“The food was excellent. Fast, courteous service. Everything was served on time and well presented. The clam chowder and seafood bisque were fantastic. The smoke salmon plate was enough for my wife and I. Also, beautifully presented. We're definitely coming back. Oysters Rockefeller came with a hollandaise sauce. I was initially taken aback by this. I've never seen it before, but WOW, they were delicious. The view from the upstairs dining room was gorgeous and relaxing. Try it! You'll have a great time.“
“We love the local vib, great view, and typical grub. Like most, it gets very busy on weekends. The sunsets are, dare I say, spectacular. But all sunsets on the gulf are awesome. Live local musical artists add to the fun. Anyhow, go early, go late, just go.“
“Snook Haven was recommended by a friend, so we decided to give it a try. This is definitely a hidden location off the beaten path while driving in. We even saw a Bobcat. The restaurant nestled way back in the woods on the Myakka River. What an awesome location , You have 2 options. You can eat inside and be served or order your meal and sit outside by live music, We ordered the cat fish dinner with homemade chips, 2 sides option, and collard greens and a smash cheese burger with home made chips and a side salid , Thay have a homemade tomato relish that is unreal, our server Katie D. Was very friendly and informative. One thing I did notice is the whole staff is working with a smile , definitely a hidden jem a must visit. I forgot to mention. We also ordered the peach cobbler and a monster size brownie.“
“My husband and I had a wonderful dinner at Lucarellis recently. Everything was perfect...our waiter, Hunter, was personable, knowledgeable, and provided excellent service. I appreciated the pacing of our meal. We did not feel rushed as had been the case at another "highly rated" Italian eatery in downtown Venice the other night. We both enjoyed our Ceasar salads and entrees. My husband's seafood dish was delicious; my lasagna with meatball was fantastic. Generous portion of gelato and biscotti capped off a great meal. All in all a very enjoyable and relaxing dining experience!“
“We're at Royal Coachman RV Resort and we like to support the food trucks that come here, and tonight (Feb 21st) was the Maine Line's turn. We were not disappointed, not at all. We had the 16 oz serving of Clam Chowdah and enjoyed it. We know our chowders and, while this had its own characteristics, it was still excellent in flavour. Our only criticism was that it had a lot of potatoes versus clams, but the flavour was still there.Our next dishes were Mom's Lobster Roll. The amount of lobster was generous (the menu says 4 oz) and it was claw meat. We loved it. The mayo was sort of dabbed on top. One part of me says I would have preferred the lobster meat to be chopped up and mixed with the mayo - even if it loses something in its presentation. The other part of me says I had it as it was served and I really enjoyed it, so leave it alone.Small oversight. My lobster roll was missing its coleslaw, an oversight that can happen to anyone at any time. On the other hand, my wife's roll included the coleslaw, which she enjoyed. However, the serving was puny. Our suggestion, do away with the potato chips and increase the amount of coleslaw to 6-8 oz.You make the coleslaw whereas you buy the chips. Such a change would be better for you.All told - 10/10 stars!“
“I am from the Tampa Bay Area, in March 2024 I came to visit my Aunt and Uncle who were vacationing in Venice Beach. We decided to eat pizza and stopped by this cute pizzeria on the strip. We ordered a huge vegetarian pizza…my goodness, I have never had a pizza like this in my life…I am sure I will be taking a 2 hour trip soon to just to get this pizza!!!“
“Food was great although I would've expected a little better quality of the salad. Grouper was fantastic. Cocktails were made very very good. I loved everything about the place but a little pricey. Venice area with Miami South Beach prices. Would still recommend a visit. Nice place. Nice people. ?“
“Friendly staff. Greeted immediately and with a smile! Sat us outside so we could enjoy the live music as well as our meal. My wife had the Grilled Peach Salad and I had the Grilled Shrimp. Delicious on both counts! Definitely recommend this place. Will eat here next time we visit the area.“
“Wow! So delicious. This was our first time at the amazing restaurant. The food was great. The decor is so wonderful to look at .our Server, Jaidin was our server. He was so sweet and knowledgeable about the menu and more.I was a server for years until 6 years ago and I will say he is an excellent and price server. Jaidin is the epitome of what I would want my server to be.He definitely respects that restaurant well.Thank you, Jaidin for your excellent service, kindness and sweetness. It’s rare you see that nowadays so we are thankful he was our server today.“
“Good for pub/bar food and the beer was cold! I'm always a little disappointed when I can't have something because they cross contaminate their friars. The onion rings look good at the other table but can't have it It's fried! Booo. (Seafood allergy) But in short I'm glad we stopped in for lunch on the way home!“
“The hostess, she said to call her The German, went out of her way to accommodate us and was extraordinarily sweet. Service was very good.Food was very good. We specifically came because my God Daughter wanted Beef Wellington. The dish was cooked well and had great flavor.French Onion soup was very good as well.“
“Carrabba's offers a take home entry of equal or less value for$10.00 when you dine in. Was disappointed that we couldn't get the entry we wanted because it was 50 cents more. Would have ordered the more expensive one for dine in if we realized they had this offer. Lesson learned. But food and service was very good.“
“The food was excellent. We had the ny strip, prime Rib and teriyaki sirloin. However the server was the most disappointing one we have ever had there. Our drinks came out wrong, half spilled on me when delivered, making a puddle on.the floor that we had to request a clean up for. We were never served water, we didn't get a choice of salad type, one of entrées was supposed to come with a loaded Hasselback, but we received a plain baked potato. We had asked early on for wine to be served with dinner. Took us halfway through the meal to get them, a promise to bring a soda refill right away took 15 min. We love this place and the food, but this server was rushed and not organized“
“Went to Pinchers with close friends for dinner to celebrate good or should I say Grear news from my doctor. As we were toasting each other for the great news our waitress Erica overheard us and asked what we were celebrating and I informed her I had received great news about a medical condition and she said congratulations. After we finished Erica came over and said she had talked to her bosses and they said desert was on her and her boss we said we were full and she said we can have it to go we said ok, the next thing that happened was Erica’s boss Antonio came over and said in todays world you don’t hear a lot of good things and he thanked us for coming in and said my dinner was on him. I couldn’t thank him enough. It brought a tear to my eye, who does that? I want to thank Erica and Antonio for their generosity and thoughtfulness. We go into Pinchers a couple of times a month and always get great service and the food is always fresh and tasty. The fresh cut fries are second to none. Once again thank you to Erica and Antonio.Ron Bulvanoski“
“Food was Amazing, Drinks was of course far beyond expectations and level of service is hard to come by today…which makes the daiquiri bar the best restaurant in Venice. Our waitress Zoe by far breaks records in every single category. She raises the bar on every level possible. Her high quality of customer service, knowledge, professionalism and problem solving skills are top notch. Zoe makes you give this restaurant a 5-star review every time.Thank you for taking care of my family and I and we definitely recommend this place to everyone visiting Venice and visiting Florida. Give her a raise and she is definitely the MVP of your team.“
“Dockside waterfront grill is located. Right on the water, excellent view of all the boats.We had a party of 4, We ordered the red snapper , shrimp dinner, scallop dinner, and chicken parmesan. Food and service were very good. Definitely a place to visit.“
