Flynn's on Venice Ave 133 West Venice Avenue, Venice, FL 34285

"I made a Valentine's Day reservation and was looking forward to a wonderful and first dining experience at this restaurant. Regrettably, it turned out to be the worst dining experience I've ever had for a restaurant of this caliber. The appetizer had burnt walnuts, the rack of lamb was extremely thin, overcooked and had to be returned twice. The order was then changed to a filet mignon and it came out bloody red twice. The manager was gracious enough to comp everything but it was a total disaster, I'll never dine there again. Thankfully there was an Irish pub close by and although the ribs and pizza hit the spot it wasn't the dining experience expected."

"We dined here tonight for the first time and were pleasantly surprised! Wonderful ambiance, a relief from the busy crowds at the other restaurants nearby. The menu was varied with vegetarian, seafood, even duck l'orange. Prices typical for fine dining. The staff was courteous and friendly. All in all, it was a great experience. I had the special, turkey pot pie, and my husband had the vegetarian cauliflower steak with an herbed cheese sauce. It was outstanding! We'll be back."

"Had a reservation for Christmas Eve for 3 of us at 7:30pm. I was told when I made the reservation that if I did not cancel 5 mins prior to reservation my card would be charged $10 per person. I had to cancel at 5:30pm 2 hours prior to the reservation because my older daughter got sick. I was upset because I had been looking forward to their menu. My daughter said "Don't worry we can still go another time." The woman on the phone was very rude and said "Your card might be charged $10 a person." I let her know what they told me when I made the reservation about 5 mins prior and said there are still 2 hours so I'm confident they will be able to fill the table at 7:30. She was still very rude. 15 minutes later I got a text that my credit card was charged $32.10. Now i have no desire to go there ever. I was telling everyone at work co-workers and patients how I was so excited for dinner there. Now when they all ask how it was they will get this story. I guess I should have gone alone with my 10 year old and left other daughter at home. Merry Christmas!"

"Very disappointed with my most recent experience at Flynn's on Venice Ave. The server was very pleasant and attentive in taking our orders. Then we waited about an hour for our meals to come. When they arrived, the food was bland and room temperature at best. If it had been busy I might have understood but there were many empty tables."

"Great place for food, and atmosphere. I had a wonderful time meeting my Highschool friend there. It is the perfect place to meet, eat and talk. Service was very good."
