Where to start. The restaurant chose to substitute side dishes at their whim without asking. Ordered tuna main course the portion would have been unacceptable as an appetizer let alone a main course. If they can get away with it they will, we chose to walk out. Be aware. Horrible experience. Will not return nor recommend. Big disappointment. Shame on... More

Been here three times now, always good. Fried calamares always a winner. Good wine list. Pleasant and attentive service from a garrulous young waiter.

Verve was once on our regular circuit of local restaurants but we moved further away from Somerville and haven’t been there for a few years so were glad to try it again with a group of friends just recently. First, as others have mentioned, parking is not the easiest and though the meters are free on weekend evenings just finding... More

OK place but seriously only Metered street parking across from the county court house. Perhaps evening and weekends okay but don't plan that weekday lunch unless you bring your track shoes. Some of the meters have a one hour limit. Restaurant attitude is sort of "no big deal". Otherwise okay.

This was our 2nd time at Verve. Besides us returning because we had a gift card, it was my birthday. The last time we ate at Verve was about 3 years ago, wew ould of come sooner if the prices were a little better. The food & service was great but the prices not so much. We would return again...

We were embarrassed since we brought 2 guests with us, that have never been to Verve, and this experience not only left a bad taste for us, the newcomers will never come back. When we... More

I live in town and was having dinner with some out of town guests. We decided to go into the Verve for after dinner drinks. The upstairs bar was being cleaned up from an earlier party. The downstairs area was not busy. We were told to wait 20 minutes while they cleaned the bar upstairs. The owner was sitting at... More

Verve is a cut above the average restaurant in Somerville. The chef puts out a lovely, short menu of delicious dishes and appetizers as well as a few daily specials. The Lobster Bisque and Seared Tuna are one of my favorites. They also have a very lively bar on most evenings and this can be a place where everyone knows... More

Nice local Steak house in Somerville. The owner, Rick is always present around the bar. The steaks are all prime cuts and the food and service is consistently good. I had the filet my guest had the rib eye bone in. Both steaks were cooked perfectly and the sides were plentiful to be shared by two. You have to walk... More
