No one does a lox bagel better than Veranda! Incredible fresh fish & veggies, this is my go to brunch along with the house potatoes! The service is always outstanding, especially Louis, who is diligent and kind. The outdoor seating is ample with a great view of the course & fireplace that makes dinners feel cozy. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants! read more

Excellent service, high-quality salads, sandwiches and entrees. Beautiful view of the RB golf course, trees, and rolling hills. Great place for breakfast or lunch. read more

I stayed at the Rancho Bernard Inn, so we had lunch at the Veranda. We sat inside, but there is also outside seating! We shared the shrimp ceviche, Caesar Salad, and crab cake sandwich. The ceviche was a bit fishy, but everything else was pretty tasty. I enjoyed the sandwich, which had plenty of crab cake and came with yummy fries. I got a mocktail, which was refreshing. The Naked and Famous cocktail had a good amount of alcohol, so my friend love it haha. read more

Came here on a Friday morning for brunch and they were a little understaffed so it took awhile to be seated and our food to come out. But the hostess and waitress were very nice and doing their best. Ordered the chilaquiles with the waitress' recommendation and it was delicious. The tortilla chips were big and crunchy. The salsa verde had a nice little kick to it. It was a large dish! My friend ordered and liked her Shaved ham and eggs Benedict dish too. We sat outside because it was a nice day and there is a nice view of the golf course. Lots of patio heaters to keep us warm too. read more

Absolutely beautiful place! Food, ambiance, service was amazing! If you are looking for cozy place to enjoy with live music, go for it! Will go back again! read more

I never would've gone to this restaurant as it is a little out of the way from where I'm located. I am happy that my work had a dinner here and the food was amazing! My coworkers got Halibut that looked very good some others got skirt steak, looked quite quite good and one more got the scallops and I was fortunate enough to try a piece and they too were amazing! The table got a bottle of wine (the pessimist from Dau Vineyards in Paso Robles, CA) definitely recommend this bottle if you're a red wine fan. Finally finished the night off with an espresso martini. If you are a coffee fan I recommend this as it is not on the sweeter side which is a HUGE PLUS for me! read more

This restaurant is beautiful, it oversees the golf course and when the sun goes down, amazing... they also have live music. There was a man playing guitar and it was very cute. It would be a romantic date night option. It was a little pricey, but the food was delicious and the service was great. I had a whiskey sour, it was strong and perfect in taste. We had shared the lobster Mac n cheese appetizer and it was soooo good. I didn't include a picture of my short rib main dish, but it was so good I forgot to take a picture and I ate it right away! Would definitely go again for a date night, maybe after a day of golf! read more

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday and it was awful. It took them more than one hour to bring our food. We didn't see the server for one hour after he took our orders. We were seating there alone and it was so boring. I was so embarrassed how terrible their place was specially when you have a special occasion happening. Not going there anymore. The food was also very average comparing to what they charge. read more

We have been here a few times before Covid and went back for an outdoor dinner on a hot summer day. We had a reservation right before the sunset and it was a beautiful time of the day to enjoy the outdoor ambience. We enjoyed the soft pop live music. The menu felt limited. The entrees were mostly $30 - &40. I completely forgot about the price that comes with the ambiance! We were not sure if we wanted to go for $40 plate, so selected something more reasonable: burger and flat bread, and a glass of wine. The waiter was nice and attentive. The flat bread was so delicious with a great combination of the toppings: prosciutto, grapes, mozzarella and blue cheese. Totally gourmet tasting! My hubby had the burger and said it was a gourmet burger and tasted fantastic although it was not Angus. Can't wait to go back! Great place for good outdoor ambience, good food and wonderful memories... read more

This place is a hidden gem in my experience. It's got a great set up and in the evenings they play live music at times which adds to the ambiance. The RB Inn, where it's located, has been a draw in the local community for photos before dances and events by high school kids, and the staff if super accommodating and tolerant, which I think is a plus. The food options are exceptional and the service level is high quality, so I can definitely recommend it for evening get-togethers and lunch. read more

