My husband and I had an enjoyable dinner at JWB’s, especially because of the excellent waiter who served us, Brandon. He was courteous and personable but also professional and efficient. Our meals were delicious, arriving in a timely fashion and appropriately. My husband’s ancho–rubbed pork chop was very tender and flavorful. I opted for the Wagyu meatballs with polenta in marinara sauce. Presentation was beautiful and ot too was quite flavorful. Prices are very reasonable quality of the meal served, the ambience of the restaurant and the professional wait staff. Two tables of very-friendly family members or associates were seated next to us and did adversely affect our ability to converse, but our smiling, friendly waiter made up for the disturbance.

I am always blown away by the great food that we experience at Angelina’s. What a gem in the SW Florida area. The halibut was outstanding and the meatballs as an app was exceptional. Our server was super knowledgeable on the wine selection and provided us with individual recommendations based on our description of what we were looking for.
