"Now, about the food—it was fantastic! Two of us ordered the trio lasagna, filled ravioli, and chicken parmesan, all of which were generously served and smothered in a delicious red sauce. The chicken had a perfectly crispy and well-seasoned breading, the lasagna was juicy and creamy, and the ravioli surpassed our expectations. Another member of our group chose the eggplant parmesan, which was also generously sized and delicious. For dessert, we indulged in an incredibly smooth and sweet tiramisu, as well as a cheesecake featuring a layer of chocolate and an amazing graham cracker crust. (Sadly, no photos of our meal, but I wish I could have captured it—the garlic breadsticks served with dipping oil were also a highlight!) We traveled 30 minutes from Oceanside to try this restaurant, and I’m so glad we did! The food and service (thank you, Kai!) were out of this world. I just wish I could save some for later, but now I’m eagerly anticipating my next visit. It’s a pity we live in Arizona and can’t come here often, but I’ll certainly keep this gem in mind for my next trip to the coast. Mmmmm!"

"Sunday Brunch Date with the Hubs. Had a wonderful server, Tatiana, who helped us navigate the menu and everything she recommended was a hit! We loved our bacon wrapped date appetizer, Wellington Benedicts and berry cake. Our drinks were great (I had the Sangria, hubby had many screwdrivers) that Tatiana timed perfectly. Gotta say this was the best dining experience we’ve had here and we’ve been to the Veranda a few times."

"I recently visited a restaurant that had both strengths and weaknesses in their service and offerings. **Pros:** 1. The waitress was friendly and attentive, always checking in on us. 2. The terrace provided a quiet and welcoming atmosphere, complete with a peaceful pond filled with Koi fish. **Cons:** 1. **Food Availability Issues:** Unfortunately, we encountered several problems with food availability. We attempted to order a calzone and a Stromboli, but were informed they didn’t have the necessary equipment or chef to prepare them. We then ordered a salad, only to find out they didn’t have the ingredients for a Swedish salad. Our next choice, their spinach and mushroom pizza, was also unavailable due to missing ingredients. 2. **Pizza Quality:** After numerous failed attempts, we had to settle for two types of pizza: a vegetarian and a meat lover's variant. Both crusts were disappointing—almost burnt on the bottom and soggy on top. The vegetarian pizza was topped with poorly cooked, nearly raw vegetables. 3. **High Prices:** With two salads and two pizzas, our bill exceeded $80. I wouldn’t mind paying that much if the quality met expectations, but unfortunately, it fell short. 4. **Lack of Empathy:** Throughout our meal, our waitress had to interrupt our conversation multiple times to inform us that our orders couldn’t be fulfilled. Given all the complications, we expected a bit more understanding and empathy from the staff. Although we remained kind and patient, it was disappointing to have to reorder so frequently. We learned that their food delivery was scheduled for the next day, which explained some of the shortages. However, it seems odd that a restaurant, especially one located right next to a supermarket, would run out of basic ingredients like those needed for a salad. This raised concerns about the freshness of the food we were served: if they were out of stock today, how fresh could the food we ate actually be? I was especially glad I didn’t order any of the seafood options on the menu. Overall, my experience left me unimpressed. A simple gesture of apology or a complimentary dessert could have gone a long way in making us feel valued as customers. It’s unfortunate, as this type of service doesn’t seem typical for a restaurant that could otherwise provide a lovely dining experience. Signed, An Unimpressed Customer."

"PERFECT CATERING!!!! We enlisted 127 West Social House to cater a party at our home in Fallbrook and we are so happy that we chose them. They were helpful from the start during the ordering process and made sure we ordered the correct amount of food. I couldn't have been more impressed with their service on the day of the event. They showed up on time, set up everything beautifully and even helped with a few tasks unrelated to their catering. The servers did their jobs very well but we were most impressed with their outgoing personalities, kindness and overall awesome attitudes. We felt like they were an extension of ourselves as they hosted the party with warmth and smiles. The food was absolutely delicious and no one left hungry but I'm still floored by the service. When the party was over and everyone had left, we only had a few minutes of cleanup because the crew did such a stellar job throughout the event. Very pleased. Highly recommend."
