    Been to Publix Landings several times and this the first we had bad experience. Mashed potatoes were very lumpy and not hot , green beans had no flavor and Filet was not hot and not a great cut. Three other at our table had similar problems.

    Service was great and it's a beautiful place. Mothers day menu was limited which isn't unusual. However none of the offerings were very good. Our party had most of the things on the menu but nothing stood out.

    Food was very bland and not creative. It used to be excellent here, I don't know if it was just because of mother's Day. But I didn't even eat my dinner, only one bite. The appetizers were not good, bland and low-grade. Even the drinks from the bar were watered down and boring.

    Great restaurant. We had reservations for 12:45 but we were running late. Called the restaurant and they were able to change by reservation to 2:00. They were very busy. Our waitress Debbie B was not only wonderful she was also funny too. Our good was delicious and came out very quickly. I had the surf and turf. Steak was cooked perfectly. My husband had the turkey and stuffing. He said it was very good.

    For a special Mother’s Day menu, the food was subpar and not worth the visit. We were considering this restaurant for an upcoming banquet event and have decided to go a different direction.
