    We had a wonderful dinner last night. We ordered the nights’ special Filet au Pave…ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, perfectly grilled!! The Cappuccino Cheesecake was definitely worth the purchase even though we were full from the ribeye. Ramsey , the waiter, very professional and delightful to have as our server!!

    This place is a true gem. Classic atmosphere, incredible staff, and perfect food and drinks. Our waiter was incredible, every time I’ve gone they always are amazing. The food never ceases to amaze me! And the desserts!? Freddy is an angel straight from heaven, only an angel could make desserts as heavenly as him!

    Eine geschichtsträchtige Location mit vorzüglichem Service. Aufmerksame Bedienung und hervorragendem Essen. Gute Weinkarte. Der Innenhof zum draussen Essen ist unglaublich romantisch und lädt zum Feiern ein.

    Restaurant is lovely but very tight - so there is literally no individual conversations- you hear everything from the table next to you! The food is good but pricey. Dessert (pecan pie) had far too many nuts so its taste was mediocre at best. Wine by the glass - limited The veal piccata and chicken were both good. Overall value was ok - again very pricey - a better table perhaps would have allowed for a better experience.

    I chose the salmon dinner which was fine, not extraordinary, just fine. Presentation/plating was very attractive.

    We heard about The Veranda from friends, and decided to book our birthday dinner. The exterior of the home was impressive situated in the middle of downtown Fort Myers. The interior was amazing! Filled with pictures of years past. Wish we had more time to sit at the bar before our table was ready. A piano player was in the center of the house, where the music could be heard throughout. Windows overlooking the "veranda", garden and koi pond. Next time I will book an afternoon lunch in the shady veranda! Our server, Winston, made the birthday extra special. Thank you!

    We arrived 10 minutes early for our reservation.Requested a QUIET table which was being prepared. We were not seated for almost 30 minutes. They put us in The Bar behind the piano player possibly the noisiest location in the entire restaurant. When I queried the maitre d of my request for a quiet location I was informed the weather necessitated others to be seated in our place and it was THE ONLY table unless I wanted to wait ! I have been here many times and this attitude at such a fine establishment is not acceptable.
