   Wonderful evening, had an early reservation prior to a football game. The restaurant was quiet, excellent service and the food, wine and drinks were delicious! Excellent experience!

   Sat on the patio, which was relatively quiet. Inside was a freezer....but the decor was beautiful. Our server was very nice; however, the service was pretty slow. The menu didn't have much of a selection for drinks or should I say appealing. The sea bass was delicious but at $45, I expected the dish to have more sides with it. The sharable shrimp mac was so small, it was a single serving really... Nothing was outstanding except the staff were very nice.

   Even though the restaurant was only half full, we were seated at the booth closest to the bathroom. It smelled like seating near an airplane bathroom. The decor was nice and we liked that they had the FSU football game turned on and without the volume. Our waiter was mediocre at best. I I was never asked if I wanted a refill of my Diet Coke. We ordered dessert and we were never asked if we wanted coffee or tea. We had to ask the waiter — he said “I’ll have to go brew it”, as though we were inconveniencing him. And, the coffee came much later than our desserts were presented. The pecan pie was excellent. The peanut butter and chocolate cake was almost inedible; the layers of chocolate cake portion were moist and tasty, but the peanut butter cookie dough layers were so hard, congealed and dense it was impossible to get a fork through it. The carrot cake was just OK, but the portion was quite generous. My husband and son thoroughly enjoyed the tomato and Gouda soup. The Tomahawk steak was prepared as requested, but it was mediocre and overly fatty. It didn’t help that while we waited for our entrée, the waiter came by to tell us that “our big piece of meat would be coming shortly.” Once the steak was placed on the table, I asked for fresh crack pepper. Instead, the waiter brought shakers of salt and pepper. No bread was offered at any time. The mashed potatoes were very good, the mushrooms were just ok. I frankly felt like, from the moment we walked in, the staff couldn’t wait to clear the restaurant for the evening. Our reservation was for 6:45 PM. Overall, the meal was good. We liked the interior design and music level. We and were able to converse and have an enjoyable evening. However, if you are looking for a fine dining experience, I would, frankly, look elsewhere. For steak dinner, save your money and go to the Outback— the food, wait staff and value are better. Hoping to find a better fine dining alternative for future visits.

   We went on a Friday and they had great live music at 6pm. Staff was very kind and knowledgeable of the menu. The food was really good, perfect serving sizes.

   The food and servers are always 2nd to none. That’s why we’re there weekly.

   Excellent anniversary dinner. Food was outstanding and options were aplenty. Service was great. Drink selection is also always good, as is dessert options.

    Dinner was very good. Had the beef tips as an appetizer, which were delicious and my parter had the crab tostones, which she said were amazing. The had the Sea Bass special for dinner, which was over-the-top amazing, and my parter had the filet, which was cooked to perfection. We ended off the night with the blueberry cheesecake, which was one of the best bites of cheesecake I've ever had. Overall, amazing night with amazing service in a very cool and modern restaurant.
