    It's a fun little café

    We went early on a Sunday morning to make sure we could sit at a table and watch the planes outside. A waitress was very pleasant and the Caribbean music was playing again ! Hubby's coffee came quickly and the waitress did a great job of keeping it hot. I ordered the bi-plane and I had two yummy pancakes with eggs over easy and lots of tasty bacon. Husband had two eggs, two sausage patties, grits, and raisin toast. He enjoyed his meal. There were lots of planes there, but only one took off while we ate our breakfast

    Sunday, August 17, 2025 - three for breakfast for my birthday after church and before the beach! My wife has been coming here for years with her mom many years ago and recently with friends. This was my first visit. They were NOT part of my 31 breakfast restaurants roundup I did between 2021 and 2023 because they do not seem to mention or do Eggs Benedict. They do have a poached egg item on the menu. (spoiler alert: they would have been 32nd) NOT part of the rating, but as a comment. It seems maybe with the open kitchen and grill setup or maybe it was just this day (I did not ask) but the air conditioning was CLEARLY not up to the task and it was in the 80s in the restaurant..... a bit uncomfortable for sure as we were in church clothes (long pants, socks hard shoes, dress shirt and my wife in long dress etc.) Even in shorts near the windows where we were it had to be mid to upper 80s F. Service was spectacular and all the servers seems gregarious and friendly and a real asset to the place. They kept mentioning the chef and he and the other cooks were out and about bringing entree and checking on a few folks. It seemed a lot of locals and regulars in the off season. (we live in Venice as well year round) My wife ordered what she had before which was the St. Lucian Breakfast Quesadilla Scrambled eggs, cheese, sautéed peppers, tomato, onions and roasted pork inside a grilled tortilla with salsa and sour cream. she got the plantains as well. The quesadillas were pretty wet and she noted little overly cooked compared to the last times she was there. Maybe the packed house and the quantity of patrons had things a little chaotic in the kitchen? The plantains were very oily and wet as well. 6/10 My daughter went with the Biplane. Two eggs and two pancakes with your choice of bacon, ham, or sausage. w/chocolate chips for $1 extra. She ordered the eggs over easy.... and they came properly cooked1 from a yoke perspective. However they were very quickly hot heated/fried with what my family used to call "mom's veil of burnt oil/butter in the bubble pockets of the egg and around the circumference. Not low and slow, but FAST fried. The whites were a little crunchy around the edges and on the surface. 4/10 Her pancakes were a little 'powdery' grainy as if maybe not well mixed or maybe not mixed correctly? not horrible. 6/10 She is a sausage fan but likes to see what is coming out before she orders the patties or the links as this items varies significantly from restaurant to restaurant. So she went with the bacon. there were about 3.5 strips. Absolutely annihilated & over cooked - almost bacon dust. and yet the entire plate had about 4 tablespoons of bacon grease flowing around and the bacon was glistening. HAD to be a fast nuke job on a plate. My daughter was paper towel blotting the oil/grease butter off the eggs and bacon plate as I was taking the pictures 0/10 inedible... her side order of toast had been pre-melted with a patty of butter on each piece and wet and soggy. not touched. 0/10 I got (the birthday boy? (smile)) the Flight Attendant's Omelet which is Fresh mushrooms, onions, tomato, green peppers, and spinach traditionally served with refried beans and salsa. I also asked for NO CHEESE on my omelet? I opted for an English muffin for my bread. Like my daughter's eggs and my wife's quesadilla, my omelet was one could almost imagine "seared" cooked on a hot plate or griddle. Honestly when I first smelled and ate it, the omelet smelled "fishy" or as if it was cooked in the same plate or griddle as the crab cakes I saw on the menu???? the butter or oil at a very high heat? If you dig up the picture here the omelet is dark brown and yet the inside was very wet and just warm? the spinach and veggies possibly stewed and cooked and just added in there but not hot. the egg was not enjoyable and actually dry. Just a very rushed and too quickly cooked egg dish? 4/10 The refried beans were also dry as either a little old or possibly refried - refried beans and just reheated again in the microwave or something. Unexpectedly they had cheddar cheese melting on top of the beans? (asked for no cheese on the omelet but had no idea I need to ask for no cheese on the refried beans?) There was mention of a salsa? but not sure where that was or might have been in??? 4/10 The coup de grâce for my meal was the "English muffin" ? Like my daughters toast, it was buttered all over and inside? and it was COLD!!! It was actually colder than the area I was sitting in at 82 F or so? took one bit but could not chew it. 0/10 This was not a good visit, I am sad to report. And it pains me to share this with fellow Yelpers. Possibly I am being overly harsh because I am typing a 5 outta 5 review for a dinner we had in Sarasota the night before.... this was more than 4 stars away on that scale though. So I am submitting as a 1. (frown)

    "The Lindbergh" included the best tasting scrambled eggs & French toast anywhere.

