Veranda is hands down one of my favorite spots for breakfast with friends! The place is super stylish and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to start the day. One of the best things about it is the stunning view—overlooking a beautiful golf course with fountains and serene water features. The food here is absolutely delicious, and their cocktails are on point! Every dish is high quality, fresh, and well-prepared. The vibe is elevated even more by the relaxing music and the incredibly friendly staff, who always make you feel welcome. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality of food and overall experience make it totally worth it. I absolutely love coming to Veranda for breakfast with my friends—it’s always a great way to enjoy a fantastic meal in a beautiful setting!

I brought my girlfriend here for mothers day. I haven't been to the inn in 20 plus years. The hostess gave us the best table in the house, outside the view was fantastic. Kayla our server was absolutely amazing, friendly, attentive and genuine. She really made our visit special. The food was okay, nothing special. Thank you Kayla.

Historic area. Definitely reserve time to walk around and enjoy the views. The food itself has a small menu. The price tag is quite hefty but the food is delicious and the service is phenomenal.

We went to have dinner for our anniversary and absolutely loved it. The atmosphere was outstanding and live music was beautiful. Our server, Joseph, was very attentive. We had very good time. 100% recommend.

My high school friends and I had a get together lunch. The view is amazing, food is delicious, and service is great. Our server is very friendly and professional. We love the drinks that we ordered. It was a wonderful place to spend a lovely afternoon in Rancho Bernardo. We will come back.

Had an awesome brunch at Veranda. The birria chilaquiles were insanely good—perfectly crispy with just the right amount of spice. Also tried the bacon cinnamon roll, which was a killer combo of sweet and savory. Portions were huge, so if you're not super hungry, definitely consider splitting. Shoutout to Louis, our waiter, who was awesome. He noticed we were getting a little too much sun and brought over an umbrella without us even asking. Super thoughtful! Overall, great food, great service, and a super chill vibe. Definitely coming back!

Great food, beautiful views, fantastic service. I have zero complaints about this spot. Enjoy a nice shaded meal on the patio and watch some golfers tee off. You can’t go wrong with anything you choose here

A splurge, for sure, but it's totally worth it. Every single bite was a flavor explosion, while the views elevated the experience. I felt like Catherine Zeta-Jones, having a cocktail with friends on a sunny afternoon. Five stars, no question.

We really enjoy coming here from time to time even if not everything is perfect. This time we had great service from Samantha, which was very nice after a few visits where service was the weak spot. Patio heaters work almost too well! So it was a little warm but it will be great to come back here in December to eat outside and be comfortable. Portions were huge this time. I got the beet and burrata salad and was almost full after eating only half of it. We also ordered the sourdough boule which is very tasty, but came out so hot we had to let it cool for a bit. I enjoyed my Hugo Spritz. The striped bass was also a huge portion of protein, with just a little on the side, parsnip purée and a few vegetables. Not mind blowing but tasty and healthy. We definitely had no room for dessert. In general I like the live music program here a lot and it's one of the reasons we like to come here. We had seen this musician before but this time the performance was a little too mellow for us. But this is a very nice hotel restaurant that it is worth going to even if you're local. Nice food and a super setting.

We had reservations, so no wait. Paid for valet, free parking lot was pretty full (went on a Saturday). Food was okay. Had steak and eggs, lobster roll and cast iron cinnamon roll. I felt our waitress was prejudiced against me and my friend. She asked if we were guests/had a room, I said no. She said "don't put it as a room charge." As if she thought we were going to dine and dash. Her demeanor changed when she saw my AmEx. Was considering this venue for an event. But it wouldn't be the place for me.

Came in for an anniversary dinner. We have played the golf course before but never thought to stay for food and I am sad we didn't figure out how yummy the food is sooner! The food is good, service is good, ambiance is good. They have live music and very attentive servers and bussers. I believe there is only an outdoor patio so bring a jacket! They have patio heaters but still can get chilly once the sun goes down!

