   I came for my birthday and they placed us in a private room due to the large party size. The service was provided was fantastic. Will be coming back!

   We were early diners, so the dining room was quiet. It was the best meal out I’ve had in a long time! We had the beet salad, branzino, fr onion soup and a filet! I was really pleased!5the cocktails were terrific too!

   The food was phenomenal everything was cooked to perfection. Service was impeccable, our waiter checked in on us regularly. I was here for a conference and the restaurant was pretty busy, but they continued to provide excellent customer service.

   I ordered my steak medium and it came out really rare. I sent it back and was still rare. Ruined my experience and everyone was fine eating when I got it back. I would expect an expensive steak house would know how to cook a steak. Huge dissatisfaction and would not recommend.

   This was my first time at the restaurant. It was very nice. Service was extremely good. Wasn’t loud like most restaurants. The food was very good. Beat calamari I’ve had in a very long time. Steak was perfectly cooked and the brussel sprouts were delicious. I’m a sucker for key lime pie and that finished off the meal. I will certainly be coming back.

   It’s okay not overwhelming. Bread came out frozen in the middle. They replaced and charged us $15.00 for 4 rolls. The issue is Tampa has so many fabulous restaurants. They need to have an A+ game to be competitive. Don’t recommend. 2 couples we split our entree, had a bottle of wine 150. 2 cocktails each bill over 600 dollars.

   All around great dinner! The purple potato bread was terrific, the steaks were cooked perfectly, and the baked potatoes rocked. Thankfully there are still quality restaurants that use porcelain dishes and fresh ingredients. So good. Treat yourself to a visit.

    One of the best steaks I had in a while. Fish (Black Cod, they substituted for Sea bass) was good as well. Highly recommend spinach side it was yum. Service was great.
