Service was amazing. Menu is creative , so if you are looking for traditional presentations, this may not be your place. Escargot appetizers had a creamy sauce and nuts and mushrooms. Filet was coffee encrusted. All delicious, but with a different spin and I don’t tend to be so adventurous. So the owner being gracious and wonderful made me some “ Jersey fries” to go with my filet to keep it simple for those of us with a less sophisticated palate. I really enjoyed my meal.

Fabulous addition to Cape Coral! Already planning our next visit. Husband had barramundi special and I chose two small plates, both were perfect. Wine flights accompanied our dinners which are a great way to try new wines. And don’t forget dessert, a chocolate sushi roll,OMG. Highly recommend this gem!

Great little restaurant in Cape Coral. Outside it has the look of an old Florida restaurant. I went there with my son and his girlfriend and we were really happy with our choice. Very clever menu with truly interesting choices. I tried the elk and it was outstanding. That said, everything we tried was delicious. We will be back on our next trip to drop my son back at college. I was really pleased with this choice of restaurant. I love a restaurant that offers an interesting menu and a chef that knows how to pair foods. Our waiter was wonderful, I can't say enough good things about this restaurant. Try it, you won't regret it.

We were thrilled that the restaurant took over from the prior owners and rebuilt the inside and re-worked the menu. the staff was great (Mike our waiter) and the owners and Sommelier took the time to chat with us. Great wine list and pours via Coravin. as to the menu it was inspired, creative and delicious!

This place just recovered from hurricane Ian damage. They did an excellent job. A family runs this cozy place and they have a right to be proud. Two of the three brothers are Culinary Institute grads with many years experience. Their talent was obvious. Service was also excellent by Michael, our waiter. My husband has vision issues and when a staff person noticed he was using a lighted magnifier to read the menu she quickly brought a great little battery powered light. Very nice touch. We were celebrating our son's 54th birthday and this was the perfect place. A great menu with something for everyone. They offer "small" plates and large. My husband chose three smalls and no large. Our son and I were more traditional with a small and a large. Everything was excellent with upscale presentations. For seniors on a budget (like us) prices are at the top of our limits but worth every penny. Highly recommend!

We arrived with high expectations as we knew the location from its previous owner and the small plates intrigued us. The atmosphere and ambiance were great and the service was great from our greeting to our server. But, the food was definitely hit or miss. We started with the pate (fabulous), and the scallops (also very, very good). It was pretty much downhill from there. My spouse enjoyed the Wagyu Flank Steak, but I would have preferred much less chimichuri. It overpowered the meat. The next two dishes, the casino clams, and the lamb chops were a total bomb. the clams casino were done without the traditional breadcrumb topping. IMHO it could have used the topping to give it some flavor. The lamb chops were a total bomb. I hated the harisa flavor and the chops were tiny and without flavor. So, not a total bomb. We will probably give it another try. Perhaps next time, two of the small plates, and split a big plate. At any rate, for $132 with tax and tip, I thought it was poor value and overpriced.
