    Our server Rachel was amazing!! Very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. The Provoleta cheese appetizer was phenomenal and very flavorful. We had the Ribeye and Filet for the main course. The steaks were cooked to perfection!! The fingerling potatoes were very good also. For dessert we had the Keylime pie and chocolate cake. Very good ending to a great overall experience. We will definitely be back. 5 stars!!

    Simply put this is my favorite restaurant to visit in Fort Myers. We had great service from Samantha. It was a little bit less crowded since some of the snowbirds have gone back up north. Sometimes when the restaurant is totally full, it can be a little bit loud to talk, last night was perfect. Food was great as always, and they have a nice selection of bourbon, which is my go to, but they also have an extensive wine list. Can't wait till we go back. Would be nice if it was a little less expensive but you get what you pay for

    The service was clumsy, one meal was wrong, had to wait for correct meal. Main menu selection was limited and heavy on seafood. The seafood stew and watermelon tomato salad were tasty, yet the pork belly was dry and chewy. Very nicely decorated but less intimate and noisier than the original on Sanibel Island.