We've been here a few times over the years--most recently We had a wonderful breakfast/brunch here at Veranda Fireside Lounge. It was easy to get a reservation and then once we arrived we were promptly seated. Service was fast so we didn't have to sit and wait a long time to get our orders placed. The menu for breakfast is slightly limited (see photo) but I think they basically have something for everyone. Their outdoor seating area was also quite pleasant and you don't feel like you're crowded in with a lot of people since there's good spacing between tables. The food quality was solid and the portion sizes were substantial--we were full when we left. I ended up with the omelet the first time we went and the second visit I got the Loco Moco. Their prices have gone up over time but quality was still very good (newest menu photo July 2023). --TL;DR-- Pros: reservations are easy, good selections and great outdoor seating, service was good Cons: pricey, parking can be a pain sometimes, one person meeting us had to circle around a bunch of times waiting for a spot. Bottom Line: good outdoor setting for brunch, with some higher end priced items, overall enjoyed it! read more

Living in the area makes Veranda so convenient! It is our go to spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner! the ambiance is perfect situated near the course- views are amazing at sunset. We like seeing our usual waiter who is super! The lobster Mac and cheese and lobster roll are my personal faves. It's easy to get a table and can accommodate families and parties no problem. It's even better when they have live music and the fire going! read more

Had a great lunch here. Tried the Pear and Prosciutto Flatbread and Hugo Spritz. Both were delightful! Had to valet park since the parking lot was full. read more

For my wife and I, this has been one of our favorite places to go for a special, high quality meal in a beautiful outdoor setting. It is adjacent to the golf course, but the main attraction here is impeccable, delicious high quality food in one of the nicest restaurant outdoor patios we have been to. Recently, we went on Saturday, and noticed they have a brunch Saturday and Sunday now with many items to choose from. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were delicious. My wife had the Salmon Market Salad which she though was one of the best salads she has had in a long time. I have the lobster roll which came with tomato bisque. Though I have had better lobster rolls, it was still delicious and the combination with the creamy tomato bisque was superb. Service here is always top notch as well, and this time was no exception. Everyone who works there is always so attentive to anything you need. It was a breezy day and someone had turned on the fire pit but the heat was going all in our direction which was starting to make it uncomfortable briefly. Our server noticed this without us asking and offered to move us to any other open table, and we did and enjoyed the rest of the meal in comfort. I highly recommend this place for a special afternoon meal or special occasion especially on a beautiful day to enjoy the ambiance. read more

Came here for lunch on a spa day at the resort and really liked the place. Nice aesthetic with the view of the golf course on the side. Loved how it was actually outdoors and like a veranda! Guava Mango Refresher was beautiful! Husband and I were both surprised. Guava and mango flavor both came through and in the perfect balance. Market Salad was really fresh! We asked for dressing on the side and grilled chicken instead of salmon. Everything went perfectly well together! Candied walnut, blue cheese, all the berries were so perfect together. Also really appreciate how they plated everything with the ingredients. All separated out. Made it very pretty. California Avocado Toast was also very fancy! It was guac instead of smashed avocado, a good amount of greens and tomatoes on there, which we definitely appreciated. Got a poached egg on the top. Skipped out that olive oil drizzle because we didn't want the extra fat but it was not needed at all. 10/10 Recommend having the sauce that it comes with. The guac flavor can be a little bit overpowering with just the bread and egg otherwise, but with the sauce.. It is a total game changer! Really loved this one. Short Rib Flatbread was a 3/10 Ingredients said shallot, mozzarella, roquefort dressing, habanero honey But they were so so much barbecue sauce! The short rib was cooked in barbecue sauce, but there was no mention of this at all. This tasted essentially like a barbecue short rib flatbread. I'm not a fan of that flavor so this was a little bit sad. Too sweet for me. I was hoping for the sweet and spicy vibe with the habanero honey but none of that came through. Had to ask for extra crush to reflex and also took off most of the barbecue sauce with my knife. read more

We went for brunch, the food was overpriced for the quality. Server was quick and attentive, until the end. Food took over an hour to come out, and once we were done and ready to leave the server was nowhere to be found. read more

