Overall, the experience was nice and pleasant. We came in right at 9 AM for our resy reservation and we were seated right away, no one else was there yet.
Service and Atmosphere
The host, who was also our waiter, was very nice, actually above nice. He was so friendly and hospitable! The service was quick and very warm, and the atmosphere was like a friendly diner.
Food
It was good, fresh food. The arugula salad was so good! That was my favorite.
Feedback
1. Not to put hot eggs on top of avocado toast because it turns avocado brown and it’s not very tasty anymore
2. Rethink the crab cake mix to have more crab in it
Management
The only thing that felt a bit strange was that the owner or manager seemed to be there and i think he spoke to all the other tables, but he never spoke to us until he waved goodbye as we exited. It could have been a ‘coincidence’ but the place is small and there were only 5 tables with a party. Either way I would return because the price margin was good for the food that was given and the service made you feel right at home.

My family and I love Verona American Grill. The food is always consistently delicious, and the service is amazing! Hari and his team do an great job making every customer feel special and welcomed. On some nights they have live music, usually a singer playing acoustic guitar. We love the ambiance, decor, and the overall vibe. This is a great restaurant for families. I highly recommend it!

Thanks to a friend recomending we have lunch earlier this week and dinner last evening, I can state unequivocally that this is a true little gem of a restaurant that I will be frequenting in the future.
As a second generation Greek American, I have a softspot for Greek owned restaurants. Harry is an extraordinary Greek from the island of Carpothos in Greece and brings a wonderful array of delicious appetizers, soups, salads, sandwhiches and entrees to the menu, both lunch and dinner.
Last night was even more a treat as a well known, local and talented musician, Vinnie Ferrone entertained the diners for 2 hours of continuous easy listening music from the 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond.
Very thankful for new friends and a great local restaurant to visit in Verona, New Jersey

From the outside, it looks like a small little diner. When you enter, it is a very different vibe, with one reviewer on their website calling it a new modern/american diner. Great care and thought went into the customer experience – the colors in the restaurant, the design elements, the flatware, glasses, the plates, the flowers, candles on the tables, and even the ice in the drinks. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. My salmon and string beans were perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the mashed potatoes were the creamiest mashed potatoes I’ve ever eaten. My boyfriend got the Wagyu Burger, with parmesan fries, and said it was one of the top two best burgers he’s ever eaten, and the fries were crispy and delicious. We tried the walnut cake for dessert, and we were not disappointed. It was phenomenal. My son was coming over for dinner the next night, so we brought home walnut cake, brownies, and orange cake for him to try. All of them were amazing. I also have to say that the service was impeccable!

My hubby ordered a steak omlette with potatoes and toast. The egg was cooked hard and had no seasoning. The toast was hard and was not buttered. I ordered chicken and waffles. The waffles were delicious. They served 2 chicken patties with the waffles. That was very disappointing. What happened to the wings?? I wanted to patronize this establishment but I think I am one and done. Service was great. Great customer service. They just need a better cook.

This is my new favorite place to grab dinner. The food is always good, staff is friendly and accommodating without being intrusive. They have done a good job in turning a diner into a cozy dinner venue. They also serve breakfast. My favorite is the little bowl of chips they give you instead of bread. They are homemade and so good! Pricing is about what you would expect to pay in Northern NJ.

This is such a great place! We are in town for our daughter’s college orientation and were looking for places to eat. This came up and the reviews were so good so we tried it out. It is a stand alone restaurant in an adorable downtown area. Our waitress was super friendly. She read specials for the evening. We had tuna tartar and crab stuffed mushrooms, mushrooms were a special. Appetizers came out right away and were delicious. For main meals we had pasta bolognese, steak frites, shrimp tacos and carbonara burger. It was all amazing. Highly recommend this place!! If in the area try it out we are definitely going to come back!

This place is truly the best. The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection. The service is superb. We have frequented Verona American Grill many times and it never disappoints. Recently, I had the wagyu burger and it was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. How anyone can provide a negative review is just astonishing to me. Harry and his staff are the absolute best!

Great food in a friendly atmosphere. The lemon chicken orzo soup is the best I’ve ever had! The brunch is delicious. The servers are all friendly. The owner, Hari, treats you like family (and in a good way!)

The food is always on point. The owner has become a staple of the community. He remembers repeat guests and is so kind to every child who walks in. Makes me feel good to spend money in a place where the owner is present and invested in their business. The employees remember you too. It’s just such a great spot.
It’s BYO which has been great when meeting a larger group.
It’s a chill place with an elevated menu. Hospitality is on point. Verona American grill is what you imagine a restaurant in a town like Verona to be. It’s not owned by a chain- and there’s always a familiar face/neighbor to say hi to on the way to your table.
