La Veranda Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Plantation

may be because it was the weekend after New years Eve, but it was a Saturday night, and it was DEAD... The drinks my friend and ordered were WEAK. andxwhen I asked why I was offered an additional shot for $10. and it was half the size of a real regulations shot... laughable, and sad 😔 we had the saltfish on breadfruit and tostones, saltfish was way too salty, I can't remember what entree I ordered now because it was so underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, it tastes okay, but obviously, it was just a run of the mill... oh yes, I remember now it was grilled lambchops.. it took forever to come out and my friends' food was cold when it arrived because they brought them out together. BUT THE DRINKS 🍸 SOOO WRONG to charge top-tier prices when you're only getting bottom shelf stuff. I will say the DJ was on 🔥! he was spinning all the good stuff. So, bottom line is: get your eats and drink on someplace else and then go there for the music 🎶 on Saturday night. The server claims she never saw Saturday night, so dead before, and attributed it to the post holiday doldrums. She also said karaoke night is a good night, I think...

I just returned home from a party here and had a good time. The food was amazing, bar staff amazing, music was great, and the hostess, lady with short cut (Not sure of her name) made the experience less than 5 stars; which is unfortunate. She was rude throughout the night and made absolutely no sense why certain tables couldn’t be occupied if it was empty for the night and our party was spending good money on a nice meal to only be policed by the table police. She lacked the ability to speak to people with respect. I did my best to enjoy my lobster despite being irritated by her lack of customer service and unprofessional behavior.

Michelle the owner is a sweet lady and has a great establishment. However, the hostess working the night of party demonstrated unsatisfactory behavior. It’s unfortunate that Michelle is being represented by this lady as a first and last impression. Therefore, ruined the opportunity to receive 5 stars. I will return another night to see if another hostess has more respect and communicative skills. Good help is...

Another gem hiding right under our noses. We went for Thursday night karaoke and what a wonderful time we had. Their menu is designed for every palate. I had the salted fish tostones and it was the perfect blend of seasoning and spices. I’m not a fan of spicy food, but this dish took me to the edge of spicy and no further. The delicate balance of spice, fish and vegetables blended together in one perfect harmonious dish. Others at my table loved their food as well. As we went there for karaoke, we all had a great time. The other guests were so welcoming and fun. It felt like a party on a random Thursday night. We all cheered each other on and filled in gaps when we forgot the lyrics. When we left the other guests said bye and they’d see us soon. The owners Paul & Michelle are wonderful people. They’re very hands on and very mindful of the overall guest experience. I can’t wait to go back. Thanks...
