    The Arepa Vegana
    Dahlia L.

    I was planning to take my son and his roommates for a nice dinner out in Tallahassee. I noticed the 4.8 stars and wanted some good food. I was surprised to see that it was counter service- but we all placed our orders and found pleasant table to sit together outside among several plants and cactus. I ordered the vegan option - which was delicious. Everyone enjoyed their arepas made with just the right flavors. Well done, VeneBites!

    How did I not know about this place sooner? Staff is very friendly, the locations provided an authentic vibe and the outdoor seating is very relaxing. The food is above and beyond tasty and a lot. Since u have moved here from Miami I miss some of the South American cousin and this spot was not visited last for sure....

    This place is absolutely amazing, serving up some excellent Venezuelan food and of all places in Tally. Started things off with tequeños...MUST GET with the garlic sauce. Game-changer! Could have eaten a whole tray of those and called it a day, but then came the pabellón, and wow! Close to the way my wife makes it. The shredded beef was so good and also comes with black beans, rice, guacamole and sweet plantains. I also tried a cachito, which is basically the Venezuelan cousin of a ham croissant but with its own delicious twist. Washed it all down with a Polar Beer, because if you're going for the full experience, you do it right. Tiny spot but super friendly people. If you haven't been yet, go. If you have, you're probably already planning your next visit!

    Food is real, excellent service and welcoming ambiance. Great job muchachos !! The best Tequeños in USA !!!

    Love the vibe here. Everything tastes fresh and made with care. So flavorful, and the portions are absolutely worth the price. My husband and I have tried a few dishes so far and every one has been a 10/10. Can't wait to come back and sample more.

    Food is great, very nice and clean inside. Amazing service and people! Must order the tequenos

    This place was unreal. I'm shocked it's not packed all the time. Arepas are fire. Juices are dank. Cocktails were some of the best I've had. The place does karaoke on Fridays too. If you've never been prepare to have your mind blown.

    Tequeños

    Hard to find anything negative here. People are nice, the food tastes very fresh, and the space is super clean. This was our first visit and we started our meal with the rice count order of Tequeños. Pretty interesting flavors and textures for a person always used to fried mozzarella sticks. We really enjoyed them. The Mrs. ordered the "Arepa de Pabellon" which has shredded beef, Black beans, optional cheese, and fried plantains. Aside from it being huge and hard to eat by hand, we both thought it was okay excellent. I ordered the "Arepa Vegana" which is their vegetarian option. This has black beans, fried plantains, sliced avocado, and I added the optional cheese. Very, very good for a meat free sandwich. We'll definitely come back and try. Ore things...we may even bring the kids!

    Lunch!

    Oftentimes in Tallahassee, it is hard to find Non-American cuisines that are authentic, but Venebites is a winner in my book! FOOD/DRINKS: The menu has a variety of arepas to choose from and they are staple foods in the Venezuelan culture. They also have empanadas, tequeños, cachitos, sancochos and paella but I always get the Arepas because they are so good and so filling! The tequeños are also a great appetizer. My kids love them! I usually get a passion fruit juice with my order but they have other Venezuelan drink options and coffee. SERVICE: Family oriented. Friendly. Welcoming. ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is small with a capacity of 35 but there is also outside seating. The environment has lovely latin music playing in the background and is beautifully decorated yet still cozy. I don't even feel like I am in Tallahassee when I am there. The atmosphere is very cultural. LOCATION: Private parking lot with limited parking. PROs- Food quality (authentic!) and price CONs-Depending on when you go, it might be hard to find parking.

The pictures are from a recent event they did to showcase Monkey Shoulder whisky. They also now offer charcuterie boards from Little Paris, a restaurant nearby. A nice addition! But here's what's really great about the Lounge: if you aren't sure what brand or type of liquor you might want to buy or try, ask for a flight. We wanted to explore various toed of gin and they poured us a flight of different brands. But more than that, they poured it for us straight up and with tonic so we could try then both ways. Then, since they are part of and connected to the liquor store, we could go next door and buy the gins we liked. Pretty cool and very convenient.

