   We had an early reservation so the restaurant was fairly empty, many open tables. We were seated at a table where servers were entering and exiting into dining room - busy and constant activity. I asked to be moved - the hostess spent minutes on her computer - I finally asked if we could move one table back, duh. That was done. Server ok. Ordered pasta with short rib (delicious) and special double hamburger, meat dried out, huge disappointment. My dinner partner and I enjoyed chatting, but the experience and food didn't add anything to the evening. I have been her 3-4 times, other experiences good. Perhaps this was a one off, but too many really good restaurants in Sarasota to choose from.

   Good food and good service. Really liked the focaccia bread. Could use a bit more with the dinner

   We love this place !! But we would like to see more variety with the entrees - however, we have favorites, so will keep coming back. Ambience is a little lacking - clean but a lot of room for improvement - Service is always excellent - the best anywhere and the food and cocktails are prepared with care and attention to details ! Great wine list as well ;)

   Fantastic food. Service was slow to come to the table, bring new silverware, to greet us, to explain the menu. Food was fantastic. For the price and lackluster ambiance (uncomfortable benches and tables with placemats used over and over (ick factor), there are better spots. The mixed drink was spot on.

   This was our first time here. Menu selections are great and varied. Had the Korean BBQ meatloaf and it was so good; sweet and spicy and very, very filling. Would definitely have it again. The salmon was also excellent as was the short rib fettucini. We all cleaned out plates . Banana pudding dessert was a winner as well. We particularly liked the pace of the meal; having time to have cocktails without any rush to order. Service was excellent. The only drawback is the noise level. It gets very loud and can interfere a little with conversation. But we will go back.

    Great place, nice staff, creative cocktails, creative and delicious food—but they should bring back the mushroom bolognese and pizzas!
