    Service was great as were our server's recommendations. French Onion soup was superb. If you order brussel sprouts, I highly recommend them flash fried. Choice is either flash fried or roasted. It is family style sides, so 1 order of the sprouts were sufficient for 3 or 4 people. We didn't order the Mac-n-Cheese but several tables around us did and it looked great. Bread basket has 6 rolls (2 of 3 different varieties), which was a lot for 2 people. Since it is a menu item and not complimentary, it would be best with 3 or more people. We each ordered 8oz filet and were pleased. Try the Birkin's butter with it!!! Overall, not a cheap dinner, but it was a great meal that we didn't need to drive down to Westshore or South Tampa for. Will def return when the opportunity arises.

    The Feast of the Seven Fishes was a real delight. Nothing like anything else we've ever even seen. Sword fish and tuna carpaccio! I've never heard of such delights, and the octopus salami was absolutely amazing. All the courses were fantastic. The sauce on the mussels I could drink like soup, and the lobster risotto was so creamy and delicious, topped with a perfectly seared pair of the largest sea scallops I've ever seen. This was the most unique and ambitious take on the Seven Fishes meal I've seen. We had a great recommended wine pairing as well, a white Bordeaux. My sincerest compliments to Chef Chris for putting on such a wonderful event.

    We had the thanksgiving meal special menu there and was pleasantly surprised. The turkey was delicious and juicy. Great flavor. The ambience was nice, I would have liked it to be a little more dim to give it a little more of an elevated fine dining look, but it was not a deal breaker. The service was fine, a little slow for it not being crowded, but I honestly looked past that considering it was thanksgiving day and they may not have been fully staffed. Our server was good and she had a great personality. The Bartender was also very nice and turned what would have been a standard vodka club soda into something with more flavor without breaking the bank. Overall, it was a very good experience. I would like to go back again on a regular night.
