    È oramai la ventesima volta che mangiamo da A&B. Atmosfera e servizio eccellente, ma purtroppo il cibo non è stato all’altezza di tutte le altre volte. Mancava il sale su quasi tutte le pietanze, le ostriche Rockefeller (4 porzioni) poco gratinate ed il tonno quasi immangiabile (gusto di potpourri). Buono il dolce.

    Our waiter, Michol, was so helpful in making recommendations, helping with wine selection, and staying attentive despite an adjacent table being overly demanding and intrusive. Our food was well prepared, and portions were large. The tuna appetizer was beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. Fresh fish was so enjoyable. BTW, the bar is a great place to wait for a table...and if possible, sit outside and marvel at the yachts.

    We’ve eaten at A&B’s several times. Food is always outstanding. Normally service is excellent also. Not this time. It took an hour to get our food. Food was great once we got it but disappointed in service.

    Our experience overall was OK nice place at atmosphere and people. The fillet and the lobster were both overcooked. The fillet had no flavor. The lobster was very dry and firm no flavor. We asked our server about it and she said the lobster was Florida lobster and that is why it tasted that way. We are from Florida and don’t believe that is true. I would not recommend eating seafood or steak at your establishment.

    Excellent food! The service and ambience were perfect. It’s a nice respite from the party crowd of KW. We had a lovely dinner then we jumped into the nightlife on Duval.

    Although A&B prices rival high-end restaurants in NYC or SF, we always return because their Maine lobster and steak dishes, service and ambience (sitting outside overlooking the harbor with warm sea breezes) rival any places we’ve ever eaten. And if you’ve never seen or tried a 5lb Maine lobster, visit in May or November and you may get lucky.
