This place has the best food, service and ambiance for a date night. The food was magnificent and unfortunately ate to much of the delicious bread to even think about having desert. Next time I will pace myself better. Definitely on the radar for another date night with the wife.

The salmon was nicely cooked and very tender. It came with fried rice that was also cooked correctly. I loved the bread that was served. John the waiter was excellent and was always there for us. I would not get the blackberry tart for desert. The taste was less than expected.

I had the pleasure of dining at Verve during the holiday season where they had decorated the entire restaurant and then a group of carolers came in and sang a few songs. It was a wonderful Christmas experience, as were their cocktails! Highly recommend!

Luxurious, relaxing atmosphere inside this swank, two-level restaurant that radiates Manhattan vibes but with small-town, Main Street smiles. Welcoming and personal service with attentive, friendly staff that sets the tone for finely done plates and cocktails that match the price points. A splendid venue for date nights and anniversaries, with a cool, lush vibe that’s approachable and unpretentious alongside the class. The specials were worth trying, and the cocktails and wine poured strong. Seafood a plus. Vegetable apps were rich. Fun deserts and all the after-dinner aperitifs you’d expect.

I randomly parked in front of this place after visiting a client. It was right around happy hour, and saw a sign on the building that said they were voted the ‘best bar in New Jersey.’ So of course, I consulted the Google reviews, which were very positive. And since I hadn’t had lunch,I went in and sat at the bar. I had 2 Negronis which were perfect. The octopus appetizer was a 9.8 out of 10. Then I ordered the Parisian Gnocchi based on the bartender Jamie’s recommendation. It also tasted awesome..They were like little pillows of mashed potatoes, in a potato and leek cream sauce. I devoured it. Props to Jamie as she was super friendly, attentive, and thorough, and seems that she works this way because she loves what she does. Then.. Jamie asked me what was next and I informed her that I was a Tequila/Mezcal guy. So she asked me to trust her for my next cocktail.. which ended up having artichoke liquor and something pomegranate. It was really delicious, unique and complex. I would definitely return here, and look forward to doing so the next time I’m in the area..as there are many other dishes on the menu that sounded delicious. Classy joint all the way with no pretense.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience at Verve! Our server, EJ, was incredibly attentive, kind, and helpful—he truly elevated the entire evening. We sampled a variety of dishes, including the oysters, sunshine dumplings, calamari, mac and cheese, pork belly, escargots, truffle fries, duck, and steak au poivre—each one more delicious than the last. For dessert, we indulged in the cheesecake and chocolate ganache cake, both of which were phenomenal. The cocktails were just as impressive. The Verve Manhattan was a personal favorite, but the jardin Fume, Crimson Sunset, and 50 Shades of Pink were all refreshingly delicious as well. Highly recommend—everything was spot on!

My dad, sister, and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Verve, and let me tell you, it was an experience to remember! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the elegant yet cozy ambiance. The decor was a perfect blend of modern chic and classic charm, making it a delightful setting for our family outing. We began our meal with the charcuterie board, which was an absolute feast for the senses. The selection of cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and accompaniments was both diverse and exquisite. Each bite offered a new combination of flavors, and we couldn't get enough of the perfectly paired condiments and fresh bread. Next up, we indulged in the truffle mac and cheese, which was nothing short of heavenly. The rich, creamy sauce was infused with just the right amount of truffle, creating a luxurious dish that was both comforting and sophisticated. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the crispy breadcrumb topping added a delightful crunch. Our salads were equally impressive, showcasing fresh, vibrant ingredients that were expertly dressed and beautifully presented. Each salad was a testament to the quality and care that Verve puts into their dishes, offering a refreshing and flavorful complement to the heartier items on our table. Throughout our meal, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that our dining experience was flawless from start to finish. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home and added a personal touch to our evening. Overall, our visit to Verve was a fantastic dining experience. The combination of exceptional food, stunning atmosphere, and top-notch service made for a memorable night out with my family. We left feeling satisfied and eager to return, knowing that Verve has set a new standard for our dining adventures.

Stopped by the bar at Verve in Somerville and had an amazing experience. The bartenders were not only friendly and welcoming, but truly skilled at what they do. You can tell they take pride in their craft—every drink was made with care, balance, and creativity. The vibe in the bar area was relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind and enjoy a well-made cocktail. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to. Highly recommend for anyone who appreciates quality drinks and great service!
