    Solid list of Italian wines (order off the list, glass pours are the usual boring types and names). Food was a bit Americanized in portion size, sauciness, and composition, but an Italian would happily eat here. Ingredients were top notch and super fresh. Very accommodating for gluten intolerance. Service was really great.

    First... Waiter Adam C was outstanding!!!!! My husband had the Chilean Sea Bass and I had the Sanibel Chicken... both delicious. Mashed potatoes on mine was lukewarm and the broccoli was very chewy which most people would like but I like mine fork tender! I would still have again asking for more potatoes and no broccoli. We asked about bread and Adam said it was only on request only now. They may start charging for it or take it off altogether. That is sad in either case.

    We had reservations for 4 on Valentine's Day (dinner). We arrived a bit early but they seated us right away. The service was friendly and relatively quick for how busy they were. Our waitress Toby was terrific. 2 of us had the Jambalaya, 1 had the spicy Chicken Katsu Sandwich and 1 had the Coconut Crusted Fish Sandwich. Everything was hot and delicious. We'll be back!

    We had a fabulous evening with Gerry as our server. The calamari and off-menu margherita pizza apps were hot and delicious. We also got the bread with seaweed butter but did not think that was outstanding. Cacio e pepe on pasta was too peppery for my friend, but I love pepper. The chicken dish was very moist. Worth the splurge for the sunset.

    Monkeypod Kitchen was amazing. It surpassed my expectations, we had an amazing dinner. We ordered the seabass special and the ahi steak. Both were phenomenal. Mai tais and espresso martinis were delicious. Strawberry pie was to die for. We would definitely go back again. Also props to our amazing server, Ryan. He was attentive and gave great suggestions!
