    My wife's knife had dried water streaks; her wine glass was dirty on the bottom. Food was quite good.

    Our group of six had a wonderful dining experience at Veranda in Rancho Bernardo. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the stunning views of the golf course, which provided a relaxing and scenic backdrop for our meal. Our late brunch started with drinks, and the selection did not disappoint. The cocktails were well-crafted, and great beers. Our appetizers were equally delightful, setting the tone for an enjoyable meal. For entrées, each of us ordered something different, and everyone was pleased with their choices. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, making for a pleasant and unhurried dining experience. Overall, Veranda offers a fantastic combination of great food, excellent service, and breathtaking views. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxing meal with friends or family. Highly recommended!

    Hotel food priced like a 5 star but tastes like black angus. Several orders had errors and arrived slow.

    The service was great, the food is good, but in my opinion if the could add a few new items in their breakfast menu it would be fantastic.

    When we booked on open table it said only outdoor seating. When we got to the restaurant it was cold outside. We were seated at a table without a heating lamp and were told they would get one right away. We were seated for ten minutes and had to ask again. We have a 2 year old and she was cold. Should not have to ask a second time for the obvious. Food was ok. Some dishes were good, but my ribeye seemed unsalted. Overall was not a great experience.
