Fodor's Expert Review The Veranda
A favorite of business and government bigwigs, the Veranda serves imaginative Continental fare with a trace of a Southern accent for dinner. The restaurant is a combination of two turn-of-the-20th-century homes, with sconces and antique oil paintings on the pale-yellow walls and a two-sided central brick fireplace. Notable menu items are tournedos with smoky sour-mash-whiskey sauce, rack of lamb with rosemary-Merlot sauce, herb-crusted honey-grilled salmon, and a grilled seafood sampler with prosciutto cream fettuccine, all served with homemade honey-drizzled bread and corn muffins with pepper jelly. Ask for an outdoor courtyard table when weather permits.
