"We arrived at the Excelsior after a long day of travel and decided to eat at the hotel rather than go into Venice. Having visited the Excelsior 10 years earlier, we had good memories of dinner out on the patio. Thus, our experience that night was more than a mild disappointment. We were seated immediately at a table along the beach, very nice. Handed menus and then we waited. And waited, and waited until 15 minutes passed and I finally had to grab a waiter to get some attention. Cool, water delivered and a bottle of wine ordered. Five minutes go by, then ten minutes and at 15 minutes I got up and chased down the maitre d ' who eventually brought our wine. If you are not keeping track, that 's 30 minutes from being seated to my swirling the wine, which happened to be very warm. How does an Italian restaurant on the Adriatic store wine at room temperature when it is over 80 degrees? Like heathens, we were forced to ask for ice to cool off the wine. At least my wife and I had plenty to talk about while waiting. We eventually got around to ordering food. The starters were unremarkable and long forgotten. For mains, since my wife does not eat fish, she ordered the beef filet, to be cooked medium. What was delivered could best be described as seared and raw in the middle. She sent it back and it took another 10 minutes to return. In the process, my turbot was cold since I waited for hers to return. The service was possibly the worst we had until I complained, at which point it became average. From the point we sat down, the staff was lavishing the Italian-speaking guests with attention while we, the only apparent Americans, were nearly ignored. Does that sound paranoid? I don 't know but that was my perception. To compound the experience, the prices were ridiculously high for what we received. Between our travels and over 20 years living, working and eating in New York City, we know both quality food and service, including that which comes at a high price. Regrettably, the Ristorante Tropicana offered only one of those three, the expense. I am always willing to say that a restaurant can have a bad night and maybe that was the case here. However, our experiences as guests at the hotel over the next four days suggest that the Tropicana is fading along with the balance of the Excelsior. Very sad given our fond memories from the past. YMMV."

The service was impeccable and the food expertly prepared. A pianist entertained us as we dined. The room was small but without a feeling of being crowded.

After a lovely day in Venice is wonderful opportunity sit in the terrace of this amazing restaurant and enjoy evening Moroccan mint tea with delightful tiramisu. Soft summer breeze, breathtaking view, and a good book.

On our day trip here to see what the excitement was all about we had champagne on the terrace and sadly did not identify anyone we knew!? Ha. Later on we saw many at the event walking in as paying guests. Maybe next time we can get Moet invites.

We have enjoyed an amazing dinner here. Our dishes were excellent. Our waiters were really friendly and professional. The recommendations of the sommelier were absolutely perfect match with our food. I have got to know an excellent, Italian desert wine! In 3 words: little culinary heaven!

On the terrace of the Excelsior Hotel on the Venetian Lido affording fabulous views over the Adriatic. The menu reads well, with interesting interpretations of traditional dishes and the presentation of same was excellent. Unfortunately nothing had any real flavour and I found myself disappointed following the description and presentation of the courses. There was a selection of wines to choose from under €40 but the bill for two of us still exceeded €200 which could have been better spent across the water in the city.

Wouldn’t visit again. Food was ok, but Gritti and Danieli were much better. Tropicana is actually now just Elimar Beach Bar (and restaurant) on the hotel’s first floor with an endless rear view of cabanas if you’re into that sort of thing. You’d hardly know the ocean was nearby if it weren’t for the sound on the other side of the obstructions. I suppose it’s my fault for planning an anniversary dinner based on the amazing second floor terrace photos they advertised which included endless beach views and open skies. I got something far less romantic than what I expected, and it still cost over 300€. I’d equate it to buying tickets to the Empire State Building, but instead of being taken up to...

Absolutely outstanding. The poor reviews are about the hotels buffet restaurant on beach!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Adriatica is on the entry level not beach on a terrace overlooking the sea and beach. Superb views. The chef Alessandro Tamela ably assisted by a great front of house team especially the sommelier Alberto, provide a wonderful dinner. We ate There three times. Starters outstanding especially the fresh raw fish of red prawn, lamgoustine, oyster, three white fish and tuna yummy. Main courses exceptional I had delicious grilled fish with a shellfish sauce half way to soup once and the best grilled Turbot ever in womderful sauce. The tiramisu was an original special take of the italian class...
