The restaurant is a star in the neighborhood, getting better with age as each service person from the water boy to the manager glides around attentively to serve patrons. The wine list is small but select with generous pours. The food is delicious, with recommended dishes such as the duck breast and Parmigiano veal. While some may find the tasting menu disappointing in terms of value, overall the restaurant is a great, unpretentious neighborhood spot serving delicious food. The ambiance is cozy and comfortable, making it perfect for an evening out with friends. The menu may be limited, but the presentation of the food is beautiful. Despite the higher prices, the attentive service and attention to detail make the dining experience worth the cost. The open kitchen adds to the dynamic ambiance, making Vernick a must-visit spot in Rittenhouse Square.
My friends and I keep going back to this place for their yummy food, we love the restaurant's use of seasonal vegetables with a modern take. It's a fine dining experience! Great place for a night cap too. The place has a very clean, modern, and classic look to it. Staff is welcoming and attentive to your needs.
This restaurant is popular, with many people often dining there, so it's best to make a reservation at certain times. The food takes a while to come out, and the service is slow, but the staff are very attentive to detail, such as refilling water at the table and changing the cutlery multiple times, which I appreciate. The prices are on the higher side, for example, it cost $72 per person for a party of four. One dish I highly recommend is the toast with white sauce, which I believe is made with cheese and a delicious balsamic glaze.
Located in the bustling Rittenhouse Square, Vernick offers a sophisticated dining experience that celebrates American culinary heritage. The perfectly cooked sea bream, with its crispy skin and tender flakes, showcases the beauty of simplicity. The open kitchen adds to the vibrant atmosphere, allowing guests to witness the culinary magic firsthand. Don't miss the butterscotch budino for a delectable dessert. With a carefully selected wine menu and impeccable service, Vernick is a destination not to be missed.
Even though the food menu was not very large, but the food was very good. My favorite was the scallop.. yes single scallop.. it was very tasty. Also they gave us a cucumber chilled soup as a starter and sweet bread was very good. My next favorite was thegrilles squash. It was just the right amount of sweetness and little sour. Yum. Beef tartar and spaghetti were good, too. Nothing special. We shared the main dish half Chicken. That was pretty good. Very tender, and full of flavor. Finally drinkreview: black lily. Wow.. it was good!! I got happy very quickly. IT was strong, but good flavor. It was mix of cognac, rum,honey and peat.
I’ve heard many good things about this restaurant, and I was excited to try it. The reservation was easy to make on a weekday. We ordered a few appetizers that were fresh and well prepared. The presentation of the food was beautiful. One thing Ididn’t like is that the food selection is limited, but drink menu is bigger than the food menu. Also, they use arctic charinstead of salmon for the crudo. For such a nice restaurant like this, I think it would be nice if they don’t substitute thecheaper version of salmon. It’s a great place to open a bottle of wine with friends and share some delicious food. If youlike good wine and nice ambiance, this is your place :
