    Wonderful brunch experience Service and food were excellent , the grounds are amazing to walk around after you are done eating .

    Hot honey fried chicken sandwich and Smokehouse Burger with onion rings and fries

    Lovely place. Whenever I can get a reservation around lunch time I try and book this place. It's so beautiful to have lunch here and walk around the gardens. Already made reservations for next month!

    Fried mushrooms with a chipotle sauce!

    Three of my friends and I spent an early afternoon at the Veranda Restaurant celebrating my friend's birthday! The atmosphere was heavenly, the food delicious and the service top notch!

    Married under that gazebo 20yrs ago, visited for brunch this weekend.

    Veranda didn't exist when my wife and I got married at Grand Tradition back in 2004. Decided to enjoy a brunch at Veranda on the weekend of our 20th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. Obviously, the scenery was fantastic. Sitting on the back porch of the main facility, looking over the heart shaped lake and gazebo where we said our vows 20yrs ago. Good was also great. My wife ordered the French toast, crispy yet soft bread with a creamy marscapone and blueberries. I ordered the burger even though it was only 10a. The homemade chips were delicious and the bbq sauce and bacon combo on the burger was the perfect of salty and sweet. Staff was friendly and professional, fast and responsive. Never felt pressure to hurry and they allowed us to enjoy our food and our walk down memory lane. Weather was perfect, staff was great (thanks Karina!), food was delicious and was priced very well! Highly recommend!

    I used to work here before they had this restaurant, and so of course I had to come back and try their food out and boy was I amazed and blown away!! It was all so good I was only able to get a picture of the dessert But everything was delicious! The dessert was the captain crunch bread pudding with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and captain crunch crumbs on top! It wasn't too sweet, and was full of flavor! Idk if they still have it, but I hope they do! The service was amazing' so attentive and friendly. It's mostly like a tea house vibe, fancy/casual. It's a gorgeous view from the balcony overlooking the heart lake. Definitely recommend it!

    Another great brunch at the Veranda at the Grand Tradition. We love this place! It really is a special treat. The manicured ground, friendly and attentive wait staff, and always delicious food. This place has the best of everything, and always amazes us at the end how reasonable the check is! We look forward to our next visit!

    Let me start off by saying, the setting and backdrop of this restaurant is nothing short of spectacular. Such a great place to take pictures and enjoy a serene walk around the pond. The staff was very friendly, even though we walked in and didn't have a reservation. Nor were we dressed for the occasion. I love that they give you a little starter plate of fresh fruit and veggies - it was so nice! We came for birthday dessert, and was not disappointed! Ordered the lemon berry mascarpone cake, and the flourless chocolate torte and wow... absolutely delicious. I couldn't decide which one I enjoyed more. The flourless chocolate cake was perfectly chocolate-y, and the lemon cake was super moist, the right amount of lemon-y, and not too sweet. We didn't order any other food items, but based on the tables around the burger and salads looked pretty tasty! If you're in the area, I would definitely check this place out!

    My friends and I came here in a Thursday around 11am and were thoroughly impressed. The grounds here are just lovely! The food was great and all 5 of us are eager to come back. Service was wonderful and prompt. The ambiance on the patio with the view of the lake was perfect. Would definitely recommend dining here!

    Accidentally found this place while looking for brunch restaurant, it was a good find! We got lucky to get reservation for a Sunday brunch. Food is good, the whipped mascarpone is amazing. Service is excellent! The view is amazing! It doesn't feel like you're in Fallbrook .

    Love The Veranda restaurant!! We had our wedding rehearsal brunch here and everything was amazing! The food really good and they were very accommodating with the time and number of people attending. Such a pretty view as well!

    This hidden gem in Fallbrook is our current favorite breakfast/brunch spot! We live in nearby Temecula and take the short trip to Fallbrook whenever we can. The food is very reasonably priced, and the beignets are a must! Of course, you can't talk about The Veranda without mentioning the 18 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. There is large lake, 7 gorgeous waterfalls, and flowers everywhere! So after you enjoy your meal, you can burn off a few of those calories by taking a stroll throughout the garden. The only downside? Tables are limited, so reservations are absolutely required. For popular times like Saturday morning at 11:00 am, you have to book weeks in advance!

    Is this place kid friendly?

    They didn't peg me as the bust out the high chair and pass around crayons and coloring paper, but the staff was delightful and treated my daughter and I well.

    Pet policy is still the same ? No dogs outside?

    Hi Summer! Yes, unfortunately we do not allow pets on property unless they are a certified service animal. Thank you for your inquiry. We hope to see you soon!

    So I've been here a few times now. In the past, I've tried their coffee, avocado toast (modified to…read morebe vegan), some of their vegan pastries, and an Italian soda. This most recent visit we had their vegan avocado cookies but I didn't love it. I'm not sure if it was too sweet or too salty. It just tasted a bit off. My kids both had a couple bites and didn't want anymore, which is odd for them to not eat sweets. We also had a tropical sunrise smoothie, which I tried and it was good. One of my daughter's liked hers and the other was picky and said it tasted different. Hubby and I ordered lattes with oat milk. Unfortunately, the Mexican mocha powder mix contains dairy since they use the LA Abuelita Brand of mix (owned by Nestle and not the true OG Mexican chocolate, check out Ibarra instead). So we ended up with vanilla and hazelnut lattes instead with oat milk. We took our goodies to go and service was friendly and quick. In the past, I recall more vegan pastries so I'm a bit disappointed that the only option was a cookie. Anyway, I would likely return if I'm meeting up with friends or in the area for a drink, but wishing they had more vegan friendly options. Plenty of seating inside. The door was a little funky to open/close. Bathrooms inside. Street parking or free parking in the lot across the street from the gem society. Check the website for hours because it seems Fallbrook has funky hours compared to typical businesses.

Service was great, and the atmosphere has mom-and-pop shop vibes with a very welcoming and clean feel. They also have both Spanish and Mexican style churros with dips you can get filled or on the side: caramel, dulce de leche, or chocolate. Both versions are tasty and come out fresh!! Don't skimp on the potato balls and sandwiches too. I just love this place. I also love that they have affogatos with a legit espresso machine. They use vanilla soft serve for their affogato, and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the traditional gelato aspect.

I love churros, and they make theirs fresh while you wait, which makes it so much better then getting a churro that's been sitting under a heater and drying out. They have several varieties of churros and different ways that you can order them. They also serve soft serve vanilla ice cream. We got the vanilla soft serve along with the bag of churros, which contains three of them. They came out piping hot and fresh, covered and that delicious cinnamon sugar. They were excellent and paired with the ice cream, it was a nice treat. The ice cream had a good texture but did taste a bit artificial, but i definitely still enjoyed it. Bottom line, of you look he churros this is your spot. They also serve food, which we unfortunately didn't get to try on this visit. They do have a small parking lot in the back and also some tables outside to sit on.
