Very pleasant, right on the lake with a great view. It was quite windy today, so we sat inside at the bar. Kayla was our Bartender. What a cheerful young lady. Very personable and attentive. As a Brewery, they offer a pretty good selection of beers, along with a full bar. Today, they were out of their Amber, so I ordered their Kolsch. Quite tasty. For food, we ordered the fish-n-chips to share. We weren't very hungry and this was perfect portion to share. AND, it was one of the best fish -n-chips we've had in a long time. Not at all greasy, firm fish and the fries were over the top !! Crispy outside and soft, fluffy inside. Coleslaw was flavorful with a lean towards vinegar, Not heavy mayo like in some places. Very tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely stop again the next time we are close to that area.

Plenty of "spaces" to sit, depending on your mood. Indoor, outdoor, high and low seating, family-friendly. Staff was very nice and helpful. Just the right amount of chatty. My wife loved her lager. The not so good. My only complaint here is a significant one considering we came to a brewing spot. I ordered the stout. I order them at any brewing place we visit. This was by far the most bland, watery stout I've tasted. I let the server know when she asked us how it was. She didn't have much to say about it. Seemed surprised to hear it. Other than that, the experience at Big Top was nice. We'd return on our way back from doing something in Sarasota.

Had no problem getting reservations a few dates before, had a great outdoor table that was definitely better than being inside. Our server-Makayla, arrived immediately, helped us through their brunch menu and returned shortly with our drinks. I have to tell ya that their "limitless" Bloody Marys and Mimosas for only $25 is a great deal!! Of course we had to order their FAMOUS Banana Old Fashioned, a Bloody Mary and a Hugo Spritz. We ordered the following brunch entrees: -Truffle Mushroom Omelette -Signature Allswell Burger -Full Monty Sandwich -Chicken & Waffle Stack EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, HOT AND VERY TASTY! Job WELL DONE the Vicky and her ENTIRE team! This place is definitely my new go to place to eat. Can't wait to see their new restaurant concept that's going into the old McGrath's location on Main Street in LWR. If they do as good of a job there as they do in Waterside, I'll definitely have another place to add to my 'regular' places to go!

Was invited to dinner on a Friday night. We were two couples and had…read morereservations. Place was very crowded. Our server, Eric, was excellent. He had great suggestions and provided us excellent service. We tried the cornbread, which is a must have. Large enough for two, maybe three. I had the Danish ribs which were delicious and fell off the bone. Others ordered the prime rib sandwich, Trout, and Salmon. I had the cole slaw and mash potatoes as my sides. All of the food was delicious. They have a full bar and they also allow you to bring your own wine. No corkage fees. Great idea. I would say there were quite a few tables ordering drinks and drinking their own wine. The deserts are sinfully delicious, and huge. After a rich dinner, we shared two of them. The banana cream pie and key lime pie were equally good.

Atmosphere - Very Nice! The restaurant has a classy vibe…read more Service - Excellent! Taliah was our server and she was as good as it gets. Food - Very Good. I dined with 3 other people and we shared the Corn Bread starter and it was delicious and ample for the 4 of us to share. For an entree, I chose the Barrel Cut Filet Mignon. It was cooked to the temperature ordered, served hot and tasted delicious with the featured sauce. My only ding that prevented a 5 star review was that the cut included a small piece that was very fatty (not something I expect from a filet. I opted for the "fresh fries" over the recommended Smashed Red Potatoes. I was leery about there being red skins in the mash. However, there were no skins and it looked great. Overall - given the quality of food, the great atmosphere and excellent service, I would highly recommend this restaurant.

My family has visited Owen's Fish Camp for YEARS at their original location - a tried and true spot…read morethat will always have a long wait, but is well worth it. When I heard they opened a new location, not too far from the airport, we just had to check it out as soon as we landed. As always, the star of the show at Owen's is in their name: fish and seafood. You can't come here and NOT get seafood. Their catch of the day is always a favorite with my family, but my personal standout favorite is the clam chowder. It's addicting and packs a punch with the flavor. You really can't go wrong with anything ordered at Owen's Fish Camp - all the seafood is fresh and the service is always top tier. I love the elevated feel of this new location, fit with a stylish raw bar. You even get some amazing outdoor seating with beautiful views, AND there wasn't a wait when I visited. How can it get better than this?

Quite honestly, I don't have much to say. I was not overly impressed, but nothing crazy happened…read morethat I'd give lower than 3 stars. We?went with a large group and the servers were great, but nothing special to write home about. The food was good, again was not overly impressed, especially with the higher prices. One of our party members' steak was cooked wrong, mentioned it to the server and they immediately brought it back to fix but took the entire plate so he was left with nothing while everyone else was eating their meals. Typically in a nicer place you would expect the waiter to leave the dish so they can enjoy their sides while the meat is recooked. It is nice, however, that they cut their own meats and bake their own bread - you rarely see that anymore in a restaurant. TLDR - not great, not bad. Will we return? Likely not

Today, we enjoyed the eggplant rainbow bowl and Cesaer salad (came with crispy chicken). Both were delish as always. I was pleasantly surprised by the quick service. Within a few minutes of ordering, we had our dishes on the table. I love the decor. It's different vibe from the other restaurants in UTC. Small tables so perfect for small groups (2-4). If you like Mediterranean food, try it with a friend or two!

Weather this time of year is great as it's not too hot. They have a covered patio for dining and an uncovered area near the bar for more lounging. Our server was fantastic and very friendly.

We both ordered rainbow bowls, I had the beef and my husband had the shrimp. Highly recommend to come hungry. The portions of the bowls were huge and had so much flavor. We can't wait to visit again and try other options on their menu as I'm sure they taste just as amazing.

It is my favorite restaurant, but I was disappointed with my third visit there about 10 days ago…read more First there was a hair in the dipping oil just before I put my bread in. The waiter was very nice and he served us a new one, but it's a lousy way to start a meal. Quickly, I'll tell you that the calamari was very good. I love their batter. My husband had a muscle and clam Napolitano appetizer. The seafood was tender and cooked perfectly. The sauce was less savory than I've had in the past. Let's put it this way. You didn't really want to dip your bread into it. Once in a while, I get the desire for meatballs and they were good, but the sauce was not as good as I've had in the past. I can taste good tomatoes when they're in a sauce and in this case, the quality of the tomatoes used as a base in this sauce was subpar. To make matters worse, we were seated in the second table right across from the bar as you walk in And a man came in with three little dogs(not service dogs). He came in to chat at the bar to a friend I assume. I wouldn't mind for a few minutes, but it was at least 3540 minutes that he was there and as we were eating, I could smell the dogs because I had the outside seat and I said something to the waiter and he said he really couldn't do anything about it. The man finally left. But you don't put dogs inside the restaurant right next to where a customer is eating, it's absurd. We did not order dinner dishes. It was a night that we wanted to eat light. It's usually a wonderful place to eat, but not that night....
