We had an early reservation so the restaurant was fairly empty, many open tables. We were seated at a table where servers were entering and exiting into dining room - busy and constant activity. I asked to be moved - the hostess spent minutes on her computer - I finally asked if we could move one table back, duh. That was done. Server ok. Ordered pasta with short rib (delicious) and special double hamburger, meat dried out, huge disappointment. My dinner partner and I enjoyed chatting, but the experience and food didn't add anything to the evening. I have been her 3-4 times, other experiences good. Perhaps this was a one off, but too many really good restaurants in Sarasota to choose from.

We love this place !! But we would like to see more variety with the entrees - however, we have favorites, so will keep coming back. Ambience is a little lacking - clean but a lot of room for improvement - Service is always excellent - the best anywhere and the food and cocktails are prepared with care and attention to details ! Great wine list as well ;)

Fantastic food. Service was slow to come to the table, bring new silverware, to greet us, to explain the menu. Food was fantastic. For the price and lackluster ambiance (uncomfortable benches and tables with placemats used over and over (ick factor), there are better spots. The mixed drink was spot on.
