    Everything was great except the dessert. We ordered the gooey butter cake and returned both. The inside tasted like gritty sand and the rum overpowered it. Nice presentation though. I think the inside wasn’t warm enough to have melted it to make it gooey.

    This is by far the best and most consistent restaurant in the Lake Mary area. We have wandered our way through the menu and everything we have tried is outstanding. Food quality is tops. Flavor combinations are interesting and enticing. Staff is always friendly and attentive. They clearly want to make your dining experience all it can be. Reservations through Open Table really helps. We appreciate that option. They now have an interesting drink menu. Izzy, our server, was attentive but not pushy. Bright smile on her face the whole time - like she loved working there and wanted us to leave happy. The Atmosphere is on the quiet side - and is somewhere between quaint and romantic. Good wine selection. Many of them are very reasonable. Its right across from the city park - perfect for an after dinner stroll. People use this restaurant for their frequent getaway, but also for special occasions. It works for whatever your situation. My wife and I feel like we have been invited to someone's home for dinner, but with far better service and food.

    Excellent service and ambiance. Food was very good as well. I was initially unsure by the location and exterior but was blown away when entering. Had the pleasure of being seated in one of the VIP tables which provided an extra layer of exclusivity and privacy. I would dine here again. Very accommodating and professional staff.