Though you cannot enjoy a cigar inside they have a nice covered area outside the lounge. Spirit availability was impressive for the size lounge. I was interested in Redbreast Irish Whiskey and they had 12, 15, and wow 21!!! The lounge inside was what I consider small, bar seating, and some table and comfortable chairs. The outside area was covered. Comfortable chairs with tables and ashtrays to handle about 25+/-. Two TV's. There are standing fans and heaters. There was no service to the outside area, so you picked-up your choice of spirit and got comfortable outside. We enjoyed our spirit and cigars with no one complaining about the smoke. It happened to be a very rainy night and the north area was a bit flooded, but no leaks from above. Pro Great selection of spirits. Cigar and I think cigarettes, evidence by butts in the ashtrays, are allowed outside. The inside lounge was very clean, as well as the two unisex bathrooms. Con The flooded area was unfortunate, but there was only three of us, and it didn't cause an issue. The Ashtrays had been mostly emptied, but not wiped down. Really not inviting to rest your cigar on a dirty ashtray. An easy wipe with a microfiber goes a long way. Not really a Con, but there was no Service outside on the Tuesday night we visited. Overall a nice experience for a dreary night. My friends and I will return, hopefully on a nicer evening. Note: If you don't bring your own cigar, the liquor store has a small selection available right next door.

I had recently heard that this place is a Michelin notable and now I know why. Don't be fooled by the nondescript, gray exterior, the inside is adorable and cozy. Valet is complementary which is a nice touch. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Service is incredibly quick from the time you order to when you receive your meal. Food was absolutely delicious. Hubby and I ordered a few appetizers as well as the chefs tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The appetizers we chose were the charred octopus and the fire roasted oysters. Both were wonderful but the octopus was a standout. For the tasting menu, it changes daily and is 4 courses with a dessert course to round out the meal. Ours happened to include: Sausage w olive tapenade, Filet w tomato and veggie chow chow (so tasty), Duck tostada w avocado crema, Elk filet w hasselback potatoes and asparagus (show stopper), and Orange rice pudding w pistachio cookie crumble which was such a nice, light way to end the meal. One thing to note: they automatically add 18% gratuity to your bill which is split between all front of house and back of house staff. Anything you leave above this will go directly to your waiter. There is a card they leave when they drop off the bill that explains this more eloquently than I am but I found it to be unique that they openly discuss it instead of adding it to the bill with no notice or explanation.

There was no distinct flavor profile... it literally just tasted like sour mix. Wouldn't get that again; however, this is going into one of my favorite restaurants on the east coast !

    **Review: Solid Steak Dinner at The Edison**…read more I had a pleasant dinner at The Edison recently and walked away satisfied, especially with the food. Service was just okay--nothing terrible, but the appetizers definitely took longer than expected to come out. That said, our server was genuinely good: friendly, knowledgeable, and checked on us at the right moments without being overbearing. The appetizers were worth the wait. Both the fried green tomatoes and the crab appetizer were excellent--fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed. For the main course, the steak was spot-on: tender, well-seasoned, and cooked exactly as ordered. The potatoes that came with it were also really good--creamy and tasty without being heavy. We ended the meal with the bread pudding, and it was one of the best parts of the night. It was done perfectly: warm, moist, and full of rich, comforting flavor that didn't feel overly sweet. All in all, The Edison delivers on the food front. If you're after a reliable steak with some standout starters and a strong dessert, it's a solid choice. Ambiance was good, love the historic building. I'll definitely be back for the steak and bread pudding. Recommended!

Overall, The Edison is a solid choice for good food, drinks, and ambiance. With slightly faster service during busy hours, it could easily earn a full five stars

    A truly 5 star experience!!…read more This is a fantastic eatery! Full outside patio, huge inside bar, decor that just screams class, and flavors that will have your taste buds slapping your brain to wake up! Our service was outstanding.. always on the spot and always a very kind soul. The food was expertly prepared and the flavors were pure artistry! From the bread... ohhhh the bread (moth watering in memory), to the main course (a delectable risotto)... to the works of art they call desert! Everything was perfect! The carrot cake was divine!

However, there were 3 chairs at the lower part of the bar inside so we took those. Service was very good and a manager did make a point to check on us. Food ordered was the Bang Bang Salmon bites - pretty good but very light on the sauce, Cranberry Blueberry salad with Salmon bites added - very tasty and large portion, Tofu Stir Fry which was very good (according to my friend) . The house red wine was very good at an average price. However, I ordered a Knob Creek Manhattan which was tremendously over priced! $18 + plus an upcharge for Knob Creek so it was $22 if I remember correctly. I've seen this in a few Tallahassee restaurants and can't understand how these prices are justifiable, hence the 3 star rating. Happy hour drink prices are only available Mon through Thurs. Recommend a reservation on busy weekend nights!
