Megan EylerJulia was AMAZING! 🍹✨ From the moment we sat down, she was so welcoming, fun, and genuinely easy to talk to. She made us feel like we were hanging out with a friend and was so easy to talk to. The drinks were perfect, her personality was even better, and she kept us laughing the entire time. Her kind of energy is contagious and just truly makes your day better. We’ll definitely be coming back to see her so ask for Julia! She’s a total rockstar! 🌟

gary manciniVenetian Bay Bar and Grill has truly stepped up its game! The new chef, Brandon, is absolutely killing it in the kitchen — every dish we’ve tried has been spot-on with flavor, freshness, and creativity. You can tell he’s bringing real passion to the menu. But what really makes this place special is the atmosphere and the people. The staff is incredibly welcoming — they treat you like family from the moment you walk in. It’s got that perfect neighborhood hangout vibe, where you can relax, enjoy a great meal, and always count on good service and familiar faces. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a go-to spot in town!

Sherry WhiteWe went on a Wednesday night for the prime rib special. It was $34. It comes with a soup or salad and 2 sides. I started with side salad which was mixed greens, tomatoes, croutons, cheese, red onion and sliced cucumbers. I chose broccoli and a baked potato. The presentation is beautiful with a flower and sprig of rosemary. The food was delicious. Our server, Robby, was amazing. He was well spoken on the menu and provided great service. We sat in the back carpeted room. There is a bar in the main room and also an outdoor patio.

Rob H.Our reviews had over 48 million in the last 12 months. We do not get paid we just love to eat and have fun. We really love Clark's now that the chef has changed and the menu has been upgraded. We loved all the apps we had, the LOX and Potato pancakes with Creme Fraiche are a must have, so yummy, the baby brie was served warm with a fantastic fig jam and fruit and crackers, it was divine, be sure to leaf all the way through the menu because the bar favorites are offered in the dining room as well. She had the fig and goat cheese flatbread which was sweet and salty at the same time and was super delicious, the burger was one of the best she has ever had and the bun was so soft it was like eating a cloud. She did not get the Kobe burger, she got the normal one but she loved it. The filet carpaccio app was also excellent, large and super fresh with lots of flavors from the toppings on it. For mains we loved the chicken francaise. Lots of capers, lovely velvety white sauce, cooked artichoke hearts and sun dried tomatoes on a huge bed of angel hair pasta. I loved it. My son had the mushroom pasta and he said it was great. Sweeter than I have had before, but really good. Great if you are a vegan, but he loves meat and he said it was perfect. HUGE portion. For desert we had the chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream, they have about 14 gelatos, we had pistachio and we had a slice of German chocolate cake. All of them were 10 plus, if I had to pick a fav it would the be the warm lava cake. Wednesday nights is prime rib special and Tuesday I think is Tacos, be sure to join their email list as they have lots of fun special menu nights, last week they had German night and I heard it was great. Two rooms here. The bar has 12 TVs so a bit noisy but super casual, the dinning room as 8 tables, but one is very large, they also have 20 tables outside looking over the lake and golf course. Sophia was our server and she was a real joy and a wealth of info. The recent upgrade in the Chef has clearly made a difference here and we will be going back often. It is all SOOOOOOO GOOD!!! Even the bread and butter here is great. Served warm with a nice light yeast flavor, a bit chewy but not too much and super soft. I love great bread like what they serve here. This place has no sign so it can be hard to find, it is the building at the end of the circle drive. Look for the large double doors. Casual dress is fine, even shorts is not an issue at all. Dining room chairs are a bit softer than bar tables, but both are great. Check out all of our reviews and look at all the photos below. If we do not like it we do not review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 48 million views in the last 12 months and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and FUN. If we do a review it is because we love it.
