    We arrived at a very busy time on Saturday evening & were glad we booked a table. Service was friendly & helpful and the food & cocktails were good. Although there were a couple of noisy groups the atmosphere was good & the ambience improved when they cleared out for the club bingo. A lively fun & enjoyable couple of hours pre theatre.

    Waitress was attentive. Food was lovely and fresh. Cocktails had too much ice so diluted the flavour and made it look like you had more than you did. Also the deal on 2 Cocktails was not on the bill which was annoying. Took a bit too long to get the bill and after paying and leaving realised we were charged incorrectly for the Cocktails.

    This was my first time visiting Verve for lunch. I arrived with a friend and we were greeted warmly at the doors and taken to our table. We were given a couple of options for menu's including their all day menu and their lunch specials menu. The waitress that served us was very sweet and accommodating and I didn't feel we waited long for our food. The food was delicious and well priced. I definitely want to return to try their other dishes and would like to attend for dinner next time to see if there is a different vibe as it was quite quiet when we attended, however this was in the middle of the afternoon and during the week so that may be why. However we both had a lovely time and will definitely be coming back!

    Good food, delicious drinks but service could be improved. Be aware that if you book late, or food gets delayed, you may end up drinking in the dark with music very loud

    Absolutely love what you lot do! Cocktails are the best in town, pizzas even more delicious than last time. Service is always great, amazing to see young energetic staff excited about hospitality. Shout out to the lad who served us last night and made us 'off menu' cocktails - even ran to grab more fresh oranges to make them. Seriously, keep doing what you do guys. I'll be raving about you to everyone I know... thanks Wes & team!
