    Blackened Prime Rib
    Winnie Y.

    I came here with a larger group and I'm glad it was suggested to make reservations. I got the special for the night which was a blackened prime rib. The prime rib was good and cooked well. The sides were just okay, nothing special. I did see the lobster tail being ordered by others and it looked delicious. There wasn't anything amazing or terrible during my visit. It was okay.

    Came here for dinner the Friday night after Thanksgiving. We were a party of six. Not small but not super large either. We made a reservation and were seated promptly. That's about where anything good ends. Both the food and the service were terrible. Service was extremely slow and the food came out cold. Must have been sitting around a while for it to be picked up by the server. The soups that were ordered were cold and didn't taste good. I had the 8oz prime rib as my main course. Though it looks good in the picture it was very tough. There was a large line grizzle that ran through it that made it impossible to cut or even chew. The outer rim that is usually the tender and tasty part was dry and tasteless. I didn't even know you could make prime rib that poorly. Would not give them another try.

    We asked our friend for a recommendation and Bonnie nailed it. The owner came to say hi before leaving for the day and the food was spot on. The picture on the wall says this is the oldest restaurant in Ormond Beach. I had the fillet and my wife had the special (beef stroganoff). Both meals were Amazing and I will be back. Call for a reservation, this Place turned away 10-20 people in the hour we were here.

    My husband's birthday celebration fillet was wonderful my beef stroganoff and the chicken Francese we're not so good stroganoff beef was dry and not a creamy sauce like I really enjoy . Swordfish good but bland , worst of all they don't wear a mask servers bartenders greeters anyone! Server Luann was friendly and efficient

    Mahi mahi. Prepared Provençal but I asked them to crispy the top in the broiler

    First time coming here, no idea why it took so long to eat here. We loved it! Great service from making the Rez with the hostess to getting the best table since it was our first time. Great atmosphere and food. You can go on the "sports" side with live music (loud and fun) or the table cloth dining side that is quieter but you can still hear the music. Wanted to share pictures from our dinner since they don't have many on here. I recommend ordering your martini "blue" as it comes with blue cheese stuffed olives :) yum!

    It was a Thursday evening and I was driving from my hotel out to the beach heading to another restaurant when I spotted this place out of the corner of my eye. It's a cute looking pub/restaurant. It reminds me a bit of something you might see in Europe or Russia. It's actually situated in a strip center and there's no real parking for the place. You have to either park in the street past it, park in front of it (there's only three spots) or park in the public parking before it. There are pictures of this establishment, way back in the day when the road out to the beach was a dirt road and there was plenty of parking for it in front of the establishment then. Now, with the wide "modern road", Parking is a little challenging. Upon entering this place, I was delighted to see that every table had a tablecloth, including those in the bar area, which is a nice touch. In about 30 seconds time I actually had two servers and the bartender come over and try to assist me with getting a table! I was seated in the bar area just inside the door, but it turned out to be pretty cool because it gave me a view to the entertainer that was playing that night, Frank. He played 60s and 70s music on an acoustical guitar. He was quite entertaining and very pleasant. My server's name was Denise. For some reason she reminded me of Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. She had a pleasant smile and was very attentive. I had a Crown & Coke to start, which was made quite well, but when I decided to get another one. I asked how much they cost, and I got sticker shock. It was $8.50! I was pretty floored. Considering this was just a small pub/restaurant in Ormond Beach, not Miami or Tampa this price should be adjusted down a couple of dollars. I switched over to a draft, which was 20 ounces and reasonably priced at $5.50. They carried Sam Adams Summer ale when I was there in June. I was served warm focaccia cheese bread with whipped butter, wonderful. It was wrapped in a napkin to keep it warm, another bonus. My place setting even had a salad fork which was also unexpected in this type of place. I found my salad to be a delightful mix of spinach leaves and Romaine. Also included were red onion slices, tasty croutons and a couple of sliced in half, cherry tomatoes. The blue cheese dressing was served and a small metal ramekin on the side. It was Roquefort style and nice and chunky. Unfortunately I would later discover at 3 o'clock in the morning that the spinach must not have been washed real well. I will call the restaurant later when they open and let them know. Dinner was served pretty quickly. I barely had time to check out the Wi-Fi situation, which was limited connectivity at best. I had ordered the grouper supreme, which is listed as Grouper, Crabmeat, Shrimp and Scallops with Fresh Herbs & White Wine in Supreme Sauce. I was told of the grouper was 7 to 8 ounces, but it was really more like 4 to 5. However, with the two large scallops each cut in half, two medium-size shrimp, crabmeat and cream sauce, I filled up rather quickly. The portion of broccoli was small on the plate as well, but it ended up being the perfect size. All the seafood was fresh with no discernible fishy smell. The Cream sauce was sweet and just thick enough. My entrée ran $31. This is slightly over what I would have expected to pay but still within reason. For dessert I chose the bread pudding initially it was then that I'd discovered that the restaurant closes at 9 PM and it was already 9:30 PM. They had already shut the ovens off. I had lost track of time but in no way did I feel rushed by anyone. I ended up ordering the crème brûlée. All desserts are six dollars. The crème brûlée was served and a small ramekin with two dollops of whipped cream and a small slice of strawberries accompanying it on the plate. My ramekin was not filled all the way to the top but given the time I did not complain. Overall, It was tasty but it was not worth six dollars. In summary, I feel I would definitely return to this location again to check out other foods or perhaps one of the other 19 different ways they serve up grouper! If I lived local I would definitely bring a date here as the other side (restaurant) seemed quite romantic. It is also large enough for a couple of large parties as well. If you're looking for a place with great service and a nice atmosphere with fresh seafood you'll want to check this place out, just make sure you ask about pricing.