A favorite restaurant with my family. It was a sweltering day, but we had a beautiful dinner at night with perfect temperature on the patio. Live music playing in a picturesque setting. Service is always great, too! But the full menu has gorgeous seafood and steak selections. New chef, was last at Chateau Marmont in Hollywood and with Brian Malarkey! VERY vegan and vegetarian friendly! Also posting the summer specials, and we had several of the summer drink specials!! One more day at the special price. (The specials are posted on a board just inside the restaurant door). Try the Hugo, for sure!

Nothing to write home about. My brother, mom, her friend, and I stopped in for breakfast over the weekend and the hostess seemed super confused. We put our names on the waitlist, were told it would be about 10 minutes (despite us being the only people waiting and half of the outside area being empty), and stood outside of the little gate for much longer. Finally we went back up and asked and she seated us right away. We ordered a smoothie, breakfast burrito, and an egg skillet. Everything was just ok. The views of the golf course are very pretty but I'd definitely skip eating here.

Beautiful setting with view of golf course. The mushroom egg scramble with added jalepenos and potatoes was absolutely delicious. Rebecca took great care in ensuring everything was just perfect! Highly recommend for breakfast/brunch

Overall I'd rate our experience 3.5 stars. The pros: - a beautiful ambiance with all the patio seats overlooking the green golf course. The patio is pretty large with plenty of tables and chairs. They also have heaters and shades. - food selection was good for a Sunday brunch and all our food was fresh and tasty. Typical hotel prices but we left full. - free self-parking but on a Sunday morning, it was full (probably from everyone coming to golf) and we had to wait for a spot and it was pretty far from the entrance of the restaurant. The biggest con and the reason for knocking off 2 stars: - the service was terrible: we sat down and waited 10 mins for our server to acknowledge us. Then she dropped off coffee and the menus and didn't show up for another 20 minutes. Then we ordered our food and it took another 20-25 mins to come out. When we were ready to leave, we could not find our server and when we asked a busboy if we can get our check, he said we'd have to ask our server. Well DUH...but if we can't find our server, what are we supposed to do? If you're in a rush or hungry, you have been warned the service is very slow here. I'd consider returning but management really needs to work on providing better and more efficient service.

The Veranda located at @ranchobernardoinn is the perfect place to enjoy outdoor dining with golf course views during the day, and a cozy fireplace to relax in front of while dining or mingling under the stars at night. There is also an indoor dining option with a pub like feel where you can stop in to watch your favorite game or grab a quick drink before a round of golf . The onsite Chef's Garden produces dishes made with seasonal and locally-sourced ingredients, the freshest proteins and give the menu a Mediterranean coastal feel with a Southern California twist. The Veranda was also the perfect place to bring a toddler with all the places you can walk around and entertain them when they get too antsy to sit before the meals come. kid friendly! Their Mac N Cheese was a bit too fancy for our picky kid's liking, but I enjoyed it as leftovers ‍. We ordered (Brunch Menu): Good Morning Burger Bottle of Sparkling Wine, Orange Juice Margherita Flatbread Grilled Swordfish Sandwich Kids Mac "N" Cheese Follow @sandiegofoodie858 (IG) for more must try San Diego restaurants, date night ideas, and food experiences!

I had brunch/lunch with my group of lady friends. They had brunch and I opted to wait 30 minutes for the lunch menu to be available at 11:30am sharp. My heart was set on getting the burrata salad and I was so glad that I waited! It was an incredibly delicious salad! This restaurant had outdoor only seating when we went. From our table, we had a beautiful view of the driving range and watched golfers as we enjoyed our food. I would definitely recommend coming here!

Veranda has indoor and patio dining that has a beautiful view of the golf course. A group of us had brunch on a weekend, and it was honestly the perfect weather. They have heated lamps but we didn't even need them. The umbrellas they had were helpful since it was so sunny. They also have an area with an outdoor fireplace. The menu here is filled with a pretty good variety of options, and the prices are reasonable. I ordered the birria chilaquiles, which while it wasn't the best I've had they were pretty good. They only offer red sauce unlike some other restaurants that offer green as well, but I like both so it was find with me. They do breakfast until 11:00 then take a break until 11:30 when the lunch menu starts. So just a heads up, in between that time you can't really order anything. I ordered a glass of Sangria as well which was pretty good, and not too strong. Overall it was a beautiful brunch with some solid food, and great views. I'd happily go back, especially considering it's so hard to find brunch spots that do reservations. Their dinner looks good as well, so I plan to go back for that.

