Best Casual Restaurants in University of South Florida

This restaurant is pretty amazing. When you walk in and are seated, you feel like you’re in Europe or somewhere. The wait staff is top notch, even better than on a cruise ship. The food is excellent. My favorites are the 1905 salad and the scallop appetizer.

The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

Kelli, our waitrous was fantastic as usual. However, there was a problem when we went to pick up our wine. At the bar cash register, 2 ladies in front of us proceeded to do a wine tasting AT THE REGISTER, preventing anyone from picking up or purchasing wine. They were on their 3rd glass and after 10 minutes in line, another associate shouted over the counter if we had been helped. The 2 ladies were still doing a tasting and the line at the register was now 10 people deep. The associate behind the register SHOULD have known better and moved them to the bar area for their wine tasting.

The Feast of the Seven Fishes was a real delight. Nothing like anything else we've ever even seen. Sword fish and tuna carpaccio! I've never heard of such delights, and the octopus salami was absolutely amazing. All the courses were fantastic. The sauce on the mussels I could drink like soup, and the lobster risotto was so creamy and delicious, topped with a perfectly seared pair of the largest sea scallops I've ever seen. This was the most unique and ambitious take on the Seven Fishes meal I've seen. We had a great recommended wine pairing as well, a white Bordeaux. My sincerest compliments to Chef Chris for putting on such a wonderful event.

Great staff and delicious food. Great superbowl experience!!!
