    Our recent visit to this restaurant was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming ambiance that set the tone for the entire evening. The food was simply amazing. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavors that tantalized my taste buds. The chef's attention to detail and the use of fresh, high-quality ingredients were evident in every bite. I particularly enjoyed the red fish, which was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The service was truly spectacular. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was flawless. They were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about providing exceptional customer service. Rebecca took the time to explain the menu, make personalized recommendations, and check in on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed. Overall, this restaurant exceeded all my expectations. It offers a perfect blend of delectable cuisine and impeccable service. I highly recommend paying a visit and indulging in the delightful experience it has to offer.

    We eat out a lot when we are here for the 4-5 months we live on SK. We have been to many restaurants downtown, South Village, along Tamiani and in SK Village. This is by far our favorite and the best. Always a great meal, their burger is exceptional, as is their crab appetizer. I miss their halibut, but last night I had the grouper with Bok Choi- truly outstanding! My husband, who does not love fish, kept stealing from my plate! The cocktails are fun, fresh and delicious. Finally the have a nice beer and wine selection. The atmosphere is lively and the art work around the restaurant is so fun. Love Veronica’s!

    Excellent! Beautiful restaurant! We (4 of us) tried a lot of things - our usual M.O. - and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of execution and variety. The Mezze Plate, the Potato Rolls (with Lobster Salad), the Lobster Lettuce Wraps, The Fish Dip, the Crab Cake, the Octopus, the Brussel Sprouts, the Grouper, the Bibb Salad with Salmon, the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding, the Chablis (meh...), and the Loire Sauvignon Blanc (meh...). If I were to be really picky (ex - cook / CIA trained), I'd say the Grouper needs to be tweaked for the price. Muddled flavors. And the Bananas Foster Bread Pudding needs to be "stronger" in terms of the boozy flavor in the pudding and caramel - and served hot - or at least warmer than we got. But still, we had a great meal and time - and Mary was an absolute doll! We'll be back!

    Veronica's is our favorite spot to take out-of-town guests because it is always a great experience. Our server, Marsi, was amazing!

    We love to order fresh local fish where available and the menu offering did not disappoint. However both our redfish and especially the grouper were overcooked which made dinner a disappointment. Our service was not timely and we left without ordering dessert because we waited so long between courses. Overall a solid C experience.

    Had no idea what to expect. We have driven past this restaurant many times. But it popped up on a search to find a good meeting place for dinner with a friend. What a great decision. Great server who did a wonderful job of explaining the specials. Cocktails were well made and tasty. Wine selections were quite varied and reasonable priced for what they are. Food was out of this world. I had the grouper, our guest had the daily special (tubot) and my husband opted for the ribeye. Both fish dishes were excellent, fresh and beautifully presented. The hubby stated that his was the best ribeye he had ever had. We were not rushed when we got chatty, which was really appreciated. We will definitely return!
