Tucked onto a Main Street with tables outdoors, some tables inside and a bar. This wine and beer bar is quaint and delicious.
Starting with some pate, barley soup and cheeses with pears, honey and blue cheese to finish. Crackers were too thin and the soup was a little thyme heavy.
Delicious and would definitely go back.
Wine specials and carefully thought out menus make this a spot you want to give your business to.

Our party of 8 ordered grouper, shrimp, salads, crab sliders and clam chowder to name a few. Most of our food got good reviews, though clam chowder was just so-so. Our service was not great. Had to ask for drink refills and not all orders were correct but got straightened out so gave 4 stars. May try again.

My husband and I went to Howards for lunch after Easter service. We did not have a reservation and they were completly booked for Easter lunch but the hostess offered us a seat at the bar. We were pleasantly surprised by how clean and comfortable it was. We were immediately waited on by Kristy. We both ordered their lamb lollipops. They were accompanied with a baked potato and fresh, steamed green beans with carrots. Everything was delicious. There was no need for the steak knife they gave us as the lollipops were so tender that they melted in your mouth. I highly recommend Howards for your next outing. The waitresses are friendly, the selections plenty and the food was great.

My wife and I stopped off at this neat little ice cream spot for a late night treat. They have a very extensive menu, with all sorts of ice creams, sundaes, and smoothies available. The two young people serving were very friendly and efficient, great music was playing, and nice seating outside to savour our delicious ice cream. Worth the visit!

Situated at Gasparila Marina.
Reviewed By rockydogz1 - Venice, Florida
We had 3 different dishes and one appetizer. The calamari won as the best selection. Grouper sandwich which was featured was just ok. Good selection of draft beers, good wait staff and reasonable prices to a little high for the area. Gut feel is that they have average cooks and could use a chef.

This was our first time visiting Farlows. Other reviews had indicated great food, location and no reservations. We called ahead on a Monday and it was very busy around 5:30. There is a great spot out back along the water to sit and have a drink while you wait with a fire pit. The menu had many choices and the food was exceptional. The service was very good. If in the area it is a must to visit.

Love their lunch specials. I had a delicious ham, cheddar and swiss cheese quiche, fruit salad and home made cornbread. The quiche was a deep dish piece of pie. Tasty and moist. The fruit cup consisted of strawberries, blueberries and grapes. The cornbread was delicious. Our friends had the chili and half sandwich lunch specials. The portions are very good. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Definitely like the place.

I wasn't expecting a lot and was surprised by how pleasant the restaurant was. Not upscale by any means, but not shabby either.....just nice and comfortable. The kind of place where you can have a good time with the restaurant being a pleasant, unobtrusive backdrop. The service was good. We shared the crab and avocado quesadilla and it was delicious. So was my plain burger. My guests both enjoyed their Caesar salads and fish and chips. The Steak was good, though rarer than ordered. Not so much with the lobster bisque which had a gloppy consistency with lots of what seemed like tiny balls of flour.....very little lobster. It was a cool and pleasant evening, and the boat ride over and back, as well as the small wait for the water taxi , was most enjoyable.
