Daiquiri Deck Island Of Venice

Absolutely love this place. The food was amazing and the drinks were even better. Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the food/drinks menu and made our decision making process crazy easy. All around it was a great place.

Went for my Buddy's Birthday, and was really excited for the Daquiris. Came in and was sat down swiftly, ordered our drinks and was happy. It all went downhill after ordering the food. We waited quite a while for the food, which isn't really that big of a deal, but after receiving it, my burger was already made wrong so they took it back and gave it back to me. Food wasn't bad, but the service was. After we had received our food, we didn't get any napkins or condiments, and couldn't get them because as soon as they came, they'd leave too fast to even ask. Not only that, but we were just waiting to see our server again, which I think we only saw 3 times after being there for over 2 hours. That being, we only got one refill in because our server was never around, nobody ever asked how the food was or even checked in on us, we had to keep trying to find someone to flag down to get anything we needed. At one point, I just went it myself to get napkins and condiments. (we were sat outside). At the end of the day, the service was poor, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the food was okay. Hopefully the service gets better the next time, but probably won't be coming back anytime soon.

Service was terrible. We saw our waitress 2 times our entire stay. Once to take our order, and once to give us the bill. We were not given napkins or any condiments. They never offered to refill our drinks. I actually had to request my server to get a refill for my drink after waiting half and hour, and when she came with it, she set it down as she was walking so my other guests couldn’t ask for refills as well. I had to grab our own napkins. Bill was $244 and a bad time. I was sad because we came from out of state and saw this place had really good food. It was the talk of the town. Food wasn’t anything special.

Initially, we ordered the gator bites for our appetizer. After waiting around for more than 10-15 minutes, we finally asked the waitress if the gator bites were going to come out. Well, she'd forgotten to put the order in, and by the time she did, both the gator bites and our main entrees came out at the same time. We were not thrilled with this. While, the waitress did apologize, it put a damper on being able to experience the appetizer separate from the main food. The gator bites were our main reason for patronizing this restaurant. 😐 They were excellent, but we felt rushed to eat them and because we had to eat then alongside our entrees, it detracted from the experience.

For our entrees, we ordered the calabacitas with fish: one with blackened grouper (husband) and one with grilled mahi (mine). They were both very flavorful, though my mahi was a bit chewy (maybe overcooked??). I would order the calabacitas again, maybe without a fish next time; they have enough protein and flavor on their own.

Overall, a good experience with a couple hiccups. If you give them a try, I hope your experience is more than good and you'll be glad you did! Happy eating! 😊

This was our first time at Daiquiri Deck. We had an awesome waitress Zoe, who made it a great experience. The food was excellent, and the outside eating area was covered with fans. It made for great people watching.

Where to start. Food? Horrible. Out of the freezer and onto a plate. Service? Unattentive, if you somehow manage to flag someone down. Daiquiris are basically 7/11 slushies. I guess the price is ok for happy hour but I will be happy spending all my hours elsewhere.

Tasty Drinks. Definitely a place for a wide range of flavors. Hush Puppies are huge and delicious. This place has gator bites as well. They were good if that's your thing.

A centrally located location for a quick drink or a quick snack. Sometimes it's so loud that you can't understand your own words.

I would not recommend this restaurant. The service was terrible. The food was crappy bar food. Multiple people in our party had stomach aches after eating here. The food is expensive and it doesn't taste good. I would not recommend wasting your time or money at this restaurant. There are plenty of much better restaurants in Venice.

Vegetarian options: Only vegetarian options on menu are salad.

Wow! Came here w my partner & pup and our service was awesome (forgot her name but she was early 20s brunette, looked insta famous tbh) but I got 2eggs and toast cos I want that hungry but I swear it was still so much food cos their portion sizes are generous! My gf got tacos and she said they were delicious the meat was juicy and the fries were perfect — cooked in clean grease salted just right.. the dog got rice and chicken and he is really picky but he ate all of it too ?

Seriously great experience. Thank you.?

Had the lobster Mac and cheese 10/10. And the Deck Diesel was a 10/10 per usual.
I will say I am disappointed in the fries though. They used to be a thicker cut. Now they are cut more like McDonald's fries. The dill dipping sauce with the fries was a 10/10 but I won't be ordering fried from DD anymore.

Went for happy hour, but our server, Kaylee did not mention happy hour and instead asked what size daiquiris we wanted and if we didn't know which daiquiris were half priced we would have paid full price. Ordered nachos, which were great, but the server never came back even though we were the only customers in the whole place. Had to go find her. Then she brought the bill on a clothes pin and literally threw it onto the table. We then realized we were charged for "a keg" for $25. Told the server who too quickly stated she will have to get her manager to remove it. Seemed like she tried to pull a fast one. Very disappointing.
