On the Verandah features a unique array of appetizer and entrée recipes from the world over. Specialties from the fine cuisines of Asia, Europe and the Americas are brought to you via the extensive travels and research of owners Alan, Marta and Andrew Figel and Marlene Alvarez.

We use the freshest ingredients available, and in season, use locally-grown produce and herbs from our garden. Menu items always include chicken, seafood, fresh fish and filet mignon with OTV's signature flavorful sauces and spices. To complement the appetizers and entrées, indulge in one of our many desserts - crafted by our pastry chef, Sid Jackson, who has been creating all our scrumptious offerings for the past 22 years. Whether a napoleon, seasonal fruit pie, luscious cheesecake or our famous crème brulée, the end of your meal is as delicious as the beginning! Spicy Thai Coconut Ginger-Shrimp

In addition to our regular menu choices, daily specials feature the freshest meats, poultry and fish available - all prepared with the OTV touch! Some of the selections you may find on the menu when you visit us (not all items are available everyday):
