None of my friends enjoyed their food--the dishes were underwhelming and absolutely not worth the money. The service was also horrible, which only made the experience more frustrating. I ordered the French onion soup and it was terrible--dry, soggy bread with barely any cheese and hardly any broth. I also had a flatbread pizza, and honestly, I've had better pizza at Papa John's. None of the food was desirable, and no one at our table even finished their meal. I've never felt like I wasted money at a restaurant the way I did here. The only positive thing I can say is that the restaurant itself is cute and has decent ambience, but that's about it. I wouldn't come back or recommend spending your money here.

What a pleasant surprise of a restaurant behind the very non-descript but mysterious grey building…read morewith no-signage door! It's a restaurant with an overall speakeasy vibe BUT is not dark and foreboding. Rather, its high ceilings, well spaced out tables, and appropriately lit dining/bar space has a welcoming, cool vibe! And the music to fill the space before the live music was well, my kinda music - vibey 80s/90s hip hop. On top of that, the STAFF - the folks we met on a Monday (senior citizen hour) night were incredibly kind and attentive. We did stay through the first set of musicians that performed and it was great. Loud, but not loud enough that me and my friend couldn't still talk. Now onto the food. A nice surprise, considering this is a music joint! That bread was solid. The side portions decent - mushrooms and broccoli were fine. The steak was a generous size, cooked appropriately medium rare, and came with a unique side of bone marrow salsa. That was a nice, interesting touch. Was it the BEST food I've ever had? Not exactly, BUT it was the best food as part of a music joint, in the Valley. So the 5 star rating is really for the OVERALL experience.

**TL;DR: Great food, but terrible seating layout and "VIP" policy ruins the experience**…read more We booked a reservation well in advance and explicitly selected the main dining room, looking forward to the live music experience Verse is known for. Instead, we were placed to the right of the stage in a row of three 2-person tables (which they still consider the "main dining room"). For a venue centered around a performance, this layout makes zero sense: You only see the backs and profiles of the band, and the tables are positioned so that one person literally has their back to the stage the entire night. It felt like a second-class experience that completely missed the mark on value. Seeing three empty tables with proper views, we asked the hostess if we could move. We were told no because they were "completely booked and reserved for VIPs." Some time later, a manager came by to say that one of the VIPs hadn't showed up so a table was now available (the VIP by the way was an off-duty worker there). We didn't end up moving; the whole interaction left us with really mixed, sour feelings. It's incredibly frustrating to know regular paying customers who book ahead are treated as second-tier while prime tables sit empty for no-show "VIPs." Valet is $15 by the way. Due to the subpar experience and being stuck in a corner, I just couldn't in good conscience order the way I typically do, which usually includes multiple appetizers, several pasta and main dishes, dessert, and a great bottle of wine or champagne. Instead, we heavily scaled back our meal. As for what we did try, the kitchen has real highlights but a few misses. We started with the Peruvian scallops (5 to an order), served cold, ceviche-style, which had good flavor. For mains, the lobster tagliatelle was excellent. However, the mushroom linguini fell short; the pasta was far too tough and needed a couple more minutes of cooking, and it was oversaturated with a mornay sauce that completely overpowered the dish. To drink, the rosé was crisp and fresh. Overall, while some of the food is excellent, the poor floor layout and frustrating seating policies made this an extremely disappointing experience that wasn't worth the premium price.

I had never had (what I think were) yellow and white carrots but the complimented the hummus so well. We were planning on ordering dessert but we all felt full and decided to go walk it off at city walk. So for three drink three plates we paid about $60. But we enjoyed it

Would it be my top choice for Mexican food if I'm looking for a traditional taco or burrito? No, but this restaurant markets itself as a modern spin on Mexican cuisine, and the food is solid overall. At my last meal I ordered tacos and shared one taco entree with a friend. Each taco order comes with two, and the duck confit had a great mixture of savory and sweet flavors with the goat cheese, bean puree, and pickled onions. I shared the fried chicken tacos with my friend and found it to be unremarkable. On the other hand, the seasonal cocktail that I ordered was well-made and made me curious about trying other alcoholic beverages when I return in the future.
