It was the least likely night for us to
go out for dinner -- Sunday being a night when Lauren and I would rather
just stay home and relax. But alas, the refrigerator was bare and we
decided to venture out. I had visited Venice Tavern on several
occasions during the summer months to enjoy the wonderful patio that has a
marvelous view of the Fox River, while listening to the musical
entertainment and taking in the mellow night air, but I had not eaten there.
The venue used to be a place called Charlie Fox's Pizzeria & Pub... I
had wondered what changes had taken place with the change in name, so Lauren
and I decided to go for dinner. Walking to the front entryway, the
sound of loose bricks under our feet made an interesting and almost quaint
clacking noise as we walked over them, through the small courtyard and
toward the limestone building. Except for the massive amounts of spider webs
attached to every possible part of the facade, front of the building was
quite charming. The door leads directly in to the bar area, with the
dining rooms located toward the rear of the building. The non-smoking
dining area was almost deserted, with a number of diners outside on the
patio, enjoying the last warmth of the season.
