Veritas Gateway to Food & Wine Veritas didn’t start as a restaurant. The Stitt family first conceived it as a place in West County where people of similar mindset could gather. People who cared deeply about food and wine. People who viewed the dinner table as a gathering place that you shared with friends and family. It was to be a place to shop, to learn, to discuss, and yes to eat. But a restaurant? No.
But from the start the concept took on a life of its own. A kitchen was added. Then the weekly wine bars began. Thursdays extended to Fridays and then to Saturdays and more new friends kept coming. And suddenly we ended up as one of West County’s best loved restaurants. Yes.
Now 13 years later, Veritas is a very different place.
Open kitchen featuring fine New American eats & spirits in a relaxed setting, plus a wine store. Based on 144 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price

After reading many good reviews, I had high hopes for Veritas, which proclaims “Fine Dining” on its website. But, after dining there, I can only assume those reviews were written in “vino veritas”, Latin for telling the truth while inebriated.

The foods and atmosphere are wonderfully combined that felt like home. We will definitely come back.

I cannot believe we have lived just down the street from this place for 10 years and have never tried it. I’ve noticed some complaints in reviews about the atmosphere and decor, but these are the exact things we found charming about Veritas – it’s a very homey, unpretentious atmosphere. The food was unique and incredible. Every single thing we ordered was absolutely delicious (wish I’d taken pics), from the appetizers, both of our entrees, and the carrot cake dessert. The only complaint we had was that everything took so long (but this was actually also nice because it extended our date night dinner for longer than it otherwise would have been). I think there was probably only one waiter serving the entire dining room, but she was working very hard and the owners were also helping out where they could. We will definitely be returning!

I’ve had some good (and some wonderful) experiences here over the years but things are lacking lately. My mistake for ordering a cocktail at a wine restaurant but my Manhattan was served over a ton of ice (not one cube but a lot of individual cubes). It sat on the bar window for 10 minutes watering down and tasted bad by the time I got it. Best part was they tried to overcharge me for the drink. No water refills either.

Two couples and longtime friends enjoyed a delightful and delicious dinner at Veritas on Sat, May 6, 2023. We arrived at 6 and left at 8:30 pm. Service, drinks & food were all outstanding. Atmosphere was perfect. We were given free cheese samples with drinks before dinner. Highly recommend. We will return soon.

This place is..odd. I would not put it in the fine dining category. The dishes are basic, comfort food but they try to elevate them- nothing wrong with that but I think they missed the mark. Food was either bland or over seasoned by an ingredient. The food came out slow. To get to the bathroom, you have to walk past their open-kitchen, and you can tell the sous chefs were lost, probably new or inexperienced. It kind of feels depressing in the restaurant and the place lost its direction.

We really loved this little gem! Located in a strip mall but with lots of family charm, the service and the food were beyond expectation. The rib eye was delicious and the seafood pasta was great, made with actual hand made spaghetti (quite spicy though so keep that I mind.)

Such an amazing dining experience. Food was phenomenal, drinks were spot on, and service (Adam) was engaging and on top of everything. Cannot recommend enough. You will not be disappointed. We will certainly be back.
