Daiquiri Deck South Siesta Key

We were in Venice for the Venice sharks tooth festival, wanted to find a place that was outside seating, dog friendly , and had seafood, so we checked off all of the boxes! We were lucky to get seating outside pretty quickly, with downtown being so busy with the festival. The food was very good. The location and atmosphere is great. The service, not so great.l. Our appetizers came about 10 minutes after our entrees. Things were pretty slow in general. I would come back on a non-festival day. The poke bowls were pretty good!

Overall, a good time with family and friendly service! It wasn't busy when got there around 6p so we got seated quickly and our waiter came right over. He was so sweet and considerate of my furbaby. The food all looked great. I enjoyed the ahi tuna bowl $26), lots of tuna. I thought the chopped pickle in place of the usual cucumber was unique. It was filling. My BIL got the blackened mahi tacos $22) with onion rings as a side. They were so crispy! He said the fish was a little too salty. My sister loved her Caesar salad with grilled shrimp. The kids grouper bites and fries was a good portion. The fries weren't the best to be honest but still enjoyable! I do wish our waiter would have verbally mentioned the happy hour deal to spare me spending $33 BUT I got a cup out of it and I could have read the front of the drink menu *shrug*, that's on me! Something to note, it did come with a free refill. The restaurant was clean and everyone looked like they worked well together, quick service. Definitely will come back to try other dishes! Enjoy!

Dog friendly and great drinks, but bad food. Ordered pancakes and over medium eggs- the pancakes were flat and rubbery (Like they wee frozen) and eggs came out raw. The server even said they looked way underdone and she took them back to the kitchen. When they came back they were completely fried burnt. My bf had a MOJO Cuban which came out soggy and just not bery good (even fries tasted old). We will not eat here again.

Overall a good experience. Everyone was super nice but food took an hour and it was obvious that some things sat in the window for awhile. The outside area was great for a large party and a good spot for kids, they also have lots of Virgin drinks for the kids.

The Daiquiri Deck with tons of flavors to choose from and the Lobster Roll with onion rings definitely hit the spot!
