New American Restaurants near Englewood, FL

“We enjoyed a wonderful meal and experience at Magnolias last night with friends visiting from Texas! Everyone did a wonderful job from the fellas who valeted our car to the receptionist, and the bartenders and an extra special shout-out to our server, Tyra! And the food was fabulous—the best Sea bass we have ever tasted!“

“The food here is excellent! The mussels and the mahi with lump crab was delicious. The Asian pecan chicken salad is also a favorite. We love to dine at the bar where both bartenders are extremely attentive and friendly. Our go to favorite place by far when we come from RI ! Love it!“

“It was not a long wait and it was Sunday morning. Have a great selection of food. It was not a long wait for your order. Friendly service, and the prices are not over the top. Nice portion not to much and exceptional not to small ? this lived up to what all the reviews say. It’s a must stop?“

“I came here with the intention of ordering a burger. They had gotten good reviews and I wanted to try them out.Our server greeted us pleasantly and then made up a table of my wife's choosing. As we were being seated, our server let us know about the grouper specials. My wife and I both decided to have the grouper Reuben sandwich with tater tots. The sandwiches were delicious and I recommend them if you are in the area.When it was time to go, my wife asked for something other than styrofoam for the doggie bag and once again the server was very accommodating. Overall a very good experience.“

“Incredible wine selection, amazing friendly service, cozy atmos- don’t think you’d need more for a “wine down” day to be honest.The owner Carmel is such a sweetheart and warm & welcoming from get go !She knows her wine and her collection speaks for itself.Try the charcuterie board to go with your favorite pick or her pick for you.Either way it will all work out good here in Venice, FL.Vegetarian options: She could do more veggies & fruit in her board. Feel free to ask.“

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!“

“I am fairly new to town, moved here in October but have been loving trying all the local restaurants. Most are fairly decent, but at the same time very loud. So, it was so nice to find this restaurant off the beaten path that has it all! First, greeted by Host and for the first time actually greeted, he made eye contact the moment we walked in, smiled and welcomed us and gave us a selection of seating. It was warm and inviting very relaxing atmosphere. Service was practically instant! From the menus, waters and offered drinks while we looked at menu. I was very impressed, the entire staff was welcoming, polite and professional. Now onto the real reason we are here, the FOOD! First, I need to mention while we waited, they served us delicious warm bread, with sweet, seasoned butter and dipping oil. We didn't wait long which was a surprise for our food server to bring us our dishes. I didn't even taste it and knew it wasn't going to disappoint. I got the Chicken Marsala and My husband got the special which was the Chimichanga Texana Special. My husband let me have his first bite since I honestly couldn't decide between the two lol It was soooo Good! Yum! that should be offered on the main menu!! My Chicken Marsala was DELISH! It was served over Fettuccini and it exceeded my expectations! Was one of those meals you just keep eating because it's so good then you're stuffed. I still couldn't finish it the portion was so generous. Wish I hadn't stuffed myself after I saw the desserts! I guess we will need to add this to one of regular spots to try some. So, hats off to the Chef! We were very satisfied. And just like when we arrived the Host thanked us for coming, he was very gracious. So, from the moment we arrived until we left, we were very satisfied and will definitely be recommending them. AND making this one of our regular stops for Great food!“

“Decent place didn’t have the food. Coffee was very good. Rooms are very clean. The only problem I see is if there are an hour if you need towels, you have to go down and get them yourself because they have nobody working overnight to bring towels up to you if you need them or anything, oh it was a decent place to “

“I had lunch there one time and it happens to this salad on special, I believe it fanzo salmon salad with mango salsa it was so delicious! So i went back is not on the menu anymore! Then i ask the waitress about it if they will have it on regular menu, and she said it’s possible. Because there’s a lot of people asking for it she said. I called today and still dont have it on the menu.“
