Sometimes it's slow service and the morning buffet can be cold but they have fun events and really good lunch and dinner. I'll go even when I'm not staying there especially since I'm local. The manager DJ is amazing as well read more

Prime Rib Wednesday is delicious. And fish Friday is the best! Don't go anywhere else for fish. It isn't fancy but for a great Lent meal definitely go here! read more

The Yelp app reports that the Venezia restaurant and bar are open for business 7am-9pm. Not so. Closing time is 8pm. Venezia management needs to update Yelp's info. The Friday Night Fish Fry is All You Can Eat, and extraordinarily high quality. The meal is crafted from fresh fish and unpeeled potatoes. $15.99 for this dinner is a genuine bargain. read more

THE restaurant was empty, but food and service was excellent...mabe the rush was over since the parking lot had quite a few cars in it. Since covit,the restaurant really picked up quality quite a few notches. Been great every time we went there for the fish,London Broil and now Prime Rib..Compared to other offerings in the area,this place beats them all. Can't understand for the life of me why there isn't a line outside the door..definately on our go back list..On Friday probably going to the AYCE fish fry. When 12-15 bucks is quite common for a hamburger now,do yourself a favor read more

Went here on a Friday night, the big draw is their fish fry. Waiter assumed we were there for that and did not bring us a menu. when I ordered a bud light, he response was fried on blackened. I responded with a confusion asking how does a bud flight come fried or blackened. He responded that most people come here for the haddock fish fry. ok, we will try it. our first piece of fish was worth 4 to 5 stars, served hot, nice coating on it and the fish was fresh and tasty. we then were served the second piece of fish and the world changed, it was so tuff you could not cut it with a fork you needed a knife. the fish was dry, overcooked and terrible. second serving was 1-2 stars. we did not try a 3rd serving. Place is very popular with a wait of 15-20 minutes to get a table. Fish was served fast after ordering. read more

In town for a family event for a few day. Spent time at both the inside bar and outside bar ( which are connected). The bartender, name tag Jennie Craig (better known as Luke) was great. When the weather was warm we sat outside and enjoyed the football playoff games. tasty bar food was available. I recommend the buffalo shrimp and baked pretzels. The outside bar had a fair number of "locals" most were great but some were a little ruff. Luke kept everyone in check. Our local college team was playing and they happily put the game on one of the tvs. One night they had a good guitar player on the patio Recommended Slainte read more

We (2 couples) went for happy hour tonight at 5:30pm. We ordered drinks and food. 1 couple each ordered a gin/tonic, while the 2nd couple each ordered a screw driver. When the bill came, the gin/tonic drinks were at happy hour prices, while the screw drivers were not. Same size glasses for both drinks. When the bill was questioned the waitress explained that the screwdrivers were "named" drinks and thus not applicable to happy hour prices. We weren't told this when we ordered originally or when we all ordered a 2nd round. The screwdrivers were $7 each ($28 total) , the Gin/Tonics were $3.50 each ($14 total). Same size glass, some ratio of alcohol. read more

Waitress very rude. Completely disrespectful and disregarded the other people in my party because they arrived to the table after I was already seated. It almost felt like it was because of race. I (Caucasian male) was treated with respect and class but my two companions (African American males) couldn't get questions about the menu answered and when they did get a reply they were met with attitude and snobby remarks. Even hearing how she talked to other guests completely turned me off about ever visiting the restaurant portion of this Hotel again. A guest asked if it was self seating or assigned. The waitress replied to an older couple with "whatever sit wherever you want I don't care" and threw up her hands and stormed off to tend to another guest. I'm not usually one to complain and leave reviews. But this is absolutely unacceptable and disrespectful. It's obvious that said waitress was overwhelmed with the amount of people she had to tend to in the dining room, but something needs to be done about her attitude. It's completely unacceptable to treat guests in this manner because it's a busy night. Wait time to get my food was excruciating, refills on drinks were non-existent. Will never be dining here again. read more

Stayed at the hotel and decided on our last day to try the breakfast. Open seating, the table we sat at the chairs had food crumbs and the ketchup was dirty. Server was very friendly was working the whole restaurant herself so very busy! Food didn't take long and was delicious! read more

Staying at this motel and was amazed at the delicious food coming from the kitchen. Kudos to Chef Frazier. They have delicious breakfast buffet as well as Ala Carte, lunch, and dinner. His food is fresh. Not prepackaged, processed junk. He's a real asset to the restaurant. They have an all you can eat fish, chips, slaw on Friday for $10.99 and they were packed!!! Sat nite is all you can eat London Broil, veg, potatoes, salad for $14.99. Wed nite was Prime Rib. All delicious. A little gem to know about. Staff so friendly, too. A real pleasure. Real, made from scratch food!!!! I'm a foodie...this place is a big yes. read more

so today was my first time coming. I came with family without expecting how good the food was! It was so delicious and we were so hungry. The pizza was amazing and the burgers too. This restaurant was close to the beach so it was cool and it wasn't that hot. Thank you to our waiter and the beautiful lady we found! She was amazing and complimented us. The waiter understood us very well. In reality and in all honesty, this food was amazing and delicious. I definitely recommend it. read more

Great all you can eat fish on Friday. Blackened was excellent! Fast friendly service. Will be back

I was excited to try this restaurant at the hotel. Much to my dismay, the food was cold and there appeared to be a bug fragment in my fruit! The buffet has a nice variety: oatmeal, yogurt, chopped fruit, biscuits n' gravy, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, muffins, donuts, bacon, mini Belgian waffles and French toast. There is also juice and coffee. If this were not a free breakfast (with Groupon), no payment would have been tendered. read more

