The food and service was great. The room was at least 10 degrees cooler than optimal. Several guests had to wear coats.

We go to lunch at Venue almost every Valentine's Day. We like that they don't have a pre fixe menu like other restaurants do on that day. The young lady that took care of us was Regan. She apologized several times because the wait for our appetizer and drinks was a little long. I had made our reservation for 12:30 pm hoping it wouldn't be as busy. However, it was still pretty full when we were there. We had great food and great service on a busy Valentine's Day.
