Came to Vera for dinner and ended up staying for the late night when the space transitions into more of a club atmosphere. Both experiences exceeded expectations. The food, ambiance, and service were all great, and our bottle server Gisselle was amazing. She made us feel welcomed from the start and stayed on top of everything all night. The music was great and the crowd is full of people there to dance and celebrate. If you’re visiting DC or looking for a fun place to celebrate with friends or family, this is definitely the spot.

Went for Saturday Bruno and was excited for fusion food. I did not expect a huge party fun filled atmosphere with great DJ and dancing. We had a blast. The hummus and Houlami sandwich was great for vegetarians. The labneh little tart for my liking. The drinks were very well balanced and very nice variety. The decor was like many restaurants in Mexico City. Highly recommend

Atmosphere was great, definitely recommend date nights here! Food was delicious, portions are a little small but everything was well made. I’d recommend the shrimp balls, mole kefta, wagyu sliders, and pistachio tres leches. Definitely would get some things and again and skip on others, but a really cool concept for a menu and delicious food nonetheless!

Such a wonderful brunch spot with so many unique and delicious dishes! The best part? The show! The dancers brought incredible energy, lighting up the room and even getting the crowd up and dancing—it turned brunch into a full-on party. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, which made the whole experience feel even more special. Just know there’s a $25 fee for the show and a 22% automatic gratuity, but honestly, the lively atmosphere and entertainment made it totally worth it!

We hosted our end of the year holiday party here and it was an absolute DREAM! The Vera team did an amazing job, making the planning so easy. The day of everything was flawless, letting our members have an amazing time. Every person who walked into the party remarked on what a great space it was. And the FOOD! Incredible. Every dish was delicious. Truly couldn’t imagine a better experience.

I celebrated my birthday at Vera Cocina and it was a festive moment. From the moment the Belly Dancing show started, the atmosphere filled with energy. The belly dancing show was a full-body vibe and immersive. The performers didn’t just entertain; they invited us into the rhythm. The energy in the room was electric, thanks to performers who captivated every table and made sure no one felt like a spectator.
If I could wish for one more sparkle, it would be magic to see all the performers adorned in elevated costumes to match the brilliance of their presence. Still, the experience was unforgettable, a celebration of movement, flavor, and connection. Highly recommend for anyone looking to turn a meal into a moment.

Vera was an amazing time! Food was really good and flavorful drinks were unique well presented and delicious as well. A wonderful blend of flavors really brings an enjoyable side to downing spirits. However what set Vera apart from other places was the service. I was helped tremendously by Cora who helped me get a table while I waited for my slightly large party who was running late. I came really close to closing time yet they were still able to accommodate us and did not make us feel rushed at all. Finally when my table arrived Dusan greeted us and listened carefully to what we were saying his attention to detail was nothing short of amazing. The service was great and very attentive. At one point we ordered a round of shots and Dusan brought an extra virgin shot (of juice) to my pregnant sister in law so she could feel included in the toast even tho she couldn’t drink alcohol. I was absolutely blown away by his attention to detail and he made the trip to Vera memorable to say the least! Thank you Cora and Dusan for the hospitality and wonderful accommodations!

Had my birthday dinner here first thing to note was that the waiter was great very attentive and always acting friendly. Always a great way to start a dinner. On top of that everything we had was excellent. The drink menu was great and very refreshing. Would recommend this place. The only thing I will say is the parking situation is not ideal we ubered. The neighborhood is a rough place and not very inviting. But other than that had a great time.
