I am so excited this restaurant is expanding and renovating. My family and I went for a NYE dinner and the service was phenomenal. Although we missed the NYE celebration, the staff still treated us well and made sure we had a great night. Everyone had a phenomenal meal which means a lot because my dad himself is a chef so he is very picky when eating at other restaurants. Finally, the decor was very cozy and clean which we all appreciated. The waitress told us they would be closed because they plan to expand their outdoor seating so I'm very excited to see how Vern comes back in the summer!

I had my wedding reception here in January of 2026. The Vern team was absolutely FANTASTIC to work with! Joann went above and beyond throughout the entire process, from recommending excellent vendors (flowers, DJ, photography) to making great suggestions for how to best set up the venue (which we listened to and were so grateful we did). My family and I after every interaction with Joann were left saying "well she's awesome." Plus they close during the winter, so we got the entire venue to ourselves by default which was an unexpected bonus. The catering menu was excellent with a variety of selections including off-menu food options for the kids. The entire staff that was onsite (bartender, chefs, servers) were delightful. I cannot say enough good things about Joann and her team. If you're considering doing an event here, DO IT! You won't regret it!

My dining companion and I decided to go for lunch instead. Vern doesn’t take reservations for groups under five people, so we hoped for the best when we showed up around lunchtime on a Saturday. As we entered, there was only one other party and they were sitting at the bar, so we were able to sit wherever we wanted in the dining room.Our waitress, Wafa, who appears to also be the bartender greeted us and took our drink orders. We were informed that they don’t have a drink menu available because they’re in the process of switching to their seasonal drink menu, but Wafa recommended the sangria and old fashioned, so we ordered one of each. The sangria was good and the old fashioned was delivered with an aromatic wooden lid that secured a smoky layer atop the drink. The drinks was quite good and we would order both drinks again.For appetizers, we couldn’t decide between oysters and calamari, so we asked Wafa to surprise us. We were certainly surprised when she brought both appetizers to the table. After we explained the mixup Wafa offered to take one of the appetizers off of the meal. The oysters were delicious, but could’ve used bread for absorbing some of the buttery cream. Thankfully Wafa accommodated our request for bread. In my option the oysters should always be served with bread. The calamari was okay. The sweet chili glaze was a bit much and I would’ve preferred if it were served on the side so I could either dip the pieces or pour on the amount of sauce that I prefer.For my entree, I ordered the duck, as recommended by Wafa. The sides (potatoes, spinach, and broccoli… which was substituted for mixed veg) were the real standouts. The duck had a nice crispy exterior but the meat was completely flavorless. It was served with an orange sauce which didn’t do much to bring life to the duck. I was told that this was one of their most popular dishes and I don’t understand why.My companion ordered the lobster taco entree with truffle fries. This meal received high marks, but they felt that the green peppers in the pico were slightly overpowering and distracting, but still enjoyed the meal.We will definitely return to Vern and are thrilled to discover such a great dining experience in our community.
