                                          A hidden gem of a restaurant, mostly favored by locals and those in the know. The best cocktails in Sarasota with Uldis behind the bar handcrafting every drink. Great new items on the menu this restaurant never gets lazy in creating new dishes, and the pizza is just as good.

                                          Salads roasted beet and Caesar ( had real anchovies were very good. Entrees sea bass daily catch very nicely prepared served with rissotto and short rib fettuccine both excellent. Also food is served hot! The only disappointment was the banana dessert. It had no flavor. Service was very good. We will be back with friends.
