    The sides are so good you really don’t need an entrée. Delicious choices to fit any budget. Regardless of price, all the offerings are exceptional. Then there are servers. They all make the experience a delight.

    Everything about our dinner out at Venue was absolutely perfect. The food, beginning with the appetizer and wrapping up with desert, was delicious. Our server, Nicole, was delightful and made our dining experience special. Thank you Nicole! Looking forward to our next dinner at Venue.

    Service was very good. Allowed to substitute one side without an uncharged. Only complaint was what was substituted must have caused a kitchen snafu as the rest of the meal was on the cold side. Great menu and reasonably priced.

    The meat was excellent but the vegetables were cold and even warmed up not what you would expect from Brussels sprouts and asparagus not done.

    Service was excellent. Reagan was our server and she was attentive but not hovering. Pleasant but didn't intrude on our conversation.
