“Amazing experience!
A small, unique and hidden place directly on the beach. I randomly chose this place since I was traveling from Tampa and out to Fort Lauderdale. I wanted to absolutely eat on the beach, feet in the sand and enjoy a meal…

This place made it happen and was worth every mile detour and will be back for sure!“

“Diane was a stellar server and helped us with everything we needed. Prime Rib special is good. If you order the grouper with spinach, tomatoes and olives be ready for no spinach. Got two leafs!“

“My wife & I visited Joseph's for the first time this evening and it was a great way to kick off Super Bowl weekend! We each enjoyed Caesar salad, Chicken Parmesan entrees and red wine. The food, beverages and service by Cara were excellent! We also took home two cannolis for dessert and they were fabulous! We will return soon with friends and neighbors and look forward to trying many more items on their great menu! Please be sure to visit Joseph's when you are in the Venice & Nokomis area, and you will be glad that you did.“

“Just had lunch here for the first time after wanting to try this place for 5 yrs. It didn’t disappoint. The ladies I was with had the lobster roll and loved it. I had the grouper tacos and they were sensational. What a fun place to go on a beautiful winter day in Florida‼️“

“Simply... DELICIOUS!!!!!!!“

“I just want to say I've been going there for 4 years and have had Jamie is my server she is amazing a mother with seven kids. And anybody who writes a bad review over a dollar and calls a waitress out about her fake eyelashes needs to change your name from Charlotte to Karen. Being so shallow in the rough times we all are going through and not understanding that prices are going up and things change and people have bad days needs to get a life if you're listening Charlotte shame on you you arrogant person I could have used a different word. Anybody who writes a review that hurts the feelings and the reputation of a business over something so minor should be ashamed of yourself. So go to Anita's have a good time and enjoy the amazing food and atmosphere not to mention the service“

“Best Rubiens I have ever eaten. Perfectly made. You won't be dissapointed.“

“We hadn't been to a Longhorn Steakhouse for a long time and were pleasantly surprised with our experience at this one in Sarasota. It is busy but has a nice ambiance, excellent food, and excellent service. Ariel, our waitress, did a fine job. The steaks were cooked as ordered. Entrees came with salads and a side. The Filet and Lobster Tail with sides of Mac and Cheese, the Filet with salad and a sweet potato, and the Salmon and Shrimp with salad and a side of Brussel sprouts were all delicious. I would not hesitate to return.“

What a great way to start our Spring Break Vacation!“

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

I would highly recommend a visit to Neat!“

“Been coming here for years. Usually sit at the bar, tended most nights by Kelly. She’s always smiling, knows her drinks & will take good care of you. Mondays from 5:30 to 8:30 you’ll hear the whiskey-voiced singer-pianist Joe Thayer, who plays jazz standards, soft & classic rock, and a few pop tunes. Food’s excellent…lots of choices & a few daily specials—which sometimes go fast. Can get busy during the season…best to reserve in advance. Great place for holidays if you don’t want to cook!“

“Walker the manager is excellent. In this day and age service has fallen so sharply,
Walker brings back the old school care and top notch service that has been missing and it’s very much appreciated. Not only himself but I notice when he’s there, the team around him is also on point and happy. That’s what a true leader does. Impressive. I will be back again and again. Kudos to you and your team Walker, you absolutely do it right.“

“The food here is delicious!! 🙌🏽👌🏾😊 I had the Super Deluxe grilled cheese sandwich and the tomato soup….soooo yummy!“

“This is exactly what you hope to find in a Florida waterview restaurant, great view and vibe! We split a grouper sandwich, and got the coleslaw. The sandwich was terrific, but the coleslaw is mind blowing! We also got the key lime pie. I’d get all of it again! Hoping our next visit will be by boat!“
