The service was good, just enough for this small spot The sauce on the rabbit was fire with a Dijon mustard cream sauce. The carpaccio was enjoyable and typical as most joints. The brick chicken had a nice crispy skin. The white meat was a bit dry but expected. The salsa verde was not preferred by me but glad I got to try it. I liked the grilled lemon for an extra flavor profile This is definitely a fancier spot for the beach surroundings and awesome to have as an option instead of your typical seafood beach bar foods

My mom hadn't eaten all day, so we made the 30-minute drive to St. Pete hoping for a better experience, and it was absolutely worth it. From the moment we arrived, Chris and his team took amazing care of us. The hospitality, attentiveness, and overall atmosphere made us feel genuinely welcomed and appreciated. What could have ended as a ruined Mother's Day became a memorable brunch thanks to the team at Sauvignon. Big shout out to Chris and everyone there for going above and beyond. Excellent service makes all the difference, and we truly appreciated it.

The menu is fairly limited, but their house-made pastas are out of this world! I had one of their specials featuring pasta and airline chicken, which was excellent. My friend ordered another pasta dish, her husband had the fish special and my husband ordered the filet, which was cooked perfectly for him. Portions are on the smaller side, but still very filling. My husband and I each started with a Caesar salad. I forgot to ask for it without anchovies, and they gave the salad a very strong, fishy flavor. If you're not a big anchovy fan like me, I'd recommend ordering it without. Service was excellent for a busy Friday night. Our server was friendly and helped guide us with wine recommendations. He was spot on, and the wines paired beautifully with the meals we chose. Definitely a great spot for a cozy dinner in the heart of Central Ave.

Zoo was by far the most hospitable bartender I have ever come in contact with. The line was absolutely amazing and so is the food. The venue is small that adds to the aesthetic. I cannot wait to come back and try the new things on a mini period when I gave this four stars because of walking in, we weren't necessarily greeted or welcomed at the rate that would have been nice. It's took a while for two out of the three bartenders to even acknowledge us after we sat down (even after making eye contact) and so as a first impression that sticks out, but overall, this place is absolutely amazing! Zoo is the best!!

A tiny restaurant can make a big impression because I'm still thinking about everything I ate here. The food was fabulous and so thoughtful.

They offer diverse options for the charcuterie board (I chose the pick 3) so you can make so many pairings Brooke was stellar, super attentive even when it was packed. and I loved her recommendations! she knows what she's talking about and we love that!!! On my pick 3 board I got sopressata salami dry cured with chili peppers and black peppercorns, smoke hatchpepper Gouda and Cana de Cabra goat cheese from Spain. My waitress said the Cana de Cabra spanish goat cheese was "off the chain" and she waaaas NOT lying! skip the rind, but definitely try this cheese and expect blast off on your taste buds fr. It was earthy and velvety and creamy, just so good. Brooke was fantastic, as was this restaurant. Definitely worth checking out!

A mix of many flavors and types. Small seating area and seat yourself if it is not busy. You can make reservations though. Brooke was awesome. Great suggestions on food and wine. Very friendly and helpful. We tried the carpaccio to start. Very fresh and tasty. My only ding would be it was a little too much balsamic for us. We like to taste the meat and the balsamic kinda covered it up a bit. Next we had the chorizo stuffed tomatoes. Delicious! Perfect size for 2 to share. Lots of flavors. Really good. Solid wine spot and I'm a really chill, non central spot.

I didn't know the history behind Urban Stillhouse, the distillery, or that we had chosen the perfect restaurant to celebrate America's birthday at! Our server was awesome, sharing stories and fun tidbits about the history of the place and its owners. I always love getting to learn about the people behind the magic!! I ordered their gin martini and it was pretty fun that it came deconstructed. Aka, add whichever olives you'd like and as much brine as your heart desires. We split a few apps- the veal meatballs, octopus... both were delish! I got the bone in filet as my main and it was great. The rest of my family loved their food as well. Excited to come back and try more in the future!!

Lamb was very good, though could have been slightly less pink (I ordered medium).. Crust was lovely. Good recommendation. Bison steak was also tasty and had a nice crust but was a little undercooked and bloody for medium rare. The chocolate espresso cake was moist and dense and the sauce was so good. The icing gave it a nice balance. Beautiful place and nice ambiance, with the dark wood, high ceilings, and fireplace.

We've been here several times for dinner, but they just keep getting better and better. It's the cutest cozsey little place right on central and the service is always on point. Most recently, my husband and I came for dinner. We started with the burrata and plum special as well as the tuna tartare for appetizers. When I tell you I will dream about the burrata appetizer. It was that good. The tuna was delicious as well and we loved the shrimp chips and how they were shaped like little tacos to make your own tuna tacos! For dinner, I got the branzino and my husband got the cheeseburger with truffle fries. Both entrees were incredible. No notes. Then we got three desserts...we had the lemon tart and the donut bread pudding while at the restaurant and we got a chocolate cake to go. All of the desserts were delicious. However, the donut bread pudding exceeded any expectations I had for that dessert when I ordered it. I legitimately am considering coming back next weekend just for the bread pudding.
