    First visit to Sarasota- we frequent the Fort Myers location more often. Pleasantly surprised by the elevated experience. Haley- our waitress was polite, prompt, friendly - flawless. The food was perfect - an issue we seem to have in FM with undercooked filet was not an issue here. We ordered medium and got medium. Wine selection was good; margaritas were awesome. Would like to see an expended red wine list with Paso Robles wines someday but still good choices imo. Overall a wonderful night and a great experience. Would go back if in this area again.

    This was a special evening for Valentine's Day with a prix fixe menu. Each dish was wonderfully prepared with the exquisite desserts by Pastry Chef Stephanie Boswell and Chef Erik Walker knows how to make a short rib like no one else. The restaurant continues to impress and we love going here.

    Our go-to place for special occasions (last night Valentines) so we’re very fond of this quaint restaurant in downtown Sarasota except last night it was so busy that some items seemed to have slipped through the cracks. The food is always great however last night wasn’t as great. The service was excellent for us but we noticed other tables were not as fortunate. The prices seemed to have been adjusted for the Valentine’s menu (adjusted meaning RAISED), for we each had a meal, (Grouper / Pork Oso-busco) nothing fancy) a glass of wine and shared a dessert with one complimentary basket of bread (NOT even a house salad) and the bill was $175! A bit pricey if you’d ask me.

    We dined on the outside - the street tables set up to accommodate all the Valentines diners and it worked out perfectly. Although very busy we were waited on by David reasonably fast. The food was fantastic. With all the activity in Sarasota we joked we got dinner and a show (some pedestrians were quite amusing) at HP Always a treat and never disappointed ❤️
