All of the drinks are great and interesting (shout out to Diors, the bartender!). For apps, we had the mussels, bread service, and duck wings. Do not skip the duck wings - they were a great portion, the meat fell off the bone, and the flavor was phenomenal! For dinner, the group ordered the ribeye, shrimp and grits, chicken sandwich, pork ragu, and fish sandwich. The crowd favorites were the fish sandwich, chicken sandwich, and shrimp and grits. Great spot in downtown Sarasota!

They drinks were remade but unfortunately the taste didn't move very much from its original state, perhaps that's how the Spritz tastes? The pork ragú this time was missing that je ne sais quoi. Perhaps a change in recipe? The server too, they were missing that dazzle that Connor had provided and fell flat with her personality. All in all, the experience wasn't as illustrious as the first go around. Previous Experience: From the door being opened for us, to the moment we walked out, the experience at State Street was celestial. The libations were on point and I thoroughly enjoyed two orders of the Holla Peña, it had a wicked nice kick! Their fresh, homemade bread was excellent and served with a nice side of salted butter. My date took the special. The filet with the dauphine pommes and enjoyed it very much. She couldn't stop smiling. I had the Pork Ragu and I'll say...it is something I'll fantasize about for sometime to come. LOL It was CHOICE. Our server Connor was so polite, timely, knew how to read cues and overall made it the best experience out dining in a while. It's all how you take care of patrons with pacing and knowing your menu. He also had some friendly recommendations for the rest of our date and couldn't have asked for better time. We will be back.

Our table was nice and our server was friendly. The menu was varied, but of course triple tail was their specialty. We started out with warm crunchy rolls with butter and cinnamon butter. It was so good!!!! I got a Caesar salad which was fairly large and was really good. My entree was shrimp stuffed with crab, served over rice and a side of beans and carrots. The food arrived after we got to enjoy our salads, which I love. My entree arrived nice and hot. The shrimp and crab were delicious and I enjoyed the rice and vegetables. Service was good and prices were comparable to other restaurants of this type. I would definitely return.

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!

May 2026 update - Pepino Refresco - cucumber & jalapeño infused misguided tequila blanco,…read morepineapple, green chartreuse, agave and lime 2 out of 5 - although the green chartreuse combined with the pineapple juice gives the drink a pleasant color, the intrinsic sweetness of the green chartreuse with the agave made it feel off balance, cloying and slightly awkward; I'm not necessarily about complaining or returning a drink so I did ask for more pineapple and lime juice to balance out the drink; as the drink's recipe currently stands, I would not order it again or recommend it, the idea of using a cucumber & jalapeño infused blanco tequila is lovely but I'd rather have them build a margarita with that base spirit instead of going for the Pepino Refresco recipe as it is on their current menu in 2026; the intensity of the chartreuse flattens the delicate infusion that was used to prepare the tequila Mushroom Parfait - grilled baguette, torn lion's mane mushroom, shaved truffle, herb salad - *add this to the "one of the most delicious things I've eaten" list* - this dish had me delightfully impressed unlike anything I've had before! The delicate, fresh greens had the perfect ratio of light vinaigrette dressing. It was so pleasant to add a modest amount of the mushroom emulsion on the baguette and follow a bite of that with the greens. Truly a must order dish if you like mushrooms. French fries - you can't go wrong with the french fries here, go ahead and ask for a side of any aioli they offer you to have them with, I'm definitely ordering these again here
