The chef's selected charcuterie was of the best I've ever had. It was only ~$7 during happy hour, which felt like the biggest steal. The main dishes didn't stand out as much, but the vibes were great and leaned casual. I'd definitely come back for more frosé and that charcuterie board alone. The service was amazing our waiter walked us through the menu.

Future Christina, you should always get the seafood plateau, it is delicious and also you leave feeling not weighed down. We also split a small Caesar salad, which no longer comes with blue cheese, which is great, and that was enough food for both me and my husband. This time the seafood plateau came with muscles, oysters, fish spread, shrimp cocktail, and crab legs. It also has a ton of toasted bread for the fish spread. I ate the oysters and mussels, and my husband ate most of the shrimp and the crab legs. I love the fish spread so I'm glad it comes with that as well. The one con was it took an hour before we even ordered our food. That was crazy to me. Luckily we had accounted for a lot of time before our show at the Mahaffey, but if we didn't, that would've been exceptionally stressful. I do have to shout out that they're fresh pressed orange juice is absolutely delicious and well worth the eight dollar charge for a small glass (carafe is $14 so get the carafe instead). The grapefruit juice isn't cold pressed in house, but is cold pressed. It is less expensive at around five dollars, I don't think it is as good as the orange juice, but if you like grapefruit juice, it is pretty good. My husband got an old-fashioned and liked it. Overall, I still really enjoy this place, but if you're in a rush, you should probably tell your server so that way you get in and out quicker.

The place filled up quickly and service, despite our being one of two tables for half an hour, was spotty, although our server was polite and professional. Coffee and water weren't refilled...that type of thing. I wouldn't return for brunch. Not a huge selection for breakfast items, and the food was just adequate. All of our meals were cold. Eggs. Potatoes. Cold. This was our first time here, and I probably won't go back. Valet parking, but on busy days be prepared to wait as they service several restaurants. Otherwise, parking is on the street.

There's interior and exterior seating. You can make a reservation as they do tend to get busy around dinner time, but they do accept walk ins as well. Parking can be limited during busy times, but you can also park right behind the school and it is a short walk to the restaurant. The servers are friendly and accommodating.

We were really excited to have dinner here tonight. The Lemon Chicken Tagine and Lamb Tagine were…read moreboth delicious and full of flavor. Unfortunately, the portion sizes were surprisingly small for the price, especially the chicken dish. We arrived at 5:45 p.m. for our 6:00 p.m. reservation and were seated promptly, which was appreciated. However, we waited about 45 minutes for our meals to arrive. While our waitress wasn't particularly attentive, she did apologize for the delay in getting our food. The restaurant itself is cute, specially outside seating. One suggestion is that the tables are larger for two people. The table next to us requested another table to be moved over to hold their food and drinks properly. The pita bread didn't arrive until later in the meal, and while it was a nice addition, it didn't make up for the small serving sizes and lack of anything to dip it into at that point. I truly wanted to love this restaurant and leave a glowing review because the food itself was very good. Sadly, between the long wait, service issues, and portion sizes that didn't match the prices, the overall experience fell short of our expectations.

I cannot begin to describe how much I loved this place…read more We came in for breakfast and had the place to ourselves around 9:30, but it was a Sunday and a slow morning in St. Pete. Everything was made to order and absolutely delicious ! I was so happy , my Quiche was moist and the perfect texture , and my Husband's croissant with egg and sausage was also very good. However it is a croissant and egg you eat with a fork and knife, just a heads up. I had an iced hazelnut latte and it was absolutely delicious! It's a quaint restaurant , a few tables but nothing too big, though they do have one table that can accommodate a large group. The service was brilliant, I wish I got to speak with her note she had a wonderful energy. She was the either the owner or a manager, the only one there at this time. Thank you for a wonderful experience and meal.

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.

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.

There is both indoor and outdoor seating here, and we chose to eat inside when we visited for Sunday brunch.

The inside of the restaurant is a great vibe and has a lot of character. Definitely a great date spot restaurant. The service was great. Our server was knowledgable on the menu, gave great recommendations and checked in on us often. The food was delicious. We ordered items a la carte for brunch and I don't have anything negative to say about any of it. The portion sizes were great, we definitely did not leave hungry.

The appetizers: Tuna tartare was nothing special it also didn't come with any bread or chip just plop on the plate. The goat cheese appetizer special was a small circle with oily crusted bread. One main course was 1/2 rack of lamb cooked perfectly and nice portion, Za'atar cauliflower nice portion didn't taste like Za'atar. Pasta dish had to add black pepper was ok. I must say the cucumber vodka soda spritzer was super refreshing!! The service was great, atmosphere, they really tried but must of had an off kitchen night.
