    I want to give a big shout out to Fatima and the entire team at Vera for such an amazing brunch…read moreexperience today. My sister booked the reservation, but didn't verify she had it for the right date so to our surprise we showed up and we're not promised the seat. Fatima and her team didn't want to see us, disappointed, especially on Mother's Day, so they rearrange things and made it work so that our party of four could enjoy Mother's Day brunch. I was pleasantly surprised at how affordable the drinks and food was, but it doesn't sacrifice flavor or thoughtfulness. The food was amazing as well as the welcome shooters. And the entertainment! I had no idea what to expect but it blew me out of the water. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and we danced and danced and danced. I often believe the DC food scene falls flat, but that was not the case with Vera at all! I am so excited that I went, and I am excited to come back one day.

Didn't quite hit the same. The branzino was cooked well technically, but lacked the flavor to back it up but beautiful execution, underwhelming payoff. The lamb chops however were an absolute win! and saved the protein category entirely. Rice was good but arrived cold, which for a large party is understandable but still worth noting. Speaking of large party, we came ten deep, sat together upstairs, and the service genuinely impressed me. Everything came out timely, our server stayed attentive throughout and got orders right across the board. For a table of ten that's no small feat. The upstairs space is a great reminder of why this place draws people in , the decor is lovely from every angle, thoughtfully put together and worth appreciating. The experience wasn't a disappointment, just an adjustment in expectations. I'm still open to returning specifically eyeing the brunch experience to see if that format brings a different energy. Vera Cocina still has potential. Just needs to get back to what made the first impression so strong.
