Venetian Hot Plate given Editor's Choice award
Texas Co-op Power magazine - September, 2005
Kaye Northcott, Editor "As one would expect, fresh
seafood is one of the restaurant's specialties, but it
also offers astonishingly good specials made with veal
and lamb. Even the simplest salads and side dishes are
worth the drive. The Hot Plate, named fro the sizzling
cast iron plates on which some dishes are served, has
the perfect Caesar salad, a great polenta, and heavenly
spinach in lemon juice, olive oil and garlic.
