About the Back Eddy After many years working as private chefs to celebrities including Jimmy Buffett, Neil Young, Rupert Murdoch and Roy Scheider, we wanted to open our own restaurant to share our love of fresh cuisine with the public, which we did in 2008. The Back Eddy just celebrated our 7th anniversary April 25th 2015 in Venice! We've loved getting to know our customers and seeing how much they enjoy our food and atmosphere. Come swim against the tide and join our entertaining variety of regulars who love to eat, drink and socialize the Back Eddy way. We hope you'll visit us soon and often. Spread the Word.
