    My party enjoyed their dining experience immensely. I would have liked to have a vegan option available, but I settled with alcohol and French fries lol The view is amazing though and service was great!

    Wonderful hospitality. Comfortable booth. Were warmly greeted by Mavis the owner who made us feel like family. Best coconut shrimp ever. Short rib dinner was fantastic and the macadamia crusted grouper was not only generous in size but perfectly cooked. Everything on the plate was spot on delicious. Thanks to staff for working on Christmas Eve!

    Been a few years since we have had the pleasure of eating here since we live up north. It was the best all-round meal we have had at a restaurant in the last year. The escargot wellington and the lobster bisque to start the meal were packed with flavor and richness. My mother's tiger shrimp and chicken meatballs were delicious. So much good stuff packed in the meatballs with pasta made to perfection. My wife's crusted yellowtail snapper had a good crunch to the outside with flavorful savory fish inside, especially when combined with the tropical fruit jam and the crispy plantains. The paella had so many parts that worked but my favorites were the scallops and the pork belly. To finish the meal, our server recommended a delicious apple galette with a gelato scoop on top and raspberry sauce around thr edge of the plate for extra flavor. It was delightful. The phyllo pastry in both the wellington and galette were well prepared. What a great way to start our Christmas vacation in Sarasota.
