The best Thai food in town and also the best golf course fair. Its a strange mix but they excel at both. My favorite restaurant right now!
They can be busy, but the food is worth the wait.

Italian restaurant by day, great martini bar by night. The espresso martinis are to die for, and they will happily make them 6-8 at the time.
You will either love this place and its people, or not lol.

This is a small island in the intercoastal waterway of Venice/Nokomis. It is easily reachable by boat or kayak and is a fun place to hang out.

This is a brand new high class mall that is surrounded by a TON of other shops and outlets. This place is so big that they had to build a huge crazy interstate exit system just to handle the traffic here.
You can totally spend the day seeing all the shops here and eating a ton of great food. This is a shopper's delight.
