I've wanted to try this place for about 2 yrs...I finally got to give it a go. I first noticed the inside was very narrow. A bit dim, and smelled like mop water and cigarettes. It made me uncomfortable so we ate outside . The waitress was friendly enough but not earn a tip friendly for sure . There was karaoke going on somewhere nearby but I never actually saw wear but it made for good environment (listening to people butcher songs) I ordered a grapefruit mixed drink and was surprised it was served in a cheap plastic cup and no glass of water to go with the alcohol. It tastes horrible and the lime on the side was browning and not fresh so I tossed that part. My spouse's drink was something creamed with nutmeg in a cute mug was was disgusting as well...like eggnog with pineapple etc. I ordered some tacos..lobster and pork belly. Somehow neither were good :( like dude how?! I also had the caprese which was not great and the fresh basil on top was half brown. My spouse enjoyed his basic beef taco at least. Needless to say I probably won't be back ..the outdoor atmosphere was nice but the food was ho humm and didn't appear fresh

Can be pricey but just try it all the food is great, they specialize in gourmet pizza, and honey I have hasn't had a pizza yet that disappointed me. There literally isn't anything there that I haven't liked, very friendly and willing to tell you their favs etc. I love the ambiance and they play great music!

Just had the worst experience at the Venture bar. Group of 7 to 8 of us celebrate the start of each week on Mondays. Chose to patronize Venture on Martini Monday. Drinks and food were fine, but at nights end the bartender insisted one person settle a $200 plus tab. Eventhough she alerted us earlier it would be one tab, never thought she was not capable of separating each of our orders. Never even attempted to provide any kind of professional customer service. Showed a total disrespect, waiving her arms and walking away when questioned. Paid the tab and Needless to say, there is no need to venture back to Venture. Take notice!

The menu is quite interesting. It’s a mix of pizza, Asian dishes, and American. Ordered a bbq pizza and it was quite tasty. Personalized size and fulfilling. Bar was nice but it was pretty packed so service was slower. Overall, not a bad place to grab food.

Loved that Venture has different menu items and offerings. This was our first visit. We came in on Martini Monday. I ordered the martini of the week which was incredible! Vodka, Baileys... I can't remember what else was in it, but it had a very full flavor and would also have made a great dessert drink. We ordered the Crab Rangoon Dip gluten-free option which came out hot with tortilla chips. We were pleasantly surprised by the slightly sweet chili flavor in it... really delicious! I ordered the Green Goddess Pizza and the gluten-free crust was one of the best I've ever tasted. Hubby ordered the half-priced pizza of the week, Prosciutto D' Parma and was also impressed by his crust (full of gluten LOL!). We both took home leftovers and enjoyed our meals again for lunch! We will definitely be going back.

The place is freezing. Got the poke bowl with large chunks of food as opposed to proportioned sized slices of meat/veggies. Tastes like water. No rice in the bowl? Don’t waste your time or money.

Had this restaurant for breakfast & it did NOT disappoint. Most of the reviews are for dinner, but please don’t let it stop you from trying the brunch. Pictured is the Steak Hash & it was huge. Nice portion, nice price, very well cooked. It was amazing. Those breakfast tots (breakfast potatoes) are everything. Especially with that little sauce they have. (I’m sorry I ate it before I could take a picture). 10/10 definitely recommend. Be sure to get the Pineapple Cosmo. It’s a little bitter, but it gets the job done. My boyfriend had the Harvest & loved it as well.

This is a spot me and my friend go to often, tonight the food was good as always but the service wasn’t our waiter was very rude while we were ordering our food. My friend ordered a salad and she made a very rude comment like” I guess this is Burger King have it your way” because she was telling her what she didn’t want on her salad. I thought that it was a very rude comment and it didn’t have to be said. This put a bad taste in my mouth for such a great establishment. Other than that great food service was not good at all.

Emma at this restaurant gave EXCELLENT customer service and is an extremely beautiful soul inside and out! The food was good, especially the Pork Belly Taco, Steak Taco, tots and pizzas!
