Great drinks and good service. However a bit expensive but what do you expect in the Marina. It's also not that crowded usually so you can actually have a conversation without shouting for the most part. A good chill weekend lounge spot.

Pros: Great atmosphere and generally not too crowded
Cons: Expensive
I couldn't believe how bad the service was and there were only a hand full of customers. It got way worse from there. My wife got a salad that was BROWN and smelled like garbage. When we tried to return it, the manager told us that it

I went there with a party of 10. We ate in the "back" room. The front part of the house seemed much more happening so if I were a small party I'd recommend going without a rez and eating apps there. Scallop app was good as was the Duck

I have been to this place few times now and I honestly always enjoy the experience. I like the place itself and the atmosphere, and I love sitting around the fireplace. The food is pretty good, just not enough for the 4th star on my

I went to Beechwood for a friend?s birthday. Service was extremely slow. It took over 45 minutes for our dinner to arrive once ordered. I ordered the red snapper. When the waitress brought out my dish a horrible odor of fish engulfed

This hole in the wall is full of 21 year olds tring way too hard. The same is true of the staff. The place smells and everyone is standing around like there in a nice place. They dropped an order of fries on the floor and picked it up

We went to Beechwood the other night, the service was good. My girlfriend had Snapper and I had the chicken. Both were very good. I like the chicken more, but I ?m more of a steak and potatoes guy. My girlfriend loved the snapper

Stop by for drinks and dinner at Beechwood Restaurant. The menu is delightful and the service is good. The prices are reasonable but just like anything in Venice, there will be long waits on the weekends when the tourists pound the pavement.
3I really love going here for either drinks or dinner. The food is delicious and completely seperate from the bar area so you can enjoy a nice dinner on one side and then party at the bar on the other side. Reasonably priced and valet parking in the front.
4This is a hard one to write. I once loved Beechwood and would bring anyone there who came into town to visit, but until recent this place has gone from "Great food and service" to "STAY AWAY." I actually signed up for Citysearch just to

Pros: The food is great and the restaurant looks cool

Beechwood has a great lounge and outdoor patio with a fire pit. The servers are very friendly. They have great vegetable flat bread and sweet potato fries.
4We have been to Beachwood numerous times. The food is really good, the drinks are weak/overpriced and the pompous waitresses and management are disgusting. They act like their patrons are lucky to be there, total jerks with no

in venice, you cannot find a better location. however, it gets very busy and is always packed with tourists and beach goers. I would say if you want a good experience, never go on the weekend!

I had a great time here. The only downside was that I had a reservation, but still had to wait about 30-45 min. to get a table. Fortunately, there's a great bar and heated patio. I highly recommend this place for drinks, dinner, or

In two words, baseless arrogance. Despite a decor that would be cutting edge for a suburban Chili's in Wisconsin, the staff at the Beechwood seems to think that they belong on a movie set. After taking a friend from out of town to this

My friend and I went to Beechwood pretty late on a Friday night. The place was packed, playing great music, and since we just wanted drinks and dessert, we weren't sure where to go. The hostess was really nice and told us to grab a drink

This place doesn't have great service, nor does it have enough room, but if you're lucky enough to grab a booth and a menu.. order the Burger. It's amazing... and I don't want to rock the boat here, but it may be better than Fathers

Order your drinks and head out back for their firepit. It's a great place to meet up with coworkers and toss back a few, along with some really good food.

Skip the dungeon-like dining room and sit outside by the firepit. You can order the full restauarant menu or the bar menu (mmmmm do I love their pulled pork sandwich and their skinny fries with aioli....)

Pros: Outside, Price
Cons: Loud, Long Wait, Crowded

I was not impressed with Beechwood. It was so dark on the patio I could barely see my friends. Furthermore, a cocktail waitress actually elbowed me out of her way! The bartender wasn't much nicer.

Restaurant overcharged our party by two plates. Granted it was a large party. One of the plates on the receipt, no one ordered. The other was a duplicate.

Cool interior, but lots of noise. The hostess counter is easy to miss, as it blends into the bar. The outdoor firepit/louge area is a neat twist, but dining here was less than impressive. It took 15 minutes to get a drink order and water.
