The Veranda is a restaurant that operates out of a former mansion at 2220 Highland Avenue on the corner of 11th Court South in Southside.
The 7,000 square foot residence was constructed in 1917. It was later converted into an attorney's office, and then a 275-seat restaurant, first The Pillars, and then The Veranda (-2005). It occupies a 13,600 square-foot lot with a driveway cutting the corner and a fenced parking and service bay in the rear.
The Veranda and all it's furnishings and equipment were sold at absolute auction on June 6, 2005 by Granger Thagard & Associates. The buyer was Darryl Borden who closed Bombay Cafe to reopen the restaurant as Veranda on Highland in 2007. Borden added Papa's, a separate bar and lounge to complement the more formal dining rooms.
