Special anniversary dinner, and we couldn't have made a better choice. Ambience is perfect, every course was outstanding, and our service was spot-on! Recommended it to friends already! Pricing is fair so it doesn't have to be just a "special event" type of place. So pleased with the entire evening.

10th Wedding Anniversary. My wife’s favorite restaurant in Sarasota/ Longboat Key. Once again the staff was attentive but not intrusive. My octopus starter In my wife’s chanterelle mushroom ravioli with fois gras sauce was spectacular. My entrée of Seabass was crispy and flavorful and delicious. My wife loves her beef and her filet mignon was tasty And cooked to the temperature she requested. We enjoyed our meals with a bottle of Venge Cabernet Sauvignon & Chalk Hill Sauvignon Blanc.My desert cheese platter was quite good and my wife enjoyed her pineapple soufflé with coconut sauce

This Restaurant is a dictionary definition of "fine dining". Bravo!. I'd move to Long Boat town to be close by. Ambiance, staff, receiving, greeting, seating all 5 diamond. Super clean, elegant atmosphere seems all set-up very skillfully. Food is extremely well prepared, delicious nothing to add - nothing to comment on, just close your eyes and enjoy the journey. The appetizer Ravioli with Foie Gras Sauce, the sea bass... "the" Chocolate Souffle... nirvana!. Staff Timing, presentation, service. Seems no more room for improvement. I am a big fan of fine dining, ex-hotelier myself and I was jealous. Excellence is remarkable. Chef, I am sorry it took me a while to get around and write the review well deserved. We are now fans.
