“We have been going to Pop's for 8 years. We go in season when it's packed beyond belief. We go in the summer when there are 10 people there. We love to go on Monday night when George and Drea are bartending and Audio Orchid is playing. The food is great. The drinks are great. We have never left Pop's and said "wish we went somewhere else".“

“Used these guys to have pizzas, salad and garlic knots delivered to PAM rehab hospital for nurses, assistants and therapy staff for taking such great care of my dad!

“The two of us returned yesterday evening for a birthday dinner. It’s one of our very favorite restaurants, always great food and attentive friendly service (thanks, Donna!). We will be back soon!“

“We dined here a few days ago, and WOW, the food was amazing! I had the maple-glazed salmon with sweet potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. I was equally impressed by our server, Kara. She truly went above and beyond. When I asked if the brownies had nuts, since I do not care for them, she made a point to ask if I had a peanut allergy to make sure I would be safe. It showed a level of care that you rarely see. The owner also stopped by our table to greet us, which was a very nice personal touch. Between the excellent service, the quality of the food, and the owner's presence, this restaurant creates a wonderful dining experience. We will definitely be returning again and again!“

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.“

“Captain Curt's Crab & Oyster Bar: Review Overview: During a visit to Siesta Beach, we made sure to stop at Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar. The establishment is notably spacious, featuring two large outdoor Tiki areas where guests can relax with a drink or enjoy a meal. One of the Tiki areas includes a stage for live music, enhancing the lively atmosphere. Surrounding the main restaurant is Captain Curt’s Village, which offers a gift shop and several other stores within easy walking distance. The restaurant itself is clean, well-organized, and provides a laid-back vibe that we thoroughly enjoyed. Parking: Parking can be a challenge, as spaces are limited. We were able to find free parking right beside the restaurant, but there are also lots nearby available for a small fee. Service and Drinks: Our waitress, Renee, provided excellent and friendly service. We ordered Pina Coladas, served in large Captain Curt’s keepsake cups. The drinks were enjoyable, but the alcohol tended to settle at the bottom, so it’s important to stir before drinking to avoid a strong first sip. Food Experience: We sampled the clam chowder, which is advertised as the “World’s Best Clam Chowder.” While it may not be the best in the world, we found it very tasty with plenty of clams. My Captain’s Platter consisted of boiled Tripletail Fish, Bay Scallops, Gulf Shrimp, Mashed Potatoes, and mixed Vegetables, all of which were good. The Clam Basket, served with fries and Cole Slaw, was also very good. Additionally, the fish and chips were enjoyable. All food was served hot and in generous portions, leaving us both full when we finished. Overall Impression: We appreciated the quality of the food, the drinks, and the relaxed atmosphere. Overall, we would rate Captain Curt’s Crab & Oyster Bar 4 out of 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gulf Coast Terry“

“We had our first visit to Maestrale last Sunday, March 1st. Our group of 7 was exceptionally pleased with our meals (we've never seen our 3 1/2 year old granddaughter eat so much!), the attentiveness and the ease of scheduling the reservation. Our meals were all amazing and it was the first of many visits as we expect to enjoy many more meals at Maestrale. We can't wait to go back!“

“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 .“

“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 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“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Its pricey if you love seafood and love to eat the service was awesome and the food is amazing try the monkafellas once and your hooked ive been their twice this month look forward to many trips back as family comes to visit. We came into town after 4 years and still amazing food but the service needs help. I felt if you sit at the bar you take priority we all ordered two of everything and not one issue.“

“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.“

“Came for a dinner on Wednesday and had a great time. Sat on the rail near the water and watched the local fish swimming bye. Very casual and inviting atmosphere. We both had the blackened grouper sandwich which were hot and fresh, and the fries were great as well. I can't remember our waiters name but he was really friendly and attentive. We will be back.“

“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.“

“The food we had was excellent, and we enjoyed talking with the owner who said he has been in business for 21 years. Its important to support small restaurant businesses especially when they serve authentic Italian cuisine and desserts made with fresh ingredients and pride.“

“For those up north looking for great pizza reminiscent of NJ and NJ… look no further. Great pizza and meatballs. Wonderful staff. Can’t say enough good things about this place. And they take reservations.“

“First time going. Our server was fantastic! She was attentive, explained everything to us, and made wonderful recommendations. Had the veal ravioli, the Chilean sea bass, Mac and cheese, and carrot cake. Will definitely go back to try some other things. My boyfriend got calamari, lamb chops, dirty martini, and bread pudding. Everything was delicious!! Can't wait to go back“

“I just moved here from NJ/NY. My whole life I've been warned the Chinese food and pizza in Florida is trash. Completely untrue as far as Chinese goes. The Wonton soup and boneless ribs are amongst the best ive ever had. Everything else is NY quality, if that is still a compliment.“

“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.“

“Ordered despite some really negative reviews. Was ready within 10 minute for pickup. Hot, fresh, good flavor chicken chow mein lunch special. A very generous portion and included a drink for just under $10. Photo taken after eating about half. Generous portion indeed.

Added photo of lunch special Moo Goo Gai Pan also good and significant portion.“

“Villani never disappoints! We had a big group in last night and Lilly our waitress was awesome. Brain and Glen made the best drinks, and all of our food was delicious as always!! Our favorite spot in Wellen Park!!“
