The outdoor patio space is very inviting and that's what lured my date and I in for dinner on a Friday night. It was a little too warm for outdoor dining, so we headed inside... and that's where the comfortable flow ended. I feel like The Venue has a little identity crisis. Inside, there were tables and some casual seating areas. It had the potential to be fine dining, except there was a man playing typical bar/ island cover music on a guitar. He was decent, but it just didn't fit with the mood. There was a couple sitting next to us, the girl had her shoes off and feet up on the coffee table. I certainly can't hold that against the restaurant, but I was really turned off. Put your feet away ma'am.
Our server was really distracted and while he was friendly, we had to wait for him on several occasions. My date enjoyed his steak, our wine was a decent bottle and my food was cooked well. The menu didn't say it came with mashed potatoes and I was disappointed to find a huge portion on my plate when it arrived. I'm strict low carb and the temptation was not fun, I would have preferred to ask for no potato or sub for another green veggie.
There was nothing to WOW us at this venue, so I likely won't be back.
However, if you're looking for a space to hold a private party, the back room was a good size, nice and clean and I've heard it was affordable.
