New American Restaurants near Venice, IL

“Love the food here! It's always nice to go somewhere on days you are pressed for time or don't want to cook that doesn't taste like fast food. The everyday selections here are options you'd cook in your own kitchen. The staff are welcoming, friendly and always greet you with a smile or make you laugh. As a locally owned business it's even better to know the support goes to long standing members of the community. It feels like going to your family's house.

What I liked most about the food is it's not over seasoned! So much of the food nowadays is heavily seasoned to the point it just tastes like salt.“

“Fantastic dining experience!“

“Came in exspecting hot just fine on some chicken fish gyros salad with the Chicago flavor maybe,since I am from Chicago,not only did Malik and family match the Chicago flavor swag.they made me feel like a family member coming over to have a family meal. Not at all that I feel like a customer buying a consumer product thank you Malik and family one of the things me and my fiancée was worried was eating since we are away from home for at least 30 days. On behalf of me and Amber we can rest because Chicago fish chicken and grill relies our stress love you guys Malik“

“Every time I visit, it’s an entirely new experience. The staff here is as amazing as their culinary creations. Cannot recommend enough. The new patio is gorgeous.“

“I just went to the fountain for the first time yesterday evening. I will definitely be back! If I lived in Stlouis I would go there often but unfortunately I live 2 hours away. I dined there with my sister and two of my nieces. Everything we ordered was so good! The cocktails are very good, especially the Love Potion #9 ice cream martini! We loved the dill pickle potato soup! A must try if you love dill pickles, you gotta try it! The hot roast beef sandwich, buffalo chicken dip, salads and sundae we had were all delicious! Our server was great too. I can't wait to go back!“

“Excellent service and experience at Delmar! The food is great and the atmosphere is fun!“

“4 stars for fingerling potatoes. 5 stars for Sleigh Bells “Rill Rill”.“

“Always a relaxed and inviting atmosphere. Paige's service attentive and engaging. Colton's “smoked” Manhattans delicious. Jon and Brian's cooking (elk tenderloin) scrumptious. And our special guest made the evening even more memorable!“

“We are new to the Lou and Hatch'd is quite possibly the best brunch I've had in years. YEARS! The food was exceptional, everything we ordered (Pavo de Pablo omelet, one of their skillets, a s'mores waffle, granola&yogurt) blew our expectations. The owner and the servers were prompt, even on a busy morning like today. They are also definitely kid friendly. Huge thank you to the owner for being so understanding and accommodating. Will definitely be going back soon!“

“Definitely a nice place to enjoy your evening! They have ALL the liquor, a nice environment, good food, + hoohaks… One stop shop‼️“

“Been enjoying The Royale most weeks since 2015. Best bar and restaurant in town. A gem. Chill tavern vibes, DJs, local art, gorgeous courtyard, old movies, vinyl records, and a stellar menu. Owner Steve is the best. Get the fish tacos, a fresh margarita, a local beer, or whatever you’re into. Hell, I’m about to head there right now writing this review. I’m not even joking.“

“we have been here a few times since we moved up here in October and it is one of our absolute favorite spots. we drive 30min to come here even though we have plenty of closer shops. ❤️❤️“

“Always fast, great temperature, amazing taste and quality of fresh ingredients. It has become one of my favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat! The prices are also fantastic especially compared to most other places, with very generous portions.“

“My favorite bar. Atmosphere, owner, bartenders, patio, food, and drinks are always all awesome.“

“Great food, atmosphere, and customer service. The staff size is small, fit for the cozy setting, so please be patient as they work to prepare your food. You won’t regret it! Well worth the wait.“

“World Class musicians and a well designed venue make Jazz St. Louis an excellent choice for a wonderful afternoon or evening of entertainment.“

“FINALLY! Somewhere in St. Louis knows how to make a burger right. This is seriously the best burger and fries the city has to offer, and their menu is appropriately priced. I was also pleasantly surprised they carry Delirium Tremens. They have a super laid back atmosphere to boot - play some pool while you're there! Definitely don't sleep on The Drawing Board.“