We came here for our first time when staying at the resort. I really liked it! The service was great. Food was good but could use a little more "pozzaz" to make it less bland. I got the chicken club and it was good but the bread was not my favorite. Additionally, I feel like it needed more flavor as it was too simple. Fries were good but again needed some more flavor (maybe more seasoning?). Breakfast burger - same deal - good but could've used some more flavor. I forgot the name of the cocktail I got (strawberry something?) But I loveeeed my drink and it was strong! Overall a great experience and would come again if I'm staying at the resort. Making reservations here is easy too.

This place is a hidden gem in my experience. It's got a great set up and in the evenings they play live music at times which adds to the ambiance. The RB Inn, where it's located, has been a draw in the local community for photos before dances and events by high school kids, and the staff if super accommodating and tolerant, which I think is a plus. The food options are exceptional and the service level is high quality, so I can definitely recommend it for evening get-togethers and lunch.

If I could give my experience more stars, I would. My mother and I ate brunch here to celebrate my late grandmother's birthday (she always stayed at the RB inn when visiting us). Our waitress Rebecca was so kind and made our experience even more special than we could have imagined. We will be returning for her next birthday to make this a yearly tradition.

Chilly Christmas night with friends looking for a holiday inspired place to hang out. This review is specifically for the Veranda Bar vs the actual restaurant. Open seating and lots of space for large groups in the bar area. We were able to get drinks in a reasonable amount of time and happy to be able to enjoy the Christmas decor and ambiance. The holiday drinks were very fun and priced decently considering them a seasonal specialty menu. 10/10 for the aesthetics 7.5/10 for drinks

The food was good but nothing that really stood out and that will blow you away. Also it's a bit pricy. However it's super nice to sit outside and have dinner looking out at the sun setting above the golf course. Another plus is that it is dog friendly. The staff there is also very professional and friendly.

The Veranda Restaurant is a wonderful restaurant that has incredible views on the outside "veranda". The summer weather with a nice cool breeze helped us to enjoy a delicious lunch served by the restaurant. Our server, Sara, provided us with exceptional hospitality, ensuring our comfort and enjoyment I ordered the Brioche BLTA, with a side Ceaser Salad. There was a generous amount of crisp bacon with a nice ratio of lettuce and tomato. The salad was also tasty. We were celebrating a Special Occasion and received a complimentary gift of a slice of a chocolate chiffon cake with berries which was absolutely delightful!!! This made our lunch quite memorable!!!

No one does a lox bagel better than Veranda! Incredible fresh fish & veggies, this is my go to brunch along with the house potatoes! The service is always outstanding, especially Louis, who is diligent and kind. The outdoor seating is ample with a great view of the course & fireplace that makes dinners feel cozy. Overall, one of my favorite restaurants!

Living in the area makes Veranda so convenient! It is our go to spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner! the ambiance is perfect situated near the course- views are amazing at sunset. We like seeing our usual waiter who is super! The lobster Mac and cheese and lobster roll are my personal faves. It's easy to get a table and can accommodate families and parties no problem. It's even better when they have live music and the fire going!

This restaurant is beautiful, it oversees the golf course and when the sun goes down, amazing... they also have live music. There was a man playing guitar and it was very cute. It would be a romantic date night option. It was a little pricey, but the food was delicious and the service was great. I had a whiskey sour, it was strong and perfect in taste. We had shared the lobster Mac n cheese appetizer and it was soooo good. I didn't include a picture of my short rib main dish, but it was so good I forgot to take a picture and I ate it right away! Would definitely go again for a date night, maybe after a day of golf!

I stayed at the Rancho Bernard Inn, so we had lunch at the Veranda. We sat inside, but there is also outside seating! We shared the shrimp ceviche, Caesar Salad, and crab cake sandwich. The ceviche was a bit fishy, but everything else was pretty tasty. I enjoyed the sandwich, which had plenty of crab cake and came with yummy fries. I got a mocktail, which was refreshing. The Naked and Famous cocktail had a good amount of alcohol, so my friend love it haha.

