CHAZ 51 STEAKHOUSE 549 U.S. 41 Bypass, Venice, FL 34285

"Food was very good but service was very slow. Was our first time and we were put in a corner in the booth facing a parking lot. Our waitress never asked if we wanted refills on drinks or another cocktail. When we ordered dessert, it took forever to get. My husband ordered creme brulee and before hand the waitress put a lighter on the table which she said was for the dessert. Another person then brought out our desserts and just left. We were confused what to do and then just poured what was in the metal cup on top and lit ourselves. The waitress never even came back to explain with the dessert and just said they are very busy tonight and hope we enjoyed the dessert. Experience was not what I expected when paying $180 for 2 people for dinner. I understand it was a Friday night but we made reservations. Disappointed cause we saw such nice reviews and the place looked nice on our way out. No plans to go back since it is a 40 min drive and just disappointed."

"Excellent bar experience on Friday night. Amber took great care of us. We had a few drinks and a couple of appetizers. The lollipop lamb chops with the peppercorn brandy sauce were amazing, along with the mussels. Instead of live music this Friday they had two local artists who were painting while we were there which was such an unique experience."

"We celebrated our good friend’s 65th birthday tonight in the lounge. We made reservations and the tables were all set up together; they added glitter down the center, and had a birthday card for our birthday girl. The staff was accommodating and were fine with our bringing in a cake and candles, and then delivered them to our table in style. Tammy was our server and she was fantastic. She took pictures of our table of 15, and the photos were spot on. She made sure to include everyone in the photo as well as making sure that we had any photos that we wanted. The atmosphere was both quiet around us, (we could hear each other talk), yet festive at our table and everyone had a fantastic time. Best of all, the food was great. From the Happy hour specials to the dinner menu entrees ordered, it all was delicious. Everyone was happy with their selection. All in all, a night to remember. Thank you Tammy and Chaz 51. This may well become our group birthday go-to!! Highly recommend for a group special occasion outing!!"

"If I could give this place 100 stars I would! I visit my dad regularly who is a resident of Venice and we have dined here about 5 times now.. the Food is excellent! Beef Wellington is my personal favorite.. the buttery pastry, pate, meat.. melts in your mouth! The service is awesome, especially our favorite server Tammy.. :) She has the BEST personality.. she has a way of making us feel like family.. she has knowledge of the food/business and my whole family loves her. She goes over and beyond!. Yes we come back for the food.. but Tammy is just an added plus in our eyes.. I highly recommend this restaurant if your looking for great food, great atmosphere (they have an awesome lounge) and excellent service! Shout out to Tammy for always making us feel at home here. See you all in April :)"

"Just came back to Florida and wanted to take my wife to a very nice romantic atmosphere to eat and have some wine. Had the mussels and the tomahawk steak. Absolutely fabulous and very very flavorful. The ambience was very soft and romantic. Met the chef and he is very well knowledgeable in flavors to combine with his food!! He is all about making sure his quests are taken care of and satisfied. I will honestly recommend this place to anyone for a good date night!! By the looks there is plenty of room to house larger parties and events."
