El Refolo In Venezia

11/05/2024: Overpriced, small portions, 160 euro Chateau Briand was like eating shoe leather. (They did Comp. Coffee & desert, thanks to the chef). The 1 waiter we had was nice. Presentation of food was very nice. Hostesses were "ok" nothing like the kinder Gio restaurant workers. 1 guy (waiter? Mustache) seated & gave the menu to an asian/Hawaiian looking couple & he was clearly very rude to them, they left before being served. May 8, 2024, 2-3 p.m. mid-terrace area. Waiter bent over backwards catering to 1 other single male receiving complimentary drink from some large glass container using large dropper thing to retrieve alcohol from glass container into his glass & another couple with 2 kids that he clearly "knew" both the family & the single male were seated near the rail with the best views unlike us 2 white tourists & the Hawaiian couple....BUT our seating was ok. I understand rich patrons, friends/family etc deserve some preference. One visit to Danieli in 3 trips to Italy over 42 years was "enough". Nice view but try Gio's hospitality AND view. Terrace View was great (tables near terrace edge were, apparently for "special" people). If on your list visiting make reservations & I recommend paying the 12 euro cover, having coffee/dessert enjoy the View & check it off your list but you will be better served booking dinner @ Gio's in my opinion.

07/05/2024: We drank 2 very well made Bloody Marys. Amazing environment, service worthy of the place, excellent atmosphere.
