    Experienced on Christmas day, so cut down menu and very busy. Service team did really well to turn over tables and stay attentive to diners. Food was a little bland (not sure if due to high volume or if it was the 'house style') but still hot, pleasant enough to eat and very welcome on a day when the alternative was 7/11. Would definitely try again on full menu and 'normal' service.

    The food was awesome unfortunately the service was terrible. Our server basically ignored us. We had to ask for everything then when the bill came he charged us for large glasses of wine but when he took the order he never asked what size we wanted then argued with us. Terrible staff!

    The Christmas menu was extensive with great variety. This is a top notch restaurant and the food rivals any other great restaurant in SWFL. Great value, great food, good service, good ambience.

    The restaurant has been highly recommended by friends and this was our first visit. We caught a very quiet evening and the attention we received was wonderful. My husband said it was the best calamari he had since he moved out of Rhode Island! Everyone enjoyed their meals very much and they were very receptive to our special requests.

    Service was slow at best. Waiting to order, no visits to table was once after order. Poor service was such we asked for check as food presented and took it as carry out. Few people there and no apology . We had soup and salad, quality of which was poor. Food, tasteless when we tried. (Soup/even dry salad! Oh, we did pay for our meal, even tipped . Not likely to ever return.
