Read
on
for
FULL
explanation
of
a
4
star
rating.
In
short
-
if
you’ve
never
been,
this
is
a
5
star
culinary
experience.
If
you’ve
been
dining
with
them
since
their
early
days
in
Delaware
-
I
miss
the
early
days.
Overall,
you
will
find
this
an
unique,
flavorful
small
plate
dining
extravaganza.
Dishes
you’ve
never
seen
or
heard
of
and
will
never
see
again.
(See
photos
following).
The
early
days,
Veritas
was
a
small
bar
/
restaurant
with
4
tables
and
bar
seating.
The
original
staff
was
awesome.
The
chefs
would
come
out
to
greet
you
and
allow
a
little
sample
of
something
at
times
(or
maybe
that
is
partly
because
we
frequented
the
place).
Always
some
faves
on
the
menu
(mushroom
toast,
scallops,
the
desserts
were
off
the
charts,
the
egg
served
at
an
exact
temperature
on
top
of
risotto
that
you’d
stir
so
precisely
to
make
this
incredible
result).
And
I’m
ALL
for
new
items
and
rotating
menu,
but
some
of
the
fun
and
character
is
lost.
Unable
to
send
“kool-aid”
to
the
kitchen
(shots
to
the
chef
-
again,
maybe
that’s
why
they
came
to
visit).
The
drink
menus
are
simpler.
Used
to
have
some
fabulous
smoked
drinks
that
were
inspiring
to
watch
being
made.
Etc.
other
odd
thing
to
miss…the
old
Veritas
appeared
to
get
all
its
plates
and
serving
ware
from
rummage
sales.
While
that
sounds
crazy,
it
brought
part
of
the
eclectic
party
to
the
occasion
where
every
plate,
saucer
and
glass
was
different
and
having
its
own
back
story
of
how
it
came
to
move
from
your
great
grandmothers
antique
case
to
now
presenting
this
delectable
dish
in
front
of
you.
Veritas
made
a
great
business
decision
to
take
their
concept
downtown
and
expand.
4
tables
and
bar
certainly
made
it
difficult
to
expand.
It’s
a
great
venue
and
nice
bar
above.
(Same
owner)
but
again
that
bar
is
simpler
in
terms
of
exotic
and
hand
crafted
cocktails.
Used
to
love
all
the
little
jars
of
bitters
and
one-offs
they
would
create
and
especially
when
Tristan
would
smoke
the
drinks
for
you.
It’s
a
set
menu
(during
Covid
at
least)
and
you’re
able
to
pick
from
three
options
for
approx
4
of
your
courses.
Individuals
can
select
their
courses,
it
is
not
picked
by
the
table,
which
was
great.
Each
was
wonderful.
Again,
small
plate
style.
If
you
want
to
order
additional
course
you
may.
I
could
have
eaten
more.
$75
per
person.
And
figure
$100
per
with
one
drink
maybe
two.
Service
is
wonderful
and
each
course
explained
in
full.
In
the
end,
a
wonderful
dining
experience
that
ONLY
garners
a
4
star
from
me
personally
as
I
deeply
miss
the
old
nostalgia
of
the
original
along
with
it
quirks
and
oddities
That
made
it
so
special.
Thank
you
to
the
owner
for
keeping
on
with
the
high-end
small
plate
approach
and
yes…we
will
see
you
again
and
first-timers,
you
will
enjoy
it
and
talk
about
it.
