5 stars ... the grounds are gorgeous and a perfect walk before or after your meal. The veranda setting is delightful and very comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Everyone in our party of 6 enjoyed their meal! The Ruben and prime rib sandwich's were fantastic and the sweet potato fries perfect. The sangria was very good. No room for desert for us. The holiday decor was festive and made for some great photos. Highly recommend .. outstanding afternoon at an extremely reasonable price.. so rare! read more

Came here last week for my mother's birthday and we had the best lunch! The Pastrami Reuben was great and my mom loved her Arugula Salad. Also, we had great service from Nick. The service was fast, attentive, and he explained the meals very well. He also surprised her with a birthday ice cream. We had a great restaurant experience. Hope we can have him again the next time we come in. Hang on to him. read more

We have been coming here for YEARS to celebrate Mother's Day with the women of my family. We love the venue and atmosphere. I am sad to write this review as this has become some what of a tradition, but we will have to look for a new place to have our celebration. The service has never been anything to write home about- mostly kind but overall slow over the years. However, This time when we went we encountered a rude receptionist. She was more interested in staring at a computer screen than interacting with guest, she did not smile and was very short in her communication, not what you would expect. We were seated late for our reservation and encountered a very rude server. She has the nerve to tell my Mom that "this is not subway" as she was tryning to order a veggie omelet due to diet restrictions. I could not believe she would have the nerve to say that. She seemed like she could not handle her tables, we rarely saw her. Gave 3 stars for past experiences, this last time deserves a 1 and that is generous! read more

The entire experience of having lunch at the Veranda Restaurant at Grand Tradition Estate was wonderful! We were kindly greeted not only by the parking lot attendant, but also by the hostess. Our waitress, Nicole, was attentive and friendly. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the BLTA sandwich with the pea salad and shared the Meyer Lemon cake for dessert... DELICIOUS! The setting was just perfect. Afterwards, we enjoyed a stroll through the beautiful gardens with waterfalls, bridges, ponds and lush landscape. I highly recommend it! read more

Just had the pleasure of enjoying brunch at the Veranda. What an experience. The food, service and beautiful grounds were top notch. We tried the breakfast burrito, Del Ray omelet, fresh fruit and the amazing beignets. They didn't bat an eye at accommodating my allergies. Our server Amanda along with the rest of the service staff took great care of us. We were even greeted by several of the owners. We will be back for sure. Make sure you make reservations as this find fills up quick. read more

The Veranda Restaurant - Enjoying the view - Desserts Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Surprised and pleased overall on our first visit! The food was great. The atmosphere was good overall. The grounds are beautiful! Service was attentive but not at all friendly. When I placed my brunch order the server tried to correct me as if I said the wrong name for my meal. I was not amused and had to tell him that I read what the menu said and I restated it. Either he was unfamiliar with the menu or he was just being plain rude. Either way he clearly did not think I could read the menu. The young man truly looked at us as if he had never seen an African American couple before. If I made my decision based on the server I would not return. That is why I am giving this place three stars instead of four. However we will return for brunch one day, hoping for another server. read more

Had a fabulous lunch with the family, on the deck over looking the pond. The food was great and loved there sangria! I can't wait to go back!! I recommend that you make a reservation. read more

This is the second time I have been here the first time I was very impressed. This visit was very disappointing from the service to the food. I made a reservation on open table they didn't have it under my name even tho I showed on my app . Then they called me while I was eating lunch in regards to my reservation . Looks like they just changed the name to my husbands name as the last reservation was under his name . The sever basically just delivered our food and that was about it. I had the spinach and fruit salad. Looked very pretty but it was like a bowl full of Costco spinach decorated with fruit . And the Panini sandwich was nothing special . I think this place is more appearance and quality . read more

The Veranda Restaurant - A lot of fluff little flavor it was like a bowl of spinach topped with fruit and a side of dressing . - Desserts Near Me - Fallbrook, California

This place is a hidden gem!!! I could not get over how beautiful the grounds were and there is a view from every dining table. Food was fantastic. Coffee was delicious and fresh squeezed orange juice. Staff was pleasant. It is too bad they don't have rooms to stay in. Great getaway. Already have reservations to go back and I highly recommend you make reservations because they book fast. read more

The Veranda Restaurant - Views from every dining table! - Desserts Near Me - Fallbrook, California

Amazing view, amazing French Toast (coated with Captain Crunch!) and quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had: the prime rib.

