us a very hard time and rude attitude to let us sit!
