Best Restaurants for Groups in Venice

Went for Valentine's Day. We've been a couple of times before this and the food and service have been great. We both got pasta this time. Wife got the mushroom ragu and it was pheno,inal. I had the thai pasta and it was also very goo. We ended with the chocolate pecan pue which was excellent. Service from Alexa was 5 star.

We had an incredible dining experience at The Banyan House! Our evening started at the bar with the signature Banyan Cosmo, which was not only delicious but also came with a fun twist—a bubble on top which was an amazing presentation. It was a perfect way to kick off our celebration for a friend’s birthday. For dinner, we enjoyed the ribeye, short rib, and grouper, and each dish was cooked to perfection. The flavors were rich, the portions generous, and the presentation top-notch. The menu offers excellent choices, ensuring something for everyone. A special shout-out goes to Cem, our server, whose exceptional attention to detail and warm personality made our celebration even more memorable. Cem was attentive without being intrusive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. The patio was airy and provided the perfect ambiance for a relaxed yet elegant dining experience. The atmosphere, combined with attentive service, made the night even more special. Overall, The Banyan House truly exceeded our expectations in every way. Fantastic food, great drinks, and a beautiful setting—highly recommend! We’ll definitely be back.

Cody was hands on. Detailed information for our many questions. I can be a pain. lol. Cheif did a fine job for our special diet needs. Took a friend there for the first time. She was very pleased. Two of us got the lobster tail. I got the glazed grouper/shrimp. Very moist. Ended with the key lime pie which is unique to the restaurant and an Expresso Martini. Oh and thank you for allowing us to push our reservations back a few hours.

Food was average, fish prices high. Service average. Hostess was very polite.
