    Filet Mignon

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking into Prime is like walking into an old style Chicago restaurant. The entrance is stunning with a wall of wine bottles. The decor is burgundy and black and the lighting is dim. Five stars for the ambiance[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Hubby and I sat at the bar which may have been a mistake because the bar staff seemed overworked, tired and bored. Two stars for the service. We started with the Caesar salad. It was crispy, not overdressed and had nice crunchy croutons. The hunks of Parmesan really made this salad. Also the portion was generous. I didn't love the popover. They were cold and didn't add to the meal. I had the prime steak burger which I enjoyed. The exterior had nice grill marks, the meat was tender and cooked to perfect medium as requested. Hubby had the petite filet and pronounced the meat chewy and tough. He didn't even finish it and said it was similar to steak from lower end chain restaurants. Four stars for the food. Will I return. Unlikely. So overall, 3 stars.

    Went here for lunch. Almost had the place to ourselves. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The server was attentive and the atmosphere was nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Not too stuffy but a tad bit upscale.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was really good. Everyone enjoyed their steaks which were cooked just as ordered. I requested a horseradish crust or side that never came out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only really complaint was a few mosquitoes inside that were tearing us up. I think we're still scratching from all the bites.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Either way we will be back again another time. Although might put on some OFF first :).

    Very good place to eat. I had the chicken and my husband had the sirloin. Service was really fast and friendly.

    Came here for dinner with my husband and left so Happy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is so spacious and the pricing is great![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Best Espresso Martini! The food was delicious. I definitely recommend getting the Australian Wagyu NY Strip and the house salad but with Romaine instead. So many sides to choose from and the portions are impressive. The service was phenomenal. Ariel was so kind and her recommendations were spot on! When you come ask for her!

    The food was fresh, prepared perfectly and presented in a fantastic manner. The server, Marlin, was very attentive and was a step ahead. We had the lamb and Prime Rib. Would recommend both.

    Prime NY Strip

    Very nice restaurant, the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, they can describe the dishes to the T. I had the prime NY Strip with the potato's au gratin, Parmesan chicken and the filet. Everything was delicious and the server was great.

    French Onion Soup - solid 4. Tasty and the onions were made to perfection. Could have used some more cheese on top but other than that worth ordering. Pop overs - an interesting and different choice of bread. Not bad but I'd prefer something more traditional. Cinnamon butter was a fun twist. Blackened Prime Rib - Fantastic! 5/5 for sure. The rub is so much better than expected and an explosion of flavor. More on the salty side but, personally, I didn't even need a sauce to dip it in. I'd easily order it again. Fries were also very flavorful. Small filet - dry but because it was ordered too well done. Lobster Mac and Cheese - unfortunately no flavor. Not worth it, especially for an $8 upgrade. Kids meal was phenomenal for what it was! Salmon was really good. Filet mignon - cooked well but unfortunately not much flavor. Just tasted like a sirloin. Dense but not juicy or soft. Overall, it's a hit or miss here. Server was very friendly and attentive, ambiance was just fine (average), but wait for seating and food were extra slow. Given how I lucked out with what I ordered I'd give this place a 4 but if I ordered differently I might have given it just a 3. Next time I'd like to explore the specialty mixed drinks; they look complex.

    Steakhouse dinner tonight!

