They have very cozy indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly and engaging staff. The owner was present and happy to chat with us with helpful tips about visiting the area. You can tell she takes a lot of pride in her business and the quality of product they deliver. In addition to caffeinated beverages and bakery items, they have an impressive menu of sandwiches and lunch items. We kept things simple by ordering an iced cafe mocha, a dark roast coffee, and a chocolate croissant. You can tell they use high quality ingredients since the iced cafe mocha had chocolate flakes in them, but somehow managed to accent the beverage perfectly without making it too sweet. The chocolate croissant tasted absolutely delicious and had a wonderful chocolate filling inside unlike most traditional recipes...we both agreed it was great and tasty. The owner mentioned she gets her croissants from Europe and does the filling and final baking on premises to serve it hot. I'm not aware of any bakeries that go to all that trouble, but it makes for a high quality product. All in all, an excellent coffee and pastry experience at By The Bay Bistro...it's a place I hope to return to and would recommend to others visiting the Venice, Florida area.

If you're looking for a good start to your day, keep driving. The Food: I'm pretty sure my breakfast combo was cooked in oil that hasn't been changed since the turn of the century. The hashbrowns weren't crispy--they were just a heavy, grey sponge dripping with lukewarm grease and dark burnt. I ordered bacon, but what I got looked and tasted like carbonized wood chips, when I asked for crispy bacon, it was rubbery. The Eggs: Supposed to be cheese omelette with mushrooms, but they managed to be simultaneously rubbery on the edges and swimming in a puddle of mystery oil. Burnt toast, burnt English muffin. Everything felt heavy, oily, and completely un-editable. Save your stomach and your money. There are a million breakfast joints out there--don't risk it on this grease trap.

A bit of a downgrade from previous visits. The menu seemed to have really shrunk. Hash browns were not greasy and they were actual hash browns instead of fried potatoes, which is more often the case around here. The hollandaise sauce was bland, the English muffin wasn't crisp. Certainly not bad, but nothing to write home about, either. We ate here because we were in the area and were happy with our previous visits, but now there are far better places to have breakfast. Try up the road in the Gulf Gate area for other options.

Review of Max's Table in Osprey, Florida: After hearing rave reviews and enduring the typical wait for a table, my anticipation for dining at Max's Table was high. Fortunately, we were promptly seated despite the chilly weather, opting for an outdoor spot. The service immediately impressed us; our waitress was attentive and helpful throughout our meal. As for the food, it certainly met our expectations in terms of quality. I indulged in the chorizo quiche special, which was served with toast and fruit. It was undeniably delicious. My partner opted for the Breakfast Burrito, filled with spicy chorizo, scrambled eggs, caramelized onion, and peppers. It was also enjoyable, but neither dish left us floored. While the food was undeniably good, we couldn't quite grasp the fervor surrounding Max's Table. The quality was excellent, and the service was top-notch. However, the dishes we ordered, while tasty, didn't quite reach the level of extraordinary we were expecting. Perhaps we'll give it another try in the future to see if other menu items leave a more lasting impression beyond the exceptional service. read more

Many people consider breakfast the most important meal of the day. With that thought in mind,it's essential to make sure you enjoy a great breakfast. Thinking about it, you should have a stand out breakfast to start your day. A neighborhood fixture in Osprey, breakfast is the big draw and this place certainly shines. Important to note, Max's serves breakfast, brunch, and lunch until 2 PM. Everything we've had on the menu is very good , including the delicious omelettes that I typically eat. My favorite is the omelette with ham, Swiss cheese, mushrooms and spinach. This omelette has the perfect ratio of ingredients and the pieces of ham and the mushrooms are cut to the proper size. For my side dish I like their house potatoes. Lately instead of toast I've been ordering their homemade biscuits, they're excellent. Max's is clearly one of Osprey Florida's great American breakfast destinations. Salute! read more

Best breakfast in town. My family has been waiting for a place like this. Max's table is family owned and operated and it feels like it. I'm working my way through the menu and I've been crazy about each dish. The pancakes, huevos rancheros, patty melt, gyro, eggs benedict, and bacon have all been excellent. The kitchen really has their act together and it's obvious they want patrons to come back. The staff up front has made our brunch experience super comfortable with a welcoming and energetic vibe. I could go on but I'm getting hungry. read more

Been here A LOT! Lemon ricotta pancakes are awesome. My son loves the fresh biscuits and the cheese grits are good. My other son loved the Belgium waffles and Nutella pancakes. Service has always been good. on weekends you will wait a while for a table if more than 2 people in your party. I like being outside when I'm in Fla but sitting on their patio you are right next to the parking lot and Tamiami trail. Won't stop us from going back though. I'd say it's the best breakfast place by far. Beats first watch and others in the area hands down. read more

I like this place for breakfast as there are not too many options available for me around where I live. It is a nice atmosphere, trendy industrial feel inside and the chef offers up some nicely prepared meals. Family owned and operated. They have a friendly wait staff. You have to get there early though because they fill up fast for breakfast on the weekends. I'm glad these guys finally opened up in my neighborhood. read more
