The food was AMAZING! It was the last night of extended Savor Sarasota. I have to be honest, most other participants have left of wanting. Not this place! Every dish, from the cocktails, to the escargot, octopus, scallops and dessert…

left us STUFFED! The dishes were balanced, flavorful and beautiful. Well presented, well timed and delicious. We will be back! Excellent value!

I would say this is the best local restaurant we’ve been to in a very long time. Everything was absolutely amazing, including our server, Matthew. We had gazpacho and grilled octopus for our appetizers. I got a gnocchi dish with…

lobster, tomato and artichokes, and my husband got the sea bass with butternut ravioli. We got the poached pear for dessert and it was the perfect ending. We will definitely be back! 10/10.

This is the best restaurant I have been to since moving here from Philly area 10 years ago. Very well made cocktails and good quality wines with a varied selection reasonably priced.All the dishes we had were very inventive and…

carefully prepared. The service was excellent as well. The rabbit in pastry top, branzino with lobster bits, seabass with vegtable ravioli just to name a few. The cauliflower app was great and a good portion. Their prices are low when you consider the quslity..Amazing restaurant.

We thought it was fabulous the first time. Escargot was super, and the service was charming. Could not wait to go back. The second time seemed like a different place with a completely different tone.
