Was also looking for some Rusty apparel but unfortunately was sold out in my size. I went to pay for the shirt and the owner gave me a Rusty hat since they didn't have my size in a Rusty shirt.

The first time I visited, I saw the most beautiful pair of frames I had ever seen. I was leaving for home too soon to get an rx filled, but that lovely pair that never was, still haunts me. This time, I went early in my visit so I would not run out of time. Of course, the lovely pair is long gone, and the others in that line were just not as exceptional as the one I will never forget. Trying on glasses is really fun for me. I do not like the simple blend in type. Bring on the dramatic. This is the perfect place for that. I picked out a really dramatic pair of rx sunglasses which will be ready to pick up before I go home.

They recommended Eyes On You. I did not think my glasses could be saved but I thought I would try. When I walked in, the first thing I noticed was lots of super cute styles (and an adorable little dog sleeping on a chair). She was more than happy to fix my glasses even though I wasn't buying glasses from her. She did an amazing job and I can't even tell they were flattened. I highly recommend this business.

Always understaffed and the wait time is excessive.

Sat at the desk for 25 minutes waiting to be helped and he kept saying he would be he was busy with customers that did come in after me so I left.

I'm also restricted to driving with them and just moved to Fla, so didn't have an eye doctor yet. I chose Eyeglass Maxx Venice based on the excellent reviews online and couldn't be happier. I called ahead to confirm I could get glasses made the same day and wasn't able to arrive before 1:00. From the moment Virginia answered my call until 2 hours later when I walked out the door, I was treated as a valued, longtime customer. I had a coupon I found online, but Jamey gave me options that saved me more money than using the coupon. My glasses were ready in under 90 minutes and I love them! Jamey is knowledgeable, kind, customer service oriented and ensured everything I was "fussy" about was in place. I have not had good experience with same day glasses in the past and shared that with him, but my glasses are as perfect as the ones I've paid quadruple the price for at my eye doctor's office in another state. I am definitely bringing my husband here soon to get his glasses and highly recommend Eyeglass Maxx for value, high quality product and outstanding service.

After checking, they realized I did pay, but never apologized.

The staff came off dismissive and made it feel like everything was my fault.Overall, very unprofessional service and no accountability. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Sure there are some unique items but most are the same stuff every other gift shop in a beach town sells - if you're wondering why I'm here well I was looking for a refrigerator magnet for the RV documenting our visit to the area. I spent about 10 minutes here and fortunately never reached for my wallet since I never found anything that I couldn't live without - the staff here was scurrying around mostly silent with their heads on a swivel looking for those's with bad intentions I guess - the prices are what you'd expect not outrageous being there is plenty of competition bidding for your dollars close by. I'm sure the margins here are quite good so maybe try doing a little bargaining so you'll feel better about making a purchase that will likely end up in a junk drawer or you're next garage sale...

During his appointment, no one asked him if he wanted a refraction or told him they were doing a refraction but he was charged $75 when he checked out. He informed them he did not authorize this. They were unconcerned and unhelpful. He later called the office and spoke to two people. No one cared. He was brushed off. This is a scam to trick patients and take $75 from them. My husband is almost 80 years old. He had no knowledge of the refraction procedure and was never given an opportunity to decline it. Beware of this group, they are dishonest and do not value their patients.
