“Fantastic Gulf of America views, great food, super service, great array of frozen drinks! Nice way to eat and spend a leisurely afternoon!!”
“Had a wonderful lunch yesterday at Bodrum Restaurant along with 7 other ladies. Food was delicious and Tansel was a most charming server. Solicitous and humorous. Planning to attend their fashion show and luncheon in December.”
“Absolutely outstanding dinning experience the Gyro platter was the best flavor structured food in a long time. Great work from Paul and his team. Great to watch them hustle.”
“Sharky’s (and Fins) was the perfect surprise after a long drive and a Venice Beach sunset. The hostess recommended Fins, and it couldn’t have been better. We started with chilled lobster claws and Oyster Rockefeller — both incredible. My friend, who thought she didn’t like oysters, called them the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. We shared a petite filet cooked medium rare to perfection, paired with a glass of Pinot Noir that felt magical. The service was seamless, with both servers providing warmth, professionalism, and great energy. Combined with the amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the sunset over the beach, this experience completely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Jeremy the host was very welcoming and explained the difference between the dining room upstairs and the tavern/bar downstairs. This was our first visit and he suggested upstairs. We were sat at a lovely table outside overlooking the water. Our waitress Becky was very attentive professional and pleasant. The food did take longer than expected but overall the quality was very good.”
“My friend suggested we try out this restaurant today and it certainly was a good choice! We had the fish (cod) and chips, the fish was nice and flaky with a lovely beer batter. Fries were great and the homemade coleslaw very nice. Topped it off with "real" key lime pie. A lovely experience and we will be returning. Service was very good with Eric and Jim. Thank you!”

“Absolutely wonderful pizza and cannoli!. We will go back as it was an instant best for us. Pizza was laughter and very fresh with wonderful ingredients. Give this one a try!.”
“The BEST place ever!!!!! While visiting from New Mexico we had breakfast at Paris’s Coffee and Cannoli Bar. I grew up in Brooklyn NY and this place brought me back to my childhood. LOVE IT💖”
“Kurt and Brenda are two of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Their food is without a doubt the best lobster roll from Tallahassee to Miami Beach. I feel so blessed that we have them right here in town.”
“Another Great home cooked meal from my favorite restaurant in Florida. 5 Stars because everything was delicious, Again. All Fresh and home cooked meals. Wine and Beer only but 2ed bottle of wine is half-price. Only holds about 25-30 people, that's why you MUST have a reservation Be patient for your food because it is all made from scratch.”
“Simply great! Small, quaint, friendly staff, clearly a family endeavor! Good wine list, but the food was amazing. Beautiful presentation, fresh and delicious ingredients from start to finish!! We can’t wait to go back!”

“My family and I come here almost every week for wings and always enjoy the atmosphere. This time though Sierra went above and beyond and not only took care of us at our table but also ensured that we got our credit card that I forgot and she made sure we got got it.”
“While all servers here are excellent, we adore when we get Mikey as our server. His memory is wild and his service is always perfect. He anticipates our needs before we even realize we have them. Always pleased when we get seated in section. This place always has amazing service and wonderful food. One of our favorite places.”

“Kathy did a fantastic job as always. The food was superb and the management team with Marcell and Dan are outstanding. Marcell and Dan always make a point of stopping by. I love this place because of the people and the food. Great job. Kathy is awesome. Thanks for all you do. 5 star all the way.”
Outdoor Dining
“Outside tables in back of gas station/deli window but damn this is best Cuban sandwich I have ever had and can’t stop eating it. It’s loaded with a mild dill pickle that adds to the texture of the cuban seasoned meat. This is crack for lovers of Cuban food and who would have thought after visiting the store many times and never noticing until local referred me.”
“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!”
“One of my FAVORITE AUTHENTIC MEXICAN restaurants!! will drive 45 minutes out of our town to eat this delicious food! there is always a long wait at the doors for them to reopen at 430 too! they are that good!!”

“Last minute reservations for 6, fit us in it was our first visit but def not the last! Great service, the food was fantastic, I really would give them ten stars if I could! Highly recommend my new fav Italian spot!!”

