We had a family reunion dinner here for 8 and had a wonderful time. We came for the early bird menu 3-7pm - such a deal. Fantastic set of appetizers, entrees, and desserts to choose from. The porterhouse chop was excellent. Our waiter Gregory made us feel very welcome and handled our large group expertly. Thanks so much! A wonderful dinner in a beautiful atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back the next time we’re in town.

Extensive wines and drink menu. Very good Greek and American faire during their brunch. Service was delightful, as was the venue. The serving size could have been bigger for some dishes, but the food was great

Veranda has become “our place”. Over the past few years, everything we love about it has made this happen for us and for friends we’ve brought here. The staff is professional in the best ways, describing their menu choices with care and full knowledge of how the food is prepared. And the food is just delicious and consistently terrific. The dining room is warm and quiet- that’s rare and much appreciated. From the first welcome at the door, to the last sip of espresso at the end, the experience is just so nourishing. Well done, Veranda, Bravi!!

Fantastic restaurants space both indoor and out. Greg, our waiter could not have been more courteous and giving great service. The food is very meticulously prepared and the taste is absolutely delicious. Definitely under utilized in the neighborhood but what a a find

This restaurant is consistently good! The food is delicious. The atmosphere is private - perfect for business or leisure. The service is excellent. I have attended parties here (birthday parties, baby showers, etc) and I have had business lunches and meals with friends. They knock it out of the park every time. I highly recommend it.

Welcoming, spacious Greek brunch restaurant. Excellent service with friendly waiters. Drinks: Peach mojito is sweet and refreshing with a little alcohol 8/10 Bloody Mary is strong and includes some veggies and olives 9/10 Raspberry mojito is lightly sweet 7/10 Appetizers: Zucchini chips are the perfect starter with enough for the table 8/10 Octopus is a few slices but the aged balsamic is tasty 7/10 Tuna tartare is savory 8/10 Fried calamari is standard 7/10 Main Courses: Crab cake burger had good texture but lacking depth of flavor maybe needs some hollandaise sauce 7/10 Desserts: Galaktobureko 7/10 it's made like an empanada 🥟 it's decent but not the best. Custard was creamy but light. Shell was flaky. Cheesecake 7/10 dense, heavy cheesecake Chocolate cake with ice cream 8/10 basic but it works well

Celebrated Valentine’s Day here. They have only Valentine’s Day menu for $85 per person. I was upset at the very beginning because I expected order dishes my own but then we can only choose main course from a set menu. However, after enjoying the service here, I think $85 was still valuable. It contains one appetizer, one main course and one dessert. The service was really good here, staffs were caring and polite. Appetizer we choose salad and Coconut Shrimp. I really recommend the Coconut Shrimp. The Shrimp was giant and very crispy. Only 3 shrimps per dish but I think it’s still good portion for appetizer. Main course we choose steak and Scollop Risotto. The steak was tender, which was out of my expect. Risotto was also above average. We were mostly full on the half way of main course, since they also provided free bread. Dessert we choose Chocolate Lava Cake and Cheese Cake. Both taste really good! And we packed the left over home. Overall I had a good experience celebrating Valentine’s Day here. ———————————— 店名：Veranda Restaurant & Cafe 208-01 Northern Blvd Bayside, NY 11361 United States

This review is about a week late but I couldn't miss the chance to say thank you! we celebrated my dad's 70th at Veranda planning was fairly last minute and from the moment I called to the day of the dinner they were so awesome and accommodating. We reserved the wine room with Nick he was AMAZING. Truly a man of service I felt so welcomed and he took care of everything beforehand. On the day of he was also there and our waitress was great and patient as well. Food was great we ordered a bunch and did it family style. Had the Sangria pitchers for drinks everyone said they were so good and nice and strong. Incredible value and experience booking with Veranda. Thank you so much we will be back.

11-3-24 Re: brunch Veranda has quickly become one of our favorite local spots. It's truly a hidden gem, as we've never seen it packed during Sunday brunch. We hope it stays that way, given the trend of Asian restaurants taking over closed businesses in the area. While the brunch menu isn't extensive, the quality is top-notch. Every dish we've tried has been consistently delicious. The frittata is a standout, and the lemon ricotta pancakes are simply divine. Even the bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy and not greasy at all. The service is equally impressive. The white tablecloths and uniformed servers create a refined atmosphere, and the attentive staff ensures that your coffee and water are always full. No need to flag them down! Did I mention, inexpensive as well? You can’t go wrong. Overall, Veranda offers a delightful brunch experience that's worth seeking out. A small suggestion for improvement: It might be helpful to tone down the strong perfume worn by some of the staff, as it can be bothersome for sensitive customers. Update- Brought my son who is visiting for the weekend. There's a big party going on and yet stellar service remained. They even accommodated us when they saw my husband and son were watching football on their phones. They moved us to a table closer to the television and changed the chancel to the game we were watching. Yes, in spite of a big party going on, they paid attention to us. We were very happy with the service and always felt the VIP treatment. Of course, we always take advantage of their Fix Pre Menu again . The soup for the day includes pumpkin soup which imo was delicious. My husband had the chicken soup and he said a bit on the salty side otherwise it was good. So request less salt if you are considering to order the chicken soup. Previous review- What not to like? Great atmosphere, clean, good food and excellent service. We met with friends and requested for an outdoor seating . It was perfect.... we did the fix pre and was the perfect decision. A lot of selections to choose from. Grilled or pan seared branzinos with fresh grilled vegetables were amazing. Same with their tuna piccata pasta. The recommended red wine was very good too. I love the virgin passion fruit mojito. Gregory , our server was awesome. Everyone ordered the baklava for their dessert and I opted for the Greek yogurt mousse ... which was delicious. It wasn't sour at all . So highly recommended. Great experience. If you will order the Greek coffee, it wasn't the same as my friends expected. They said it was weak for their taste . I am not a Greek coffee connoisseur so I can't speak for them. This was my second time at Veranda. I enjoyed their weekend brunch and decided to come back for dinner. I wasn't disappointed.
