    Our experience at Knife and Spoon was SO yum!! šŸ˜‹ The service was so amazing that we even got 6 different waiters! The bread service was also amazing and they gave you 3 options to choose from. The rest of the meal was delicious even though it was a little on the pricey side. But the restaurant was very elegant and had very exquisite decorative designs. At the end of the meal we were joking about it being my husbands birthday and they overheard and actually brought us a cake šŸ˜± How kind of them!! Overall I rate it a 9.5 out of 10! hehe

    Truly one of the best dining experiences we've ever had. We came to celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary and the team really went above and beyond to make us feel special. Highly recommend for a special occasion or super elevated date night.

    This place acting like a Michelin-starred restaurant is laughable. First, I asked for a black napkinā€”nope. The waitstaff was polite and attentive, or at least they would have been if I could hear a word they were sayingā€”and this was at a 5:30 PM reservation. Drinks came quickly, which was nice, but my cocktail glass was taken away without anyone offering me another. I ordered a Caesar salad with anchovies, while my son had his without. As far as I could tell, my ā€œanchovyā€ version had half an anchovy on each side of the lettuce mountains. The dressing? A thick pile of what tasted like pure mayonnaise with cheese on top. After two bites, I told the server I was leaving and to cancel my entrĆ©e. No questions, no apologiesā€”just an ā€œOK, have a good night.ā€ The menu is limited, and if you donā€™t like dry-aged steak, your only option is filet mignon. Overall, an underwhelming experience that doesnā€™t justify a conversation about being anything close to a Michelin restaurant.

    Food is quite good (salads, hamachi, onion rings and bolognese pasta are standouts) but the service for a restaurant at this level leaves a lot to be desired. Waited a long time for someone to take our drink orders, had to ask for bread service while we watched the other tables get bread service and the one right behind us get it twice. The table next to us of two got one steak delivered and the woman had to wait several minutes for her steak. That should have been a warning to us. When my tableā€™s food came, my steak was cooked appropriately but was cold. And my husbandā€™s chicken was super hot. Became very apparent the kitchen has timing issues and cannot get the food timed and served appropriately. My steak had definitely been sitting there for a while waiting to be delivered. Such a shame for what was a great filet. They also forgot one of our sides and that came half way through our meal after we had to ask for it. My husbandā€™s drink also sat empty repeatedly and kept having to ask someone to be able to order a new drink. Our waiter disappeared for most of the meal. We were celebrating mine and my Momā€™s birthday. And despite the hostess wishing us a happy birthday, that was it. No comped dessert at this place. The dessert was also the worst part of the meal, so I wouldnā€™t recommend ordering dessert. Itā€™s a shame because the food is very good and thatā€™s normally the hard part. Hopefully it was an off night. But paying $550 for three people, itā€™s a hard pill to swallow for such off service.

    Knife and Spoon is excellent--the steaks are simply better than anything you are going to find in North/Central Florida--far better...it may be very expensive, but it's worth it...

    Pedro and Petar did an amazing job. They gave us a truly special experience and even remembered that we had dined here before. 10/10 excellent service. Would recommend to a friend.

    We had been to Knife and Spoon before but this last time was to celebrate our 51st wedding anniversary. They made us feel so special. From the greeting to the servers. They even gave us free champagne and dessert. The food was excellent and so were the waiters. This visit was truly extraordinary! And, of course, we will be back.

    This restaurant is located in the Ritz-Carlton with a Michelin star chef. Our expectations were for an elegant, refined and superb meal with world class service and attention to detail. Our bill for 2 was $1,065. The wine we selected was priced at 3X retail. It was served in standard wine glasses and we had to ask for it to be decanted. Our service was at the level I would expect at Shoney's. Inattentive, slow, long intervals between even checking on our table, I refilled our wine glasses. The biggest issue, besides the above, was the noise level came close to what would be expected at a wrestling match. No fabrics, wall hangings or carpet to subdue the noise. The ceiling had visible and large water stains that obviously had been there for years. We ordered the whole fish as well as a prime filet. The fish was well prepared and had a very tasty sauce. The filet was nothing special, but was at the correct temperature. We were, to say the least under whelmed and disappointed.
