“Honestly, it's island vibes, Caribbean, flair, smiles, and amazing home-cooked food!! The best oxtail the best curry the best creole the best stuffed French toast the best Reuben and the best Cubano you're really ever going to find. 😊🙌🏼”

“We love the ham & Swiss w bechamel sauce & the bacon & onion fougasses. Highly recommend any & all desserts!! Great staff too!”

“I went to an event at Mad Salads and everything was so Delicious!! highly recommend!!”

“Fantastic Gulf of America views, great food, super service, great array of frozen drinks! Nice way to eat and spend a leisurely afternoon!!”

“Really great poke! Would highly recommend. Will definitely be returning! I got a sushi burrito, and they gave me the extras on the side. I was worried for the price, that a small wouldn’t be much… but it was plenty of food! And so good!”

“Absolutely outstanding dinning experience the Gyro platter was the best flavor structured food in a long time. Great work from Paul and his team. Great to watch them hustle.”

“Shelby was our server and did a great job. Also the breakfast menu and many options and our food was very good!!”

“My husband and I had a 6 star dinner at Fins this evening. I dropped my bracelet twice! Thank you for returning it to me twice. We have enjoyed 2 dinners with you this month. Can't wait to dine with you again. The entire staff was first class tonight. Everything we ate was gourmet.”

“Today we enjoyed our first visit with our neighbors at Dockside. The fish & chips, blackened shrimp tacos & seafood lingunie were delicious. What made our first time experience even better was our waitress Chloe ! She was spot on and so pleasant.”

“Delicious ice cream and funky décor, not to mention the endless selection of treats and treasures for sale! Don't miss out on this unusual ice cream experience!”

“We are from the Upper Ohio Valley, about a half hour from Pittsburgh (Weirton, WV) and had the BEST donuts in the area (Oram’s- voted best in Pennsylvania, and Pete’s-a hometown treasure). Since moving to Englewood, we finally tried Yummies and were SUPER IMPRESSED! The cream sticks (which they call Long John’s) were fresh, soft, and filled with a delicious buttery, vanilla cream filling. My husband loved the frosted cinnamon roll donut, too. So glad we found a local donut shop that tastes like “home”!!”

““Fantastic”food served by a great ,friendly staff.”

“Tucked into the front corner of a small gas station! You'll miss it the first time, but once your there you'll be delighted with the offerings. Do not miss the Cuban sandwich!”

“Great meal from start to finish! Our waitress, Marina, was very attentive and pleasant. Grilled Cesar salad was fresh and crisp and had just enough char for taste. Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“Just had a Caramel Frappuccino w hazelnut flavoring & coolwhip on top. Yummy cup of coffee! Awesome friendly staff too!”

“Another Great home cooked meal from my favorite restaurant in Florida. 5 Stars because everything was delicious, Again. All Fresh and home cooked meals. Wine and Beer only but 2ed bottle of wine is half-price. Only holds about 25-30 people, that's why you MUST have a reservation Be patient for your food because it is all made from scratch.”

“Lydia was our server tonight and she absolutely amazing! Great experience, excellent food & of course the beer was nice and cold ! 10/10 recommend! She even sang to me for my bday, she’s so sweet!!”

“Best neighbor 👌! Our day to day coffee breakfast lunch place”

“AMAZING- they added street corn, love their speed and quality EVERYTIME”

“Really fun folks Sorry owner is a Red Sox fan but still great guy”

“Wait time was very quick”

“This place is WONDERFUL!! Great food, friendly service even Darrell was running around the restaurant greeting people, sitting people, a very down-home type of place.”

“Absolutely the most delicious steak and cheese I've ever had! thoughtful staff as well!”

“We’ve been dining at Mi Pueblo Venice for eighteen years. Tonight’s experience surpassed every experience previously, even though we’ve always really enjoyed it. Starting with the incredibly festive decor of the Brickyard Plaza, overflowing into the restaurant, it was visually stunning. Upon our arrival we were told an hour wait at the most. We waited only twenty minutes for a table for five, and I very much appreciated the liberal wait time estimate. Had we been told twenty minute wait and waited thirty, we’d have been disappointed. Service was phenomenal: menu options were great, margaritas delicious, food runner got everyone’s dish to the correct person, and…WHO IS IN THE KITCHEN?!? 😮👏🏼 Well done!! Absolutely delicious, the entire party enjoyed their meals. Thank you, thank you. Looking forward to the next visit soon! Happy New Year, Mi Pueblo crew!! 🎉”

“The staff make this place a 10/10! Their excellent service is why I always have fun at Linkster’s. I love that Linkster’s has snacks, trivia night, and that cute drive thru window where you can order a drink from outside. Totally recommend!”

“The best place in town for lunch and for meeting with friends and acquaintances. The food is good, so is the ambience in a patio surrounded by bougainvillea and nice music. The service is great and nothing beats Giselle’s welcoming smile.”

“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.”

“We’ve loved this place for years! Never disappoints!”

“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!!”

“Once again, we had an amazing dinner, never disappointed! The staff is kind, food is outstanding, wine was spectacular and the lava cake is like no other! Thank you!!!”

“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!!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fantastic food and service. Thanks Lucky”

“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.”

“What an unexpected delight! Delicious fish and loved that they had malt vinegar with it! A little disappointed they served steak fries instead of English chips but everything was excellent. Wish we had more nights to try some of the other English dishes. The Ole Smoky Old fashioned was also superb. And what a fun way to present with the burnt cedar. Better than our Wisconsin old fashioned. ?. We will definitely return next winter.”

