KatherineJune 22, 2015Great water view. Great service and very good pub-like fare!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
Lee Pyne-MercierJanuary 4, 2016Old school Florida establishment with great views. Unpretentious. Edamame salad is great. Love all seafood. Parking can be tight.Upvoted 2 weeks ago- The grouper rueben is really good. Combined with the wonderful view of the intercoastal and the beach. And the plates are "tree free", compostable as are the "plastic " cup made of corn. Cool.
John WillardDecember 31, 2015Nothing is good here. The place is dirty. The staff can't seat people because they say they do not have enough servers. Most of the staff are rude except our server who was very good. 2 hours to eat.
Tim BApril 18, 2012Patrick the waiter is great. Avoid the "Pop's Sunset Red" it's just Anheuser Busch, bleech!
LisaMay 12, 2015Great location with water views, especially if you come by boat! But service is not so great and food is average.
Great place to have a beer. Stop by when I'm there and I'll by you a beer
Dan BrownApril 18, 2012They remodeled the entrance, looks good. Added more seating, and finally you can substitute a salad for the fries. Cost extra, bit you can.
The best bar in Venice. Great food, great beer, great atmosphere.- Great place for food, booze, and entertainment. Defiantly worth checking out!
Shea GheringFebruary 9, 2013Poor service. Sat for 20 min and had to go find our waitress just to get our drinks during a slow night. Prices went up almost 5%, portions are smaller as well. I would pass this place up now.
Jean HardyJanuary 9, 2013Mango and strawberry margaritas are definitely terrible. Regular ones are a little better. Ordered dozen raw oysters--got 11 plus 1 empty shell. Other than that good food.
NiquaaAugust 23, 2016Food had no real taste. Both wife and I agree, not going back. Had two different meals and both had no taste of what they were. You had to use the condiments for flavor
Our waiter sucked but the last time I was here the cocktails were good!!! And so were the lobster nacho's
Adriana GrahamMay 11, 2013Promising beginnings. Once we were seated, we had terrible service. Probably not his fault as he had tables located throughout the restaurant. THAT'S a management problem.
