We did enjoy our dining experience and will be back. The service was incredible! Next time we will sit outside as the noice level was a little loud and we were seated less than two feet from a table of 4. The key lime martini was a delicious treat. My husband enjoyed the steak bites in a delicious sauce!
Don't sleep on the wild mushroom sandwich! I'm not a vegetarian, but this was one of the most flavorful things I've had in a while. It was packed with umami and had great depth of flavor. I'd definitely order it again (although next time I'd order mashed potatoes as my side).
What an amazing birthday that I had with my family, they were able to accommodate a larger party, and Chris took care of us and he is. The man definitely felt very welcomed. I had the crab crested grouper and wow it definitely blew me out of the water. I would definitely recommend this place for birthdays or special occasions with the people that you love. Thank you so much Chris you made my day very special.
Date night before a concert at nearby Ruth Eckerd, we followed the advice of prior reviews and tried this place out. So glad we did! My wife had the lobster and crab bisque and sesame shrimp and Asian noodles appetizer as a main course. I ordered 2 Happy Hour apps, the pork belly steam bun and chicken lettuce wraps, and for my entree I had the bacon wrapped steak medallions and risotto. Every item ordered was perfectly presented and prepared…just delicious and satisfying. Restaurant has a classy yet causal atmosphere. I recommend without hesitation!
We came here on a rare date night out escaping our toddler (threenager) indoor seating was perfectly lit with upscale fisherman decor. I was fairly obsessed with one light in particular that looked like a large metal atom. Super cool and rustic. The bar was right next to our table so unfortunately there was a lot of gathering and grouping of the servers by the area. A little difficult to walk around if you are going / coming from the bathroom. We ordered the following: Drinks- Coke Zero Cucumber basil drink (so good) Appetizers- Raw oysters (extremely fresh) Seared ahi tuna (probably our favorite dish of the night. Exquisitely seared and seasoned with a ginger dressing and the noodles were actually from heaven) Entrees- His was 14 oz ribeye with French fries, garlic butter and a grit cake Mine was a 6 oz sirloin with wild mushrooms, garlic butter and a Caesar salad (which we split) I will say this was one of the most shockingly perfect meals I have ever tasted. Not one dish was unbalanced or cooked anything short of excellence. I overtipped on purpose to show my gratitude because the waitress and refills were also timely. Hostesses were personable. Great experience!