“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.”

“Over 29 years going there and favorites are pork low main and hot and sour soup. Lunch is served now in a smaller round container which is a mistake. Pork, ,noodles, and veggies are packed on top of the rice and this sucks up the excellant sauce. Rice should be on the side of the rest with extra sauce in between. It used to be that way years ago and should go back to that even with less food packed in. The best Chinese food we know in Venice!!!!”

“This place was really really really really really really good I stopped in for a quick bite when I was down there taking care of headlights and I'll definitely be back there for sure when I'm in the area it was quick he was yummy and clean”

“Had a great dinner with friends - warm bread basket with EVOO / balsamic was great with Caesar salad and lasagne. Madeline was sweet and funny.”

“Food was unexpectedly delicious! It's always a struggle to find good Chinese in Florida and we ordered on a chance and were not disappointed! Recommend for sure.”

“Great options. Smaller portions available than some other places offer. Staff was cheery. Nice experience.”

“Had dinner here twice and both times were excellent. Even met the owner Jim who was very nice and friendly. Will go back, loved it!”

“Every time, and I mean "every time" we dine there, we fall in love with La Botte. Small and intimate, they bring their native Italy in every morsel of delicious food! This is a restaurant not to be missed. They also have Italian wine to pair with your dinner!”

“The service & food is excellent! I work next door at Avenue Hair & we order takeout from there multiple times a week! I like to try something new every time I order & it never disappoints!!! The staff is so kind & welcoming. 5 STARS!!!”

“Very bubbly and professional staff. Food was excellent. Will be back again.”

“So delish with many options. Something for everyone! Appreciate Peachwave (West Villages) stepping up to reward drug-free youth (D-Fy photo ID required for discount). We even had a short meeting there the other day. Everyone loved the FroYo and location!”

“Great weekly specials, terrific service , and friendly atmosphere. Food is great and always. Wide variety. It has become the favorite breakfast spot ! Highly recommend .”

“Another wonderful visit to the Upper Crust Bakery, it’s a must when in Venice. The scones are the best we have had since moving to the USA from England.”

“Not only is their food amazing their service is even better. Hands down the nicest people I’ve met since moving down here. Will definitely return”

“I am from New Jersey visiting family Bob’s twist N’ Shake has the best specialty shake I have ever had in a shake too wear it was just perfect. Where I am from it’s either to thick, too chunky or both .”

“Excellent new place to eat on the Island. Brussels Sprout Appetizer is a MUST. Each visit comes with a new item to try. Beef Burria(?) tacos were AMAZING!!”

“Just want to start with that I was a huge sonnys fan for about twenty years.But this place is absolutely steller. it was extremely busy and had a decent weight.But definitely worth it.Whenever I come to venice, there will never be a time that I don't stop here for dinner.”

“My go-to coffee shop in Venice and honestly, the best coffee I’ve ever had! All the coffee’s I’ve tried are so rich, fresh and delicious. The food, especially the muffins are always amazing and the staff, especially the owners are all lovely people and willing to go above and beyond. Can’t say enough good things!”

“This place is wonderful! Food was great, atmosphere was perfect. Mike was so welcoming. As a Florida native this place is in the heart of what is “old Florida””

“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”

“Excellent sushi/staff and location, I Enjoy Venice, FL much more eating right there, or to by ordering go , to enjoy those sushi on beautiful Parks around or at the Beach ?!”

“Waited at least 20 minutes for a table outside. They were crowded as usual. Waited 5 minues for Jennifer to bring us coffee and water. She said she'd be right back for order. 15 minutes later others were seated, and actually served. Our waitress rook the order fir a couple who had just been seated and then took ours. I complained to the hostess who took off our coffees. The waitress apologized for serving the other couple first. She didn't understand that we had waited an additional 20 minutes to PLACE our order. I never complain, I've been wait staff. The wait staff there has always been fabulous until today. She is clueless.”

“Fantastic pizza joint. They've got a great selection of other meals as well. I got the 16 inch build your own with pepperoni and mushrooms. Great crust, thin NY Style. Greek salad was amazing, as well”

“Saw a reddit post about best things to do in Venice. Get a Obee's sub and sit on the beach was very high on the list and it did not disappoint. Got a #10 turkey & provalone to go & sat at Sharky's to eat it. The sub was so good that I stopped back for another the next day.”

“great breakfast and lunch served by friendly staff at reasonable prices. new owners go and check it out!”

“I have spent 36 of my 49 years in FL. I personally think that Florida is way better than every other state, except for a few "up north foods". Bagels don't ever measure up... UNTIL SATURDAY. We had a birthday brunch, and we bought bagels from Cafe Bagel !Absolutely delicious. Chewy, like up north, but also with that nice "crisp" bite. I'm so excited about finding this place, especially since the prices are great too. I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Just one of those places that tugs on the past”

“I love everything about this restaurant..the moment you walk in you feel that you are at a friend’s house..the greeting and the feel of cleanliness makes me want to sit down for a visit..and of course the salads are amazing…the value for the quality, freshness and size are the trifecta! So glad you are right around the corner!”

“Great atmosphere and Tom is very friendly. Always had a smile.”

This place is the model of how to do it right!”

So fresh, so yummy and thanks for passing on so much of the stuff you've learned as you've gone along. And our little trio was a mix-up of a vegetarian, a keen-teen cook and this moderate-meat-eater mum who needed an injection of fresh ideas and inspiration to keep going. I found myself in Food Lovers today looking at their asparagus and such with a new keenness! Thank you for your generous spirit."”
