Absolutely terrible place. Not family friendly. Judged my family as soon as we got there. Said if my kids weren’t going to behave they would be removed…threatening families before they even sit down.

Being from the Newengland area and have traveled the world I have always gravitated toward a restaurant like Cheers! Jim and his professional team has created an amazing environment with extremely delicious appetizers and entrees in that fashion. The beer is cold, the wine is quality and the cocktails are made to perfection. With chef Josh in the kitchen the presentation and taste of every entree is priceless. Regardless if you live here in beautiful Venice or visiting our lovely community Sands comes highly recommend from me and my family and friends! Cheers! Mark

A great vibe. You’ll feel like a local.I like that we don’t wait in a line. It’s a friendly place. Clean, TV’s, parking lot across the street. I love the chicken quesadilla! My husband likes the soup, burger and anything fish… along with the beer. A great night out or a Saturday lunch. ♥️

What a great little find in Venice! We had the ceviche and the truffle fries. (Appetizer/drink hopping) Delish!!!! The owners were super friendly, and the restaurant was very clean. Great spot downtown! Great yummy items on the menu that I cannot wait to go back and try!!

This is my new go-to place in Venice. They were open briefly before Hurricane Ian hit in Sept 2022. The building unfortunately lost its roof in the storm and they had to start again. Food is great (my favorite is the olive burger), beer is served in a chilled glass, and my wife enjoys the wine list. Bright and airy with good service and fun conversation. There is some outdoor seating in the front and they are working on the patio in the back. Jim, Josh, and the young ladies serving the tables are all fantastic. Highly recommend!!
Vegetarian options: Black bean burger, garden wrap, grilled cheese, 4 of the salads, 6 of the apps
Don’t miss out on this hidden gem! Fantastic food, great service.We have dined here several times and always walk away stating how delicious our meal was. They have a special touch with each dish that set them apart. Can’t wait to return.
Sands on Miami is one of our favorite local restaurants and we visit frequently. The food is excellent and varied. Owner Jim and staff are friendly and fun! We have referred many of our friends there and they all love it. Great casual atmosphere with a friendly vibe.

1st visit and loved the atmosphere. Jim runs a great spot and enjoyed his client’s company. Had an olive burger and yes was a winner! Great spot to catch a game a chat with the crowd. Will be back for sure! Thanks Jim!

I had The Classic. Juuuuicy seafood burger. Held together nicely, cooked through perfectly. The truffle fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. But, the star of the show for me was the Garam Marsala ketchup that tasted great on the burger AND the fries. A tasty burst of flavor! I highly recommend coming back and trying everything on the menu.
