“A friend recommended this nice Turkish restaurant to me. My daughter and I had a wonderful lunch. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The Borrek was light and fresh with the tzatziki. The Doner kabab and Iskender were both excellent and with large portions. Highly recommend both.“
“The food was amazing. I ordered a half pepperoni and half cheese pizza. It had a perfectly cooked crust and the flavor was immaculate. Other than the amazing food, the service was top tier. The owner took our order and engaged in conversations with us while maintaining professional. The atmosphere/ambiance in the restaurant was super positive. High energy and I felt the positivity through my whole meal. Definitely will go back whenever I'm in Sarasota.“
“You are paying for more than just the view; the food is pretty delicious. We had the strawberry jalapeño pitcher, breakfast tacos, and shrimp & grits. Our server was excellent! She was attentive and available just enough if we needed something she was on it. The margaritas were delicious; my only recommendation and this is a personal preference on heat, was jalapeños could have been muddled a bit more. My husband ordered the breakfast tacos. He said, they were excellent! The eggs were cooked perfectly, and his only recommendation a little more seasoning on the diced red potato side dish. My Shrimp & grits were perfect! We will be back?“
“A great vibe. You’ll feel like a local.I like that we don’t wait in a line. It’s a friendly place. Clean, TV’s, parking lot across the street. I love the chicken quesadilla! My husband likes the soup, burger and anything fish… along with the beer. A great night out or a Saturday lunch. ♥️Parking: Parking in front or in free lot across the street.“
“Good quality and tasty food and drinks, fast and friendly service, great competitive cheap prices. Really best fish&chips in town, salmon bowl is creative and awesome, taco bowl good portions and unique, tempura shrimp a must have, get the meatloaf if hungry, Irish stew will fill you up, burgers and home made mashed potatoes and mushrooms sauce, don't forget the jumbo all natural wings, onion rings, shrimp scampi, ..“
“My husband and I visited for the first time in October during our 3 week vacation. I cannot say good enough things about this place! The people there are so friendly and welcoming in true Irish spirit! The food was amazing and worth every penny spent! We even got to talk with the owner while we were there…both times. It was so good that we made sure to go back a second time before we came back home to Ohio. I’m so sorry we didn’t check the place out our first week there because that probably would have become our second home while we were there! Eileen is awesome!“
“Dropped in for lunch w my wife Saturday 2/24. Arrived b4 they opened. Immediately treated like family. Though they didn't open till 11, one of the servers seated us, provided a menu and drinks until 11 when we could order lunch. We ate inside, the food, atmosphere and service were wonderful.We were looking for the best pizza in the Venice area and found it. Really great experience.“
“I live in Saint Petersburg and was in Venice for work and I googled pizza near me . I Picked closest spot . I am a New Yorker and I know good pizza . And this is definitely one of the BEST pizzas I’ve had in a very long time . I was extremely satisfied . Worth every penny . I would almost make the hour and a half drive from my home to eat here again .“
“Loved this place so much, I'm planning on making many return visits. The food was great, the atmosphere was vibin' and the service was top notch. Loved the drinks, especially the frozen daiquiri in the refillable mug...what a deal!! Live music, that actually was good and played music I like was a special treat. Definitely recommend!“
“Mike and the crew do a great job making this bar "your" bar. While they do not serve food, I believe you can bring in your favorite eats from nearby, and there are plenty of choices. Sure, there may be places that lend themselves to being trendier, with loud music and a barrage of lights, but this place makes you feel relaxed and at home. Clearly this is a family ran establishment, and they gladly invite you to be part of that! Thanks guys, see you all again soon!“
“Incredible wine selection, amazing friendly service, cozy atmos- don’t think you’d need more for a “wine down” day to be honest.The owner Carmel is such a sweetheart and warm & welcoming from get go !She knows her wine and her collection speaks for itself.Try the charcuterie board to go with your favorite pick or her pick for you.Either way it will all work out good here in Venice, FL.Vegetarian options: She could do more veggies & fruit in her board. Feel free to ask.“
“I was there the night that the recent 1 star review was left.That group came in very rude and almost seemed like they were looking for a fight from the very beginning. The males in the group were threatening to kill people and the girls were screaming at poor Hannah, calling her white trash and worse. The females in the group even started to verbally assault me before I ever spoke a word. Their behavior was so wildly out of line that another patron called the police.Hannah has served me many times and is always the kindest and most professional bartender to EVERYONE! As far as water getting thrown I didn't see it and saw no evidence of it happening after the group left.“
“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. ?“
“Sat outside with my pups and atmosphere was pretty cool for the area...alot of hustle n bustle. Let me just say this, by the end of the meal, I've never trusted a waiters suggestion more in my life than I did here ? seriously his descriptions took the words right out of my mouth. He has a gift! Started with the vegan pizza with impossible sausage ? WoOoOoW so yummy. (I'm picky with pizza also) ? then per our waiters suggestion had the Fiocchi Di Pera. Which is a pasta filled with a blend of four cheeses and pear in a truffle cream sauce. Probably one of my favorite pasta dishes I've ever had. The pear really set this dish off, the perfect amount of subtle sweetness. Had the tiramisu to finish the meal, which was alright, would not order this dessert again. The tiramisu had too much cream without enough lady fingers or coffee flavor.. went against our waiters' recommendation, so lesson learned. All n all I LOVED this meal and experience. Can't wait to come back.“
“This is by far the best bar in not only Gulf Gate, but Sarasota as well. Not only is the owner Brandon an amazing person, but the bartenders are top tier. They make you laugh and want to have a good day also. I will never go to another bar.“
“We were looking for a good place to eat lunch. We found Mellow Mushroom, and it was way better than Mellow. It was extravagant. ? Never had better pizza before. We got the house special pizza, and mmmmmmm this was amazing. The style of the restaurant was unique, and the restaurant was very clean, even the bathrooms! Overall nothing bad to say. Straight gas?Kid-friendliness: ??“
“Day bartender is Lori. Everyone loves her and her smiles will make you see why. Everyone here has received a hug from her when they tan out. Music is fun. Pizza is fantastic as are the sandwiches and salads. If you miss the true pubs from back home, come find this place. It does take actively work to locate it but it's worth the effort. I'm moving near by and found it by chance. Now I have a place to live. Promise, you will love Lori. Well, I do. Today is my second visit because I was told it's fishnet Friday. You figure it out. Walk in the door and become another regular. Everyone is.“
“Our favorite spot! We come for burger night every Wednesday. They always have live music, a great wait staff, and the food is really good (just avoid the salty Mexican food). Highly recommend you DON'T check it out, because they are already too popular! Lol.“
