We were there for an anniversary dinner. On check-in, they greeted us with a glass of champagne and brought us to a booth setup with rose petals and soft lighting. The menu was really outstanding, especially the oysters. We order two of the specialty cocktails - Black Orchid which came with an orchid frozen in an ice ball and was delish, and the Tequila cocktail which was also very good. We ordered the truffled deviled eggs to compliment the oysters, which was perfect. Then we had the lobster bisque and Caesar salad. the bisque included perfectly poached lobster chunks. for the main coarse we had the Grouper, which came with lobster, gnocci, peas and a lemon jus reduction which was the star of the meal. It was absolutely delicious. for dessert, we had the warm butter cake which came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and berries on the side. This is one of Sarasota's best dining experiences.

Very welcoming. The experience was truly memorable. Excellent servers made our Happy Hour very happy. Drinks were perfect. Loved the truffled popcorn, tasty and tender Lamb lollipops, delicious fresh ceviche. Our guest enjoyed the best wagyu hamburger in town. The towering carrot cake was a very delicious treat. Of course we will Be back.

We celebrated our 42nd anniversary Saturday night and had a great experience. We were met inside with champagne and promptly seated. Nelson was our waiter/host and the table had rose petals on it. The service, food and atmosphere were fantastic. Nelson did a great job making our experience memorable. We will return.

I have no real complaints but $10 for valet plus tip was over the top. Food was good but not exciting. Lamb chops were under cooked but we had a time line so didn't send them back. Halibut was good and was the special for the evening. Waitstaff was very good except it took quite a while for drinks and even longer for dessert. The steak tare-tare was devine!

Once again a wonderful meal and great service! Thank you to Christine M. who was our server and by the end of the evening someone we’ll think of as a friend when we’re in again and Ren who helped take special care of us as well (another new friend for sure). This has become a special go-to place for us ! Many thanks !

Third straight outstanding experience. Great dining, service and atmosphere. Gets pretty loud inside, quieter outside. $10 valet parking feels over priced. I’d recommend a rollback. A great addition to the Sarasota dining scene.
