On The Verandah - HIGHLANDS

Karen and I have eaten all over the world in some amazing restaurants and experienced some Michelin rated chefs. We found the cuisine at On The Verandah to be not only excellent but imaginative. A small, be very creative, selection of international wines made the evening ever that much more special. Who would have thought a restaurant on a mountain road outside of Highlands could have been so good? Before we left we made reservations for a week later, and cancelled our reservation to another well regarded restaurant in town. That should tell you something!

An exceptional meal from start to finish. The wedge and spinach salads were delicious, as were the lobster and local trout entrees. Ask for a table on the terrace overlooking the lake, for a truly lovely setting.

Can’t wait to go back! Might be the best restaurant in Highlands. Fabulous food, ambiance with friendly and knowable staff.

The atmosphere was fantastic and the food was delightful. The service was exceptional. I would recommend dining on the veranda to everyone I know.

We had a lovely dining experience overall. The location by the lake was stunning. Unfortunately, the service could have been better. We arrived early at 6 PM when not many tables were occupied, yet it took the server over five minutes to reach our table. After finishing our main course, we had to wait a while for the server to come back and check on dessert. When it was time to settle the bill, it took quite a while for the server to return with the receipt after we presented our credit card. Even though the restaurant started to get busier, the wait to sign the receipt was still too long for us.
