Amazing service and the pork adobo was phenomenal! one of our go to date night spots!

Took my daughter here for dinner on Friday night before a concert. We were in and out in less than one hour. Multiple people stopped and checked on us. Colorful decor but not overwhelming. Quiet setting for good conversation while we ate. Not the typical selection you find at every other Mexican restaurant and there's a reason. The food was incredible. My daughter was worried at first there wasn't a traditional kids' menu but after we ate she was glad there wasn't. read more

Oh my goodness! What a great place.. Coincidentally, I came here in a taco Tuesday. Could have came on a better day. Even though the establishment was empty despite their crazy deals , everything was on point. Food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere. Give this place a go. read more

This is my new favorite Mexican restaurant! The service was amazing, who happened to be the owners son. He told us the history of the family moving from CA to open a higher end Mexican restaurant and to be next to their family. We ordered the fish and the pork belly tacos as well as the cauliflower. It was delicious!!We cannot wait to go back and try the other menu items soon! read more

Amazing. I just had the best fish tacos of my life here in Davenport, Iowa, where I am staying for just one night. Holy cow. I did not see that coming. The rest of the meal was fantastic, especially the tortilla chips and mango margarita. But those fish tacos set a new standard. Also, our waitress was as nice as can be. Finally, everything in this restaurant is gluten free. My husband did not miss the gluten at all. read more

This used to be one of our favorite restaurants to go to and tell people about but this last trip was very disappointing. The presentations were very different, sloppy. The taste was off. Seemed to be very understaffed as well, it took a quite a while to receive drinks as well as food. My margarita was incredibly bitter. We had friends also go a different night (we recommended they try this place) and they also said the same thing. Very unfortunate, as this used to be the spot for us for date night. read more

Used to be one of our favorite restaurants, with a lively menu, fresh ingredients, and cuisine that people would travel distances to enjoy. BUT They changed the menu/kitchen staff. (Serving staff was amazing though) The food was beyond bland and painfully unimaginative sopas tasted like canned chicken. We wound up leaving and dining elsewhere. Grateful for the memory of a once great restaurant. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place but to put it simply the food was amazing! Service was great too. Two of us had "Asada" and another had tepeche al pastore - lots of margaritas, the best chips and salsa I've ever had, the best biria tacos for appetizers I've ever had - even the shrimp ceviche was great! Definitely putting this place on the list if I'm in the area again! read more

I just took a trip to flavor town and wanted to stay overnight. Every sip, every bite, and every savory morsel was exotic and comforting at the same time. My husband and I love authentic Mexican food, and as such we love to try all the different types of Mexican food in the area. The QCA has decent representation of the varied types of Mexican cuisine but Verde seems to be the first if not only upscale Mexican restaurant. It's an overdue, welcome addition to the food scene. Each of our four dishes - cauliflower, shrimp ceviche tostadas, beans/rice, and carrots with beet mole - were masterpieces. Verde's chef truly harnessed the complexities of Mexican cuisine in each plate. Our spicy mezcal margaritas were expertly crafted with insight and true creativity. But my god, the bourbon and mezcal with chocolate bitters? Next.Level. It may come as no surprise that I enthusiastically recommend Verde as the Newest and Best Restaurant in the QC! Depending on the time of day you plan your visit, you may need reservations which are easy to make on their website. Please note: the GPS directions to Verde are a bit deceiving: it's in the ground floor of the apartment complex. Overall a great location because it IS sort of hidden but with easy access to free public parking nearby. read more

5star Excellent food. Service good but understaffed. (Tuesday afternoon maybe understandable). Appetizer, entree, desert very unique and delicious. Pleased. read more

The food is fresh made from scratch and delicious. The place is clean with a good vibe. Service was perfect and the marg pitcher was well worth it . 10/10 read more

Food was on point as usual! They had a starter that was called "Ensalada del Mercado" a beet and strawberry salad with fresh basil and fennel and roasted goat cheese) that was perfect. As a girl that dislikes beets, I have tried each beet dish every time chef Conner has made them and liked them each time. My husband had the dry aged steak and beans and rice. I had the Halibut. I will be returning for the Halibut it was great. read more

I'm so sorry to report that we had a very disappointing meal tonight at a place we had counted on to be a good place to celebrate my husband's birthday. Having already eaten here with success, this time we were surprised to have two main dishes that were so overly salted that they were inedible. After explaining our problems to the server, we received our bill with absolutely no compensation for two returned dishes. In all good consensus it would have ben nice if the chef (oui chef) had taken the time to talk with us. It wasn't just the mole that was too salty, it was also the steak and the chicken itself that were overly salty and therefore impossible to eat. This is our third time visiting. Other times things were much better. New chef? New recipes? Hold the salt please. read more

