Pleasantly surprised. Had been avoiding since last owners disappointed us. We had a clam roll and a scallop roll with onion rings and coleslaw. Fried right and delicious. Clams were nice size....small to medium. Generous serving. Best I've had in a while. Hopefully these owners will be consistent. Nice to find a place that can fry like my New England roots. I'm happy!

The waitress Cyndi was great
A Bit of Boston is a decent seafood restaurant, and will feel comfortable for those longing for a taste of New England in SW Florida. Being from NE, we were hoping for "true" fried clams: the whole-belly variety. They can be found in Florida, but most people seem to prefer the "clam strips." ABOB does have them, so we ordered those plus onion rings, a lobster roll and some blackened shrimp. Everything was good, although I found the clams to be crispier than I prefer. That said, they were tasty enough, and the blackened shrimp were very good. The lobster roll got a thumbs up too. This is an informal pick-your-own-seat type of place, so don't expect anything fancy. Service was friendly ... a bit on the slow side, but I think they were understaffed at the time we visited. I wouldn't drive 20 miles out of my way to go there, but if you're in the Venice FL area and looking for seafood, this will nicely fit the bill.
Love the seafood stew. Chowda is delicious as always. Our lobster rolls we're just phenomenal and we suggest trying them hot or cold. Our server was wonderful. It's great to see this place back to original.
I had the cod sandwich with onion rings, the skinny ones, I must say it was very good. The size of fish was decent. The place is clean , my only complaint is the parking, also clam chowder was excellent. .
Under new management. Therefore the quality of food has improved tremendously. Really enjoyed the All-you-can eat fish on Friday & Saturday's. Delicious! Will be going here more often now.
I wouldn’t even rate one star if I had the option to rate lower. This place sucks! Understaffed. The staff they do seem to have, SUCKS. Food is to expensive. To greasy. They wouldn’t even give me a To-go fork unless I spent more money. They are ridiculous, and don’t pay their workers. And they all do drugs!
We were looking forward to lunch at this place, but were very disappointed. There is no atmosphere. Just a bunch of tables in a row with a few Boston sports pictures on the wall. The clam chowder had a strange taste to it and the fish sandwich was about half the size you get at many restaurants. The beer was cold but at 5 per bottle, way over priced. They were out of clam strips that my wife wanted and the lettuce appeared to be frozen. The waitress was very nice.
