The Veranda is beautiful outdoor venue. It is a more private area with 9 tables. Tables overlook green grass hill, beautiful flowers, a large pond and fountain. The waiter, Rob was very attentive to our table. He was friendly and made us feel special. The food is always amazing. The menu has favorites, as well as seasonal additions. As it's outside (covered with fans) dress accordingly. You need to make reservations early, as tables fill up quickly. Everything makes you feel special.

Poseidon was absolutely breathtaking! We had a wonderful evening. We watched the sunset from our dinner table that sat along the glass on the patio. Service was outstanding and food was delicious!