Came here on a Friday morning for brunch and they were a little understaffed so it took awhile to be seated and our food to come out. But the hostess and waitress were very nice and doing their best. Ordered the chilaquiles with the waitress' recommendation and it was delicious. The tortilla chips were big and crunchy. The salsa verde had a nice little kick to it. It was a large dish! My friend ordered and liked her Shaved ham and eggs Benedict dish too. We sat outside because it was a nice day and there is a nice view of the golf course. Lots of patio heaters to keep us warm too.

Part of hotel. Nice ambiance on the patio. Food was really good had the market salad and the pear and prosciutto pizza. Warm goat cheese with bread for appetizer. Lava cake for dessert. Took a long time for service (ex get more bread) but the staff was very sweet.

The inside area of the restaurant was far too hot, like broken thermostat hot. Lucky for us they have a very nice patio. Lots of heaters, but very friendly and accommodating staff that lets you move to another table without one, so you can cool off your now overheated head. For dinner we had the swordfish and the scallops. Both very good. The Japanese Cheesecake sounded better on paper. Not bad, but didn't deserve its rather high price. For breakfast we had the lobster scramble and the crab cake eggs benedict. The first was good, the latter was excellent. The part I despise is the sneaky surcharge in the fine print at the bottom of the menu, using the minimum wage increase as the excuse. Don't give me some political BS while I'm trying to have a nice dinner. Just pay your servers for their job without telling me about it and making me calculate. The archaic separated tax and tip practice is annoying enough. I don't need to know about all your individual costs, I'm not your accountant. Give me the actual/total price for an item like they do in civilized countries. Don't pretend it's cheaper than it is. It's an insult to our intelligence. Took off one star because of this.

The restaurant has a beautiful setting, but the service left a lot to be desired. Most of the staff, including the manager and front desk team, were dismissive and unwelcoming--not just to us, but to others as well. Thankfully, our server Kayla was a bright spot--kind, attentive, and the only one who made us feel welcome. Food was okay

I never would've gone to this restaurant as it is a little out of the way from where I'm located. I am happy that my work had a dinner here and the food was amazing! My coworkers got Halibut that looked very good some others got skirt steak, looked quite quite good and one more got the scallops and I was fortunate enough to try a piece and they too were amazing! The table got a bottle of wine (the pessimist from Dau Vineyards in Paso Robles, CA) definitely recommend this bottle if you're a red wine fan. Finally finished the night off with an espresso martini. If you are a coffee fan I recommend this as it is not on the sweeter side which is a HUGE PLUS for me!

We have been here a few times before Covid and went back for an outdoor dinner on a hot summer day. We had a reservation right before the sunset and it was a beautiful time of the day to enjoy the outdoor ambience. We enjoyed the soft pop live music. The menu felt limited. The entrees were mostly $30 - &40. I completely forgot about the price that comes with the ambiance! We were not sure if we wanted to go for $40 plate, so selected something more reasonable: burger and flat bread, and a glass of wine. The waiter was nice and attentive. The flat bread was so delicious with a great combination of the toppings: prosciutto, grapes, mozzarella and blue cheese. Totally gourmet tasting! My hubby had the burger and said it was a gourmet burger and tasted fantastic although it was not Angus. Can't wait to go back! Great place for good outdoor ambience, good food and wonderful memories...

We've been here a few times over the years--most recently We had a wonderful breakfast/brunch here at Veranda Fireside Lounge. It was easy to get a reservation and then once we arrived we were promptly seated. Service was fast so we didn't have to sit and wait a long time to get our orders placed. The menu for breakfast is slightly limited (see photo) but I think they basically have something for everyone. Their outdoor seating area was also quite pleasant and you don't feel like you're crowded in with a lot of people since there's good spacing between tables. The food quality was solid and the portion sizes were substantial--we were full when we left. I ended up with the omelet the first time we went and the second visit I got the Loco Moco. Their prices have gone up over time but quality was still very good (newest menu photo July 2023). --TL;DR-- Pros: reservations are easy, good selections and great outdoor seating, service was good Cons: pricey, parking can be a pain sometimes, one person meeting us had to circle around a bunch of times waiting for a spot. Bottom Line: good outdoor setting for brunch, with some higher end priced items, overall enjoyed it!

