I had a lovely experience here tonight, I’m staying in Hamilton for the night for a training course for work and I strolled down the street for dinner. Found this stunning Vietnamese place and instantly went over to have a look, there’s a menu out the very front so you can have a look at their food before going right in, and they had a wide variety of yummy Vietnamese dishes including some great vegetarian options!

I went in and felt very welcomed and greeted by the lovely front of house staff who gave me some options on some tables to sit at, being on my own I wanted to just be off to the side a bit and there was a perfect little table just over towards the edge that wasn’t tucked away but was nice to just sit at alone. It’s a beautiful restaurant though and looks like a great place to have a family dinner or for a birthday night out or date night!

I ordered a Strawberry Mojito and the Tofu and Spring Roll Vermicelli Salad, and I absolutely loved both of them, nice strong cocktail with real, fresh ingredients that was thrown together perfectly! And the food was so delicious and huge portions, I still had heaps left to take back to my hotel for later.

Last but certainly not least, thank you to Erika, Aya and Nydia for their absolutely wonderful service that made my night so lovely. Even though I was alone and chose to sit off to the side a bit, I felt so looked after and taken care of the entire time, thank you so much for giving the restaurant such a lovely vibe and being so friendly and kind. I saw a lady next to me clicking you over to her table because they decided they wanted dessert, they weren’t even waiting and you guys had just checked on them yet they impatiently clicked one of you over and whoever it was treated them just as lovely as anyone else there. Truly can’t credit you enough, I have worked in hospitality and nothing annoys me more than people like that, and you handled it all in your stride. You guys were lovely and friendly no matter what and looked after everyone with 5 star service, thank you! The man at the bar who took my payment was also lovely!

This was an absolutely wonderful restaurant with superb staff and amazing food and can’t recommend this venue highly enough. Thank you so much for the lovely night Verandah On Racecourse crew :)
