Daytime Menu
Verna's menu draws from two culinary traditions that have more in common than you'd think — Japanese comfort food and New Orleans creole classics. The result is something that feels both unexpected and completely familiar.
Everything is made from scratch, served daily 8am–3pm at 210 Louise Ave in Midtown Nashville.
