Wonderful food. Hot food was hot, presentation was great, and tasted delicious. Atmosphere was nice. Not crowded on Monday... night. A little loud even when not crowded. Serve was great. Manager walking around to tables. Have a large wine selectionhowever with a little knowledge of wine, I needed help which our server did well. Fish art and ambiance was pleasant. Read more
The aesthetic of the place was really nice due to the decor and music. Everyone was so friendly and the food was great, though... it is a bit pricey. The brownie and key lime tart were wonderful!! Read more
I don't easily give away 5 stars but my family & I had a great experience celebrating my wife's birthday. Each of us thoroughly... enjoyed our meals. We managed to leave room for dessert & were blown away. My wife's fav dessert is key lime pie & it didn'tdisappoint. I'm pretty picky when it comes to dessert & tried the butter cake. Phenomenal! My daughter in law enjoyed the breadpudding & my son had the mango sorbet. The restaurant was very busy & loud so the food took a little longer than expected butworth the wait. In all, we'll definitely go back. Read more
It was pretty pricey for food that was pretty average. We made reservations and still had to wait 15min. Ambiance felt really ... early 90’s and clientele reflected that. The martini I had was good and the hot bread was really good as well. Read more
No complaints with this restaurant! I celebrated my 22nd wedding anniversary here on NYE2021. We arrived at our scheduled time... and was immediately seated (COVID protocols are being exercised). Lively restaurant with just the right level of noise &animation. My husband and I both ordered the bone-in ribeye, medium well. Cooked to perfection. I don’t necessarily think thesteak should be served with the fingerling potatoes (a nice mash or loaded baked would be better). A veggie doesn’t come withthe steak do be sure to request. Our drinks were ok. I had the Fleur and my husband had a pineapple martini. My favorite partwas the dessert…the key lime pie is an absolute winner! I would definitely return. Read more
Very nice place for a dinner. Has a romantic vibe with the dim lights. Very nice server. The food was fresh and the swordfish... had a nice seasoning. The butter cake was so tasty. The bourbon and whiskey cocktails were very good and refreshing! Read more
A decent dinner option in the industrial part of town. The service was attentive and did accommodate us even though we were... later than normal service hours. The steak was overseasoned for my liking but the wine recommendation was good. The dessert menuhas a few options and some desserts are better than others. Read more
