“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!“

“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.“

She gave me a good hug yesterday. I will continue to patronize them.“

“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.“

“My family and I ate at Old Salty Dog in Venice Friday and were blown away at the quality of the food, the fantastic prices, and most importantly the hospitality of the staff. The frisbee plates for the kids meals were such a cute and appreciated touch! Linda P was our waitress and she was amazing! She was on point with everything and was such a hoot! I’ve been vacationing in FL for almost 30 years and this restaurant is by far and away the best food and value I’ve found in YEARS. I cannot recommend enough and CAN’T WAIT to return!“

“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!“

“Me and my friends come here almost every Friday for happy hour. Sydney & Leland (hope I spelled those right!) are awesome. They have our drink orders memorized and always make happy hour fun for us.“

“You can't beat the bacon cheeseburger special or chicken sandwich special. Both are delicious. The Sunday day bartender is awesome!! I think her name is Tamia (?) Sorry if I got it wrong, she has been there the last couple of Sundays. She is friendly, engaging, and a worker! She is always running food to tables. Definitely knows what teamwork is!“

“Most places closed but Bob Evans was serving a limited but varried menu. The quality was very good as normal. The wait staff was working exceptionally hard. The hurricane Milton was hard on everyone. Bob Evans brought a bit of normalcy back unexpectedly. Very well done!“

Way to go Team Venezia, thank you so much for all you've done, I appreciate you! 😊“
