“Ashly or i think that was her name was a great server“

“Jeremy the host was very welcoming and explained the difference between the dining room upstairs and the tavern/bar downstairs. This was our first visit and he suggested upstairs. We were sat at a lovely table outside overlooking the water. Our waitress Becky was very attentive professional and pleasant. The food did take longer than expected but overall the quality was very good.“

“Ophelia’s is our favorite for a special dinner. Food is excellent, view is beautiful and the service is exceptional. Have never been disappointed. Menu changes daily and the options are top notch. Highly recommend!“

“Great people and great service stopped in last night looking for some fresh sea food to bring home to Tennessee I got gulf shrimp salmon and mahi. Very friendly and professional they even iced down my cooler which was nice! I’ll definitely be back to this must see stop!“

“Great food Great service. Prices extremely reasonable!“

“Had lunch for my Birthday, food was excellent. Service was professional and friendly. Try the cole slaw, you’ll be happy you did!! I’ll be back again!!“

“We haven't been to Salty Dog Venice in a while, so we stopped by when we saw they had live music. Great evening! Talented musician and great outdoor marina vibe. My meal was good. I had the grilled mahi sandwich. However, I could have done without the giant bun. Maybe a thinner one— let the mahi speak for itself. They should also hire a couple more servers. Service was slow. We will be back for more fun tho! 🏝️😃🐾“

“we had the hot Lobster Roll, actually 2 of them. They we very good, tasty and fresh.“

“Delicious, reasonably priced food!!“

“Food was great and drinks were great. Service was terrible, waitress (young blonde girl) never checked on us, always on her phone and asked for a box and she sat at a table and got on her phone instead.“

“Sam is an outstanding server. Always smiling, efficient & friendly. Loved the clams too! Food, service, atmosphere all excellent!“

“this place is amazing on god very skibidi, dare i say“

“Joey was very welcoming and encouraging when I brought my 7 year old granddaughter to sing at open mic night. The atmosphere provided a great environment in which she could practice singing in front of other people.“

“Excellent!!! the hostess was so friendly. the waitress very attentive . I highly recommend it !! I just moved from Texas . I'm so happy !!“

“Excellent Italian cuisine. Service and food were outstanding. Highly recommended!!“

“Absolutely the BEST i must say, everything is just so perfect.☺️ Highly recommend.“

“The service you received was outstanding.Thank you Doreen for making us feel like we are family. The food was outstanding. We will be back .“

“Went there Sunday night, with a large party for a birthday. Our waiter was on point. I made a joke as to the screw up on food, seeing I have no filter, not sure if it was taken wrong. However, it was made right, bit it was disappointing that the original steak I ordered was medium rare and the second one arrived well done. Again the service was accommodating, yet by this time everyone else was finishing up with dessert. I will love to go back, and i will. The only downfall was that my entree was a special and not served all the time. Hence the 4 stars on communication and delivery of food. BTW, the bacon and eggs was delicious and will order again.“

“Great experience. Friendly bar crew. Always asking if you need anything Bar food good“

“Really enjoyable meal, everyone cleared their plates! Ole Florida charm at its finest. Highly recommend the Mahi Tacos! Sweet potatoes app was delicious too!“

“Fabulous dinner! Fresh fish and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend the Crab Cakes, Grouper Oscar, and Islamorada Piccata. And of course, the Key Lime pie for dessert. Our server, Carlyle was wonderful. Highly recommend!“

“We visited for the first time today while in the area. Always heard to check the restroom to know what a restaurant really is like lol. Well I had to and found it to be very clean and smelled clean and fresh. On to our meal. I totally enjoyed the whole belly clams meal with a delicious slaw and subbed corn on the cob for the fries as I typically don’t eat fries. Those clams were wonderful, large juicy and flavorful. The corn was fresh and sweet and the slaw was perfect to my taste. I enjoyed a sangria with my meal. Enjoyed every bite. My husband is a self proclaimed oyster aficionado, he ordered a dozen raw on the half shell. He proclaimed them to be perfect. He was impressed that they were fresh, plump, and sufficiently briny. He really enjoyed them fully. He also had the red beans and rice meal along with a beer and said it was good food. So thumbs up Shuck N Ale. We had to be there for a doctor visit that took us 45 minutes to drive there to Venice, but hubby says it’s worth a drive that long to come for the food anytime. See you again! By the way the staff were friendly and the food was delivered promptly so thumbs up for that as well. The music was just beginning as we were leaving.“

