Good food & very friendly staff. I have several food sensitivities including dairy and eggs so my go to is oatmeal when at a restaurant and I was pleased the oatmeal wasn’t made with milk as some restaurants do. There were also many add on options (extra fee) which I appreciated. My husband was very happy with his eggs and bacon. We will return.

The staff greeted us immediately and we could pick wherever we wanted to sit outside. They allow pets on the patio. I ordered the 2x2x2, and the buttermilk pancakes were to die for. My aunt had the crab and asparagus eggs Benedict. The smell was mouthwatering. The staff was friendly and timely.

Quaint little breakfast eatery. Indoor and outdoor seating. Fruit was fresh, French toast had gluten free option - superb. Italian eggs with cheesy hash browns- delicious. Everyone is so friendly, helpful and accommodating! 100 stars. Try it yourself. Oh- the apple cider mimosa- divine!

This well known Venice Island Brunch Eatery is no secret to the Locals, I found that out when I stopped by for Lunch about a half hour from their 2 pm closing time, the line of Diners filing out seemed endless, a testament to their Food Quality, Pricing, & Service. They're open from 7:30 am til 2:00 pm, food is Fresh with Generous Portions, the side salad I had was mixed Baby Greens, Sliced Cucumber, & Grape Tomatoes with Dressing of your choice, I ordered the Grouper Ruben on Grilled Marble Rye, it was Excellent, it came with a side of your choice, I selected the Fresh Fruit. They also offer a Jersey Shore Favorite of Taylor Ham. This combo of Quality Food & Service does not come by accident as the former Philadelphian Owner offers a Lifetime of Experience in the Food Industry, his Expertise in procuring & preparation of Food combined with a Highly Skilled Staff is unparalleled. When you're in the area stop by to give it a try, I'm sure your experience will be positive enough for your return.

Such a cute place and the food was amazing. Got the Philly cheesesteak , and the jumbo lumb crab cake Benedict. The cheesesteak was the most amazing one I’ve ever had yet , the only thing I can complain about is I wish the Benedict had more crab.

All I can say is WOW! This restaurant exceeded our expectations! We arrived and were seated right away. Brooke took our order and had drinks on the table almost immediately. She was even attentive to our dog and brought him a bowl of ice water (his favorite). The kitchen was just as fast as it felt as though our food was out in a matter of minutes. In addition to Brooke’s amazing service, the food was delicious! We will definitely be back!

Found another winner! Blu Island Bistro for breakfast today with three of us - everything was great - Anne Marie is an excellent server! I had the BLT breakfast sandwich, which was delicious and added an upgrade side of Corned Beef Hash - great choice! The other two of us had an Omelette Special and the other was the Veggie Omelette - they both said they were very good choices! Finally, went for the Loaded Bloody Mary - very happy I did!
