Verdict Restaurant

The Verdict is an absolute gem of a place. I went to The Verdict with a very large group (about 15 or so) approximately 30 minutes before they closed. Working in food service myself, I know that breaks every rule in the book, and I begged my group not to go in forthe sake of the staffs sanity. But alas, my opinion was squandered by my hungry friends.We barged in and were immediately sat by the staff. We ordered lots, and lots of food. By the time our food arrived, the restaurant had technically already closed. Even with every right to be annoyed, the staff treated us like we were their first customers of the day. Our waitress was incredible – so friendly and cracking jokes throughout our entire time there (and we werent making it easy for her). The quality of our food was in no way compromised – each and every item was truly delicious and the portions were generous and affordable. They even brought us some amazing homemade bread.Eating at this place would have been a fantastic experience no matter what the time. But given that we not only stayed past closing time, but also brought a huge group, this restaurant deserves any and all accolades. Thank you, The Verdict, for giving up your time for us and for creating a wonderful memory! We will be back! Not like I remembered. Its probably 20 years since I visited this restaurant. Wonderful chicken lemon rice soup. I salivated while waiting only to be sorely disappointed. No flavor except an overwhelming lemon taste. And this cup cost .49. Did not come with my meal. I ordered the California crepes. Also disappointing. No flavor even adding S&P and Chiluba. And wasnt just me. Equally long since my hubby was there. Had a crab salad sandwich with fries. The fries came seasoned. Asked the waitress if they had any other fries. Nope and she didnt even offer an alternative even though there were 4 side choices when he ordered the fries. The service was also terrible. But Ill give them that since it was a busy Sunday.
