    Food was generally good. The calamari & meatball appetizers were excellent. Unfortunately we were sat in a room that was an extension to the restaurant which was not a problem in itself but it was so freezing we all had to wear our jackets! Also, on the way out 1 of the waitresses was in the way (my husband is in a wheelchair & the pathways in are just wide enough to fit). She would not move & so my husband landed up banging a little into a guests chair. She could have stepped aside for 1 second to let him pass!

    Lunch on the patio was great. We loved the burrata and fish & chips. The ‘I Don’t Give A F…Fort Myers’ was also surprisingly tasty. The staff was super helpful, and the view of the river was beautiful. Remember to scan for parking when you arrive!

    John, our server, was amazing & very personable. Our table was right outside the kitchen so we could hear all the conversations as well as business of the cooks & servers. Next time we’ll ask for a booth and it’ll 100% perfect. The food was excellent as always as well as the presentation. They really know how to treat you royally.

    It was Veterans Day and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I made reservations but it was not crowded to my surprise. The bartender was very friendly, polite and professional. The attendant at the entrance was very nice and friendly! They were short staffed but you could not tell because the team worked well with each other even the front lobby attendant was serving tables and handling her position at the front! The manager was even out on the floor and helping…Talk about multi tasking and true team spirit! Looks like a fun place to work too. Food was hot and fresh, cocktails were made great and my gson enjoyed the games! We will be back! Thank you for your hospitality!
