Our Mother's Day experience at Vera Restaurant was superb! My daughter and I made a last-minute…read moredecision to call and check for lunch availability for two. Fortunately, they had a table for us. Upon our arrival, I was very pleased with the restaurant's ambiance, which featured unique art designs at the entrance. The host, Cristina, welcomed us warmly and guided us to our seats by a large window. We were promptly attended to by both Cristina and Melanie, who provided us with the menu and shared some background about Vera. The dining area was bright, clean, and spacious, and the menu was simple and easy to read. I ordered a glass of Sarah's Vineyard Pinot Noir, while my daughter chose a Winter Four drink. Our meals arrived promptly. I enjoyed the Yuku Salmon Bowl, which was delightful and refreshingly fresh--I cleaned my plate! My daughter had the appetizing Ahi Tuna & Saba Noodle Bowl. We concluded our meal with Profiteroles, which were bite-sized caramelized puff pastries with the perfect amount of sweetness. Complimentary, custom-made flower arrangements were beautifully crafted by Dani, who helped make our dining experience at Vera memorable. I would like to give compliments and a shout-out to Cristina, Melanie, and Dani for their excellent service. Overall, I highly recommend Vera Restaurant as a must-visit eatery. My daughter and I truly enjoyed the peaceful ambiance and, most importantly, the excellent food!

Very nice ambiance and interior, especially with the art gallery. Hopefully they get some shrubbery or decor on the outside of the edge of the restaurant to block out the view of the metal fence in the back, but the setting was great otherwise. The staff and service were great as well. The food was good, but I'd love to see a few more shareable options. Overall, great restaurant and staff. Will definitely be back to enjoy the Spring menu.

I'm still stunned how good the burgers and pizza are and honestly I call it Vegan Black Magic because it's not just good it's honestly better tasting than some of my favorite burger joints. We tried out the California buffalo wings yesterday and they absolutely popped. If you're still on the fence: Frozen cocktails on an 80 degree day is going to make for a great experience. They offer great outdoor seating, service is fast and you will be blown away by the dishes they create. My girlfriend shared a slice of her pizza and it was absolute !

We had to ask for drinks every time we need another. We also ordered the taco's. Again, the place had few patrons and it took forever to get the tacos. Once we did finally get them ...they were cold! When you charge as much as they do for 3 tiny tacos, the food should be hot! The tacos tasted good but would have been better hot. I also think 4 tacos would be fair for the price they charge for 3.

Although the nachos weren't bad, I'm not wild about fusion nachos. I didn't believe the tandoori flavor paired well in nachos. But it wasn't bad. Just not my thing. For drinks, we ordered the Palomas. This was my first time having a Paloma, and I am a fan. It was perfectly refreshing and not too strong, but not too weak. I was actually really hoping to walk over here often to watch the Kings games since I can't get those games on my YT TV, as they are not local. But they told me they don't have the "sports" channels beyond the local teams. Bummer! You'd think with big TVs they would. The large TVs make the place feel like a great place to watch the games. But they are limited. I'd easily give them 5 stars if they had the sports channels. But I will be back! The bartender was very friendly. She told me about karaoke night next Thurs. I'm so there!

We started with Sangria (both red and white) and tho I like the white a bit more, both are really good. We also had the "a little bit of both" share charcuterie, and that was much more than expected! Not fancy, but 2 cheeses, 2 meats, assorted nuts, olives (have pits be safe!) and grapes with a few slices of a nice crusty bread and these really good large cracker type bread that was just perfect to have with our sangrias. We sat outside while a great local band played, the heaters were perfectly warm, nice string lights, and a good atmosphere. We also ordered a coffee and a beer later on, but I forget what kind of beer. Was good, I just don't recall the beer or ale. Staff was pretty attentive most of the time. The reason for not 5 stars: while I was in the industry for almost 50 years, our server seemed to get bored with us at some point and we had to flag her down. It was busy so I understand but the attitude changed a bit. Also, we wanted an item on the menu from The website and it wasn't available as the website wasn't updated. Minor issue, but the server seemed annoyed. Next time I keep the menus so that doesn't happen again. Still, totally worth the visit and since I live in the area now I would love to become a regular! Next time I want to try the flatbread

