Bread was delicious! Our waitress was great and super sweet to my son. Was a little bummed we went for a birthday and they didn't come sing or anything (yes we made them aware) I was super bummed! They did it for the table next to us so they do normally do it? Threw me off a bit. Fair pricing for the cuts of meat. They did give us an extra piece of bread because my son and I split a dinner. Love the environment although felt bad because I have a VERY vocal baby. Did feel a bit rushed when paying and other staff grabbing plates..

Cool Atmosphere, but Service & Food fell short... I really…read morewanted to love this place because the vibe is awesome. It has that old-school cowboy theme with the swinging wooden doors and a bunch of dollar bills tacked to the ceiling. Very cool spot to hang out, but unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the look. I came in with a party of 4 and the wait for the dining area was 30-50 minutes. We managed to squeeze into a tiny table with high stools in the bar area just to get seated. We waited quite a while for service until a bartender finally made eye contact and took our order. The Food... well I ordered 12oz Tri-Tip ($32 market price): Honestly, I was disappointed. The steak was dry and lacked flavor. To make it worse, I was given a knife but no fork, so by the time I actually got a fork, my food was cold. I asked for A1 sauce to help with the dryness, but they don't carry it. My brother ordered the Grilled 1/2lb Cheeseburger and my sister and her boyfriend shared the Tri-Tip Sandwich. I ended up taking most of my meal to go because it just wasn't hitting the mark. Great place for a drink and the Western vibes, but the service and kitchen need some coordination. I almost forgot, the jalapeño poppers and the Ace apple cider was probably the best thing there for me. Dangerously delicious

We liked Cosmos Lounge enough that we came back for dinner two nights in a row, which on a road…read moretrip says a lot. Usually we're off chasing the next meal like culinary nomads. By this point in the trip, we were fully committed to our "tapas style everything" philosophy. Why order one entrée each when you can create a tiny feast and slowly steal bites off each other's plates with zero shame? Over the two evenings, we shared the Berry Burrata Salad, Beet & Spinach Salad, cauliflower, Seared Ahi Tuna, Dungeness crab cakes, Angel Hair Pasta with shrimp, and lava cake. The pasta was perfectly al dente, the kind of texture that makes Italians nod approvingly from a distance. The crab cakes were flavorful and satisfying, and the beet salad thankfully avoided the tragic fate of being "healthy but boring." The lava cake was gloriously decadent and absolutely understood its assignment. The ahi tuna was good, though I wished for a bit more flavor to stand up to the wasabi situation happening on the plate. The Berry Burrata Salad was the only dish that felt a little sleepy. The berries seemed more decorative than committed. In a region overflowing with gorgeous local strawberries, I wanted the salad to lean harder into its fruity potential. Cocktail-wise, the pomegranate margarita was refreshing, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep sipping. Service was a mixed bag between the two nights. The first evening, our server gave off strong "this table again?" energy, and we had to remind her about bread. Meanwhile, one of the chefs stopped by to warmly thank us for dining there, which completely shifted the tone and genuinely stood out. Night two was a different experience altogether. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made the evening feel much more relaxed and welcoming. The space itself is lovely, warm, comfortable, with that slightly old-school elegance that makes you want to linger over another drink and pretend you are not in your hiking clothesq

We entered through the front and right past the bar, beautiful área. BM picked seating on the outside patio, lots of space with plenty of shade, and beautiful view of the course and a pond right in front of you. You come to this place for the views and tranquility this off the path place offers. The ambience is amazing for any occasion or even just to sit and catch your breath. I can go on about the ambiance but you really need to visit to get the full experience. The food was good, I had the chicken sando with a sweet slaw, on toasted sourdough. Very tasty and nice flavor combo, I would order it again. The lady had a smash burger with avocado and she enjoyed it. My boy had the asada fries. The service was good, young lady that was very professional during a busy time. Again, words cannot do justice to this place. The fact that baby momma picked a golf course for Mother's Day lunch is a testament to the beauty and tranquility of the place. I wanted to get pics of the bar and patio areas but there were people present.

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!

There were only about five people sitting at the bar, no one on the floor, yet no one greeted us. I asked the bartender if it was okay for us to sit outside, and she said yes, then immediately turned back around and continued chatting with the people at the bar as if we weren't even there. We sat outside for about 10 minutes without anyone ever checking on us. I finally went back in to ask another server if we were still okay to sit outside, and she responded very rudely, like I was bothering her just by asking. After waiting even longer with no service, we decided to leave. I completely understand having a bad day or being overwhelmed but basic acknowledgment and kindness go a long way, especially in hospitality. It was really disappointing considering this was meant to be a special lunch with my mom. And it was our first time there. We will not be returning. Bummer.

A clam chowder starter (delicious!), a huge loaded baked potato, veggie sides that weren't mushy & garlic bread where you can taste the garlic. Elsewhere, we'd have to order those separately. The best part of our meal was our server, Maddie. She was super attentive and friendly. The place was packed and we snagged the last table before others had to wait. We figured Maddie would drop our food off and we'd never see her again, being the mad house it was. But she checked back with us at least 5 times - filled my drink without me asking. It was the best service I got all year anywhere. Thank you, Maddie, for restoring my faith in great customer service!

Unfortunately, I do not have his/her name but I strongly recommend that they not be hired again. Their music selections were extremely limited. They claim to take requests but never played them. Based on their choice of music, there were only 2 to 3 couples that actually danced (except for the dozen dancers during the Electric Slide). We requested a song but when we did not hear it after an hour plus, we left, as did many others. We have been to this hall many times and have enjoyed the food and the music, but this time, only the food. I don't recommend this DJ at all. Maybe next year the hall will hire a better DJ who knows how to cater to a dancing crowd.
