| - This review makes me very sad. My husband has been a Vero lover for a long time and he used to go to lunch there when he worked on that side of town. Over the years, we've had wonderful experiences there but after this weekend, sadly we are done. We had planned to take friends there for a holiday dinner over the weekend. We had been telling them how amazing Vero was & couldn't wait to share. We arrived at 5:08, which according to all Vero sources, was 8 minutes after they opened. There was one table seated we could see when we arrived. We were told a 45 minute wait due to all the large party reservations for that night. Husband was ready to go some place else at that point, but I stupidly decided we should wait. Had a couple of drinks at a bar next door, returned 40 minutes later. At this point, a table of 4 was seated at a table that was empty when we arrived and we were then told there was an additional 20 minute wait. When we came back 20 minutes later, still no table. Waited an additional 15 & were finally seated. At this point, we were all pretty annoyed, we did receive two glasses of comped wine for our trouble which was nice. We were just happy at this point to be seated & were preparing for our awesome pizza. So. The food. Our apps were fantastic. Garlic bread was good, burrata was awesome. Then the disappointment. The pizza. The pizza that we loved & touted to our friends as the best thing ever was surprisingly underdone. One member of our party had eggs on their pie that were seriously underdone to the point it made my stomach turn. When it was all said & done, we had a very expensive check & the majority of it was spent on awful pizza. We could have sent it all back, but after waiting over an hour just to be seated, we didn't have anymore patience in us. To sum it up, horrible organization of large party reservations versus walk ins & a very expensive check for underdone pizza. A special holiday dinner with friends ended up being a pretty lousy experience.
