“Staff is worse than rude”

The staff was absolutly horrible to my fiance and I. We live in Miami and traveled to Venice for a nice relaxing time. Everything about the whole trip was wonderful except this place. We went there Friday evening around 8:30-9. We were staying in the historic venice area. We odered drinks, then food. We were chatting with some locals about how much we liked the area. There was a live band playing and everyone seemed to be having a good time. As I returned from the ladies room, I saw my fiance arguing with the bartender. Apparently she swiped his credit card that we had a tab for, told us we had had enough. She cut us off after 2 drinks and before our food even arrived. We were shocked. We are adults and are perfectly capable of drinking a drink. We were treated like we were acting drunk and disorderly. This was not the case. After this one bartender handing us our check and walked away, the original bartender that was the one serving came up to check on us. When we told her what happened she appologized and offered to open us up another check. We told her that would not be necessary and we wanted our food that we had ordered for dinner packed up. We were completly insulted and offended. We are usually treated very well in restaurants and are very good tippers. We were so insulted we paid our check, no tip and left. As we were walking out, the bartender was literally yelling at us. I couldn't believe this place, I have no idea how they stay in business. The food was pretty bad too when we arrived home. So many nice places in Venice, Avoid this Terrible place.

Please don't give this company your business. There are too many other great businesses in the area to even risk your night out.
In a nutshell, 40 to 60 guest were to arrive for a birthday party (preplanned through his hostess)and upon the arrival of the guest of honor, the owner told us to leave because he did not think we would be spending enough money during his busiest time of the year. Needless to say, we had ordered approximately $200 worth of appetizers and drinks before the guest of honor arrived. Most of our guests had menus in their hands and were preparing to order meals as I was being escorted into the owner's office where I was stunned as he firmly informed me that this was a "restaurant, not a bar" and my "cocktail" party was not welcomed unless we were planning on ordering food. At this point I can only be grateful that we did not spend our money in his establishment and hope that you would not want to either. I am left to wonder how busy he will be when all the snow birds go home and it's just us locals.
