Taverna Veranda

I had an absolutely incredible experience thanks to this server/manager Linda. From the moment I arrived, she went above and beyond in every detail. Her professionalism is matched only by her warmth and genuine care for guests. She was attentive without being overbearing, incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

What truly set her apart was her attitude calm, confident, friendly, and always one step ahead. You can clearly see how passionate she is about what she does. She made us feel welcomed, valued, and taken care of the entire time.

Honestly, she transformed a simple visit into an unforgettable experience. If every place had someone like her, hospitality would be on another level. Absolutely spectacular. Highly recommend her work!

I cannot find my photos of the delicious meal we had only the dessert. However the food was 10/10! Everything we ate the night we dined here was so delicious. The dessert was so yummy. The service was amazing. Our waiter his energy from start to finish was outstanding. The restaurant is beautiful and the vibes were great!

As you know, I only recommend places that I’m 100% sure are fantastic.
On Saturday, October 25, a friend invited me to this spectacular restaurant, and I have to describe the whole experience starting from the entrance.
From the moment I stepped into the lobby — 10/10.
When the young woman who greeted me asked who I was meeting, I told her I was meeting a friend who was already there. She said, “Carmen,” and I thought, this is not just any pretty place.
I went to meet my friend at the bar, and as soon as I arrived the bartender greeted me — another 10/10. He began speaking English, but when he heard me speak Spanish he switched to Spanish right away. That completely won my heart — a true Caribbean, Spanish-speaking touch. I ordered a Lychee Martini, and it was 100/10.
Then the young woman serving our table came over, and at that moment I honestly felt like proposing to the restaurant — 1000/10!
There’s a difference between simply working and truly serving, and not everyone has that gift.
As a wine lover, I told my friend that we both love Cabernet Sauvignon. The waitress recommended a bottle, and when I asked whether it had been aged in wood or steel she said “wood.” My friend and I immediately agreed — that’s the one.
From then on, everything was pure magic. You know I fell in love all over again — my new love is called Tarvena Veranda.

A hidden gem in the Fort Lee-Edgewater area! We went on a whim for dinner on the outdoor patio, which offers beautiful views of the city skyline. The ambience was lively and upbeat, and the service was friendly and welcoming.

The food was delicious and nicely presented. I especially loved the grilled calamari appetizer and the salmon entrée — both cooked perfectly. The menu offers a great variety, so there’s something for everyone. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable for the area and the waterfront setting.

It’s a wonderful spot for outdoor dining in Edgewater, and I’d definitely recommend it. Bonus: they also have live music on some nights, which adds to the experience.

We had an incredible dining experience at Taverna Veranda in Edgewater! I came here to celebrate my 30th birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic—an ideal spot for both a date night and a special occasion.
The lobster pasta was the highlight of the night—rich, flavorful, and generously portioned with a great amount of lobster. We also tried the lamb chops and a few appetizers, and everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented.
A big shoutout to our server Alonzo, who was amazing—he gave thoughtful, detailed descriptions of each dish and suggested excellent wine pairings that elevated the entire meal.
Highly recommend this place—exceptional food, warm ambiance, and top-notch service. Can’t wait to come back!
