The verona woods deserves the 3.5 stars it has.
Location: new construction. Very nice on the inside. Lots of nooks. 5/5
Service: it seems like from the reviews service can be hit or miss. The feeling I got there was it may have overbearing management that instead of fostering a team, rules with an iron fist. We had good service. Our server seemed a bit inexperienced but was very friendly and came by several times. Perhaps spending time/$ for training might help. 4/5
Food (what counts): here they fell flat big time. Friday cod fish fry was quite overcooked. The garlic potatoes were glue-like. The farrow grain cake dish was ok. I will say it was well balanced; having separate components that were sweet, salty, and acidic. The problem was that the cake itself was very bland and one note. The one good part was the clam chowder. 2/5
It's a new restaurant with an inexperienced staff and a chef that sent out food he shouldn't have. Hopefully they will get better. They have potential but not a place I would return to unless I learned of major changes (i.e. new chef).
