About the restaurant

Steps from Gulf Coast sunsets, Sails recalls the finest coastal flavors of France, Italy and Greece in each bite. Pairing the freshest food with exceptional five-star service amid beachy-chic décor, relaxed sophistication prevails at Sails, with a nod to the gracious manners of traditional fine dining, ever-so-slightly modernized. A display of whole fish delicacies from deep-azure seas are hand selected by each guest, then prepared to personalized perfection via wood-grilling or searing a la plancha. Sip craft cocktails or Sancerre while savoring just-shucked oysters at the sail-shaped hand-carved marble bar. Watch chefs in the open kitchen prepare tantalizing seafood towers. The menu encourages multitude courses in true European style starting with raw bar, crudo and tartares followed by luscious lobster or seared Kobé over just-picked organic produce. Elevated homemade pasta preludes composed seafood selections plus mouthwatering superior cuts of beef, redefining refined indulgence.

Very pretty and girly decor- perfect spot for a ladies gathering- mothers Day, Bridal showers etc., I was impressed with the decor and wonderful service. The high tea experience was lovely. The food was ok- but quite frankly I was enjoying the ambiance and pretty tea pots and cups and great tasting teas to really notice. Celebrated my friend’s Birthday and it was just lovely.

A wonderful hidden gem. An authentic countryside French Bistro menu. Food was absolutely outstanding. I had a delicious Beef Bourguignon. The beef was tender and flavorful. It had obviously been cooked for hours. They do have a 3 course dinner special menu that was an outstanding value. Ambience is French Bistro. It's overall a very nice vibe. We will definitely be back many times.

The food was excellent (grouper especially). Service was very friendly & helpful. It was Cinco de Mayo, so a lot of color, music, laughter and good food & drink was had.
