First time dining here for dinner and had a lovely experience. Friendly staff and food came out quick for a busy Valentine's Day dinner service. I'd recommend every item we ordered but was especially impressed with the pan-seared Amish chicken breast. We'll be back to try some new dishes when they rotate their menu next and hopefully take advantage of that big outdoor patio. Highly recommend!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

🍻Verbena Still Delivers for Our Anniversary❣️ We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at Verbena (our fourth visit since they opened), hoping it would be special—and it more than lived up to expectations. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance, service, and flavors reminded us why this place has become one of our favorites. We started with the dinner rolls (soft, warm, served with whipped honey butter) and then moved on to the fish of the day and the pan-seared trout—both beautifully executed, fresh, and satisfying. The trout, especially, struck the perfect balance of texture and seasoning. 🤤 What makes Verbena so compelling is its seasonally driven contemporary menu, its focus on fresh seafood and elevated American cuisine, along with a thoughtful wine list and craft cocktails. Their staff always impress: friendly, informed, and truly invested in making your evening memorable. Pros 👍 • Excellent consistency: every visit feels reliable and elevated • Fantastic seafood & trout dishes • Dinner rolls are a standout and must-order • Warm, knowledgeable service & inviting atmosphere • Strong cocktail & wine program, and scenic patio seating  Cons 👎 • Can get quite busy, so reservations are wise • Noise level can rise when the restaurant is full (ask for a quieter table) • Some menu items are seasonal—don’t assume every favorite is available every night 🌟Pro tips: • Start with the Parker House rolls—they set a wonderful tone for the meal.  • Request a table on the patio or near windows for a more relaxed ambiance • Ask your server about the fish of the day—that’s where chef creativity often shines • For special occasions, mention it! They often add little touches (we experienced this subtly on our anniversary) Dining at Verbena reminded us that some experiences only grow richer with time—and here, excellence is never taken for granted. 🥰

Verbena was amazing!! The food and the atmosphere was immaculate. I ordered the filet and potatoes and the flavor was SO good.
