Lots of negative reviews because drink prices are higher than most if not all places in Venice. We had a hard time both ordering and paying (actually had to walk inside to the bar to pay after waiting forever). Overall, if you look at the pictures...the view from their seating area is pretty sweet. We were there for about an hour and had the front corner with water on both sides. It was 7 euro for a spritz. Everyone is going to have to judge that value on their own. My biggest complaint is that they need to hire more waiters...
