The food at Onward is so incredibly delicious! The restaurant was doing a Key West theme and everything from the hot, fluffy biscuits with honey mango butter, to the mahi mahi tacos, to the perfectly prepared red snapper, to the decadent chocolate slab cake was excellent. The red snapper is out of this world! Our server Abby was excellent also - super friendly and enthusiastic about the food. Great experience.

Very good food. Enjoyed the ambiance. Service was very nice. Felt like it was too expensive for what we got though. Don’t know if I would return based on the pricing.

I went to dinner here at Onward with my niece and nephew to celebrate my birthday and was very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable this restaurant is! Vincente greeted us at the door with a warm welcome and our server was a delight. I had filet with crab legs that was perfect!! they also have a separate room area that I am looking forward to having a company event at. I highly recommend Onward to anyone and everyone! So great to have them in the neighborhood

We had looked at the menu prior to going and instead of the regular menu it was a Key West pop up. We may have missed this on website. We really enjoyed the food and the bartender was Great. He sensed our disappointment and went above and beyond to help us. The staff also really seemed to like their jobs.

The food is excellent and service were flawless! We had the bread service, cup of cream of parsnip soup, the vermont bijou with brussel sprouts, lobster lasagnette, and winter squash ravioli. The food was delicious!! For dessert we got the key lime pie, which was tasty but a little heavy. My only problems are with the space, and I am a designer so perhaps a little particular. There is a living plant wall with a very strong grow light. The wall is beautiful, but the light is too strong and too cool, and really detracts from the rest of the space. There is also an in wall fireplace that was missing some trim around the wall tile where it is inserted - we could see the backer board for the tile. And finally, the barrel vault is very cool, but it carries sound a little too well from one side of the room to the other. We could hear a conversation from the other side of the vault as if they were next to us. If the owners are paying attention - I would recommend doing something about that grow light during service.
