Veuve Noire - Rancho Cucamonga

Delicious food and drinks! However, it appears that they are a bit short-staffed.

Check-in at the restaurant was fairly straightforward, but make sure everyone in your group is present before you’re taken to your table. The ambiance is lovely, with excellent lighting. Our server was exceptionally friendly. Overall, it's a nice spot to relax and enjoy drinks with friends. However, the food could use some improvement; I was disappointed that they only offer appetizers and no main courses. The drinks were quite good, but be aware that if you order a special and don’t like it, they can’t remove it from your bill. I learned this after expressing my dislike for my drink to the server. It’s definitely something to keep in mind before ordering. Overall, it was an okay experience.

The atmosphere is relaxing and friendly; I would definitely visit again.

I had been coming here religiously for years before Covid and loved the mellow vibe and relaxing experience sipping on great drinks made be the talented bartenders. Now, it’s such a headache to go. It gets so loud in there with the larger parties that shout over one another, it takes half your reservation to get food brought to you and even then, they got rid of the charcuterie board. The only great thing about this place is the drinks. But the ambiance is horrible. They don’t want you talking on your phone so you won’t be too loud but I couldn’t even hear my fiancé sitting right next to me over all the loud parties. Drop the speakeasy/lounge shtick if you allow the noise level to be higher than the FOH in that little room. Just open it up as a second bar then.

We enjoyed our time and everyone was very friendly! Will definitely be coming back
