Overpriced and okay. What actually is this place? The owners can’t make up their mind…beer garden? Fancy main st restaurant? Sushi? Stick to one thing and do it well

Wasn't what we thought based on previous reviews. Located two different menus for venue, the menu wasn't appealing. When initially arrived person checking in acted like he couldn't find our reservation. I repeated name 3 times and watched him scroll past name each time, I finally had to inform that my name was right there on the list. Not saying it is horrible but wasn't what we were expecting on a Friday night to celebrate my birthday.

Greeted by the manager, he was great! Waitress was great!! Band was setting up for a show at 7pm so we got to hear their sound check which was nice because we weren't stay for the show. BTW, they sounded awesome during their sound check. What was annoying was that some "guy" KJ kept getting up running by our table and was extremely silly and loud...as if "he" wanted to be seen. It was getting on all our nerves. But we eventually tuned him out. He wasn't a guest, so we thought perhaps he worked there and was on break. The drinks were perfect, but the food could really use some help. Ordered pasta Alfredo and it was awful (the tasteless watered down sauce and the overly thick noodles). My friend ordered shrimp and grits (she couldn't even eat the grits) so the manager replaced it with a side of Alfredo pasta (it was awful too) so she didn't eat it. My other friend ordered the flounder, she said it was ok! Our birthday girl had Salmon with Mac and Cheese( same watery Alfredo sauce was on the noodles) so she didn't eat it. The best part was the French fries and charcuterie board that we ordered for appetizers. I spent $122 on my food and the birthday girls food and drinks. And I tipped the waitress $18. The chef really needs to correct these problems or make a menu of food the he/she can cook appropriately. I honestly feel I wasted my money and was embarrassed for suggesting this place to celebrate our friends birthday. I've been several times throughout the years,but always sat in the back portion of the restaurant (which is now a totally different restaurant) and the food was really good then. Not sure what happened! Won't be back for food. And at this point, I can't recommend The Venue to others! Wish I had my money back!!

Their staff is the worst and the food is not what it is made out to be

Music at "The Venue" is great, but food and drink service here can be really slow when they're busy.

Was in town for 3 days and visited all 3. Service and staff was great and professional. A special shout out to Trent (our server). Would recommend to anyone in the downtown area. Definitely coming back to visit.
