    Ashley was wonderful. Service was slow but you were busy. Brussels sprouts and salmon were cold and salmon was dry.

    Reservation was made easily. Ambiance was good, especially the beautiful lit up tree in the center of the dining area. The noise level was not noticeable at all. Customer service was good. The food was excellent. My only disappointment was that nothing special is done to acknowledge one’s birthday on the part of the Restaurant. Overall the experience was an enjoyable one. I recommend this Restaurant for fine dining. Thank you.

    We are always happy dining at The Venue because we know in advance that the food will be excellent, the service exceptional, and that we will leave looking forward to our next dinner out, always at the Venue, unless we are in New York City.

    Always fun to go to the Venue. Great service, very polite servers, & efficient. Reasonable prices, especially at happy hour. Just be prepared for noise, typical at popular places. It just seems like a hopping place, always. It makes it fun!