The weather was a bit chilly so we ate inside but they have lovely outdoor seating available which would be really pleasant on a warm day. Appetizers: eggplant rollatini Coconut prawns - both were delicious. If you enjoy eggplant I highly recommend the rollatini. Dinner: everyone in our party ordered the beef Wellington except for 1 Chilean sea bass. All was cooked perfectly and I think the Wellington should be a house special Kyle was our server and he was extremely friendly and went above and beyond with asking when to bring out the entrees so that we weren't rushed thru the shareables and could enjoy the meal and conversation There was a nice birthday surprise which was complimentary and made my son feel very special Will definitely return to Ladera Grill

We visited Ladera Grill on a Sunday evening and it was fairly empty with maybe 5/6 guests in the whole restaurant. We were seated right away with our reservation into a nice booth. The table setting here is lovely and the menus are high-quality. Everything that you would expect for a romantic fine dining experience. The host who helped us was a young girl and she was very polite, nice, and helpful. :) Something I really love about this restaurant is that they have so many amazing different options to select from. It was honestly a bit tough to make a decision because everything sounded so great in the menu! lol. Eventually I did decide I would try something new so I chose the Filet Mignon Pasta because it sounded like something that is very unique. I have never heard of this before so I was inspired to try it out! :) My boo got the Chicken with rice and broccoli. Everything was delicious! &Wow the food arrived very fast. I must say we absolutely LOVED the Filet Mignon Pasta it was PACKED with so much juicy, meaty, flavor. Yum yum! Highly recommend. Everything with our experience here was lovely and our server was pretty decent also. I only took one star off because the restaurant experience leaves a little to be desired like we don't necessarily love it enough to come back but it was definitely a nice experience overall. :) The #1 memorable thing about our experience was the delicious pasta :D but everything else was pretty standard. Still I would definitely recommend for a date night, small get together, and/or a quiet business meeting (since I noticed a few going on at the time lol.)

On top of that, the food took a long time to come out even though it was early in the day and the restaurant wasn't busy. The atmosphere also felt uncomfortable.

I really hope they can get things back to how they used to be because this used to be one of my favorite spots.

I've always wanted to visit this place for karaoke, finally made it out on a Saturday night…read more Terrible experience with the KJ for the night. What's the point of karaoke if you turn down the mic and can't hear the singer? Even asking the KJ to turn up the mic mid song and I feel like he turned down the mic even more. The worst part as a singer is you have to put more energy into singing and it's the most annoying thing to do. This KJ had a lot of ego while at it sensitive too for a simple request. He seems to favor the women, quite obvious and sexist. These are the worst kinds of KJ you deal, unfortunately. Yikes! He barely has any singers, and disses new singers -- what a joke. I stayed longer to observe a bit more and I can guarantee you that he definitely has favorite singers/regulars. Side note on the bartenders, they really know how to ignore you lol, I mean this place is really nice, but the people running this place!!! Really don't like the way they treat people. Yuck, never coming back. Hope yall do something about this, puts a bad name on your business.

I didn't even need to cut them open to know. I used my knife, barely touched it and I instantly knew the eggs were overcooked. How did it even get on the plate. HOW? That plate was $48 and the eggs weren't cooked properly. I couldn't believe it and still can't believe it. Besides the flavor was just okay. - The egg Benedict with Chorizo was super salty. Couldn't even it it. - Bone marrow was really salty too - Same with Fried calamari. It was just okay. The fried calamari I had at Tasty pot at a much cheaper price is way better. - The side of Brussels Sprouts was burnt The ones that I do like from this restaurant is Miss Peaches cocktail and yogurt parfait.
