I recently hosted a private event for 55 people at Vera DC, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! The staff was absolutely amazing, and the food was delicious—my guests are still raving about it. Milena, the private events coordina...
tor, was so helpful, personable, and wonderful to work with throughout the planning process. She made everything so easy! Anthony, our DJ, was incredible and kept the energy high the whole night. If you’re looking for a fantastic venue with excellent service, Vera DC is the place to go! Im looking forward to hosting more events here.

I am beyond grateful to everyone who made our all-white day party engagement celebration an unforgettable experience! The room was filled with love, laughter, and joyful tears, and the team behind the scenes curated an event that exceeded all e...
xpectations. The atmosphere was vibrant, full of warmth, and brimming with energy.
The restaurant even went the extra mile to curate a special drink menu featuring my fiancé’s and my favorite cocktails. Every drink was both beautiful and delicious, and our guests are still raving about the "Vamos Habibi" drink! It was the perfect fusion of our cultures, adding an extra personal touch to an already magical day.
The music, featuring a lively mix of Top Hits, traditional Lebanese dabke and Latin tunes, kept everyone dancing all day long. DJ Anthony created the perfect vibe, and I will forever cherish the memory of seeing my grandma dance for hours and my grandfather, recovering from a stroke, get up to join in. The energy in the room was simply contagious!
A huge thank you to Vera Cocina for being the ultimate venue to host our event. From the delectable food to the impeccable service, every detail was thoughtfully executed.
And of course, none of it would have been possible without the incredible Milena, the mastermind behind it all. She’s a true artist! From our first call, she completely understood my vision and turned it into reality, crafting a gorgeous event with delicious food, fantastic entertainment, and the most immaculate vibes, all while staying within budget.
I couldn’t have asked for a better venue or team to celebrate such a special day. Thank you for creating a day we’ll remember forever!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of hosting my friends at Vera for my birthday dinner. We had the private room on the main floor, everything from
start to finish was absolutely amazing. Milena was so accommodating with all my questions duri...
ng planning and was so sweet the night of, the servers in the room were so professional and attentive to our group, no ones glasses ever went empty throughout the night. The details of the food presentation were extraordinary and everything was both photo worthy and delicious. A few guests (including myself) had dietary restrictions and the staff were so helpful making those aware of what they could and couldn’t eat. I can’t wait to go back to Vera and experience their brunch.
Since we were on the main floor we were able to see the behind the scenes of the venue space Culture getting set up for the evening show (which some of our group was staying for) that was a cool almost ‘VIP’ experience. The overall atmosphere for both spaces was so welcoming and me and my friends have already made plans for future shows.

This is a rare time that a restaurant is a 5 star in food, service and atmosphere. Everything we ordered tasted great- the labneh, hummus were amazing appetizers and the entres that we tried were pretty amazing too. - the burgers, salmon avocad...
o toast and haloumi sandwich were amazing. The pistachio tree leches was a highlight.
The service and dances were definitely an added bonus and made the vibe even better.
