Visitor Testimonials (354)

We visited this place for the first time and were impressed right from the start. The location is convenient, the décor is beautiful, and the atmosphere is vibrant. All our servers were kind and welcoming. The drinks were well made and not overly sugary like some other places especially the alcoholic ones, which were perfectly balanced. Portion sizes were generous too. However, there was a pricing discrepancy that slightly dampened the evening. As someone familiar with how charges and fees work, I noticed the issue right away and brought it to the attention of the person in charge. Thankfully, they addressed it quickly when I went to the counter I can see the gentleman reaction wasn’t pleasant eventually error was corrected , which I really appreciated. Special shout out to Basil for his excellent service. Although we didn’t get a chance to catch the show, the overall experience was great, and I’d definitely give them another shot!

I had a wonderful dining experience at Versac! The atmosphere was warm, with attentive and friendly staff. The food was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor.

If there was more than a 5 star review I would give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I visited this place with some friends, and we all had an amazing experience! Our server, Katrynna, truly made our time special. She was incredibly welcoming and friendly, making us feel right at home. Even though my friends typically don’t write reviews, I felt compelled to share our experience because she went above and beyond in showing us what true hospitality looks like. Katrynna really set the bar high, and I'm so glad I had the chance to meet her. Thank you, Katrynna, for your outstanding service—you truly deserve this recognition!

Such an incredible experience. Will definitely return. The atmosphere is so pristine and classy. Great for a date night or dinner with friends. Our server was absolutely wonderful.

Staff is super friendly, food is delicious and well made, and the hookah was smooth and perfect! Music was also all arabic bangers Honestly one of the best shisha places i've been to here.

WOW! This place is just something else. From the minute I walked in I was very impressed with how beautiful the place is just the tables, the wall papers, the lighting, the decorations, even the washrooms, so beautiful! I ordered the lemon mint slush, the grape leaves, and the fattoush and it was all so amazing and tasted so authentic. Definitely better than most places i've tried.
