    My siters and nieces met at Veranda on a Sunday afternoon for a lunch get together. We had an excellent time. There were 5 of us total and the setting was beautiful. It was not crowded and we had plenty of time to chat and eat appetizers before eating lunch. We lingered afterward and we did not feel pressured at all to move from the table. Our server was attentive and helpful. The food pricing was on the high side; resort prices as expected, but it was very good, and the setting and service was excellent. This was a special occasion lunch, and it was a great place to celebrate.

    Always a winner for early apps or meal. Craft cocktails or a nice glass of wine.

    Still quite a pleasant place to eat: the ambience is hard to beat, looking out over the golf course. Our food was good, and the service excellent. Unfortunately, Veranda continues to become even more and more exhoritantly expensive: a lobster roll, club sandwich, and two drinks (one alcoholic, the other not) for just over $100 for lunch was more than a bit pricey. Hard to recommend it for a "normal" meal.

    We love coming to Rancho Bernardo Inn and the Veranda and Avant are both great food and drink options when we stay.

    Our server, Brian, was outstanding, very professional, polite, and took care of all little details. We were a party of four and we all had sandwiches, no drinks, only water, and the bill came to $115.00 before tip. The French Fries were GREAT! We dined outside, the weather was beautiful, and we had a delightful party. Overall, pricey, but will worth the money.