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.”
“Love the food and the amazing service. The older gentleman that owns the place runs a tight ship. He’s always courteous and delivers good value for the money. Plus, they are one of the few Chinese restaurants in town that offers a poo poo platter. If you’re looking for a charming environment to eat in, this is not the place. This is more for people that are looking for quality Chinese food that’s either takeout or delivery.”
“The food was amazing. But I made a reservation for 8 at 7pm. Walked in and said told them I had a reservation she came over asked me my name then she answered then phone. After she got off the phone I asked if we could please sit outside and she said “ do you really want to do that I would have to move a table” She then said I have you set up in the back and led me to the back and walked away and said ya great in a smart manor. She was walking around talking to everyone so she must be some kinda lead I wouldn’t even call her a manager but yeah with that interaction me and my 350$ dinner bill will not be back.”
“I made a large group order for work on Saturday for about 20 people which I placed on Friday. The staff here is exceptionally friendly and very helpful. Placing the order was nice and easy and when I picked it up the next day everything was ready on time, they helped me load my car and packaged everything securely in boxes so there would be no leakage.
The food portions were plentiful and everyone absolutely loved their lunch!!! Thank you so much for making our Saturday lunch special.
You have a great team and amazing food!!”
“We held our wedding reception at the restaurant. We had the mezzanine to ourselves for a small party of 12. Fantastic food wine and service.”
“Walk into this Gem of a wine bar on the island of Venice and experience wines from Italy, France, Spain. Paired with exquisite food made by the owner Carmel. Enjoy charcuterie boards, pairing dinners, and some exquisite desserts. Excellent restaurant and highly recommended.”
“We visited for the first time today while in the area. Always heard to check the restroom to know what a restaurant really is like lol. Well I had to and found it to be very clean and smelled clean and fresh. On to our meal. I totally enjoyed the whole belly clams meal with a delicious slaw and subbed corn on the cob for the fries as I typically don’t eat fries. Those clams were wonderful, large juicy and flavorful. The corn was fresh and sweet and the slaw was perfect to my taste. I enjoyed a sangria with my meal. Enjoyed every bite. My husband is a self proclaimed oyster aficionado, he ordered a dozen raw on the half shell. He proclaimed them to be perfect. He was impressed that they were fresh, plump, and sufficiently briny. He really enjoyed them fully. He also had the red beans and rice meal along with a beer and said it was good food. So thumbs up Shuck N Ale. We had to be there for a doctor visit that took us 45 minutes to drive there to Venice, but hubby says it’s worth a drive that long to come for the food anytime. See you again! By the way the staff were friendly and the food was delivered promptly so thumbs up for that as well. The music was just beginning as we were leaving.”

“Waited at least 20 minutes for a table outside. They were crowded as usual. Waited 5 minues for Jennifer to bring us coffee and water. She said she'd be right back for order. 15 minutes later others were seated, and actually served. Our waitress rook the order fir a couple who had just been seated and then took ours. I complained to the hostess who took off our coffees. The waitress apologized for serving the other couple first. She didn't understand that we had waited an additional 20 minutes to PLACE our order. I never complain, I've been wait staff. The wait staff there has always been fabulous until today. She is clueless.”
“Great food and better at atmosphere!!! Burgers are best in town!”

“Haven't had Pho in long time and haven't been able to get up there. Was glad to see can now do "delivery". The Pho was amazing. Very happy it was in different containers (noodles, broth, basil, jalapenos, etc.) Nice large portions. The Shrimp Summer Roll (Goi Cuon) was very nice, fresh, and 2 large rolls. Because of size, next time will ask for more of the very nice peanut sauce. Again...LOVE the Pho and rolls and look forward to making it up to the restaurant. Thank You!!!”
“We were introduced to Obee's while visiting family that lives in Venice, and now we make it a point to eat there whenever we're visiting. This time we ate there twice during a week. Their bread, meats and condiments and salads are fresh and their subs taste like the best New England subs!”
“I have spent 36 of my 49 years in FL. I personally think that Florida is way better than every other state, except for a few "up north foods". Bagels don't ever measure up... UNTIL SATURDAY. We had a birthday brunch, and we bought bagels from Cafe Bagel !Absolutely delicious. Chewy, like up north, but also with that nice "crisp" bite. I'm so excited about finding this place, especially since the prices are great too. I HIGHLY recommend!”
“My wife and I went here last Friday evening when we were still in Venice: we had a wonderful meal, excellent service & a fun atmosphere we will definitely be back.”

“We love all the Tequila resturants ...Blue...Pink...Lime and now the Venice Pineapple Tequila that recently opened. We went to dinner tonight with friends there and had a great meal. We had about a 30 minute wait but well worth the wait time. Our server Yalitzaly was wonderful...she was super friendly and did a phenomenal job taking care and serving us. She was very experienced and accommodating ....I would say she is a super good valuble employee that cares about the resturants customers. Thanks Yalitzaly for making our night enjoyable and the desert was awesome ! Rap & Mary Peavy”
“I love everything about this restaurant..the moment you walk in you feel that you are at a friend’s house..the greeting and the feel of cleanliness makes me want to sit down for a visit..and of course the salads are amazing…the value for the quality, freshness and size are the trifecta! So glad you are right around the corner!”
“Outstanding! In the hospitality industry, the objective is to create a pleasant experience for the patron. Food or service is just a tool to do that. Each transaction may be small $$, but the pleasant experience will generate return visits. A shout out to Brandy and Tiffany, as well as the others. Well-staffed. Attentive. Reasonable prices. This place is the model of how to do it right!”
“Dinner was OK nothing to brag about .. we were asked to move leave after paying the bill.. I've worked in alot of restaurants and never did this to a party...”
“I have been going to Leone’s since 2016 and always have a great dining experience, today was no exception with a great meal in a friendly environment.”
