    ALWAYS the best food and presentation in all of Sarasota.....our server was excellent also. I had booked a table outside and they warned me there was a Cinco de Mayo street party and it might be loud When we arrived, the band was right at our table and very loud so they nicely accommodated us inside and I know that was not easy

    Food, and service was great. Only bad thing was the noise from the "festival" on Main Street outside.

    It took a very long time for us to get our food, that’s why I didn’t give you 5 stars. We had friends with us and were embarrassed.

    Our second visit and sat outside on covered patio, which was nice. Our server, Stephanie, was friendly and attentive. We loved the short rib spring rolls and a special sea bass cake was also good. We split the filet, which included au gratin potatoes and asparagus. Potatoes good. Asparagus too large and fibrous. Steak was ok, more the cut than the prep. Overall, we would come back.
