Upon entering The Verge, you’ll notice that it has a comfortable atmosphere – combining the ambiance of an upscale martini bar with the coziness of overstuffed couches. It’s a great place to spend time with old friends or meet new ones.

For those who have visited The Verge before, you’ll notice that they’ve recently updated their menu – keeping customer favorites such as butter chicken and the Italiano wrap, and adding some new items like potato skins and chicken fingers.

Rather than offering the deep-fried foods you’d find in many restaurants, The Verge offers healthy, but flavorful alternatives to popular menu items.

When tasting foods for this review, I sampled the chicken fingers. Although they were baked instead of deep-fried, they had a crunchy outside were moist inside. The Verge’s chicken fingers make a perfect appetizer, or evening snack.

I then experienced their fresh approach to chicken stir-fry. The Chef, nicknamed "Tree", adds a contemporary twist to this dish. By combining various spices with chicken, red cabbage, zucchini, carrots and cauliflower and serving it on a bed of rice with sesame seeds and chow mien noodles on top, The Verge serves up a unique and tasty creation. Definitely not your typical Chinese stir-fry.

For dessert, Tree recommends indulging in the Chocolate Fondue. Featuring fresh fruit and decadent chocolate, this is perfect for sharing amongst two or three people. The Sundae, also a popular choice, comes with fresh fruit and chocolate sauce. And yes, there is even a cherry on top.

Whether you’re craving a snack or wanting a full meal, The Verge is an excellent choice for healthy, flavorful dishes in a comfortable, friendly environment.