For my wife and I, this has been one of our favorite places to go for a special, high quality meal in a beautiful outdoor setting. It is adjacent to the golf course, but the main attraction here is impeccable, delicious high quality food in one of the nicest restaurant outdoor patios we have been to. Recently, we went on Saturday, and noticed they have a brunch Saturday and Sunday now with many items to choose from. We started with the Brussels sprouts which were delicious. My wife had the Salmon Market Salad which she though was one of the best salads she has had in a long time. I have the lobster roll which came with tomato bisque. Though I have had better lobster rolls, it was still delicious and the combination with the creamy tomato bisque was superb. Service here is always top notch as well, and this time was no exception. Everyone who works there is always so attentive to anything you need. It was a breezy day and someone had turned on the fire pit but the heat was going all in our direction which was starting to make it uncomfortable briefly. Our server noticed this without us asking and offered to move us to any other open table, and we did and enjoyed the rest of the meal in comfort. I highly recommend this place for a special afternoon meal or special occasion especially on a beautiful day to enjoy the ambiance.

Came here for lunch on a spa day at the resort and really liked the place. Nice aesthetic with the view of the golf course on the side. Loved how it was actually outdoors and like a veranda! Guava Mango Refresher was beautiful! Husband and I were both surprised. Guava and mango flavor both came through and in the perfect balance. Market Salad was really fresh! We asked for dressing on the side and grilled chicken instead of salmon. Everything went perfectly well together! Candied walnut, blue cheese, all the berries were so perfect together. Also really appreciate how they plated everything with the ingredients. All separated out. Made it very pretty. California Avocado Toast was also very fancy! It was guac instead of smashed avocado, a good amount of greens and tomatoes on there, which we definitely appreciated. Got a poached egg on the top. Skipped out that olive oil drizzle because we didn't want the extra fat but it was not needed at all. 10/10 Recommend having the sauce that it comes with. The guac flavor can be a little bit overpowering with just the bread and egg otherwise, but with the sauce.. It is a total game changer! Really loved this one. Short Rib Flatbread was a 3/10 Ingredients said shallot, mozzarella, roquefort dressing, habanero honey But they were so so much barbecue sauce! The short rib was cooked in barbecue sauce, but there was no mention of this at all. This tasted essentially like a barbecue short rib flatbread. I'm not a fan of that flavor so this was a little bit sad. Too sweet for me. I was hoping for the sweet and spicy vibe with the habanero honey but none of that came through. Had to ask for extra crush to reflex and also took off most of the barbecue sauce with my knife.

Had clients coming into town and decided to dine at Veranda which I've been a handful of times. I wanted to shout out to Nadia for reserving a table with an amazing golf course view upon request. Also appreciate our server Sal how was attentive and did an amazing job. The atmosphere is luxurious yet relaxing. The food is quality, succulent, and delicious. The desserts are to die for. After dinner we walked around, checked out the Chef's garden, hotel, etc. Will continue to dine here for years for brunch / lunch / HH / Dinner.

We had the Short Rib Flatbread and Grilled Chicken Club. I also had the Mojito. The flatbread was good and I would recommend. The Grilled Chicken sandwich was alright/average. Mojito was good as well. But the views and the atmosphere of the place was superb.

