We met up here tonight with friends we hadn't seen in years--between COVID, moves, and life just…read moregetting in the way--and honestly, we couldn't have picked a better place to reconnect. This spot has always held great memories for all of us, whether together or separately, and we were hoping it would still feel the same. It absolutely did. Since it was a Monday night, it was nicely relaxed--not too crowded--and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. We grabbed a table right by the bar in the open-air section, and everything about it was just perfect. The weather cooperated (low humidity for the win!), and the setting felt like a little tropical escape. Between the pergola, Bimini-style covers, and all the lush greenery, it honestly felt like dining in a beautiful garden. Our server was fantastic--patient, attentive, and genuinely kind--even as we got caught up in nonstop conversation and took our time ordering. Never once felt rushed, which made the night even more enjoyable. When we finally ordered, the food did not disappoint. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There are so many great options on the menu that everyone at the table left happy (and already talking about what to try next time). It's rare to find a place that delivers consistently on atmosphere, service, and food--but this one still does. So glad we chose it for such a meaningful night. We'll definitely be back.

I really thought it was going to be simple "bar food" but it was solid. Not going to be the best meal of your life, but it was good. I LOVE the upstairs.

So, the initial greeting was lack luster, we got right in but the wait to get our food was long, and the food was not great. The server was super nice, but I felt she had too big of a section to manage by herself. The place is nice and clean. Looks pretty much the same as it did when it was Florida Steakhouse....kind of western/ woodsy. Anyway, we ordered: Tenders and double onion rings for the two sides. Pigsty burger, hold the chili, with friend. What a mess. My medium well burger was like charcoal and the five onion rings my hubby got were falling apart. For $5 the margarita was tasty but the menu really isn't that special and we won't be returning. Two stars and only that many because it was clean and the server was sweet.

That said, the food matches up with outstanding food experience in taste, presentation and overall culinary offerings!! I missed photos of our starters; Soup of the Day - Crab and Corn Chowder and Potato Latke. The chowder had great flavor and plenty of vegetables and crab with each bite. The base was thinner than a traditional chowder but still very delicious. Latkes were good but I saw the foie gras go to another table and wish we had tried that instead. All of the entrees were delicious. Filet was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The Tile fish was beautifully prepared. Very light and flavorful with the fennel salad and bean cassoulet. The winner was the House-made gnocchi. Deep in flavors and the gnocchi melted in your mouth. Because they were made with flour (vs potato), they were like pillows of goodness on a plate. We were tapped out...and then we looked at the dessert menu. Banana pudding caught our attention and it did not disappoint. Beautiful layering of banana jam (think banana foster), pudding, wafers and whip cream. Great end to the meal! We will be back...maybe even twice on trip!

The wait was brief and we were quickly seated in a comfortable section. Our server, Bryan, was excellent! He did not get flustered with our needy table full of questions and requests. I am so impressed with how they handle allergies. We notified them of multiple allergies at the table and they took it very seriously. The manager, Shawn, came out to double check about allergies and clarify what was safe and not safe. One of the little ones was distraught to learn that the cinnamon rolls were not safe for his allergy and they noticed and arraigned for him to have an ice cream sundae after dinner. They give you so much food! With every meal you get fish chowder, salad, cinnamon rolls, hush puppy, and a buttered roll. You also get a side. Majority of the table order a version of the you pick two and enjoyed their selection and preparation. I got the salmon blackened and Rockefeller. It was a little spicy but really good.

Are you kidding me?! This turned out to be one of the biggest surprise eateries of the year for me…read more This little spot, beachside New Smyrna Beach, has quietly been winning hearts and if a place lasts more than a year, that's usually a very good sign. One morning, out with friends enjoying ocean walks and ocean views we were all hit by those mid-morning hunger pangs, someone asked if we'd ever tried it. I'll admit, I was skeptical. I didn't know a thing about the place. But I trusted the company I was with, and I'm so glad I did. Breakfast here is pure comfort food--the kind that reminds you of lazy mornings by the shore, shared laughs, and time spent with people you actually enjoy. The food is genuinely delicious, the waffles are a must, and the coffee? Top notch--always a win. The menu has plenty of choices without feeling overwhelming, perfect for a casual morning out near the beach. It's not fancy, it's not trying to be, and it's not forgettable. It's just right. A true surprise and absolutely worth coming back to. If you're near the beach in New Smyrna Beach and craving a breakfast that hits all the right notes, check this place out. You won't be disappointed.

I went for the waffle topped with bananas, strawberries, and Nutella. It was SO good!

While the kitchen team is firing on all cylinders, your seating choice will entirely dictate your experience. The outside seating is lovely, relaxing, and wonderfully quiet--perfect for a peaceful dinner. However, the inside seating gets incredibly noisy and loud, making it difficult to hold a conversation.

Friends, I must confess: I should not have waited this long. Just like Uncle Chicken's across the way, everything here is prepared with love and care. I had the meatloaf. It's prepared with big cubes of white cheddar, bacon, and ground meat, then pressed together into a juicy, almost cubed steak consistency, then finished off in a cast iron skillet with a sweet red sauce and sliced fresh jalapeños on top. I kid you not when I say I had to look my mother in the eyes and say this was better. The sweet, spicy, and savory flavors all melded together in my mouth in a jubilee of taste, and the skillet serving style ensured the food stayed piping hot and fresh throughout my meal. I had it with asparagus (very yummy and cooked alongside in the skillet) and au gratin potatoes (consistency and flavor of a wonderful, creamy macaroni and cheese). My parents shared the pork souvlaki. They report that it was wonderful. The pork was perfectly juicy (I hate dried out pork), and this place has the best tzatziki you'll find this side of the Mediterranean. We finished off our meal with a southern comfort classic: peach cobbler. Just like everything else, it was delicious. Ever since Cracker Barrel replaced their blackberry cobbler with the current travesty of a dessert they pretend is cobbler, I've been looking for a replacement. This hit the spot. The location is perfect for the food, too. It feels like you've just been invited into someone's house for a potluck dinner. Staggered lighting across the ceiling (with some red, green and blue lights) complete the dive look, while guitars, a Centipede arcade cabinet, and tons of chicken figurines line the room. You'll feel like you've traveled to the mountains of Appalachia as the soft bluegrass plays in the background and the smells of the kitchen caress your nostrils. Guy Fieri should have come here when he came through town a while back.
