    We had a wonderful dining experience at Cafe Solé! The food was fantastic, especially the pizza appetizers—we couldn’t get enough of them. The restaurant is also very family-friendly, which was a huge plus for us. We brought our 2-year-old grandson, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, bringing his food out quickly and accommodating our request for a high chair. Service was excellent, and everyone was so kind and attentive. We’ll definitely be back!

    If, ever there was a reason to move to Florida, it is Cafe Chardonnay. Fabulous food, outstanding professional service, and one of the best wine lists around. Tonight the Mrs. had blackened grouper and I went for the rack of lamb. Both were prepared to perfection. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. Kind of an unlikely location, but as a result there is plenty of parking, and I sense that most of the diners are loyal locals. We are not locals but come here just to visit Cafe Chardonnay, one of our favorites anywhere.

    Always a great experience at Spotos… food and service the best. I think when the staff appears to be really happy doing their respective jobs, it speaks volumes about the owners
