Raw oysters and cooked were great. Cocktails delicious and different. Shrot ribs, lamb pasta and clams on linguine all delicious. Fun, casual vibe here.

We went for Crab Tuesday, & by 6:00, no crab left. We'll come earlier next time. But, the Fish & Chips were very tasty, especially when the cooks use Halibut! Their G&T's are the best. The service was satisfactory. When our server did visit, it was a good experience & brought everything we needed. Overall a successful date night!

Overall was a poor experience. Waited for a table while they sat them up, no set up happened. Once seated all the servers were hanging out chatting for a while before addressing us. Waitress complained to us that someone else served our food and asked to point them out. Just a few odd experiences.

Ordered the fish n chips, tasted good but fish portion was small and chips in abundance. More protein, less carbs would be better....

We always enjoy Venus Beachside! Nice food, served well, and a good ambience. We do find it a little noisy (one of us is a bit deaf.) But this visit we chose a booth which is definitely much better for conversation. An enjoyable evening!

Amazing cocktails but we ordered Brussels sprouts that were terrible! Both under and overcooked. I told the server they were bad and she handed us the check before even clearing the table with the uneaten sprouts ..we won’t return

I've been to Venus several times and have always had a great experience. This time we went with a large party for a birthday. This time was different than all other time as the waitresses explained to us that we all needed to put our entire order in at on time. As in we needed to all immediately decide what we wanted for appetizers and entrees and order it all at once. The food was good and we had a good time. But it felt weird, rushed and definitely not like the customer was being heard or valued. It felt stressful to have a large group all decide everything at once. It put a damper on the dining experience. If this is the new rule, I don't think we will be back. When you're spending that much on a meal I think you should be able to order appetizer, relax, check out the menu and have a good time.

This was our second work dinner at this location and it was another great experience! The food, service, ambiance were all great! Thank you

We live the location unfortunately we didn't have a good experience with the food or the service. The cocktails were great though.

It was hot and noisy inside so we sat outside on the patio. The heater at our table didn't work. They seem to have too few heaters and no replacements for a beach location. Food was good though so no complaints in that regard.

Wonderful dinner during restaurant week. We ate outside, which was very dog friendly. Our pup enjoyed the pup patty and we enjoyed our dinner.

The restaurant week menu was fantastic! The entrees should be regular menu items, especially the lobster risotto.

The salmon croquettes were great. Hope they include them in their regular menu. The lobster risotto was great. Server was good. Fantastic seafood restaurant!
