    Veritas continues to be one of my wife’s and my favorite dining spots, and for good reason. Chef Mathis never disappoints—his menu always features a delightful balance of creative new dishes and beloved classics that keep us coming back. This time, we started with the Kale Salad, which was incredibly fresh and flavorful. My steak was cooked to perfection, seasoned just right, and bursting with flavor. My wife’s Shrimp and Grits were equally outstanding, with a perfect balance of richness and texture. The service was, as always, impeccable. The staff is consistently attentive and ensures that every detail enhances the overall experience. Veritas remains a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Highly recommended!

    Our 1st experience here was terrible. The service was horrible. Very slow and the waiter , who apparently was new, didn’t get drink orders right 3 times. But my husbands food was so good that he insisted we try it again. I am so glad we did. The service and food were exceptional! They even gave us a piece of Carrot Cake because it was my birthday! We will definitely be back! Thank you

    We had a table of 10 for dinner. Food and service were phenomenal. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great dinner with seasonal ingredients. We had 2 people that were gluten free and they were very accommodating.

    Very creative appetizers and entrees by Chef Stitt! Amazing Mahi Mahi dish tonight! Never tasted the combination of orange with tomato with black olive in a lightly salted peppery sauce to die for. Wonderful compliment to the tender fish. Also the “Devils on Horseback” bacon wrapped prunes are crazy delish. The staff is also super cool and genuinely interested in how their diners enjoy their meals. Nice work! Can’t wait to return to try more items.