    June 2, 2026 - Two for Dinner, our 36th wedding anniversary. (we had last been here a year ago for…read morethe same occasion.) First up - PARKING was awesome!!! we parked in their lot and had plenty of choices. yay. Second - When I had made a reservation for our special occasion I was asked "Inside or Outside" which I picked Inside. I was then ASKED "window table?" to which I happily confirmed yes that would be great. I then confirmed to my wife. 6PM, Inside, & Window seating. When I arrived I was quizzed if I had a reservation. Yes. Then I was asked did i want to dine Inside or Outside and I replied I had confirmed an Inside, window reservation. And he brought us to our inside aisle non-window table. When I asked why not a window as I confirmed - I was informed they only give them out when they are available and he can't guarantee it? I then asked "Why do you ask then when the reservation is made?" He just walked away. Probably not a good candidate for a public or customer facing role. As others have stated (and I in my first review) the staff and server experience here is highly variable. 1/10 Third - Our server was excellent and gregarious. we were seated well over 5 minutes until we able to tender a drink order, but then everything went very smoothly. The bus staff seems "nervous" and inexperienced, I had to ask twice for more water. The bread and butter was a little disappointing. one of the rolls was ok, the other either old, stale or did not sustain the heating process very well - inedible. There were two flatbread crackers in the basket as well. 3/10 Fourth - We both got a cup of seafood bisque soup. This was a smooth and flavorful soup. Chunks of seafood of various types and a little shot of sherry on the side to pour on. (my 10 year AA medal pushed it away - smile) 9/10 My wife ordered a Pompano special with scallops and the chef special vegetables and green beans. This was very substantive entree and she did bring half of it home. The fish was nicely prepared and properly cooked, the vegetables were cooked al dente and not just something on the plate - good job. The green beans so nice as a vegetarian / vegan plant based eater I am going to order them as my entree! 9/10 I ordered a shrimp cocktail as part of my main. I haven't had shrimp in a few years, and these were fairly decent. the cocktail sauce was disappointing as I am a Kelchner's horseradish and Heinz Chili Sauce kind of guy.... pink from the 50/50 mixture. The sauce here was a restaurant pack can of catsup and a splash of tabasco. yech. 5/10 Also as my main an Arugula Salad with Roasted Beets, NO goat cheese, Almonds, Honey-Citrus Vinaigrette, Raspberry Coulis. A VERY nice salad with an extremely fresh and beautiful collection of arugula lettuce, and the roasted yellow and purple beets were nicely cooked and prepared. The dressing was light and tasty and not some gloppy oil slick of goo. 10/10 Finally, our server brought us out a little keylime pie to commemorate our occasion, we were actually pretty full from the dinner and declined dessert but she brought this out and we took a few pictures!!! VERY nice touch!!! Thank you. I think the kitchen has improved over the last three reviews and last three or so years. The reservation and front desk and the service is variable and inconsistent, still. The communications and reservation situation is flawed - a reservation is between two parties - if we agree on something the expectation is we BOTH deliver (I arrive on time and pay, and the establishment seats and accommodates as per the expectation) Both should expect what was agreed to? Obviously this is all personnel and seasonally dependent here in Venice, FL, now that we enter the slow and less tourist oriented I think the employees and the patrons will be less wired and unpredictable. My wife and I have discussed a mid summer visit to the Crow's Nest - maybe for my birthday in August?

    Every time I go and eat upstairs, the more convincing I need to return again to the upstairs. Each…read moretime I go, something is off. Once again went with friends who are visiting, I live close by. The service was worse than before, had to flag the host down after 20mins of not being acknowledged by any server. The manager has been an issue in the past 2 previous visits. I'll continue to frequent the lounge. The servers are great and I can order the whole menu.

    This is another one of our "must come back" places when we are in Venice. This is our third time…read moreback (three for three). Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!

    I went to Darrell's casual Southern restaurant to get some BBQ but I chickened out. Quite…read moreliterally. I couldn't resist the offer of lightly battered fried chicken livers AND a two piece fried chicken platter w two sides. The livers were very good- right out of the fryer and not heavily battered. I don't know why but it was served with a side of mild buffalo sauce. You could also dab it in some of their homemade BBQ sauces. The dark meat fried chicken was also very good- lightly battered and right out of the fryer. I chose collards and mashed potatoes w gravy. The greens were tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes were also good. The sides and a square of sweet cornbread rounded out the southern comfort food platter. Beer and wine is served along with sweet teas and soda. The servers were friendly but were slammed going table to table. I thought about a slice of the frozen peanut butter pie to go but bailed on it. My meal was very good. This is the spot where the locals eat.
