   Had a really great time! They were able to easily accommodate our group of 8 and we tried an assortment of things which were all delicious! Especially the frozen Paloma. That’s my favorite drink in town! Wish the Aptos location had a bigger menu as that location is more convenient. But will go back!

   The Cure cheeseburger with bacon and a fried egg is the BEST burger I’ve had in years! I wish it was on the regular menu and not just weekend brunch.

   Waitress tried to rush through the meal, picking up dishes before they were completely eaten. She got impatient and visibly upset when asked to split the bill.

   I love Venus and try to go there as often as possible. Love the drinks. Focaccia bread took forever. At first it was supposed to be to be 5 minutes & I was asked if that was okay and I said yes and then the server moved it to 15 min. After 25 min he came to the table and said it had to be”cooled”. He came 10 more minutes and said it was still cooling. I asked “what is the real story?”. My recommendation would be to just tell the truth from the start!!! I have no idea what was going on but I didn’t like how it was handled… I had ordered a Caesar salad with chicken for my main dish just because I saw focaccia bread on the menu & bread is my weakness. The bread finally came out after we had finished up. I really liked the lady that seated us…she said she was the general manager. We felt so welcomed to Venus when she greeted us.

   The food was all right, but the service and ambiance didn't match the price of the food. It was loud and a bit sterile. The cornbread was very dry. The salmon and shrimp and grits were good, but the steaks were just all right. Our server was nice, but not very attentive. We had to ask for things repeatedly.

    The food and drinks as always were fabulous. In my opinion the value was great. It was a bit noisy (but we expected that). The service however was a bit mediocre and inconsistent. Overall we had a wonderful time and I am so glad we picked Venus for our New Years Eve celebration!
