La Veranda Restaurant & Bar

I attended La Veranda last night with two of my in-laws and had an exceptional experience. The staff were extremely polite and engaging, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout the evening. In particular, our young server, the delightful Ashley, went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well taken care of. I enjoyed the classic Braised Oxtail, served in a rich, flavorful sauce that was perfectly complemented by a bowl of traditional Rice & Peas and a side of steamed vegetables, all for a reasonable $29. The dish was authentic and satisfying, showcasing true Jamaican culinary excellence. Adding to the ambiance was the Saturday night mix of live music, which created a lively and enjoyable atmosphere without overpowering conversation. It was the perfect soundtrack to a wonde

The service and the food was amazing! I highly recommend any time you're in the area stop by. The owners make sure that they are on site meeting and greeting each client. The best Jamaican food and reggae band for entertainment. I can't wait to go back!

Was invited to this restaurant for a birthday dinner with friends; let me say the atmosphere wasn’t bad, the food was mediocre and the service was horrible! As I’m typing this review we are still waiting on the cheque after 1 hour. The table next to ours was in and out. Why because it was the commissioner. He came after us, left before us and we are still waiting. He was waited on by the so called “manager/owner” who was rude and not decently dressed; wearing some little tank top and Jean shorts which is not restaurant approved. She claimed that she was helping out but only attended the one table. I’m glad she didn’t serve my food with all her under arm exposed. The poor server Fantasia was fantastic. The poor lady was the server, waitress, bartender and bus girl! To add insult to injury

Was really craving some island food so this sounded great. The food was incredible! It was hard to stop eating even after I was full. They definitely don't need to work on the flavor. I think the atmosphere could use some tweaking to make it more inviting. I enjoyed the music when I first sat down as it was reggaebut then it changed to disco. And it was a bit loud. I was there by myself but I can only imagine trying to have a conversation with someone with that volume. Even ordering was hard to hear. Another thing is I know that the food is prepared to order but it's definitely on the slow side. I ordered blackened salmon with rice and peas and some bammys. It took 40 minutes from the time I received my cocktail till I received my food. That is a long time considering that even cooking ri

Man oh man… La Veranda was absolutely INCREDIBLE. From the moment we walked in, everything was top-tier — the service, the food, the atmosphere, and especially the owner. I truly couldn’t have asked for a grander experience. I literally felt like I had stepped into Jamaica’s finest dining restaurant. The ambiance was elegant yet warm, the flavors were authentic and unforgettable, and every detail was intentional. The crazy part? My mother is a regular, but this was my friends’ and my first time — and now I completely understand why she keeps coming back. This place is special. A HUGE thank you for not only the amazing hospitality but also for holding onto my belongings when I accidentally left my jacket with my expensive glasses behind. That level of honesty and care speaks volumes abou
