Restaurants near De Soto Monument

The service and food for Thanksgiving were phenomenal. This was the best Thanksgiving dinner we've had at restaurants in many years. The turkey was moist and delicious, the traditional and not so traditional sides were excellent, and the appetizers were top drawer. The venue is excellent (we sat outside under an umbrella) with clever battery-powered "beenie hat" revolving wings to keep the pesky bees away, and they worked, surprisingly well! All in all, we can not wait to return for another meal. The interior space is excellent, and the adjoining bar has a separate ambiance we can not wait to try.

The wag is overrated by the entire industry. Its more of a novelty and the japanese are laughing at us paying more for it! The sea bass is the best value on this menu. Short ribs were fabulous. The place is very cool and well kept. I would recommend.

This place is absolutely amazing! The craft cocktails are a delight, the food creative and fresh!  The bison is a should not be missed nor the lamb chops! We are not local but we visit at least twice when we are in town. We had the pleasure of meeting Michael the manager last evening and now we understand why the crew is so service oriented! Kudos to him and his staff !

What a bookalishes experience. Great service. Kind and attentive unlike my wife! Joking joking. Got some cocktails to start off. All 4 kinds were bangers. It made me wet in my mouth if you know what I mean ;) The apps were damn good. Octo has my mouth watering as well speak! The bread and butter have me buttered up for round 2. The NY Strip and fillet were oh so tender. The fillet over the strip for sure. Up on our list!

We always start and end our Anna Maria Island vacation, when we stay at Sunshine Cottage, with the Waterfront. Truly exceptional!
