| - I enjoyed our dinner here. I've seen some of the other reviews complaining about service, but ours was outstanding. Everyone was polite, we were checked on frequently, and we didn't have to wait for our food. Great staff!
We came here on a Friday, so of course we tried the fish fry! My wife had the beer-battered cod and I tried the pan-seared walleye. The batter on the cod was very thick, but I was told it was a good dish. Not my thing, but if you love batter go for it.
The walleye was excellent. Walleye is easy to dry out. It's thin and fairly delicate. Most people fry it in batter to preserve the juices inside. The Verona Woods pan-fries theirs. The fact that it was not over cooked was not lost on me. That's not the easiest thing to do, and many places I've been to have done way worse. The spices on the fillet were tasty as well.
We also had their bruschetta platter, with a classic slice and a couple variants on one plate. The toasted bread was perfect, and the toppings very tasty.
The cole slaw side could have been a little less bland, and we would have preferred the glazed carrots to be cooked a little longer. Not terrible, but some room for improvement. I fancy myself a connoisseur of fine cole slaw, so it's pretty tough to impress me in that category.
I've got high hopes for this place. Let's face it. Verona is a food desert. There's a couple decent places, a massive nasty fast food row, and not much else. I'll be back to The Verona Woods. If the experience is similar to what we just had, I might even become a regular.