Stayed here for a week and ordered some hot wings by the pool. Wings were delicious! They were crunchy and big. You get 10 wings for $12. I think they have a special on Wednesdays for wings. read more

First, let me just say i really wish i could give negative stars. I came here with my family today (Easter). It was not busy at all, only us and 2 other tables. We had called two days before asking about the menu and specials. They told us there was an Easter special menu and we can order from the regular menu. When we get there we were not handed anything but the special menu. We asked our horrible waitress and she said they are only serving food from the special menu. So we couldn't get what we had wanted to get because it was on the regular menu. We waited close to 20 minutes before she came back to get our order. As we are waiting for our food to cook another table came in and we noticed they got handed a drink menu and the regular menu, so we asked that waitress if we were allowed to order from the regular menu and she said of course. So now we are pissed because our waitress told us no. Also while waiting we saw another table get bread and butter, so we asked for some and the waitress said 'it's $2 extra'. That's so embarrassing that she has to charge us $2 for 4 little rolls when we just ordered a $35 entree of which we didn't actually want but were forced to get since we were told only the special menu. We get our food and it's just not good at all. Tastes bland and it's under cooked. We debated for a good 5-10 minutes if we should even say anything because no matter what we would just be disappointed. This one server an older lady was really nice helping us and got us a greek salad instead of the lamb that wasn't cooked right. We get our bill and they still charged us for the lamb. So we asked the server to take it off and split the bill. She split it wrong of course. We finally get the bills correct and let me tell you we gave this server nothing. She didn't deserve a single penny. To be honest she should have paid us for the sh*t service we received. All of this happening and no one thought to get a manager for us. Very very poorly trained server. She should not serve another table until she can learn how to actually serve. Workers like her and managers who don't care to visit a table that got messed up so badly will surely allow this place to shut down and i'll be waiting for it to happen. I will never come back here or give it a second chance and i will be spreading this horrible experience with everyone i know so that they don't waste the time or money coming here. read more

Love the decor, food, pleasant staff, and live music. If they could just get some managers that cared about getting people in here that would help. read more

Got there for a last minute wedding, oh shit kind of a deal, due to the weather and I have to say: they went above a beyond to accommodate us and save this beautiful day. Thanks. Ace and Sol wedding. read more

Just had a terrible experience at lunchtime. Couldn't get either of 2 waitstaff to take our lunch order. The restaurant was not very busy. There was a large party who had ordered early and their lunches were being delivered. There were 2 other tables of two who got waited on & their food delivered before my party of four - we had arrived first. When we asked the second time if we could give our orders the waiter (I was told at the front desk when I complained that he was the manager) was extremely rude. We left without having lunch and will never return. read more

Great service by Debbie!!! She is the best!!! Restaurant wasn't really open yet but she was very accommodating. Made our food quickly and even catered to some special needs. The food was great but the service was even better! read more

The fish fry is the best we've had. And we're from the Midwest, where the weekly fish fry is a long tradition. The only drawback is the amount of time to wait to get seated, but I guess the secret is out read more

We went for the Sunday breakfast buffet. Plain scrambled eggs, sausage links, creamed chipped beef, potatoes, muffins, hash, fruit, coffee, tea, and OJ. The "pastries" were small and out of a bag or box. This is a buffet and drinks were not served. However, we did have a very pleasant young woman who introduced herself as our server. Truly, the only thing she served us was our check - everything else was up to us. This is not like a Chinese restaurant where the server brings hot tea and needs to keep clearing the dishes. I always tip at least 20% (usually 25% - 28%) for a non-buffet meal and the tip varies for a buffet. For the first time ever I tipped one dollar which I think was generous given the fact that I was tipping her for bringing our check and literally nothing else. The bill for two (not including the tip) was almost $18. For that amount we can go anywhere for breakfast and be served as well. All in all it was OK but we will not return. For that price the hotel could have provided omelets and real pastries at the least. read more

We are at the Venezia for the Easter Buffet. The cost was $25 per person and we had to use paper cups for the coffee and had to serve ourselves. In addition while the food was acceptable the desserts were simply pettifors that can be purchased at a food distributor. Finally when we paid, we overlooked the fact that a $20 gratuity had already been added by the restaurant and another $25 was added for gratuity. When the server took the credit card she did not ask if we meant to add a duplicate tip. We did not expect a high end buffet but these items were a BIG disappointment. read more

THE WORST BRUNCH EVER! Let alone for a Mother's Day Brunch. We were a party of eight that went there today for a 1 pm seating. Total chaos. We were seated for 20 minutes before we ever got silverware. They totally forgot the "breakfast" part of "brunch." No scrambled eggs, no bacon, no sausage, no French toast, no pancakes. The only thing breakfast was an omelet station and the lone cook was working his but off but you would have to wait a long time. They did have dry chicken, fatty pot roast and bland pork loin with some dried out potatoes and some withered cooked veg. No bread, no rolls, and no bagels left. When we got to the dessert table it was virtually empty. They also charged extra for hot tea or iced tea. Service was NON-EXISTANT and they charged an automatic 20% gratuity on top. STAY AWAY. IHOP would have been better. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I was excited to eat out for Mother's Day. Big mistake coming here. First, we got up and started serving ourselves after waiting for a server for 30 minutes. The food was disgusting and offered very few options. They ran out of plates so there was a line. They weren't even that busy, but nobody seemed to know what was going on. At the end of our meal, a snotty waitress with a bad attitude actually came over and acted like we just there and asked us if we needed anything. Apparently, they don't care about actually waiting on customers, since tip was automatically added in. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Worst experience ever and worst Mother's Day experience EVER. read more