    If it's busy, be prepared to eat and run! Unfortunately, my last visit yesterday, is literally my last. Have been coming here for several years for exceptional, albeit pricey, breakfast and lunch. Food and service again this time were excellent but because my friend and I evidently lollygagged too long after finishing our meal, owner, Chef Tony abruptly came to our table and grabbed our tickets with which we had not yet placed our credit cards, and said in so many words, we had to leave because there were people waiting to be seated. This was shocking and surprising because two different servers had come by and refilled our coffee cups with no indication that we needed to leave while enjoying a relaxing after dinner conversation. I'm sorry I won't go back even though the food is excellent, and the servers are very friendly and fun. But the owner is not!

    Quesadilla omelet.

    Ok. So we've been wanting to try this place just a little bit. Got a table by the window so you could see the runways and planes taking off. Not Dulles or anything but nice views of planes taking off. Place is diner-like which I like having grown up in Philly going to diners all the time. Service is very good and servers are pleasant and quick. As for the food I got the Flight attendants omelet - it was dry and not very flavorable. Provolone cheese was just laid on top. Not much else to say. My partner got the quesadilla and it was pedestrian at best. Coffee was ok - regular or decaf. Maybe other entrees are better. Very nice people working there.

    Fun for the kids :)

    Being locals it was about time we came here. So many people had told us such great things and so we decided to beat the winter crowd and came in this past Saturday morning. Thankfully, we got seated right away which was a real treat considering there aren't that many tables! We loved our food! I'd say it's pricey, but special enough where the total bill doesn't necessarily scare you. My son raved about his kids pancake which was adorably designed with fruit (and husband confirmed it was really good). My husband had the St Lucian Quesadilla and said it was probably one of the best breakfasts he's had - loved the flavors of the meat in it. I enjoyed their Venetian Omelet without cheese and it was really fresh tasting. They unfortunately don't have gluten free bread so I had to skip that side. We will be back! It's great for kids (and adults too). We thoroughly enjoyed watching the planes coming and going.

    A great little restaurant at the Venice airport. Only saw the lunch menu since my guest and I were there after 11 AM when breakfast ends. Great diversity in the menu with so many different delicious looking foods. The chef from St. Lucia has a good thing going. I enjoyed the crabcake sandwich, which was billed as the best one in Sarasota County. Not sure if it is, but it was a great one.

    Rabbit stew

    Another great breakfast at our favorite hidden gem. Love the music, the food and the service. Always top notch! We will be back soon

    Private airport.

    Corn beef hash was outstanding made in house. I had the iced pecan coffee with fresh vanilla creamer which was tasty. The view of the planes taking off and landing was definitely a sight to see. The private airport was luxurious. Chef/owner was sitting at the front inviting everyone as they entered.

    Let me start by saying the service is TRASH…read more The only time you'll get any customer service is when the wife decides to be in a good mood and that's usually only around midday. Coming here for breakfast will leave you and your children's stomachs in hell. They do not answer the phone or communicate properly. Even though online it says they're "OPEN" at 9 a.m., in reality they open whenever the grandma in the back decides to take her time and finish what she's doing. My friend, her daughter, and I stood outside repeatedly knocking on the door, watching them look at us without having the decency to come and tell us they needed a few more minutes since they weren't opening on time. We couldn't even get that basic communication. It's sad to see so many Haitian businesses come to Lehigh just to FAIL over the basics. NEVER AGAIN. You're better off going home to make your own breakfast or going to Mickey D's. I'm highly disappointed.

    What an amazing discovery in Lehigh Acres!…read more Walked in with zero expectation and immediately, you'll notice the fresh ocean blue ambiance. Pictures or art works are over the walls. I believe this was the former Andy's Cuban Restaurant but a new owner made an expansion and upgrade. Now it is Jacmel's Caribbean! I asked if they have Ke Bef or (Haitian Oxtails). They normally serve this daily but not today. I quickly select Kabrit (a marinated fried goat) with a salad, plantains and bean and rice. The salads are fresh. The goat meat was tasty and full of flavor. The bean and rice combination were amazing seasoned and the plantains just hit the spot. Well worth the drive just for Jacmel's Caribbean! The staff is super friendly and more than happy to answer question you have. We already plan out our next dinner selections like Groit Kochon, Ke Bef, Lumbi, and more! Give Jacmel a try, you'll love this place!
