47 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Venice

“Sharky’s (and Fins) was the perfect surprise after a long drive and a Venice Beach sunset. The hostess recommended Fins, and it couldn’t have been better. We started with chilled lobster claws and Oyster Rockefeller — both incredible. My friend, who thought she didn’t like oysters, called them the most delicious thing she’s ever eaten. We shared a petite filet cooked medium rare to perfection, paired with a glass of Pinot Noir that felt magical. The service was seamless, with both servers providing warmth, professionalism, and great energy. Combined with the amazing food, relaxed atmosphere, and a breathtaking view of the sunset over the beach, this experience completely exceeded expectations. I can’t wait to come back.“

“Outside tables in back of gas station/deli window but damn this is best Cuban sandwich I have ever had and can’t stop eating it. It’s loaded with a mild dill pickle that adds to the texture of the cuban seasoned meat. This is crack for lovers of Cuban food and who would have thought after visiting the store many times and never noticing until local referred me.“

“Awesome place for Brunch !! Great food … wonderful staff !!!! A favorite place !!!!!“

“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!“

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

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

“Great staff. Clean environment and a tasty menu for the whole family. Great vibes and a huge outdoor deck“

“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.“

“Great food & service! Had a nice band too. We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“So friendly and welcoming! The coffee was perfectly made to order and food was excellent!! Love this place!“

“Outstanding! In the hospitality industry, the objective is to create a pleasant experience for the patron. Food or service is just a tool to do that. Each transaction may be small $$, but the pleasant experience will generate return visits. A shout out to Brandy and Tiffany, as well as the others. Well-staffed. Attentive. Reasonable prices. This place is the model of how to do it right!“

“Today I ordered a tuna on everything bagel with lettuce and tomato, my wife ordered a chicken salad on everything bagel. So my tuna had no lettuce or tomato and there was about a teaspoon of tuna and on two bagel bottoms with no top. My wife’s plain chicken salad came with a normal amount of chicken salad but with lettuce and tomato and on all tops.“

“Great Food and Awesome Entertainment!!“

“Always greeted with a smile & positive vibe. The smoothie bowl with cacao nibs and almond butter is delicious. The decaf iced organic espresso latte with house-made strawberry cold foam was SO good ... perfectly strong-tasting java even though decaf, as well. Will return again & again ... thank you!“

“We enjoyed a relaxing and quiet dinner in the grill dining room. Our waiter was just terrific. The food was very good and the prices were reasonable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Overall our stay was not bad . I just wish when booking they would let you know what time the pool and hot tub closes , which is fairly early 9 p.m . The pool and hot tub are nice once of the reasons we booked here ( and because it was close to the beach ) but the pool is all of 4’6 inches deep . . There is nothing to do or really eat around this area so you more than likely will be driving 30+ minutes looking for food .“

“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.“
