On The Verandah

Wonderful service from Daniel. The food was beautifully presented & tasted incredible. Be prepared to spend a good amount but highly recommend. Perfect for a romantic celebration.

The food was fantastic. The wine selection is very large and varied. We went to celebrate a special occasion and the atmosphere was unrushed and welcoming, the view was quiet and peaceful, the live music in the background was exactly the right volume to lend itself to just unwinding and enjoying wine while staring at the water. We are already looking forward to going back.

All three courses were delightful. My grouper and my wife’s scallops were perfectly cooked! Our waiter, Alexis, took great care of us, and we were given a fantastic table to celebrate our 5th anniversary!

The food was excellent, and even on a stormy cold evening, the Verandah was beautiful by the lake.

Update 10/21/2024 Back in Highlands and back to The Verandah for another delicious dinner! A huge thank you to Carissa and everyone who made our evening so great. Below is my previous review from April and I stand by every word!!! It’s nice to know one can revisit a reputable establishment that consistently meets expectations. Thank you again. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!! ***Review from April 2024 —Wow! Just wow! Great food, great staff, and a great atmosphere. The evening view of the lake was spectacular. From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and that set the tone for the evening. The view from our table overlooking the lake could not have been better -And the food!! We had the Calamari, Caesar salad, Filet Mignon, and the Halibut. Every dish was delicious! I will definitely be visiting again soon. The staff were friendly, helpful, and attentive. A huge thanks to all for making it a great evening.

We had a delicious meal here for my 50 birthday. From cocktail to creme brulee, we highly enjoyed everything. Service was great as well. Not sure if this would be a good restaurant for a sunset dinner as it was late when we arrived, but the restaurant itself was lovely. We had a reservation but there was plenty of seating open at 7.30pm on a Sunday evening.

We have been talking about going to On the verandah for the last couple of years and finally made it. Wow. It did not disappoint. Great atmosphere. Beautiful on the lake. Amazing service and the food was amazing. Highly recommend. A new go to place on the Plateau!!!!

Incredible food and location on the shore of Lake Sequoyah. We have been coming to OTV for a 30 years and it doesn’t disappoint. The horseradish encrusted Halibut special is melt-in-your mouth delicious and they have an excellent wine by the glass selection. Sitting at the bar while having a cocktail and appetizer is a relaxing evening with great service. Check out the specials board for innovative appetizers like grilled grapes and whipped feta.
