    We go to this restaurant regularly, so we went again New Year’s Eve. Didn’t realize it was a prix fixe menu that night - my fault for not asking when I made reservations. Entree’s were good, although my steak was under cooked, and I ordered mashed potatoes but got rice. They never did correct it. The only soup was one I do not like, and I cannot eat salad, and I was told there were no substitutions, so I was able to eat only half of the meal - again, my fault. Entertainment was very good.

    We love the Grill at 1951. The food is always good and the New Year’s Eve menu had excellent choices. The jazzz band that played there that night was superb.

    A treasure hidden away in Port Charlotte. Other than New York City, the high level of musical talent is outstanding!

    First time coming here and we’ll definitely be back. The food was amazing, the wine was great, and the live music was charming! Our server Zach was very attentive and welcoming, and the manager is a great guy. It’s one of those tucked away places that you find on a whim and then brag about to all your friends

    Maggie was an awesome server. She helped us pick an amazing dinner to celebrate our 10th anniversary. The pistachio goat cheese was incredible. Then we each had a cup of soup (I had lobster bisque that was amazing). And we shared the rib eye for two. We are incredibly picky with steaks at a restaurant because my husband makes an amazing one at home. This steak was cooked to perfection exactly the way we ordered. Then to close out the evening, we got to try the peppermint cheesecake that the chef had made just that morning as a test. Divine! We thought the music was a little on the distracting side but it was fun to have live music while we ate. Overall, an excellent experience and we will be back!
