If you have a special occasion to celebrate, Verse should be your choice. We celebrated my b-day, and so did the table next to us and an anniversary two tables away. I gave 5 stars in all areas except the value, and only because the menu is quite pricey. We ordered Melamente, Pancho and MADD city cocktails; excellent creations. Following most of the reviews, we had the milk buns and octopus as appetizers. For dinner entrees, husband ordered the Branzino and I Crab Capanelli. We were not disappointed with the appetizers. Milk buns melt in your mouth; the whipped brown butter has the perfect sweetness. The octopus was cooked perfectly; so tender. I don't know how the chef came up with all the different sauces on the octopus but oh so delicious. So husband was a little disappointed with the Branzino as it was fairly plain when compared to the octopus. The crab capanelli was cooked al dente and the sauce was creamy with the right amount of saltiness. The toasted almonds added the unexpected crunch and well combined with the richness of the sauce. The only neg here is that it was difficult to locate the crab; the chef should really double up on the amount. Service was excellent as expected; ambiance - not too dark with just enough lighting to read the menu; and the live band added extra points to this special occasion. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

Verse is a must-visit. Everything was incredible. Entrance: super cool, semi-secret. Hostess/welcome: very warm, inviting. Ambience/lighting/atmosphere: calm, intimate, on darker side but in a good way. Server (Dawson): efficient, kind, knowledgeable, patient and fun energy. Drinks: creative and deliciously complex -- the rosé was unlike any we've tried, so good; and the MAAD City cocktail was fantastic. Food: octopus starter was perfect, lamb pasta unique and delicious, oyster mushroom side scrumptious. Dessert & coffee: we got the flourless cake with caramel ice cream and wow, so good; coffee is a simple thing normally, but this felt special--delicious decaf americano. Overall we were blown away, it exceeded expectations!

Amazing experience and ambiance with food I will continue to think about for a while. The stand out of the night -- the dry aged duck breast melts in your mouth while still having a delicious crisp on the edges and a wonderful blend of sweet and savory. I can't wait for another occasion to come back and try more.
