Chef Oscar's food, the music, fine wine, and graceful service make this my summer go to destination. The Valley loves Verse and it's such an important addition to our dining landscape -- I also love the new private dining room, color-drenched in the most amazing dark blue-green. It's a stunning space all around. Thank you Manny Marroquin for bringing us this incredible institution!

Terre E Mare is hands down the best hidden gem in studio city/sherman oaks. The food is always fantastic and the staff is always friendly and accommodating.

We had a great time overall! The hookah was excellent, the food was good, and the drinks were well made. I also really liked that they had a DJ, which added a fun and lively atmosphere. Service could have been better. Our server didn’t speak much English, which made communication a little difficult, and instead of pouring water, she just left the bottle on the table. We also ordered a steak medium rare, but it was only medium rare in the center, with the edges cooked well done. When we mentioned it, the server took the steak back but returned with the same plate, simply saying it was cooked correctly, and no manager came by to explain. Additionally, our fish was served more at room temperature—it was still delicious, but we would have preferred it to be served warm. We’re very easygoing, so we didn’t let these small issues ruin the night. Overall, besides a few service and food concerns, the vibe was great, and we had a fun evening. I would come back again for the hookah, drinks, and atmosphere.

It was my first time visiting I saw it on TikTok and wanted to try it. I do live close to the area its kind of hidden jam. It’s a new place been open for 2 months when I asked. Customer service was great it wasn’t busy on Saturday night so I don’t know how in the future will be hopefully they stay stable. Food wise: We ordered 3 kind of appetizers and 1 main course. Mushroom & Artichoke Crostini not gonna lie we didn’t like it. Mushrooms were very chewy I expected totally something else. Btw I’m giving my taste opinion maybe for someone else could be great. Eggplant Caviar was good but nothing crazy for me it was like hummus dip with small cuts of roasted peppers on top. Tuna Tartare was good. Lamb Rack was our favorite comes with mashed potato the combination was fire. Overall was good experience definitely will visit again for some pasta cuz we didn’t order anything Italian. Wish them all the best and to stay on the same path. There new so I’m pretty sure they will make some modifications for later. Definitely will visit again like I said and I do recommend to try it.

A wonderful experience start to finish. Definitely a busy night and service was a little slow, but the ambiance and view more than make up for it! The host gave us options for tables and the heater made the breezy evening super comfortable. Made a reservation just a few hours before. Easy! Definitely recommend!
