| - I went here for my birthday recently, which happened to fall on a Wednesday. We decided to have a nice dinner before heading to see a show at Jubilee.
Apparently on Wednesdays, if you order a bottle of wine (any wine, cheap or pricey), you get a dozen oysters free. We decided to not bother with the wine and just get dinner, as we wanted to be out of there in a reasonable amount of time. The decor of the place is really nice. It reminds me of those chic places in Montreal (oh how I miss thee..).
I ordered the lamb, and it was quite delicious. Soft, tasty and falling off the bone. Really quite good. I liked the atmosphere too, and at the end of the meal, the waiter gave us some little chocolates.
Speaking of waiter, that is my only caveat. It looked like he was the only one serving the area where I was sitting - and quite frankly, I was not very impressed. He was overly formal, too abrupt, very cold, and a tad bit distracted. I like my waiter to talk to me for a second, smile when taking my order, and atleast give me the time of day, especially when I'm spending almost a fair amount on my meal. But no luck here at Vero. maybe he was overwhelmed by the number of customers he had, or he thinks doing tricks with the napkin is going to be enough to win me over.. but not so, unfortunately.
I will go here for lunch, because it is $15, but perhaps not for dinner, unless I want the oysters for free. The food was great, but the experience was lacking due to the service.
