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!

The vibe

Vene Bites is a dope local spot I highly recommend if you're in Tallahassee. I got the arepa and it was fire--crispy, flavorful, and made fresh. The vibe inside was so sick, super welcoming and full of energy. The kitchen setup was really cool and clean, and they even had karaoke going which made the whole place feel alive. It seemed like everyone working there was family--not by blood, but by heart. Easily one of the best hidden gems in town.

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.

**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!

Stylish spot with quality food and drinks!!!!!!!!…read more The Edison offers a pleasant dining experience with a modern, inviting atmosphere. The food was well-prepared and flavorful, with a menu that balances classic favorites and creative options. Portions were satisfying, and presentation was thoughtful. The space has a lively yet comfortable vibe, making it a great place for both casual meals and social outings. Service was friendly and attentive, though it slowed a little during peak times. 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

The restaurant has a great ambiance! Everything consumed at our table was great. It's a great date…read morelocation or business meal. There were eight of us at our table. It's a more expensive restaurant in town, but you get what you pay for- and the some. Excellent quality. This is the type of restaurant that needs to be nationally ranked. I went on a Tuesday night and reservations were required for indoor dining-it was full inside. There were plenty of people at the bar and there is also outdoor dining. We had the BANG BANG SALMON BITES, BREAD SERVICE; and GAMBAS AL AJILLO as starters/appetizers. The salmon bites were very good and original. I think most will enjoy the gambas (shrimp in garlic) at the Monroe, but I'm partial to the Spanish traditional style which is very heavy garlic. My table had the following dishes: SOUS VIDE LAMB CHOPS; JAPANESE SHORT RIB; STEAK DIANE (8oz and the ribeye (larger portion); BLACKENED SNAPPER; and my entree, AMERICAN WAGYU RAGU. I tried the steak (ribeye) and it was very good: medium rare. The 8oz steak at the table was cooked medium and although the person enjoyed it- you need to be clear you want to have the steak medium rare, it makes a huge difference. Lastly, my American Wagyu RAGU was great and very original. It's a comfort meal. I needed to add Parmesan, but it was meat heavy - which I loved. The dessert menu is ridiculous. Someone had the ice cream trio & . I had the Monroe Wonderball, see video and/or picture. It speaks for itself.

Oh my gosh the food here is AMAZING!! Definitely make a reservation to ensure you get a good spot…read more We got the garden tiramisu and it was so beautiful. Service was great too!

Thursday evening. Rainy day outside, warm and inviting inside. We've been here before and the…read moreambiance here makes the new place by the interstate just another place. Here is where we go for that special occasion. Tonight Carson was our waiter and he has years working here for Drew (Alas absent tonight), Savour's owner. Carson knew the menu cold along with favorite recommendations. Drinks were excellent and they have a great wine list (although the "by the glass" list was pretty short). We elected to split the Wedge salad (trust me it's more than enough for a $3 up charge) and had the Whipped Feta Cheese with Pita to go with the salads. Charcuterie board was not on the menu tonight. Since Christmas is around the corner and a Prime Rib looms, we elected to forgo steaks. Carson described the Scallops and the description matched the dish exactly. Four big scallops with a great sauce mounded on a bed of fresh corn and (sorry I didn't see what else was there). I had the fresh fish (blackened Flounder) in a New Orleans spicy sauce and rice (I'm not doing this justice). Carson advised this was spicy and it was. It was out of this world. A home run by the Chef (please come out some evenings and say hi - and take a bow). Dessert was a Lava cake with ice cream, one of 4 desserts offered tonight. Trust me, if you like gooey chocolate (like having a chocolate soufflé), this was the keeper. Service was impeccable. We missed Drew welcoming his guests but his team has been there a long time and were quick seating us. Carson was everything you could ask for in a waiter. Fully knowledgeable about the food (he started in the kitchen years ago), checked back often, staged the timing perfectly (how rare is that!) and we are sure to ask for him again. A great evening and the rain had stopped by the time we were leaving. Of course we will be back.

Had an amazing time. Went on Valentine's Day and sat at the bar. It was a great date night for us…read moreand I loved all the appetizers. A couple of regulars were sat next to us and told us to get the bruschetta oysters, which I'm sure the servers/bartenders will try to sell you on it. But honestly, just listen it's a great dish! The whipped feta was also great, but if I went again I'd get oyster bruschetta. The Wolverine was great, next time I'd love to try the hazelnut espresso martini.