My husband and I took his parents there for brunch. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and of course the view was GORGEOUS! They seat you outside on a patio that overlooks a heart shaped pond and a perfectly manicured lawn. We started off with a double order of the Beignets and their Bacon Bloody Mary's. I had the French Toast which is coated with Cap'n Crunch with strawberries and whipped cream, it was fabulous! My husband had the club sandwich and after the Beignets he had to bring half of it home. I would definitely recommend this restaurant, especially if you have guests from out of town. My husband and I are going to start going there more often, because the food is delicious and is reasonably priced. read more

Beautiful estate and grounds. Fresh flowers at table, relish tray to enjoy while you review the menu, superb service, the view from the veranda is just wonderful. We went with friends and ordered the avocado egg roll, the hummus plate, and the Bruschetta plate as appetizers. Each one was delicious. For our entrees we ordered the Rueben, the Prime Rib, the Cuban, and the Capriese sandwiches. Not one complaint except how full we were. All were superior. This is a true five star and worth every star. read more

First visit, had a 1pm reservation - very nice first impression, table was ready - a little snafu with the servers had us sitting about 10 min before someone asked about drinks/order. Servers and nice but young....I had the prime rib sandwich, my girl friend the burger. They bring a little plate of veggies with dressing which is nice. Entree's were good, portion size was good. We each had a dessert & shared. Lemon raspberry marscapon cake, light and delicious ( my favorite) and flourless tort - very rich but also very good. We couldn't finish the desserts. The location is great - they have maybe 15 tables total so reservations are a must on the weekends. For two entrees, two desserts and two glasses of wine is about $55 which seems fair based on the wonderful environment. I took off one star for the snafu at the beginning and we had to keep asking for refills on water - other than those minor points - I will absolutely go back and highly recommend if you want a relaxing, quiet, lunch...... read more

What a beautiful setting for a wonderful brunch! From the beginning the customer service was fantastic from the manager, hostess and waitress. Plenty of wonderful food choices - the plates are plenty big to share so you can sample more items. Afterwards we walked the grounds which are tranquil, tropical and elegant. What a treat and a gem of a find! read more

My husband and I came for brunch last weekend, It is like a little slice of heaven. The view is gorgeous, the food is incredible and the service is on point. We will absolutely be back! read more

The prices don't match the venue. Cheap prices but awesome location. The food was good too. We had a,nice brunch here.

I absolutely love coming here. Delicious food and gorgeous view! Fallbrooks hidden gem!

Been there for lunch and brunch a few times and each time I've have not been disappointed. The view itself is beautiful. The staff are friendly and the garden walk is breath taking. Each visit to The Veranda restaurant has been a breath 'tasting' experience. I have ordered the breakfast egg roll with a killer chipotle sauce. Also on a different occasion I ordered the Avocado omelet with breakfast potatoes. The potatoes were crispy and just right. The omelet was delicious. Over all, my experience has been wonderful and will continue to come. read more

My Husband and I got married here 4 years ago. This is a Fairytale wedding venue!! Everyone raved how amazing our food was at our wedding, and it still is. What a beautiful place!! We brought our friends here for brunch and it was so beautiful looking out over the estate. We ordered the puffed pastry eggs Benedict, avocado egg rolls Superb!! Service was excellent too. We will be Back soon, Thank you!! read more

I'm disappointed in the complete lack of regard this place has for potential customers. I left voice mails and sent emails for two different holiday occasions well in advance to try to make reservations. Despite an endless list of staff extensions, not one person bothered to my return my calls either time. Today I checked their website and found out they are sold out for the very Easter brunch that I tried making reservations for weeks ago! Speaks poorly for the management and their customer service. read more

My family recently celebrated my birthday at The Veranda Restaurant. Quaint little restaurant on the grounds of The Grand Tradition...what an enjoyable place to spend the day. The food, service and views were amazing. Or server Will was awesome. He was very attentive and helpful. Would highly recommend The Veranda Restaurant to anyone wanting a nice quiet Brunch/Lunch. read more

This place is incredible. It's so hidden. The place is so beautiful and the view is to die for as well as the food.

