O. M. G. I'm very much of a Chicago foodie and this place could hold its own with any big city restaurant. The Southern Grit Cakes with pepper Jack cheese & Andouille sausage were an amazing app. Bread is served with a red pepper jelly that sounded scary but was out of this world good. If you can sit outside... More

My wife took me here for my Birthday - it's a real treat to dine here. Great service, menu, drinks and desserts in a pleasant atmosphere - but expect to pay premium prices. Valet parking is free but don't forget to tip the attendant.

We had lunch at this lovely place. Don't forget to read the interesting history on the menu. Our table was next to the windows facing the patio. The service was excellent and the food fresh and well presented. I had the Veranda Carpetbagger sandwich and my husband had the Quilted Chicken and both were delicious. We shared a shrimp cocktail...

I give this restaurant 5 stars across the board. I went there with my wife on our 25th anniversary May 15th 2013. I made reservations a month in advance. I had the roast rack of lamb, outstanding. My wife had salmon, she loved it. The wine selection is one of the best in the area, the desserts over the top.... More

Had lunch here after visiting the Edison - Ford Estates. The crab cakes and salads were excellent. Had Key Lime pie for dessert, also excellent. The service was excellent. No problems. Would go back again. Would be a very nice place to go for a romantic meal. Old Victorian atmosphere. Also have patio dining.

My sister has been coming to visit me for years from Chcago and each time she leaves, i tell her the next time she comes, we're going to the Veranda. She's heard me talk about what a wonderful experience it is to dine there and that I consider it a "special occasion" restaurant. We finally made it there a few... More

The Veranda is my very favorite place. We go for special occasions and when we have out of town guests. The service and food are superb. It reminds me of Mary Mahoney's in Biloxi, MS, another reason I love it. We had Mother's Day there and as always it was the greatest.

We’ve now lived in the Fort Myers area for about six months and had heard nice things about The Veranda. Well, we finally got there and are very glad we did because it was a fine experience from beginning to end. The term “old Florida” was often used in descriptions. Entering the restaurant, it feels like you’ve walked into someone’s... More

Beautiful surroundings, very good food for lunch, service slow due to no show of one server. This is a charming dining experience with two old houses and a center courtyard so dining can be in or outside. Lunch seems to attract business community and can get very busy. Soups and salads were excellent. Get there early!
