Best Seasonal Restaurants in Venice

Ophelia’s was fabulous as usual! We have never had anything but fabulous food, wonderful service & a beautiful outdoor dining experience! This is our favorite restaurant in the Sarasota area and possibly just our favorite restaurant period. Chris provided wonderful service tonight and our meal was timed perfectly by him so that we could enjoy every aspect of it! An overall beautiful dining experience!

Our waiter was attentive and the food was delicious. We always enjoy the mix of crackers/bread with butter/hummus and olive oil to start. We added the shrimp cocktail which were a good size of 5 shrimp for 2 of us to share. We enjoyed the fried shrimp perfectly coated and the Prime Rib was tenderly cooked to perfection. The side of Cole slaw, baked potato and asparagus was paired wonderfully. The 4 roses small batch select bourbon was really good and the white chocolate martini was a good mix of vodka and liqueur, with chocolate rim and the added touch of a Hershey kiss on the bottom.

Menu can be a bit confusing. Waitress was good. Food was good too.

We were a party of 4 and everyones meal was excellent and the service was wonderful!

Food was excellent server was awesome. Love this restaurant one of our favorites when we’re in town.
