I love the hidden element of this place! The vibe and atmosphere here are phenomenal. They have a regularly rotating menu as most establishments of fine dining do, but their fresh take on American classics is out of this world! They’re doing things with food that I haven’t tasted anywhere else. I’m a big foodie and can usually guess what’s in my food like different seasonings, herbs, veggies, etc. The Verse had me stumped! Their flavor profiles and combinations are truly unique and exciting. Hats off to you, Verse, for a job extremely well done.

First time at Verse after hearing about it from friends. We had an incredible dinner. I cannot say enough great things about the food, service, and the atmosphere. Our server Bailee really made our evening perfect.

The food, the acoustics, and the service = amazing. Marcus was incredibly attentive and was able to give us great advice. We asked for his opinion on the menu and he broke down his favorites by page and what we were looking for. Ultimately everything was delicious. We got the milk bread (get it!) And the spread that came with it was to die for. My French toast dessert was splendid and topped the meal off perfectly. 12/10 highly recommend!

Loved the vibe and food here. They had live and not live music alternating in a dark room with the bar lit up. Our service from Bailey was amazing. We never felt left alone and each dish was explained to us, which as foodies, we definitely appreciated. Kale sprouts and the New York strip were standouts, for sides, definitely try their oyster mushrooms – they cook them very uniquely. And don’t skip dessert! The chocolate & caramel with tapioca flour is phenomenal. Hope to return again.

High-end fancy place with great food, great drinks, and live music from some very well-known artists. We sat at the bar, and Jared took care of us. The food was delicious, and it went well with one of the best old-fashioned(Call from Tokyo) I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place.

Great atmosphere, great food. They were out of a few things that we woulda loved to try, but the New York Strip did not disappoint! Would come back!

This was a decent spot to visit for the atmosphere. They had a Cuban band playing, but the band would only play one song and then they’d switch to pre-recorded music off of the radio. The mixed drinks were more on the sour side, so not especially tasty and the pork chop dish my partner ordered was great, while the linguine I ordered was just okay. Our server seemed nice enough, but we weren’t greeted for 5-10 minutes after being seated. The most attentive/prompt they were was at the end of the meal when they were taking our money for payment. Overall, I would not look forward to coming back here again.

The food and service were both very well done. The acoustics are special. They use active noise cancellation, so you hear the music and your dining companion, but we didn’t hear anything from the tables next to us. We loved everything we ordered from drinks to appetizers to main course and dessert.

Just so amazing. You get a concert with your beautiful meal. Be prepared to speak up. Be prepared for big sounds.