The inside area of the restaurant was far too hot, like broken thermostat hot. Lucky for us they have a very nice patio. Lots of heaters, but very friendly and accommodating staff that lets you move to another table without one, so you can cool off your now overheated head. For dinner we had the swordfish and the scallops. Both very good. The Japanese Cheesecake sounded better on paper. Not bad, but didn't deserve its rather high price. For breakfast we had the lobster scramble and the crab cake eggs benedict. The first was good, the latter was excellent. The part I despise is the sneaky surcharge in the fine print at the bottom of the menu, using the minimum wage increase as the excuse. Don't give me some political BS while I'm trying to have a nice dinner. Just pay your servers for their job without telling me about it and making me calculate. The archaic separated tax and tip practice is annoying enough. I don't need to know about all your individual costs, I'm not your accountant. Give me the actual/total price for an item like they do in civilized countries. Don't pretend it's cheaper than it is. It's an insult to our intelligence. Took off one star because of this. read more

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE NOT WHITE! This place is so racist if you are not a white person or if you have a slight accent you get treated like crap , insulted in a demeaning manner! They might as well hang a Nazi banner at the door. This is the second time I'm dealing with this very rude waitress who keeps talking in a condescending manner and lacks any respect and professionalism . Sat down and politely asked for the happy hour menue. The waitress just looked at me like I'm not in the right place and said it's right in front of you! Pointing to the happy hour page! Not even saying hi and acting like I can't read! That was instead of greeting me and asking me if I wanted a glass of water or anything ...! After 10 minutes being by myself and not even offered a glass of water I raised my hand to order and the first thing she said oh this is the old menue and we don't have these items! I responded thats why I asked for the new happy hour menue so I could order a correct item. This tripped her off and started yelling at me that I shouldn't be talking to her like that. Really?! How should I talk to a rude person like you? I wonder if I didnt have the slight accent and had a lighter skin, I would be treated very differently and I was the only non-white person in the room. Interestingly enough everybody else was getting served with dignity and respect! Definitely a disgustingly dreadful situation. read more

Food are good, receptionist are very nice work. Nice environment, friendly and clean.

Part of hotel. Nice ambiance on the patio. Food was really good had the market salad and the pear and prosciutto pizza. Warm goat cheese with bread for appetizer. Lava cake for dessert. Took a long time for service (ex get more bread) but the staff was very sweet. read more

The restaurant has a beautiful setting, but the service left a lot to be desired. Most of the staff, including the manager and front desk team, were dismissive and unwelcoming--not just to us, but to others as well.

Came here for lunch. The scenery is above average. Lots of outdoor seating and I saw two outdoor fireplaces, plus gas heaters. I got the shrimp Caesar salad and husband got the short rib flatbread.

Our Mamas group had a nice lunch on a weekend afternoon on the patio. It was a beautiful day and we had a nice table overlooking the golf course. We had reservations and we were seated as soon as we arrived. We were greeted by our waitress and asked about drinks. I opted for a glass of Prosecco while my other mamas got their cocktails. We perused the menu and I opted to get the Caesar salad and added shrimp as my protein. (I was torn between the shrimp and salmon since they were the same price.) Our drinks took a while to come out but luckily we passed the time with each other's company. Our drinks and appetizers arrived and we all shared some chips and guacamole. It was good but it was small in portion. When my entree came out, I was pretty disappointed that my shrimp were small and I only had 3 pieces. I looked over at salmon my friend ordered and that piece of salmon was a good portion! I should have ordered the salmon! Nonetheless, my salad was good since I love me a Caesar with extra dressing and lots of parm cheese! Because we love our sweets, we ordered one of every dessert. Warm chocolate cake, Tiramisu, Bread Pudding, and Crème Brûlée. They were all tasty but I'm a chocolate fan, so my fave was the warm chocolate cake. I wish there was fudge on the inside but the warm cake did go perfect after a nice light meal. Service could have been better but they were busy for a weekend afternoon. We had a great time and we loved the location. We will come back for another spa day! read more

