| - My husband and I went to La Veranda last night for dinner to celebrate Valentines a day early. The dinner started off ok - our servers were attentive and friendly. Nice bottle of wine, ok appetizers. My husband ordered veal marsala for his main, and I ordered the Gnoochi Gargonzolo. The veal was completely tasteless, to the point where he sent it back. Having worked in kitchens, he rarely does that. My gnocchi was ok, but not great and really salty. What completely killed our experience is that someone (manager, host, who knows) came over after the veal had been taken back, sat ON the table beside us, and proceeded to tell us that the veal was fine. And that we don't know what marsala tastes like (we've made it ourselves and had it at many Italian restaurants) And maybe it's just not matching well with our Amarone. Red wine and Marsala don't mix? Interesting. He was extremely rude, and after that we couldn't get out of there fast enough.
We had high hopes for this little restaurant, but were very disappointed. We won't be returning.
