We had just arrived in Venice Beach, Fl, checked into the hotel and got settled. We chatted with our receptionist at the property and she highly recommended the Crow's Nest, for many reasons. When we arrived we tried to find two seats at the very small bar area on the lower level. Luckily, the folks already there moved to accommodate... More

The seafood in this restaurant is very good. The choice of wine is very good, the wine list contains several hundreds of wine from all over the world, so for connoisseurs hard to choose the right wine. The house wines are also very good. Service is of high class and very friendly.

The Tavern serves regular Florida fare, with fried shrimp baskets, great grouper bits, and outstanding sandwiches. The restaurant, however, we found to be... More

It is one of our special places that we visit once a year. On the Venice inlet. The best seafood in the area, with a terrific location.

I recently ate an early Sunday dinner at this restaurant and my group of 4 were pleased with our outing. The upstairs dining area was great to view boaters arriving and departing the main channel into the gulf. The service was excellent. We took advantage of the handful of $15 dinner specials offered before 6 pm (not sure if it... More