Had clients coming into town and decided to dine at Veranda which I've been a handful of times. I wanted to shout out to Nadia for reserving a table with an amazing golf course view upon request. Also appreciate our server Sal how was attentive and did an amazing job. The atmosphere is luxurious yet relaxing. The food is quality, succulent, and delicious. The desserts are to die for. After dinner we walked around, checked out the Chef's garden, hotel, etc. Will continue to dine here for years for brunch / lunch / HH / Dinner. read more

Amazing atmosphere, great outdoor place to enjoy dinner. Everything was good, skirt steak was really good and Mac and cheese is to die for. Had the bolognese last time and it was amazing. The shrimp cocktail is a must however 3 shrimps is a downer for the price. It might be considered overpriced but for special occasions it's a joy to sit out at sunset and enjoy the time. The waitress Tavia was very friendly and accommodating! read more

Ambiance and service were very good. Our server was very attentive and caring. The slow kitchen was not his fault. The food was very poor - over priced and took forever to be served. Zero star food. The Goat cheese bowl was like thick lumpy soup that had been run through a blender. I had a stomach ache all night after eating it. I know - I should have sent it back, but I didn't have 45 minutes to wait for another dish read more

4.95% Surcharge added "to support local and state mandates" - This is pretty ridiculous to try and sneak this onto the bill. Def lost points for this. Server was super nice, food came out a touch slow. The cinnamon roll was pretty tasty, but they skimped a bit on the frosting. Worth getting for sure, but add extra frosting to the order. read more

Food was great, I ordered a Buddha bowl and the mushrooms were seared just perfectly, partner had a burger that was cooked very nicely. Ambience is great especially if you are seated outside, there's a nice view (if you like golf course views). Service is attentive but not always prompt. The staff are detail oriented, they are part of the Rancho Bernardo Inn so they have a reputation to uphold. It's a sprawling tree-lined campus!! Follow the signs and you should eventually find it and get in a nice walk. read more

We went on a Wednesday night and got to enjoy some live music and delicious food! Our server was attentive without hovering, the host helped us get on the waitlist which took less time than quoted, and the music was appropriate for the ambiance! Our group had the bread service x2 (couldn't help ourselves) salads, burgers, a steak dish, and dessert. The bread came out warm and lovely! The veranda salads were good sized portions. The burgers were both cooked differently by request and they were delicious. Our friend got a steak dish I believe but had licked his plate clean before I could even notice! I had a Bernardo breeze cocktail and it was so good! I had the red velvet cake for dessert it was a nice slice and not overly sweet as some icings can be. While there a table near us had some misunderstanding about the dessert policy which is on the website, menu and the host also let them know at their arrival. The staff handled the upset woman quickly and professionally and if I wasn't so nosey I wouldn't have even noticed! Kudos to their staff! read more

I'd give this place 2 stars for the food, but the ambience/live music/attentive staff are all a definite plus. The food... onion soup was not like any onion soup I've ever had. Instead of gruyere cheese topping with hearty caramelized onion broth, it looked like chunky tomato onion soup that was blended together. A small piece of baguette with cheese on the side. The margherita flatbread was doughy and thick, not the thin, crispy bread I was expecting. The pasta was mediocre as well, we added shrimp for 12 dollars, and it came with 3 pieces of shrimp. Ambience is nice, especially early evening when the sun is setting and they have live music going on. I'd recommend this place for a drink, but come after you've eaten. The food will be disappointing. read more

Loved this place so much! Came here for lunch before our tee time and was pleasantly surprised with the ambiance and tasty meals.

This place is very secluded and quiet and I really liked that. The only thing was I was introduced to this place by a date (he didn't work out) but the FOOD DID! I have not stopped thinking of that salmon since I tasted it. Now I wanna go back. I literally have spent hours trying to find this place because the salmon was so good. I don't care if I run into that loser again, the food is worth it. Oh yeah, the servers were really attentive and nice too. They do accept Apple Pay even though it says they don't. My date got in a big huff and puff and forgot his wallet so I told him to ask if they had Apple Pay, that's how I know lol. read more