I had lunch here with my family a week ago. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service is top notch as usual. The views are incredible and the grounds are kept immaculately. This is one of Fallbrook's hidden gems. Make a reservation for lunch, you won't be disappointed and your guests will be impressed. This place gets 10 stars in my book. read more

I moved to FB five months ago and I am thrilled to find this local "gem." My BF and I came here for lunch today. Great food, excellent service, reasonable price, beautiful view, I will definitely will be coming back. It is so worth checking out. read more

Well worth making a reservation for lunch or brunch. The grounds are gorgeous and the veranda has a great view of the lawns, gardens, and water features. Food is upscale fair. read more

Beautiful grounds, excellent (gluten free friendly) food and a wonderful waitstaff. My family and I went there for lunch and were unsure of what to expect. First of all, we never had to ask for our drinks to be refilled because they were kept full the entire meal. I had the Traditional Cobb Salad and I was impressed. The veggies were so fresh and the meat was quality. I have Celiac's Disease and the staff was so careful about everything they served me. They now have a Gluten-free menu!! My family's favorite lunch item was the Bruschetta. (Not gf) We finished our meal with the vanilla bean ice cream and fresh berries. Not too sweet, just tasty. During our meal we were visited by the owner and his son at our table to make sure our meal was to our satisfaction. It was really cool. Then we decided to tour the on-site gardens. It was filled with so many different and unique trees and plants. The waterfalls took it to another level. The relaxing walk was a great end to a wonderful afternoon. We will be back! read more

We went to brunch at the Veranda and it was absolutely disgusting. The service was terrible as well. I had the Wellington Benedict and instead of poached eggs, they more resembled hard boiled eggs. My mother ordered the quiche and it was just a bowl of scrambled eggs with some vegetables in it and a pastry puff on top. The wine was warm, the mimosas were warm and the coffee was cold. Never again. read more

This place is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic!! It is worth the drive into Falbrook to have lunch and take a walk around the grounds. read more

I had the opportunity to return just before Christmas for a second lunch visit to the Grand Tradition's Veranda Restaurant. The weather was a little overcast, but the veranda was very comfy with their patio heaters. We enjoyed the hummus appetizer which included three different types. I am not usually a fan of hummus, but these were very flavorful. I ordered the club sandwich which was loaded with meat. It was a meal and a half, so good. Looking over the various plates ordered by the rest of the family, they looked so appetizing, a feast for the eyes. The fresh flower on each plate was so pretty. Once again I did not hear any complaints, just lots of satisfaction. The desserts were definitely worth trying, though you may need to share after the large portions at lunch. A yummy lunch time! The view is always spectacular and the time was soooo relaxing. It is truly a "must experience" when in Fallbrook. Don't miss the chance. read more

Excellent food, amazing setting, polite and efficient waitstaff!! Maintaining the Grand Tradition's standard of excellence!!

Husband and I just had lunch there for the first time, they are only open for lunch and reservations are required. The food was excellent! The menu was light and very reasonable. They start you off with a small tray of fresh veggies and dill dressing, complimentary. Our starter dish was Hummus, 3 small scoops of 3 different varieties with fresh Asiago cheese bread toasts, good, a little flavorless, but good. My husband ordered their Grilled chicken sandwich which he choose a side of fresh fruit, and a caesar salad. He said it was the best chicken sandwich he has had. I ordered the Chicken Caesar salad, lettuce was very fresh and crisp, croutons were delish and the dressing to die for. Service was EXCELLENT! Place was SUPER clean. Afterwards you can take a garden tour for an additional fee. The views are fantastic. This place is only open for lunch 7 days a week and seating is limited, I think they had 10 tables that would accomodate 70 people? And its all set on the rear Veranda. Highly recommend trying or if you have out of town guests it would be the BEST place in Fallbrook to take them too, we certainly will, since Fallbrook is lacking some good restaurants. read more

