My brother and I stopped by for drinks at night and enjoyed the quieter atmosphere. The waiter seated us on their outdoor patio which overlooks the canal and you can see the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and Peggy Guggenheim Collection from here. In terms of drinks, the drinks are definitely a bit more expensive than other spots, so you're really paying for the atmosphere and great view. That being said, the drinks aren't bad here. I got a cocktail and it reminded me a bit of lemon Schweppes. They also served all drinks with a side of olives, potato chips, and hazelnuts.

We booked our New Year's Eve dinner here on recommendation of our host in Venice and had high hopes. It was €200 a head including drinks (which might have been the only positive of the night; our glass never emptied before the next pour). The seating was at 20:00, however the aperitif didn't arrive until 20:50. The fruit flies were circling (literally). The aperitif was a mixture of seafood bites. (The highlight being the Prosecco they served again bottomless). The only notable aspect would be the attempt at a cod creme macaron. It lacked in the creamyness of a macaron however it was headed in the right direction. The salmon burger was dry and inedible. The appetizer, yet another 50 minute later, was okay, nothing special. The first one was a panko over easy fried egg on top of mushrooms (labeled as chanterelles, didn't seem like chanterelles) with truffle oil and a potato purée. The second was a traditional Italian medium cooked salami meat with lentils on top. Both middle of the road. The first course of pasta was a disaster. The pasta was an extremely undercooked, far too thick for tortellini which as a result was overly crunchy. The second pasta was a pumpkin gnocchi which was again okay, but nothing special. The main that came out was duck with the most sour tasting over cooked teriyaki apple slice on top. The meal looked completely unappetizing and tasted about the same too. The time is now 23:20 on New Year's Eve. With no end in sight, we left. And had just enough time to grab our bottle of Prosecco and find a nice seat on a dock to watch the fireworks and rescue our night. All in all we won't be back here and I wouldn't suggest to anyone they spend €200 a head on a meal here.
