    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.

    Tripletail is always excellent. I had fried grouper and it was cooked to perfection. The food came out piping hot. My husband had the smoked oyster and he loved them. Cocktails are worth the money and service was excellent.

    3rd time at this great Italian spot. Its worth the drive from Lakewood Ranch about 40 minutes away. Just think how many restaurants we passed. Its one of my favorite. The homemade gnocchi is the real deal. It was made tonight with a little bit of spicy red sauce sausage and red peppers. Just amazing. Cesar salad was very good. My veal Parmigiana on the bone was fantastic. We also had fried calamari to start and finished the meal with tartufo. Service was pleasant, attentive, and spaced our 5 course meal perfectly. Until the next time we yearn for more…..