“Ok, here’s the thing… I love food. And when I say I love food, you might think I’m a huge person or a food critic or a chef or just a dramatic fan. Well, I am actually an artist, and I… I can tell you in no uncertain terms, that the food we received was *high art.* I don’t mean the kind of pretentious high art food that is served in tiny portions and so beautiful that you almost don’t want to eat it. I mean that it was masterfully created—flavorful, textured to perfection, filling, and lamentable *only* in that I wish I’d had room for more. We started with the stuffed mushroom appetizer—which I’ll admit is not usually my favorite, but my wife generally loves—served upon a sprinkle of arugula and a slashed drizzle of balsamic glaze. Imma tell ya… I like stuffed mushrooms now. My wife ordered an entrée of eggplant Parmesan—one that she doesn’t care to make often for herself only because (and I’m quoting), “It’s a pain in the a$$ to cook.” I ordered linguine Pomodoro with added shrimp and had the steamed mussels appetizer served with my entrée, so that I could add them in (as I *do* love a tutto mare). Since my wife’s entrée was one of her favorites, and I don’t generally care for it, I left her to it, concentrating on my own. I shucked all the mussels and strained their accompanying shallots and bacon into my linguine leaving the garlic and cilantro pesto behind for bread dipping. OH [*clap*clap*clap*]—I forgot to mention the bread. They served a fantastic mini loaf of the softest bread topped with caramelized onions alongside fresh grated Parmesan in olive oil. Upon our finishing it off, I asked for a second helping. Back to the entrée… My first actual bite was of the mussels, and that bite was fantastic. Then I had one of the shrimp… and… here’s the thing… I am a poet, and I also write children’s books, so when I tell you that I simply do not have a superlative sufficient to describe the shrimp, you know I’m being serious. It was warm, seasoned, and snappy as shrimp should be, but it gave me pause—as Anton Ego in Ratatouille. * First, doubt—that I had experienced something so specifically wonderful before * Then, a quick scan from childhood to now for confirmation * And lastly, the comfort that can only come from those happiest memories of childhood—Christmas mornings on receiving more than you could ever have hoped for, Halloween nights’ preparations for what giggles and terrors were to come, and burrito-you ensconced in soft blankets straight from the dryer Then of course, the rest of the dish, twirled and slurped—not too quickly… every bite a confirmation and yet still a revelation. Here again, my only lament that I must see a portion of it boxed to leave room for dessert. And… dessert. Oh, boy… Seeing all of the items, my wife and I—in celebration of our 26th anniversary—decided on the sampler. Listen up, folks: flourless chocolate torta, crème custard napoleon, and gooey butter cake. JFC are you serious? Every bite more sumptuous—more scrumptious than the last. Every bit a reassurance that I will return. Our server, Chelsea, was commendable not only for her menu knowledge and sense of humor, but it’s not for nothing that she was absolutely on top of it with regard to my tea refills (which were many, as our dinner took place after a dehydratingly-busy workday for me). We will definitely be returning to Eleven Eleven, whereupon I intend to try a few different items, my palate then flooded with new sensations—new wonders… my only lament that I will not ever have that “first time experience” again.“

“Amazing food. Big portions, great flavor. Definitely one of our favorites in the St. Louis area!“

“Best Gyro I have found in st.louis.“

“We had a very fun time playing Tuesday night trivia with our three kids. Great bites, good beers, excellent service & friendly atmosphere. 10/10 recommended!“

“Food is great and served in reasonable time. The waitress could be more attentive to patrons seeing that the tip is added to the bill and paid before even receiving food. I asked for something and she forgot and brought it to the table 15 minutes later after I was almost done with meal. Had to ask for water, waitress only filled up my husband’s glass not mine and both were pretty much empty and I wasn’t even asked if I wanted more water. Hopefully this is read and improved on my return visit. It least it shows me how to tip next time 😏“

“The food and drinks were amazing! Great service and an overall great dining experience. Best sazerac I’ve had in a long time and the salmon was delicious!“

“I went to Lit at Molly's where they have holiday drinks and Xmas decor. It looked awesome. All the drinks are $14 and I didn't like one and they wouldn't let me swap it or anything. It was $11 p/p to get in, so I'm not sure why they couldn't swap a drink. Id taken 1 sip. I clearly didn't like it. Oh well, nice otherwise.“

“Amazing food! Quick service and coffee is divine! Highly recommend this place!! 5 stars“

“Sublime! The food here is delicious. The hummuses are second to none! Tel Aviv right in the heart of St. Louis.“

“We came in with a party of 14. We were seated in a dark back room. We had to use the flashlights on our phones to read the menu. Drink menu is deceiving, I ordered an old fashion and was charged $6 for the drink and $8 for the whiskey. The first drink tasted like orange and simple syrup only, not good. Everyone's food came out at different times with one person not receiving their food until after everyone else was done eating. The pomfret tots were NOT good. No one at our table liked them, they were pasty, dense fried mashed potato balls, basically. Our waiter had ZERO personality and was not friendly. When we left and walked through the front it was like a different restaurant. The tables in the front had good lighting and that area of the restaurant had a different ambiance and vibe. It was like we walked into a completely different restaurant. Not the worst place I've ever been but definitely not good. No one in our party was impressed, we will not be back.“

“The food is great and the bartenders are super helpful.“

“T is a wonderful and attentive bar tender. She greeted myself and my crew upon arriving, and she made sure that we were good throughout our visit. She was very nice and cool and her knowledge of drinks and the food menu was great. She has a wonderful spirit and she made our time at the bistro a blast. The food was wonderful and the venue itself was very clean and well kept. The food is consistently good, which is a plus and I always have such a good time when I come.“
