We had a fabulous dining experience at Il Venetian! The restaurant is beautiful and romantic, and the personal service was exceptional from beginning to end. We had requested a quiet, intimate table, and they graciously honored our request. This was a birthday dinner for my boyfriend, and the staff truly went out of their way to make the evening special for him. They offered wonderful recommendations, were attentive without being intrusive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed and celebrated. The food was delicious and beautifully, elegantly plated, and we were pleasantly surprised by the reasonable prices given the quality of the food and level of service. Adding to the wonderful atmosphere was the roving clarinet musician, whose music made the evening feel especially romantic and memorable. A wonderful evening all around — romantic atmosphere, excellent food, thoughtful service, and a very special birthday celebration. We would definitely return!

We totally enjoyed our dining experience. The view was spectacular, the service was over the top and our dinner was exceptional. Our server made a great wine recommendation and was very attentive throughout the evening. It was a special occasion (45th wedding anniversary) and we couldn't have selected a better restaurant to indulge in one of our favorite menu items. The bouillabaisse was superb.

Everyone at our table if four thoroughly enjoyed their meal. We shared the deluxe charcuterie (and requested an additional warm baguette so each couple had one). It was divine. Also enjoyed w white wine recommended by our server. Perfect pairing w our salmon dinners (two of us). Another person had the sea bass; the fourth had salad w grilled chicken. Each couple also had banana split and coffee for dessert. Everything was immensely delectable and beautiful. Glad we listened to the recommendations of our server. She was patient as we asked several questions about menu items. It was our first time visiting for dinner. (We have had brunch there before.) Terrific dining experience w a contemporary but comfortable, modern vibe. Will definitely be returning.