Ambiance and service were very good. Our server was very attentive and caring. The slow kitchen was not his fault. The food was very poor - over priced and took forever to be served. Zero star food. The Goat cheese bowl was like thick lumpy soup that had been run through a blender. I had a stomach ache all night after eating it. I know - I should have sent it back, but I didn't have 45 minutes to wait for another dish

We went on a Wednesday night and got to enjoy some live music and delicious food! Our server was attentive without hovering, the host helped us get on the waitlist which took less time than quoted, and the music was appropriate for the ambiance! Our group had the bread service x2 (couldn't help ourselves) salads, burgers, a steak dish, and dessert. The bread came out warm and lovely! The veranda salads were good sized portions. The burgers were both cooked differently by request and they were delicious. Our friend got a steak dish I believe but had licked his plate clean before I could even notice! I had a Bernardo breeze cocktail and it was so good! I had the red velvet cake for dessert it was a nice slice and not overly sweet as some icings can be. While there a table near us had some misunderstanding about the dessert policy which is on the website, menu and the host also let them know at their arrival. The staff handled the upset woman quickly and professionally and if I wasn't so nosey I wouldn't have even noticed! Kudos to their staff!

This place is very secluded and quiet and I really liked that. The only thing was I was introduced to this place by a date (he didn't work out) but the FOOD DID! I have not stopped thinking of that salmon since I tasted it. Now I wanna go back. I literally have spent hours trying to find this place because the salmon was so good. I don't care if I run into that loser again, the food is worth it. Oh yeah, the servers were really attentive and nice too. They do accept Apple Pay even though it says they don't. My date got in a big huff and puff and forgot his wallet so I told him to ask if they had Apple Pay, that's how I know lol.

Came here for lunch. The scenery is above average. Lots of outdoor seating and I saw two outdoor fireplaces, plus gas heaters. I got the shrimp Caesar salad and husband got the short rib flatbread. Both are very good. * my salad did have too much dressing, but it was edible. I got a cosmopolitan and husband had the house red. Both were very good. Definitely will be back for dinner. Service = very good Ambiance = very good Food = very good Drinks= very good

Food was great, I ordered a Buddha bowl and the mushrooms were seared just perfectly, partner had a burger that was cooked very nicely. Ambience is great especially if you are seated outside, there's a nice view (if you like golf course views). Service is attentive but not always prompt. The staff are detail oriented, they are part of the Rancho Bernardo Inn so they have a reputation to uphold. It's a sprawling tree-lined campus!! Follow the signs and you should eventually find it and get in a nice walk.

Delicious food and great live music! Grabbed a chicken Cesar salad and a sangria. Even though it was chilly outside there are a ton of heaters through the outdoor seating that kept the tables warm and cozy.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE YOUNG!! I have actually been here before with my mom and the service was amazing the food was great. However I went back with my friends and it was horrible to start we were given a 12:30 reservation and arrived at 11:30 we had no problem with that. We waited at the course for a hour in the 88 degree weather and were a bit exhausted, once we were finally seated we ordered our food and it did not come to us for over 55 minutes! We even asked our server half way through at the 30 min mark which she responded oh it's gonna be a really really long wait u have 3 parties ahead of you. We finally waved her down after 60 min of waiting and asked where our food was and but she ignored us, she rolled her eyes and scoffed at us (pretty rude), she was older and white and blonde if management sees this we were pretty disappointed and disturbed and didn't even want to eat there anymore at that point. On top of that we finally cancelled the order after a hour of waiting (around 1:30pm) and they brought our food out after that and it looked cold meaning they never checked for our food in the kitchen to begin with? Overall really sad experience because I loved the location however I will not be returning. I really emphasize not coming if you're young because they will not take u serious and treat you less than. I never even do yelp reviews but this was genuinely the worst dining experience I've ever had, they did offer us our food after we cancelled the order but at that point we didn't want to stay because we didn't feel very welcomed. Manager did call and apologize for behavior so I appreciate that.

Saturday's birthday lunch at the Veranda was perfect. The setting is just idyllic, the menu varied and unique, and the wait staff very friendly and efficient. The hostess, Netanya, was super friendly and especially sweet to our dog. The portions were large and my companions and I enjoyed a large cinnamon roll, iced with bacon, a beautiful order of avocado toast topped with an egg over easy, truffle fries and a breakfast burrito. We were all well pleased and I would love to return to try out the dinner menu! Thanks!

Michele should be let go. Antagonistic and absent during meal. Rib eye arrived RARE ordered medium. Never saw Michele after we were served. When approached re: absenteeism Michele was challenging & rude. Manager made things right, apologized but did not reprimand server. Very disappointing.
