Restaurants near Ave Maria University

This is our third visit this month & won't be our last! The exceptional entrees cooked to perfection with a wonderful appetizer menu, crisp, delicious salads, extraordinary selection of desserts, great drink choices & fabulous cappuccino bring us back! Karen, our Server was dedicated to making sure our party of five enjoyed our evening! Always perfection! Thank you!

The food was outstanding, as usual! We tried one of the new brunch items - breakfast gnocchi carbonara… so tasty! (The candied bacon just put it over-the-top delicious!) And our usual server, Carol, was so wonderful… she is so sweet and friendly and treats all of her guests like family.

We have always wanted to go to Limoncello. Waited over 9 years to finally stop by. We were pleasantly surprised at the fun atmosphere, great service, wonderful singer with awesome song choices, and the food was very good. We all had something different and everyone enjoyed it. The grouper was a tad salty but fun to have with the excellent lemon risotto. Had a nice Italian wine to accompany the meal and an excellent cappuccino to finish it off. Would recommend trying and our server Lindsay had a beautiful smile and warm welcoming personality. Never had to wait on water as it was always refilled. Try their bread with the delicious aloe garlic and herbs.

We can always count on an excellent dining experience at Tommy Bahama. From the terrific personable service from our Server Amy M to the delicious cuisine. The ambiance is also very nice and upbeat. I ordered a full rack of ribs which was huge…more like a rack and a half. It was very tasty and meaty and not fatty. It is the more traditional “fall off the bone” ribs. Although I do prefer the chew off the bone…I call those “fighters”. I always order my ribs very charred. These were prepared perfectly. As a side I ordered their fresh cut fries (well done) also very good. The barbecue sauce was very flavorful and had just the right amount of kick. It was such a huge order I could only eat a half a rack and took the other full rack home. They always brought their excellent bread out with delicious cinnamon butter. When they didn’t we asked Amy if they had their famous bread and butter. For some reason, it’s now by request only yet still no charge. Just as good as always. Another great dining experience!

Delicious meal from the early bird menu at Ocean Prime. A lot of value was in the 3 course scrumptious meal for $65. I say a value because each course was 10 rating by my husband and me. You can’t beat the tender 8 ounce filet or the delicious 6 layer carrot cake! Always our go to meal but our friends with us always go for the awesome scallops. Salad and lobster bisque were perfect too. Server Mark was excellent, along with back up waiter, Joey. They made the evening just perfect. We look forward to another celebratory meal at Ocean Prime.
