Myakka River Oyster Bar
Venice, FL Restaurant Review

Rating System: - 1=Excellent - 2=Very Good - 3=Good 4=Fair 5=Poor

 

Kurt Stefan party of 2 had dinner at Myakka River Oyster Bar in Venice and rated the Steamed mussels, mahi sandwich, fried oysters very good because, "cooked well and tasted delicious." and writes on March 6, 2007, "A friend and I went to the Oyster Bar for dinner on Sunday night and had a great time. We sat on the enclosed porch and had a nice view of the waterway for sunset. The steamed mussels were served in the steaming tray, no frills but delicious. My Mahi-Mahi sandwich was large and char grilled just right, and my friend's fried oysters were crispy, not greasy, and also delicious. You eat on paper menus with plastic utensils, which adds to the quaint ambiance of the restaurant. Our waiter Justin was friendly and accommodating. It was a very enjoyable dinner, at a very reasonable price. Just don't go in expecting a ritzy establishment and you'll enjoy it."

Jared Sutton party of 2 had lunch at Myakka River Oyster Bar and rated the Grouper Sandwich and Fish and chips basket poor because, "my fiance ordered the Fish and fries basket and what was served was some fries and 4 fish sticks that looked like the came from a box right out of the grocery freezer. You cannot serve frozen fish in Florida and charge $10.00 for it." and writes on October 15, 2006, "I rated the experience a poor because of two reasons:
The first thing that I saw in the menu was a little disclaimer saying that "Sarasota county has asked us to be a paper friendly restaurant and to conserve water" so everything that we ordered was served on Styrofoam plates and cups. If you want to help the environment maybe Styrofoam (being one of the worst things for the environment) is not the way to go.
Secondly, I order a grouper sandwich for $12.00 a little high for a Florida favorite, but then I wanted fries that cost an extra $1.95, and cheese on the grouper sandwich that cost $0.50, and if I wanted it blackened it would of cost and extra $0.75. I think this is crazy, why nickel and dime some on for stuff that should come with the meal. A piece of cheese for 50 cents is crazy, especially when the sandwich cost $12.00 to start with. The frozen fish sticks just topped cake, and for $10.00 that should just be criminal.
Why eat here, you can buy it your self in the freezer section at your local grocery store!"
