The hostess was amicable and because we had an early reservation we had a good seating arrangement . The waitress had a cavalier attitude and when questioned about drink prices and specials prices said , " I don 't know they are in the computer". not explainning the menu and specials to first time visitors was frustrating .Our appetizers :... more

We have been enjoying the "Grill" for quite a while and it is our favorite restaurant. The fantastic sunsets take a backseat to the wonderful staff, delightful meals and gracious owners Marjorie and Keys..It saddens me to read the few bad reviews of this restaurant as they generally are not a true perception of this beautful establishment that it truly... more

My experience at the Gulf View Grill was fantastic, from the hostess staff to our server and the food coming out of the kitchen to the awesome sunset we had last night! We had calamari which was wonderful, the chillean sea bass was perfect and my husbands king crab legs were delicious. The service by Debby was great, she is... more

My husband and I went here on my birthday back in February. Called earlier to make a reservation for a window table--was told if we got there by 430, we would not have a problem with seating. We rushed down to Englewood from Venice. When we got there, the hostess would not seat us by a window, as she "had... more

we live in punta gorda, close to the Gulf but not close enough for a view. We decided to go to the Gulfview Grill to see the sunset and have a few drinks. We are so glad we stayed for dinner. Being so close to the water, I was leaning towards seafood but when I asked the waiter about the... more

I have been to The Gulf View Grill several times, but the last time it was with ten women, a fairly large group. Our dinners all came out at the same time and were excellent. The view, the Gulf of Mexico, and the sunsets are fantastic. In my book, it cannot be beat, and would certainly recommend it to others. more

The view is unparalleled, yes, and the food is excellent. But as we've visited the Gulf View over the years, the service has deteriorated. Our visit there yesterday was a truly awful experience, beginning with the "greeting" from the extremely rude hostess. Things got worse, as it took a half-hour for the bartender-busboy-waiter (the place was terribly understaffed) to take... more

This restaurant has improved greatly since my last visit five years ago. All our food was delicious and priced well below what it would command anywhere else. The specialty "greens" were amazing. My husband's flank steak was the best he's ever had and a temendous value. Incredible sunset views of the beach. They just need an outdoor seating area to... more

Had no clue, and on a whim --- walked in after a baseball game, not sure of attire requirements, but they are fine with men in shorts, just no sleeveless shirts or bathing suits. Food was outstanding, excellent in taste, preparation, and setting was great. I had Colorado Filet Mignon, with Blue chees and mushroom glaze, and my husband had... more
