“ We would highly recommend this place if you're looking for fine dining quality food and drinks, with excellent services at a reasonable price. We've had the fortune of having dined at some of the best restaurants in the world and Verveine does not disappoint. You can tell their focus here is serving quality, seasonal dishes without the fanfare and expensive add-ons. There are some high end hotels with fancy restaurants in the area, but we are so glad we chose Verveine instead - much better food at a fraction of their prices! Well done team. We look forward to coming back. ”
“ Absolutely stunning 4 course fish menu. Food and service were impeccable. Can't wait to go back again! ”
“ What a wonderful culinary experience, amazing flavour with perfectly paired wines from places you may never have had (Armenian Voskehat anyone?!) Friendly and knowledgeable staff and an intimate setting. Should definitely be on your list for a special occasion. Thank you ”
“ Just had a near perfect birthday lunch, here. Four course tasting menu with wine. Not cheap but truly memorable. Will return without doubt. Revisited the restaurant for our anniversary, this time for an evening meal. The food and service were once again excellent. A wonderful experience. ”
“ I have only given them a 5 star review simply because there wasn't any more stars available. We enjoyed everything from the moment we walked in. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the chefs coming round to serve was a nice touch. The food was exceptional. We went for the 6 course lunch. Though busy, we didn't feel rushed, and each table got the same level of high service. It's quite telling when all the overhead conversations are about the food. This is definitely a must visit/experience. ”
“ I cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Delicious innovative dishes in a lovely relaxed setting. My friend and I treated ourselves to the 8 course tasting menu which was actually more like 11 courses. The seafood is beautifully prepared and presented with many innovative touches. The flavours are unique and the ingredients are of the highest quality. I will definitely be back and look forward to trying the different seasonal fare. A highly creative team and the front of house staff are relaxed, welcoming and friendly. Fabulous experience. Cannot think of a better pick me up or treat to myself. ”
“ Wonderful 6 course tasting menu this evening. Food was exceptional and the staff friendly and attentive. Would definitely come back. ”
“ Walked past and looked through the window so many times but finally decided to give it a go for my dad's birthday! What an experience, I want to go back again asap! The restaurant is beautifully themed with art everywhere, the music is spot on and the whole vibe was tip top! The wonderful lady who served us (I'm sorry I didn't catch your name!) Was brilliant, gave us a description of every dish we were served and was super friendly and professional! We had the 3 course lunch, and the plates were so elegantly crafted, each taste complimenting the next. Some quirky and delicious entrees were served inbetween, making the experience even more enjoyable! I could write so much more, but couldn't recommend Vervein enough for a seafood adventure! Thank you David and Co for a brilliant lunch, can't wait to come back! ”
