on Citysearch Apr 21, 2009As my headline states, it's a great restaurant for the city feel, yet I'm close to home! I met up with a friend who I haven't seen in a long time so we had a lot of catching up to do. We were seated in the lower level (a hidden... (more)

on Citysearch Mar 23, 2009I was very impressed. My first time was on a Friday night with my friend. We had no reservations and waited at the bar. By the time we ordered our drinks the hostess had already come down to seat us. She politely waited for... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 14, 2008This was the worst meal I have had in a long time. Chicken Limone had zero flavor, the red sauce too spicy and the lettuce was wrapped on the plate in the refrigerator much too long. Don't bother going, unless you are... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 06, 2008Don't go. It is a simple as that. When we first walked it we were excited-the down stairs looked great and we grabbed a drink at the bar...after that our night went down hill FAST. So they have martini's...who doesn't?... (more)

on Citysearch Jun 10, 2008I had to laugh when I just read bates2001's review on the Venetian Moon. This place has a lot to offer: I've had many delicious meals here (as well as good times with friends). I too have also dined at the finest of 5 star... (more)

on Citysearch May 25, 2008How anyone can compare this place to a 5 star restaurant obviously has not dined in one. To be 5 star is a combination of quality of food, good service, and ambience. Which venetian moon does not possess top rankings in... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 21, 2008I went to Venetian Moon this past weekend for my girlfriends Bday dinner. I can't say that I will ever go back. We got there and had to wait to be seated. There was no sitting room or room at the bar so we stood in the middle of... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 26, 2008The amazing martini selection and high quality of the drinks made up for the slightly slow service. The ambiance of the downstairs area felt swanky and sophisticated, but as for a "happening" bar scene, (it was rated... (more)