    During covid-19 social distancing I think not. Plus note the server NO MASK

    My friend Tony had the diver scallops, fried, and could not nearly finish them all, so I tried a couple.

    I stopped by River Grille for lunch. It was a nice large casual restaurant with outside seating…read moreoverlooking the Tomoka River where boaters can dock and dine. I chose to sit outside (something I normally don't do) since it wasn't very humid. River Grille offers a diverse menu that mixes a bit of Cajun influence with southern cooking. I placed an order for the Bayou Hurricane, some gator bites, and Citrus Bourbon Salmon served with my choice of two sides (red beans & rice and garlic mashed potatoes). As I was enjoying my refreshing cocktail, the server brought out the gator bites. It was my first time trying them, and they were actually the best thing I've ever tasted. The Cajun remoulade complemented the texture of the alligator, which was fried perfectly and wasn't chewy. The deliciousness continued with the salmon. It was grilled nicely and topped with a tasty sweet citrus bourbon bbq sauce and onion strings. The red beans & rice was cooked to a soft consistency and the mashed potatoes was creamy and flavorful. I would describe my outdoor dining experience as pleasurable --that is, until a squirrel appeared and started going around the tables as if it were a regular patron. It was all smiles until the squirrel climbed up the chair, propped itself on the table, and looked straight at me as if to say, "Hey, you gonna eat the rest of that salmon?" I knew it meant me no harm, so I didn't freak out; however, I wasn't sharing my delicious salmon with it. I slowly grabbed my cocktail with one hand and the plate with the remains of salmon with the other hand as the squirrel scurried toward me. Luckily, two servers saw my predicament and came to shoo the squirrel away. Well, that killed my appetite. I asked for a container for the leftovers and ordered dessert to go. Don't get it twisted, I'm not deterred from coming back, it will just be indoors next time.

The prices are reasonable for what you get. The service was amazing. Sat at the bar every single time. Carlos and the pecan tan Tom Selleck mustache bartender (sorry didn't catch your name) were amazing. Coming from someone who works in hospitality that's the first thing I notice. The service. SPOT ON. Do not skip the clam chowder. I repeat DO NOT skip the clam chowder. It was unbelievably good with bacon or pork in it? Gave it a smoky flavor. Unreal. So good. The Caesar dressing tastes homemade but can't be sure. The oyster combo and baked oysters were the best. Not overcooked like most places and tiny. Just done PERFECTLY. I'd like to take a second to talk about the stuffed grouper. I've never had anything so good. And I'm not even a grouper fan. Wow. One star is missing bc on the next night I decided to try the "famous" steak tips. Nope. As a cook I know what happened. They were marinating in a Worcestershire or type marinade which almost cures/dries the meat and once you cook it, it dries out fast. They were like leather but I didn't complain bc my fat husband ate them and they didn't go to waste. But you can't call something famous and have it be bad. No pictures of the super dry steak tips because honestly who wants to see that? Anyway, we'll be back. My fav restaurant on the east coast!
