I had a chance to eat at the veranda recently, something i have been dreading since the last time i went there when i had an undercooked chicken breast on my salad. The seating was quick and prompt the servers were very kind...and to my surprise, the food was perfect. This caught me completely off guard, The Tilapia Florentine was light and flakey with a perfect sauce over the top of it. All of its components were, For the first time since id been there, cooked delicately and to perfection. I asked My waiter to meet the chef who prepared my meal and to my surprise, it was a young TCA student named Jason Hinojosa. After talking to some colleaguesof mine from the Le Cordon Bleu School I came to learn just how young he was. At just 17 that young man has turned the kitchen from bar food to delicate plates with passion behind them, I recommend this restaraunt if not for the food then a chance to experience the cooking of an up and coming chef.
Pros: New Chefs, new waitstaff
Cons: Seemed to be alot of confusion between waitstaff and management
