My husband ordered the short ribs and the portion was very small for the price. My mom ordered a fish dish that she liked. The fried calamari was very greasy. The service was very good. We eat here probably about twice a year and never had a problem.

We decided to sit at the bar since my spouse had been there previously and had had great service from Brandon, the bartender. So glad we decided to sit there! Brandon was personable and provided terrific service! We had the bottomless Bloody Mary and a bottomless mimosa to start. The food was really good--I particularly recommend the chicken BLT sandwich. By the time we left, we were full and had had a great time. Great way to start some Christmas shopping at Coconut Point. We definitely will be back. Thanks to Brandon for offering us a great couple of hours, and to the restaurant staff for some good food. (By the way, be sure to buy gift cards for this restaurant at Costco...they're a terrific deal.)
