Seriously, I enjoy everything about this restaurant except the food. It has a lovely, light space and the tables are arranged in a way that a quiet conversation can be quite private. The staff are wonderful. The food, however is a let-down. I dined there durng lunch three times before Christmas 2016 over a five week period. The menu was pretty static (same limited menu offered on each of the three occasions). The first lunch wasn't too bad but the last two were awful. This was because the food was way over-salted. The second time the lettuce in the salad was so salty as to render it inedible. All the food was far too salty. And I am not a "no salt freak". The third time I had hoped to shore...
I've been coming to Verandah for years as it is conveniently situated close to my former work and my current workplace. It's a great place to catch up with friends. The setting is casual and very busy so make sure you book a table or come early to snatch a seat. The menu is constantly changing but they have weekly specials which is great for those conscious of money. Lately the menu hasn't been up to scratch but the steak and chicken schnitzels are always the best!
here's a different reason to come into this place for lunch. You've got $13 Rumps on a Monday, $12 Chicken Schnitzel on a Tuesday. In both cases - the deal breaker for me is the control over how much gravy i can whack on to my plate and whether I want it anywhere near my chips. They leave it all to you with the huge barrel full of it next to the cutlery!!! Would you like a side of steak with your gravy?
Business lunch today. Menu looks good. Initial service positive but the oven baked fish was not cooked through at all. About half the fish was still frozen. What was just as upsetting was the reaction: "Oops, Sorry" "Chef told" . The bill was then presented with the full cost of the inedible fish included, despite half of it being sent back never to be seen again. At least they could have removed that plate from the large bill.

MEH! The main thing that this place went is that it has a nice balcony for the indoor / outdoor / outdoor balcony that allows a group with some smokers and some non-smokers without the smokers are equipped without the smokers are streaked out And withdraw on the ground floor and retire on the roadside in the rest of the rest. Drinks and bar food in the evening are nothing remarkable, but also badly nothing to look at

Unfeated bar with greasy food served by the safe staff. Completely unobtrusive ambience with the usual poker machines and the bare CBD business vibe. The service was unhappy and I really can not recommend that. We are sorry.
Came for lunch in the bar. It was nice and cheerful. I had the chicken salad, but I should have had the good old-fashioned chicken-Schnoke. Good atmosphere and great for friday companies.

CBD is usually quite staid, however had a great time and food on a Monday night thanks to Mary Lou and Mikey! Quirky small bar feel in service but space to enjoy the verandah.
Was never a big fan when this place was popular 15 years ago Still not a fan today.
The staff are great and friendly, it's just the smoking section on
