   Service was very good. Our waiter gave us excellent choices only to come back twice saying they were out of those items. I really felt bad for him. I asked for a quiet table and was seated at an extremely loud area. I didn’t know they had an outdoor seating area and was never given a choice. The food was good, but I wouldn’t say worth the price. I am back between NYC and Sarasota so the $$$ doesn’t shock me. Midtown prices on a side street in Sarasota. I believe my wife and myself will seek out other options for a special evening.

   Our server, AJ, was exceptional! The food was, as always, delicious. You really can't "top" a Michaels dining experience.

   Overrated, slow service, food quality at this level was as expected. Table set for wrong amount of people, no drink menu offered, delay in being greeted, delay in taking orders, drinks and food took forever to get to the table with every course of the meal. There are plenty of other places we could have dined and had a nice experience.

   This restaurant is overrated! The service was bad. It took a long time for them to bring our food. They were definitely understaffed. The food was not as good as described in the reviews. Very disappointing experience.

   Seated us in the lounge in a very dark booth with a wobbly table. I guess I should have asked to be reseated but the piano player in the lounge sounded good so I figured what the heck. My bad. The fish entree was not very good. Expected much better food quality for the money. I've had better meals at Applebee's.

   In spite of a glitch in the computer system with the kitchen, our evening was quite delightful. It took a few minutes for our meals to arrive but our server and management were very accommodating. They kept us informed. The meals were nice size portions and very tasty. The lobster bisque was one of the best I have ever had. The bronzina was free of bones and the portion was sufficient for two meals. The Chilean Sea Bass
