I am very happy that Fitchburg has a restaurant in place for the old continental but I think it still needs some work. I see a lot of positive reviews and I wish mine could be but it is not. Veranda = Ok
I seriously was expecting more especially on taste. I will say the service was excellent and the outdoor patio is very nice but the food to me was bland and boring.
The bruchettas we just average and the couple that we had just lacked something to me. We also had the chorizo,shrimp and jalapeno flat bread and that has zero taste at all. Honestly they must use the weakest peppers in the world.
Finally I had some seared scallops and wow was I disappointed. First off I only get three tiny scallops and they did taste decent but I only got three. They were served over a lot of spinach. Now, if I was Popeye, that would be great but I am the guy who wants scallops and I only got three.
I am not ruling Veranda out because I did have a good experience and the food was not bad but it just lacks flavor. I will try again sometime and maybe my opinion will change.