Had the pleasure of dining at The Veranda for lunch with some girlfriends. It was the perfect day, cool, sunny, and clear. Reservations are a must as it fills up quickly, and there are about a dozen tables. The first thing you notice is how peaceful and beautiful your surroundings are. It's kind of like you have a slice of paradise in your own backyard. I LOVE that they offer crudites and yummy dill dressing vs. bread for a complimentary snack. I ordered an Arnold Palmer to drink, and it's made with fresh-squeezed lemonade. If you're not up for tea or soda, they also offer some great wines, and beer. For lunch, I ordered the spinach salad with berries, pecans, and feta cheese with grilled chicken. It was fresh and delicious, and the dressing on the side is really good! My friends ordered the portabello mushroom burger, and wedge salad with grilled chicken, and they were raving about their food. I love the fact that the chicken is served warm, and not chilled. For dessert, we ordered the flourless chocolate cake with raspberries, and it was to die for! My idea of the perfect chocolate fix for sure! The service was excellent. All of the staff were very attentive, friendly, and made sure we all had what we needed at all times. This is a wonderful spot for lunch with friends, family, or a great place to take a date. I highly recommend this establishment, it's fantastic!! read more

After visiting the Myrtle Creek gardens today (loved it & reviewed) we were hungry and of course we yelped! This place popped up so we decided to give it a try. I'm going to try to be very careful about my wording. We parked and were amazed at how beautiful it was. We began to walk up and a lady who was standing at the front, which looked like a valet stand, gave us this look. We immediately felt uncomfortable and out of place. She proceeded to ask us if we were looking for something... NOT can she help us... But if we were looking for something; as if we were lost. Seriously?! Then she tells us it's reservations only, which is fine, I must have over looked that but her tone wasn't pleasant. Needless to say we left. I gave it 2 stars because it is a restaurant and I can't fully review it without tasting the food.... Which I won't be able to... since I won't return to this place. My advice to go on a day that you are not casually dressed visiting the town because they will make you feel out of place. read more

Wonderful lunch on the veranda overlooking the beautiful grounds of Grand Tradition. Though elegant, the place is not stuffy. Staff members were friendly, helpful, and we had a great morning. The food was delicious, great quality, perfect temperature, all the details taken care of. This is the place for a wedding, reception, nice event, and the restaurant is a good place for ladies lunch, baby showers, birthday celebrations, etc. The environment reminds me of the Deep South without the negatives (bugs, prejudice, humidity). Excellent photo opportunities. read more

Great lunch selection, beautiful scenery,lovely gardens, be sure to make reservations!

The experience was spectacular and staff was phenomenal! It was launch in Paradise. This was one of those experiences that are so impressive it turned into an event I want to share with all my friends. However I don't want this to be culinary based review. I had the Cobb salad and have had better,( but it was ok). The rest of my party had sandwiches or soup with half a sandwich. Every one stated it was good. There was a good choice of sparkling wines and wines. read more

Poor service, staff and owners give attitude. We won't return. The food was good and grounds beautiful.

My wife and I have been there 3 times for lunch and have enjoyed everything we have had. My wife's favorite is the grilled chicken sandwich and I enjoy the chicken caesar or the BLT. They have a small but very good wine list of wine by the glass. I am partial to the Fallbrook winery that they serve. Service can be a little slow, but the view of the grounds are so wonderful, we don't seem to mind. read more

Just had a fabulous lunch at The Veranda with my girlfriend. It was a perfect weather day and the view was beautiful. Had the BLTA sandwich, which was delicious! Maple bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato on hearty whole-grain bread, with a tasty pea salad side. Split a Meyer lemon cake dessert that was light and scrumptious! We took the walk in the gardens afterwards and thoroughly enjoyed it! Well worth the small extra fee. They have done an amazing job of creating lush, peaceful, exotic gardens with spectacular waterfalls all around. I highly recommend this new restaurant and am so glad to have this beautiful resource in Fallbrook. read more

There isn't a better choice when wanting to wine and dine a business partner or celebrate an occasion, The Veranda Restaurant is a fine choice for any meal. I've had the opportunity to dine three times, all of which were excellent experiences. Personal and attentive service, amazing views and delicious food make The Veranda my first choice. read more
