    Stone is always a wonderful experience from the moment you walk in. The food is fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff was attentive and professional. This is always a great place to come to get a great meal and relax in the beauty. I am beyond sad to see this come to an end!!! I hope the outcome changes, but I hear it is unlikely to happen. Stone Brewery you will be deeply missed but never forgotten. Wishing EVERYONE involved the very best in their next chapter, until then I will be visiting weekly with hope of a better outcome,

    Wonderful experience! For my birthday, we went to Veranda for dinner located at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. It is our go-to place for special occasions and entertaining out of town guests. The setting is beautiful and we loved the live music. Everyone ordered something different: steak, lamb, chicken, and seafood. All of the dishes were delicious, the service was great, and I must express my gratitude to Nadia, the host, for her kindness and acknowledgement of my special day! We strongly recommend Veranda for delicious dining in a beautiful setting!

    It is like going to dinner and a show. We were on the patio completely in the shade so it was very comfortable. We had a great view of the elephants in Elephant Valley. We took lots of pictures of the herd. Our server, Aziel, was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu as well as the herd! It was like having a waiter and docent all in one. We had seen such great reviews on the braised beef short rib (spinach, olives, tomatoes, creamy mokimo potatoes) that is what we had. It was melt in your mouth delicious and the entree was layered with flavor. Also, very good portion. We weren’t intending to have an appetizer but a waiter swished by us with something so aromatic we just had to ask what it was. It was Crisp Harissa Cauliflower (agave harissa glaze, tahini-lemon yogurt, chermoula, and chickpea leblebi). It is the most delightful dish. I could have eaten that alone as a main course. When I told Aziel how much we enjoyed that too he mentioned that some have added shrimp to it and had it as a main course. I believe it!! I highly recommend this restaurant.