We attempted to eat here a few weeks ago. Despite the restaurant being about 2/3rds empty, the host had to check with several others when we requested a table for five. We were told they couldn't accommodate us. I could muster more tolerance for the nonsense had they cited limited staffing, but the reason offered was that their policy prohibited them from pushing tables together or adding a chair to the end of table. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the children in my party. Incidentally, my kids are better mannered than your staff and spend money as well as your patrons. read more

Absolute technicians at their craft! Will be attending the bar and grill night for sure.

The tacos are fantastic! The homemade shells are amazing. Don't walk here run! Absolutely the best elevated Mexican food in town! So fresh full of flavor love love love! read more

This is a no. We learned a new chef is at Verde. Several "original" dishes are still on the menu, but are different. There is no flavor. Tasteless food. We tried the sopas with chicken and habanero. It tasted like canned chicken. The staff is great and trying to make this restaurant successful. I'm not sure they can. We left, paid for our food and went to another restaurant to eat dinner. We could not eat the food served. read more

I came to Davenport IA on a whim to see a concert. The staff was extremely friendly and kind. They accommodated me even though I did not have a reservation. The place had a very cozy ambiance. I had the Verde Margarita and it had a very light hint of Elderflower not too overpowering. I ate the Carnitas tacos.and was not disappointed the tortillas were home made chipotle salsa was delicious and it had the right amount of onions and cilantro with a hint of orange zest.. I would totally recommend this place read more

Creative menu, great flavors, friendly efficient service, welcoming ambiance. We'll be back!

The food is delicious! After going to Verde for the first time early this fall, it's where I wanted to go for my birthday. We have never disliked anything we've tried and the first time we went our group ordered one of each of the things on the menu! Each of the dishes we tried was not just good but superb. My one complaint is that some of the dishes are so rich I need something in between bites to break up the richness. A creative slaw or salad? Something light and bright. He is such a skilled chef to elevate these ingredients and develop amazing flavors. And the staff is so friendly. For such a nice restaurant the food comes out pretty quickly on a weekday. I anticipate my next Verde meal. read more

We enjoyed the new covered patio. Great food and cocktails. Very fresh and flavorful. We heard mixed reviews before going and but we had a great experience. It may seem pricey if you go there thinking your getting Mexican food. It's not your typical Mexican food. We had excellent friendly service. From our experience our recommendations are the beans and rice, shrimp ceviche tostada, wagyu beef in mole. Definitely coming back. read more

The entrees include the meat item only and in small portions. This is not specified on the menu. The price is set too high for this quality. A little veggie would look much nicer but instead all you get is a chunk of meat and a sauce. I complained about the small size of the salmon and the tail portion of salmon (less desirable) and they argued it was a full 7 ounces and fresh, one hour from transport. Everyone knows fish in the Midwest (and just about everywhere) is transported frozen so it's all fresh. Our group of 13 spent a fortune here but I will never come again. Areas for improvement: -more descriptive menu -vegetable sides on entree -better appetizers -better educated manager. read more

This is our 3rd visit. This time we were prepared for excellent food, no sneaking up on us. There is a magician in the kitchen. More amazing this time than last. Salmon, Carnitas Tacos and Chicken with mole. 100. read more

Great food had the carnitas tacos.... Very good just wished they had chips and salsa read more

Really enjoyed Verde! It was unlike anything else we have in the Quad Cities. I felt like I was on vacation somewhere! The atmosphere was nice and the service was great. Food was unique and delicious. The cauliflower was great. My entree was the salmon which was also delicious. Drinks were really good and again unique! Will definitely be back. read more

We've been several times and loved it. It's different than the typical Quad Cities restaurant, and we hope it sticks around. The menu is small, but interesting. The margaritas are delicious and the desserts are fantastic. The service is top notch. Love their patio in warmer weather too. This has become our favorite local restaurant. Give it a try! read more

While the food was flavorful, my steak was cold (not room temperature) but cold. 2 of the 3 dishes were over salted. The first time we went, although only 2 tables were filled, we were turned away because they were too busy and we didn't need a reservation. The second time we went and I had a reservation, they said we didn't need it. I think the first time we went, we were turned away because we were not dressed nice enough. The second time we went, my friend and I also feel that the waiter made a comment about me being overweight read more
