Loved it! A wonderful intimate setting where you can have conversation with others and enjoy a delicious meal. The food… yummy!! I can’t wait to try the other items on the menu. We shared the mussels which was the best I’ve had in Florida! Filled with crab and lobster meat. The sauce was worth all the dipping of their amazing side bread order. Not a molecule left!! My husband had the Sunday Gravy pasta dish which was great, and it was a large portion. We had to take most of it home!! I had the branzino which was also delicious. We both enjoyed it. Took home the pistachio cheesecake because it sounded amazing. We will definitely be back.

Fabulous location, beautiful decor, exceptional menu and a service team that was all about getting to “yes!” My husband had a stroke 11 years ago and restaurant music that’s too loud is uncomfortable for him…we asked if the music could be lowered and they accommodated. We will be back for brunch!
