   The swordfish entree was good but the steak tartare appetizer was bland and flavorless. It looked like ground beef. Also, the Caesar salad did not have enough dressing so it was on the dry side. The waiter was attentive but did not offer to decant our wine. The kitchen was very slow but the restaurant was not busy. We enjoyed the half off the wine and appetizers but would have liked to have been informed that the 20% service charge was on the prices before the discount. Not sure if I will go back again. It had been 2 years since I dined here and it has definitely gone downhill.

   A perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! The food was superb, the service was impeccable—-we will definitely be back! Can’t ask for more attentive servers or delicious food.

   Steak was lower quality . It was cooked to temp as ordered but for 68$ it was tough and rubbery thru most of the steak. Brussel sprouts were cooked well but risotto was very starchy not creamy. Beef tar tar was good quality but the server did not bring salt or pepper to the table to accent the meat. My wife had the swordfish with grits and greens, which was cooked well but again it seams that for the price, the ingredients could’ve been higher quality. They also included a 20% service charge on the check which did not enhance the service. If I am tipping at least 20% on top of a 20% service charge I feel they should have been a lot more attentive. I eat out with my family at least 2 to 3 times a week in the Saint Pete area and this seems to be a common theme..

   We were not informed that a 35% service charge would be auto added to my bill....very very slimmy management. Food is amazing, service subpar.

   The service was terrible and we had to wait a long time for our food. My laws were elderly and we had to wait a long time to eat.

   We were lucky to move to an outside table. The noise level in dining room was terrible. Food was beautifully prepared and delicious. Ambiance was great.

   Love the location but I wasn't overly impressed with the food . For $450 for 4 people I would expect exceptional food.... just disappointing:(

    Carly was an exceptional server. The food was terrific. We got there early and noise was fine, but as place filled up it was very noisy. But, lol, we’re old so we notice stuff like that. Great overall experience.
