Artur's Restaruant! A European Gem in Englewood…read more Charlotte County Girlfriends were all excited to try a new place for our Wednesday's lunch group. Well Artur's impressed each lady in a large group. From their variety of pierogis, deliciously prepared kielbasa, Salmon dishes with freshness abound, one Salmon offered beautiful beets sparking moist. The Rueben perfection, others had the variation of salads, Greek, Beet Carpaccio, Garden. Gyros's, with Chicken Sandwich with Boom Sauce, Philly Cheeese and so many more other delights! Our outstanding full attentive servers were Khaley and Miranda! Both were spot on! Drinks, Apps, Entree, special requests on the entree, nothing was an issue to accommodate our ladies. We were placed in their large private room and the set in a U SHAPE was very accommodating for all to be able to speak and hear each other. Artur, the staff made our special event a lunch a fun and outstanding time. We will definitely return in the future! If you haven't been, you are missing a taste of European cuisine.

Polenta was excellent. The gnocchi was excellent my first few visits, but this last time, the red sauce was just so blah. I prefer a cream sauce on gnocchi. I should have ordered something different. Lesson learned. Desserts are excellent. The ambiance is great. We always sit outside. I had a nice sunset view this last visit.

Two women and three girls! Venice Avenue was crowded on this gorgeous early evening. I had chosen this restaurant due to its great Gluten-free options and kids' menu. Wow--did it deliver on those with a most attentive server. This is classic Italian comfort food--and the GF versions were excellent. Especially the GF pizza and focaccia. I had the regular Lasagna with Bolognese and it was yummy! Yes, there may be a more "gourmet" fine dining Italian place down the street, but Made in Italy did a great Valentine's feast for us. The entire restaurant was packed and the vibes of love were everywhere! And the server was so sweet to our 6 year old twins and 4 year old sister! And BTW the cucumber skinny martini was fabulous!

Caesar salad with chicken. The chicken was ok, the Caesar dressing was tasteless. Also had shrimp quesadilla. Too much tasteless cheese. No spice at all. So, the quality of the food this evening was low. Also the Yelp waitlist or whatever was confusing and not much value. Will we return? Probably not.

We ordered at the counter and everyone we interacted with was friendly despite them being busy. As far as the food-- my husband got shrimp tacos with homemade chips and I got fried catfish with beans, potato salad, and Texas toast. My husband said the tacos were good but he wished there was some more boom boom sauce. I tried his chips and I thought they were good, but needed a little salt. They have salt and pepper + sauces in a certain area so that is an easy fix. My fish was delicious. I'm from the south and I thought there was no way the fish would be comparable. However, the breading was perfect and it definitely had just come out of the fryer. They gave you a lemon to squeeze on top which I also appreciated. The potato salad was absolutely delicious 10/10. The beans were good, but they are sweet (more like brown sugar baked beans). I like my baked beans more savory. My husband loved them though. Texas toast was buttery, but definitely had been sitting under a heat lamp. I didn't care-- still thought it was good. The fact that the food is good and fast once you order is pretty miraculous considering how busy they were.

It's situated off a winding river in Venice that I think connects to the Ocean. We went on Sunday and it was PACKED! Wow! The bluegrass band was great and people were seated at tables, and their own lawn chairs so obviously they came prepared. The people working the place were very nice and they have a good well oiled system as far as ordering and your order coming out. Now the food was not cheap, but it was some great BBQ. We got the shredded pork and the Texas Brisket and my dad said the brisket was some of the best he has ever had. They have pitchers of cold beer with the frozen metal cubes in the center. And even though it was a hot day, we thoroughly enjoyed our food and drink. Not to mention the river that is located right next to the venue. It was great scenery to sit and be around the water even though it wasn't the ocean. I hope you all know how great this place is and get to try it before it goes away. I think countdown is 60 days. To the owners: This place will be missed and I am sure you have heard that from 1000s of people. Thank you for serving the community and creating a great atmosphere for us to enjoy

I am not sure why we were able to get in at Chaz 51 this evening, but we did. We like to go for…read moredinner after golf. Chaz 51 has a bar menu that's perfect. After golf we prefer the bar rather than the main dining room. Their bar menu has shrimp tacos, beef Wellington, mussels and ahi tuna and many other upscale meals. We do miss the live music in the lounge. Sigh. Folks if you want a fantastic meal this is where you need to go. The main dining room has a fantastic menu which includes steakhouse fare and one or two seafood dishes. The lounge has an upscale bar menu. All in all I have no idea why it was so easy to get in. I'm guessing that many Floridians were up north for the holidays.

We didn't have a reservation but were seated promptly in about 10 minutes. This must be a popular place for celebrations as we were asked by 3 different people, literally every employee we interacted with, if we were celebrating anything...tonight we were just celebrating dinner! I was prepared to splurge and spend any amount of money tonight. Started with a couple of old fashioned drinks. They had an impressive Bourbon menu, however...They didn't have the Blantons Gold, didn't have the regular Blantons, No Eagle Rare, only had enough Four Roses for one, it was hard to get anything special as the actual selection was limited. We ordered the $22 Bacon wrapped scallop appetizer and were disappointed to only get 3 very small scallops. They were good but we expected more for the price. How do 2 people split 3 tiny scallops? They came on a bed of spinach, which I enjoyed. I ordered the 11oz strip steak with blue cheese crust which was cooked as ordered and tasted fine. Nothing special, but a decent steak. My wife enjoyed the pink snapper however, she ordered rice and it came with potato wedges instead. Our server was very nice and was attentive. However the second round of drinks took too long to come to the table. Like 15 minutes too long. Our meal with appetizers and drinks and tip was around $200. We will definitely come back and I might even try their all you can eat bbq option. Maybe I'll be celebrating something...
