Cocktails great, food (especially Carabonara) was lacking in taste. This was a return trip and sadly food has gone down in quality.

Could have done without the 1980s Hair Metal soundtrack that was blasting the whole time we were there. Poison? Guns n’ Roses? Def Leppard? Ratt? People still listen to that crap?

Vera is a great place for small high quality dishes paired with perfect cocktails! The food was delicious and the environment was laid back, but trendy. The cocktails are a great revival of old favorites such as the classic whiskey sour. They put their own spin on every drink and the flavors were fantastic. I would highly recommend Vera for a fun date night!
