Nice addition to restaurants in downtown Venice area and menu choices are more of their own spin on classics. Salad with grilled peaches and burrata was delicious and my friend loved the onion soup and grilled ham and cheese. Waitress was very attentive and friendly.
Try it out, it won’t disappoint!

I normally don't post bad reviews on a first visit but this place was worthy of it. My wife ordered a build your own omelet for $12 which most places do where you would get two or three items on the omelet before being charged for extra items. Not here. You paid $12 for eggs and the $2 per additional item. She got 5 different vegetables, so her omelet was $22. I could get additional toppings on a large pizza for that price. But, what makes matters worse is when questioned about the charges and they stood their ground, my wife replied that we would never return. The manager replied, oh, okay. So, with my French toast and our iced teas, the bill totalled $50 before the tip.

To follow-up we would also not condone the mistreatment of your staff being we are both in service professions. I apologize if your staff was threatened or offended by us questioning charges.

This place was fantastic! Jill was wonderful. Her service was exceptional and so was the food. We will definitely be back. There were 10 of us, but that did not slow down the food or service. I tried the Lobster Avocado BLT which I was skeptical about the combination and I'm not a huge lobster fan...however, it was amazing. I will definitely order that again. Everyone enjoyed everything they had from the french toast, to a lobster roll, the Rise Up breakfast bowl, to the Welsh Rarebit French onion soup, to a salad, and everything in between. The Barata appetizer was yummy too. All 10 of us will be back.
Thank you Jill and Arthur, their chef. Your service and talents are appreciated and throughly enjoyed. God bless! ✝️

Parking: Street parking only, so it could be a little bit of a walk, but not bad. You could also just drop someone off out front then look for parking.

We have seen this place several times driving/walking around the area. After a quick Google search to review the menu, we decided to try it out. We will never be back. It was any ordinary Wednesday night at 7pm. Their hours online showed they're open 9-9. I placed a take out order, waited 30 minutes, then headed out, only to find a sign on the door that read "Closed". I used their physical online ordering service, from their own website, which allowed me to place the order and charge my credit card. There was no indication they were closed for business. With modern technology, it seems this should be entirely avoidable, and a failure on their part. There wasn't any indication of summer hours anywhere on their website, nor on Google. Do NOT order online. It seems to be nothing more than a money grab. I tried calling the number on my order confirmation, and no one will answer. The $60 charge for two sandwiches is still pending on my card, but I'm prepared to dispute. Save yourself the headache and hunger pains. There's plenty of other reliable restaurants on the island, and a plethora of seafood restaurants nearby.

Wow!! I was not expecting such an amazing dinner. I got the sea bass covered in Lobster Nagge and it was so good!

The staff is really friendly, the ambience is nice. I’ll be back for sure.

Excellent, diverse, gourmand menu! We walked in with a large party and were welcomed and accommodated, service was great and the food was better. The tempura burrata?! Unreal. Lobster BLT was unreal. We ordered an obscene amount of food and it all came out speedy and delicious!!
