Hands down one of my favourite establishments in Kingston. Al fresco dining means it can be a bit warm, but there are fans and portable ACs to alleviate it.
I have never had anything from that menu I didn’t like, and my top recommendations (in no particular order) would be the chicken cordon bleu, coconut scotch bonnet cream pasta (don’t worry it’s not too hot), and tuna tartare. The pork chop also gets an honourable mention, too. The lobster roll from the lunch menu is a massive hit, and the lunch menu seems to rotate items every month to keep things exciting. It works.
I cannot emphasise enough how good the service is, there. I’ve actually been able to peep at interactions between staff members and also between the owner and his staff, and it’s easy to see why the service here is far superior to a great many places across the island. Every team member (that I’ve seen) from cook to hostesses is considered and treated well, and that translates into their interactions with customers.
Shoutout to the resident bartenders, who are not only good at making the listed cocktails, but also creative enough to come up with things to suit your tastes if necessary. Nothing tastes sickly-sweet and artificial, and I can’t recommend the vanilla (vodka) lemonade enough to beat the heat any day.
Can you tell this place gets way too much of my income?

Absolutely loved lunch here! The setting is beautiful. The food was really nice and came surprisingly quickly. The service was really super and thoughtful and the drinks were well mixed! Bathroom is accessed by a key. Great parking. Good deals on lunch specials. Will be back soon!

During my recent visit from California I had the pleasure of dining at The Steakhouse on the Verandah and it was an exceptional experience. We tried everything on the menu, and every dish was a testament to the culinary expertise of the chefs.
The food was simply delicious—well-seasoned, tender, and juicy. I had the pork chops, which were cooked to perfection, while my business friend enjoyed a steak that was equally impressive. Each bite was a delight, showcasing the quality and care put into the preparation.
For dessert, we indulged in the rum cake with ice cream, which was splendid. The Bob Marley drink was colorful fun drink also a standout, with its delicious flavors perfectly complementing my meal.
The service was another highlight of our visit. Princess, our beautiful waitress, was fabulous. Her attentive and friendly service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. And the Manager Christian was equally as kind!
We can’t wait to go back to to try more
If you’re looking for a memorable meal, be sure to visit and tell them you saw my review. You won’t be disappointed!

Top Notch. A must visit. The waiter was friendly and courteous, I especially like the fact that he was concerned if any of his guests had any food allergies. My only issue was the delay in the credit card transaction. The ambiance was great and nice location to dine with friends and family. The price is worth the food and it was extremely filling. I extended my recommendation 👍🏾
The presentation of the food was also well done. I will need to revisit to rate their restroom facilities.

Three of us went on a Friday evening without a reservation. We had no issues and were seated immediately. Note, this was right after Christmas (early January) so I don't know if it is normally full.
The menu has something for everyone. We ordered the smoked herring pasta, chicken cordon Bleu and roasted chicken breast. We also got seasoned fries and Mac and cheese.
Everyone enjoyed their meals, although it was noted that the roasted breast was a bit dry. The cordon Bleu serving was large, but a tad bit salty for my taste. For those that love Solomon Gundy, the pasta had a good balance of flavours. In my opinion, more flavourful cheeses could be used in the Mac and cheese to enhance the flavour, but it was creamy and none was left!
For drinks, we had the blended fruit punch, which was good, but may not be for everyone.
I also ordered lamb chops to go, which we're excellent even when eaten warm after some time.
I'll definitely be returning, and I especially hope they will bring back raw oysters and mussels on Fridays!
