    We had a great experience at The Venue - though our food was delayed due to it being very busy, our waitress Reagan was lovely & continually checked on us & apologized for the wait. When our food did arrive, it was delicious as expected!

    The food was mostly good. Not much seasoning was used. Definitely get the artichoke dip and crab cakes. Steaks cooked perfectly but lacking seasoning. Fried chicken was way overcooked and could barely chew through the fried batter. But overall I’d go back for the service, it was the best I’ve had all year. Thanks Maximiliano.

    Great wine service. Our waitress even asked if we wanted her to open the bottle while we were drinking our cocktails so the wine could breathe. My husband at the Delmonico steak and was still raving about it two days later. It was huge and delicious.

    The sides are so good you really don’t need an entrée. Delicious choices to fit any budget. Regardless of price, all the offerings are exceptional. Then there are servers. They all make the experience a delight.

    Everything about our dinner out at Venue was absolutely perfect. The food, beginning with the appetizer and wrapping up with desert, was delicious. Our server, Nicole, was delightful and made our dining experience special. Thank you Nicole! Looking forward to our next dinner at Venue.

    Service was very good. Allowed to substitute one side without an uncharged. Only complaint was what was substituted must have caused a kitchen snafu as the rest of the meal was on the cold side. Great menu and reasonably priced.

    The meat was excellent but the vegetables were cold and even warmed up not what you would expect from Brussels sprouts and asparagus not done.