“Absolutely the BEST i must say, everything is just so perfect.☺️ Highly recommend.“

“Last minute reservations for 6, fit us in it was our first visit but def not the last! Great service, the food was fantastic, I really would give them ten stars if I could! Highly recommend my new fav Italian spot!!“

“Best oysters I have ever had and I have been a oyster connoisseur for at least 35 years from when I lived in maryland. The oysters are humongous and that is so rare to find these days. Very friendly work team and you can see that they are very happy to be there and they are proud of what they offer to the customers. I went there for the first time last month and look forward to going back again. The high quality oysters have spoiled me where I will not go anywhere else now for oysters. Once you have monks oysters, you won't go back to any place else.“

“Had the steak and lobster and it was delicious! Highly recommend. Great service. Definitely will be back soon and make sure to leave room for dessert.“

“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!“

“Kathy did a fantastic job as always. The food was superb and the management team with Marcell and Dan are outstanding. Marcell and Dan always make a point of stopping by. I love this place because of the people and the food. Great job. Kathy is awesome. Thanks for all you do. 5 star all the way.“

“My wife and I went here last Friday evening when we were still in Venice: we had a wonderful meal, excellent service & a fun atmosphere we will definitely be back.“

“We love all the Tequila resturants ...Blue...Pink...Lime and now the Venice Pineapple Tequila that recently opened. We went to dinner tonight with friends there and had a great meal. We had about a 30 minute wait but well worth the wait time. Our server Yalitzaly was wonderful...she was super friendly and did a phenomenal job taking care and serving us. She was very experienced and accommodating ....I would say she is a super good valuble employee that cares about the resturants customers. Thanks Yalitzaly for making our night enjoyable and the desert was awesome ! Rap & Mary Peavy“

“The food was amazing. But I made a reservation for 8 at 7pm. Walked in and said told them I had a reservation she came over asked me my name then she answered then phone. After she got off the phone I asked if we could please sit outside and she said “ do you really want to do that I would have to move a table” She then said I have you set up in the back and led me to the back and walked away and said ya great in a smart manor. She was walking around talking to everyone so she must be some kinda lead I wouldn’t even call her a manager but yeah with that interaction me and my 350$ dinner bill will not be back.“

“Fabulous food, atmosphere and service. Have eaten at many Italian places and Trattoria is top notch. Employees make you feel welcomed and go above and beyond to make sure your experience is a positive one.“

“This is not the quality of Ruth Chris. The server did not refill the water or clean dishes from the table. Lacking very basic service skills. Her helper was not professional either. The filet was good. Garlic mashed potatoes seemed like instant. Not acceptable for Ruth Chris. Salads are not as nice as many previous visits. Blue cheese dressing is still amazing.“

“We had the Grouper with parm fries and a steak salad + an excellent Smokey Old Fashioned. Everything was awesome including the service.“

“I went there just before closing last night. I have been out of work and eating nothing but soup and salad for the past two months.
Finally, I have been working again and had enough money to eat better, so I ordered their seafood delight.
The quality was so amazing... I devoured it alone🤣. I'm ordering it again tonight.😋. Very friendly people and very clean !!
6 star review from me !!“

“We tried it for the first time tonight and it was delicious. Have to give it 5 stars because the food was hot and tasted great. Best Wonton and Egg Drop soup we've had in a while. The Moo Goo Gai Pan was tasty and loaded with mushrooms. Husband loved the Szechuan Chicken ordered medium spicy and said it was perfect. We will definitely be back!!“

“This is Old Italy style - very authentic, delicious, and uses the best ingredients. The owner is a warm, friendly Italian man that really takes pride in his craft. The Margherita pizza was DIVINE. I'll be a regular when in Sarasota!“
