   Entire experience was excellent. Service was great, food and wine list solid. We had the seafood tower with 6 guests eating seafood and steaks. Sides were super. We did not try the desserts. Valet service is tip top. Will be returning. The noise level was great not too loud so we all could chat in a normal tone.

   The restaurant is really nice on two levels and brand new. We opted to sit at the bar but had to wait for almost 10 minutes to be acknowledged and this was after asked for menus from another bartender. Two other guests sat next to us after us. The bartender served them before us and was busy exchanging phone numbers with one of the guests, which added to our frustration. The other bartender was very helpful and attentive once we grabbed his attention. The steak was served without the requested sauce and no napkins were given to us. The manager was excellent when he asked for feedback and offered to put it right. Drinks and sauce were removed from the bill. I will be happy to visit again as this might have been an isolated bad experience.

   Service was exceptional - attentive, quick, friendly, and made certain all was well. We had to wait about five minutes longer than our reservation, no big deal considering how busy they were. Regardless, they brought over two glasses of champagne to apologize for the minor wait was really a surprise and not needed or expected. We ordered a few sushi rolls and they were delicious with the exception of one. We didn’t really care for it--our server notice we weren’t eating that one and asked if we liked it we said not our favorite. He took it away and brought back shrimp cocktail to teplace that dish... again not needed, very surprised and impressed! They certainly went above and beyond to make certain we had a great evening. The ambience there is a really nice, however, the noise level is pretty high. Next time, weather permitting, we will try to sit outside on one of the patios... overall, an excellent experience very impressed. Delicious food, great service. PS Get the carrot cake.

   Wanted to try the new Sarasota location as we always go to the Tampa location for a birthday celebration. Five hostesses & took so long to seat us & it was empty! Once finally seated service by Austin & food did not disappoint. Beautiful new restaurant on the water.

   This is the hottest new restaurant in Sarasota. The vibe is really cool with several different seating areas inside and out. We were upstairs in a semi-private dining room which was nice because it wasn't so noisy. Chris, our server, was outstanding. He went over the menu thoroughly with us and was very knowledgeable. They have an extensive menu specializing in steaks and seafood as you would imagine. My husband had a filet and I had red snapper. Both were excellent. The wine list is lengthy. It is pricey but that is to be expected for a restaurant of that caliber. We are returning with other friends on Saturday. Can't wait!

   Lobster tails were overcooked and very salty. Crab cakes had very little crab. No apples to be found in the Granny Smith apple salad. No dressing. Asked for gluten free bread which never came.
