Basically everything I could ask for from a lounge. Plus, the owner was kind, helpful, knowledgable and attentive. The wine tap is a fun time. You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine. Wines I tried, remember & recommend (you truly can't go wrong): - Passione Sangue di Giuda dell'Oltrepo Pavese - Chateau Pilet Bordeaux - Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay the decor is vibrant, rustic and cozy. so much wood. even more art! And lots of different styles of seating including booths, leather chairs, bar seating and small tables. accommodating for lots of group sizes! They offer happy hour Monday-Friday and trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. All around a vibe! Definitely worth checking out.

A tiny restaurant can make a big impression because I'm still thinking about everything I ate here. The food was fabulous and so thoughtful. The brie & proscuitto crostinis come on a thin, crispy baguette layered with a proscuitto that was so creamy and salty, it went so well with the freshness of the microgreens, the crunch of the nuts and the sweet drizzle of hot honey with a tingle of spice. loved this! They offer diverse options for the charcuterie board (I chose the pick 3) so you can make so many pairings Brooke was stellar, super attentive even when it was packed. and I loved her recommendations! she knows what she's talking about and we love that!!! On my pick 3 board I got sopressata salami dry cured with chili peppers and black peppercorns, smoke hatchpepper Gouda and Cana de Cabra goat cheese from Spain.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened but could not convince my family to go…read moresince they did not have AC. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they got AC and immediately asked my family to visit. We have gone several times since then and we LOVE it. We do make reservations, but there have been open tables for walk-ins each time we have gone. Service is top-notch. We have had the same server each time and he banters well with my family- which makes the experience even better. Now, for the food. I recommend going for happy hour, but we do not always eat that early. Happy hour has great deals on appetizers and drinks. I love their grouper cheek sliders and fish dip. The hot sauce on the table is a datil pepper sauce and so very good. My favorite entrees are the blackened grouper sandwich and the baja-style fish tacos. I really cant wait to try the burger, but I love the other items so much I have a hard time not ordering those each time I go. My husband enjoys oysters and does not trust them at many restaurants. He is willing to pay more for quality, fresh oysters. Cheeky's is the place to go for oysters. He ordered the "best" variety for raw and fell in love with them. He also really likes the lightly breaded and fried oysters. They are not greasy and perfectly cooked every time. Drinks are fantastic. I got a special on Kentucky Derby day, a mint julep and it was so tasty. I usually enjoy their mixed drinks and my husband mixes it up between beer and mixed drinks. Recommend all of them. Intrigued by the Salt & Vinegar martini, but have not tried it yet. The restaurant is usually loud, casual, and lively. I feel completely comfortable bringing my grandkids and not worrying about how loud they are. We love the 'old florida' feel and recommend trying this place. We are already regulars.

Went last weekend. Some good things some meh…read more We had a few apps, groups cheek sliders, smoked fish spread, deviled eggs and we had a lobster roll. I also had the salt and vinegar martini, it was Ok. Would mint order it again. The frozen espresso was delicious. The grouper cheeks were good but you only get two. The deviled eggs with the fried oyster were great. The fish spread was just weird. Not a fan at all. Felt like it was mixed with oil instead of mayo or dairy. The lobster roll was disappointing for $40. Definitely not worth $40. Gordon Ramsey's lobster roll isn't even that much and it's phenomenal. The raw oysters were delicious. We got the "good" ones. Was trying to gouge out how oystered from Tampa Bay were the "better" ones. I would not eat anything out of Tampa Bay when I can get VA oysters for a better price. All in all the experience was just ..Ok. I would go back for the oyster happy hour.

Snacks are the key word, it's a small place so there isn't a full kitchen but don't let that deter you. There is a selection of offerings and a weekly sandwich special. A fun little addition is that they also have the most beautiful flower bar so you can curate your own bouquet. The selection is fresh and healthy. This place is small and quaint, very welcoming, and seemingly doing it all right. P.S. Their boiled peanuts rival the Cajun boiled peanuts "The Peanut Lady" cooks roadside on SR 40 in the Ocala National Forest. If you know, you know.
