We debated for the longest time if we should give 2 or 3 stars overall since we LOVED our wedding,…read morebut unfortunately A Fresh Connection dropped the ball when it came to their execution of our event. From day one we were upfront about what we wanted for our wedding reception. We had a micro, destination wedding with what ended up being less than 20 people total. We made it very clear from the beginning about my onion allergy and about the food we required for our menu. We were told things could be made from scratch without onion. It had also been noted all over our invoice. My allergy was the primary topic of conversation throughout the entirety of our communication with A Fresh Connection. Yet, the day of our reception they asked who exactly had the allergy... Key elements were missing from the salad and a special side was left off my plate. We had to ask someone to get Chef Lisa for us so we could ask why. Nothing had been disclosed to us before our wedding reception. She proceeded to tell us there were trace amounts of onion in the side. I had to ask her to bring it over anyway. I took a chance in eating just a little bit so I could enjoy the menu we had established. I didn't understand how such a mistake could be made when we were so direct about my allergy and told things could be made from scratch. For example, the mini spanakopita appetizer had been made without onion, so why wouldn't the same be applied to the rest of the meal? We found out the onion element applied to one missing ingredient from the salad. The other missing elements had simply been forgotten. Even worse, entrees were served cold, which should have never happened. Our bartender Matt also did not serve the non-alcoholic beverages for our guests who could not have alcohol. At the end of the night, Matt made his way around the room and very abruptly started tossing things in the trash. My husband actually had to say something to him to try and get him to stop. Two important, religious related boxes went missing. Both were important, but one in particular had been customized to house our religious item, so we've been looking for it ever since. Matt also bickered with my husband how none of the chairs had to be folded and put on top of the tables. Yet, that's what the venue coordinator had told my husband during the walk through. We ended up having to do it ourselves because Matt just left without telling us. All of the staff belonging to A Fresh Connection left without a word or even telling us where the leftovers were. Our experience was extremely bittersweet.

Still such an amazing place. Dare I say a hidden gem in DTSP…read more Stopped in for happy hour but couldn't resist the rest of the menu. Had pretty much all of the cocktails on the happy hour. The standouts were the Citico. El Bandido Yankee Tequila, Fair Kumquat, Aperol, Orange Tea, Superfoam. Delicious. So smooth and refreshing. Also the Smoke. Old Forester Bourbon, Orange & Apple Bitters, Bacon Maple Cube, Apple Smoke. Sweet but got better as the bacon ice cube melted. Came with a ghost sort too. For food we grabbed the chips. Very tasty with a nice Gorgonzola drizzle. We also grabbed the meatballs. Very tasty. Intense flavors and cooked very well. Bartenders were awesome and food came out fast. Such a great place in St Pete. We will make it out more often.

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful with its outdoor area and grand pillared entrance. We were warmly greeted by the host and seated immediately. The space is much larger that it appears from the outside, and the tables are spread out enough to keep conversations private-almost too spread out, as they could easily fit another table or two in each room. Our server was warm, friendly and extreamely knowledgeable about the menu. He gave us plenty of time to decide and offered a few helpful recommendations. The guys ordered filet mignon, I chose the market fish special (grouper) and my friend ordered the salmon. Three of us started with the Caesar salad and the heirloom tomato salad, while another friend opted for the rabbit agnolotti appetizer. While he enjoyed it he said there wasn't enough rabbit. The salads were spot on. Our server had a perfect sense of timing-he appeared right when we needed him, and every course was delivered with ideal spacing. We never felt rushed, and the whole evening felt calm and elegant. There is also an incredible wine room - floor-to-ceiling bottles, row after row. The cocktail list was just okay, I wish there were more options. I started with a cocktail but switched to a Bordeaux, which paired nicely with my meal. Everything we ordered was delicious. The filets come a la crate, so we added whipped mashed potatoes and mushrooms. The potatoes were silky smooth and absolutely wonderful. My husband declared the filet one of the best he's ever had. Even at just seven ounces, it was surprisingly filling. The price tag was hefty, but in his opinion, worth every single penny. For dessert, my husband ordered vanilla and cinnamon ice cream and our friends had a slice of flourless chocolate torte. I had a few bites of the ice cream and it was silky and smooth. It was definitely one of the most expensive meals we've had lately, but between the food, service and atmosphere, it was worth it. Beautiful restaurant, and I'd absolutely come back for another relaxing night out.
