Reviews for CHAZ 51 STEAKHOUSE in Venice, FL
The steak was so tender and cooked to perfection. Ahi tuna was very good. We are very pleased with everything about our meals.... RAY was our waiter...very delightful and took very good care of us. I do feel like the entertainment should be as good as thefood and it was not... that's the only thing... prices a little high but you do get what you pay for... the steak was betterthan I've had in a very long time ...and what a sweet surprise at the end that was very thoughtful we loved it Read more
Let me start by saying this is a beautiful looking restaurant. The ambiance was soft and comfortable. I made reservations and... was seated right away even though there were others who came in before me but had no reservation. I was offered to sit in theLounge area or the Dining Room. I chose the latter. I was greeted right away by the Manager who introduced herself, poured mewater, recommended I read the story on the menu of the owner, then informed me that my Server would be over soon with bread.Well, "soon" was much later but she came and took my drink order. The Blackberry Mint drink was very tasty but there were toomany mint leaves. I felt like me and my straw were in a war with the mint leaves. I then ordered the Tomato Basil soup - I couldhave eaten a bowl of that soup. It made my day! For my entree, I selected the Parmesan Crusted Scallops which was fresh andcooked perfectly! But, notice by this time I still have no bread. So I asked for my bread and, maybe it was my imagination (orat least I'm hoping) the Server looked as though she was annoyed that I asked. I think I would have overlooked her annoyance ifshe offered an apology for forgetting my bread. But that didn't happen. I certainly would have understood her forgetting - itwas dinner and a packed house. I have to say, the bread was worth the wait. I loved the variety in the different breads thatwere presented. I finished the night with a creme brulee. I'm always excited when presented with fire on my food. It wasabsolutely delicious! I believe this restaurant is well worth returning. Oh, and yes, I read the owner's story on the menu. Itwas so inspiring...I wanted to applaud! I would love the opportunity to meet such an honorable man! Read more
Service was excellent!! Lamb chops were okay, I've had better. Scallops were getting cold and a little too firm by the time our... food came out. BLT wedge salad was delicious, could have used more bacon and hard boiled egg but it was still great. Grandmawasn't a huge fan of her petite filet, said it had gristle and had no flavor. Mushrooms and onions were good, baked potato wasgood. Overall the food wasn't bad, but for the price I expected better. Read more
My husband and I wanted to treat my parents to dinner so, after lots of searching, I made a reservation here. Our waiter was... friendly and helpful but the drinks and food took quite a long time to come out. We were enjoying spending time together, so itdidn’t matter that much, but other diners might feel differently. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks! Read more
There are not enough stars for Chaz. A real chef owned restaurant. Come early for happy hour specials in the lounge. The food... and wine are superb. Reminds me of dinner in a fine French restaurant. Read more
My filet mignon was cooked correctly - just a little pink - and super tasty. The unadorned baked potato was also spot on. ... Everyone else also felt there meat was spot on. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Even gave a couple we werewith a dessert for their special day. The two of us went here to do a trial run eating in the lounge during happy hour. Wasn'tat capacity but by the time we left ever table was utilized - best to go early. My wife had the crab martini paired with thebird bay margarita. I tried the draft beer and the philly cheese with fries. Everything was very good - and the philly was sobig I couldn't finish it. Going to come again for the lounge with several other couples.

Happy hour was good first time ordering Beef Wellington,it was OK but was expecting a slice of beef filet covered with pastry... dough.But it wasn’t as you can see in the pictures. Flavor was good. Would go back for drinks and maybe a burger. Read more
