"Firstly, I'd like to mention we've been regulars at Verf's for a couple years, and while slow at times, service has usually been exceptionally accommodating, no matter the staff. However, the recent update to the menu prices has me considering whether we can continue to afford supporting the venue as often as we once enjoyed, outside of special occasions. All our favorite dishes have been hiked up anywhere from an additional $5 to $9! A whopping 30% upcharge across the menu from what it was before. Fish Chips 16.99 21.99 6oz Salmon Bacon wrapped Shrimp 24.99 33.98 (or 26.99 w/o Shrimp 12oz Ribeye 33.99 42.99 (now comes with a shrimp skewer? Our server, while kind, kept pushing us items on the new menu, which we did not appreciate. We decided to mention how we were already unhappy about the price hikes after his third push, hoping he would stop. Unfortunately, he instead continued to attempt selling us on a $12 slice of cake throughout the meal. He tried to reassure us the prices were raised only by $2 on average per entree, though we have photos of the menu from earlier this year proving otherwise... He also mentioned how the prices have not been raised in half a decade, which is also untrue as proven by photos shared on Google Maps. Don't get me wrong, the food is generally still quite stellar! And if you feel the increased prices are deserved, by all means, I can only speak from my personal position. But unfortunately with a whopping 30% hike in price menu wide, I'm uncertain if we can continue to afford supporting the venue as regulars, or even recommend Verf's to friends anymore."

"TL;DR Food is nothing but average: too much garlic and overcooked. Service is average and nothing better. I got to get this out of the way first, out server was SO ANNOYING. Every single time he came up to our table, he would ask us if we were celebrating something. Every time we'd say no. Every time he kept asking. It clearly shows inattentiveness. We ordered a bunch of dishes. We ordered oysters Rockefeller, escargot and frog legs for starters. The oysters were very good, but the escargot and frog legs had WAY too much garlic. I'm typing this hours later and still have the taste of garlic in my mouth from these two freaking dishes. You literally couldn't taste anything but garlic. Many of us subbed the house salad for our entree for the onion soup. The onion soup is very good here as many have pointed out. I can confirm that it is very good. I got the salmon, and the rest of the people in my party got the rack of lamb, halibut and chicken cordon Bleu. The salmon was okay. The cranberry topping you could barely taste. As a result the salmon was quite bland and it was also slightly overcooked. The mashed potatoes were decent: they were silky smooth. The rack of lab was clearly way over cooked from the photos. It was definitely medium well instead of medium rare. The portion size was good, but it definitely wasn't salted enough and tasted a little gamey, when I tried it. I was told the halibut was good, but the chicken cordon Bleu wasn't worth finishing. We threw all our leftovers away as we didn't think anything was worthwhile saving."

"I’ve been debating posting this review but I really want the owners to know that first impressions make a difference. It was my families first time going to Turk Lake after hearing good things. Sad to say it will be our last. We arrive and we are one of two tables in the entire establishment. We are greeted with someone telling us to take a seat anywhere. We find a nice large booth and go sit at it. Our server (I believe her name was Amy) eventually comes over and passive aggressively says “So actually this section is closed……. Kinda why the lights are off”. Wouldn’t have been such a big deal to move had she been apologetic and asked us. But the rudeness was just too much. We move seats to a much smaller booth. We place our order and shortly after it is delivered to us. Our appetizer never arrived so we asked if we were still getting it. Our server said “Oh” and disappeared for a minutes, bringing back very undercooked deep fried pickles. No apologies (sensing a pattern here), she sets them down and mentions she doesn’t know how that was missed. Food was alright, same Gordon’s stuff you find everywhere around here but overall no complaints about our meals besides the pickles (Although I assume they’d be better if not rushed due to them being forgotten). But the lack of service was just too much for us to want to give the restaurant another try for a while."
