    Pleasantly Surprised. We were in the area for capybara experience and needed a place to eat after. This place did not disappoint. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly crispy with a nice kick. The tuna nachos were great as was the basic cheese pie. The service was excellent. Drinks were solid too. The only thing that wasn't great was the kids burger it was like a hockey puck With fries.

    If you are looking for culinary cuisine that excites your palate, this is the place! From salads, sandwiches, wraps, to wood fired pizzas, and burgers, nothing on the menu will disappoint. Their culinary creations will tantalize your taste buds, but be warned that you'll eat more than you should and still leave with take out boxes as the portions are plenty! Their culinary creations atmosphere is set in the historic downtown of Brooksville with brick walls, concrete floors and high, soaring ceilings. Perfect for large gatherings or a quiet couples lunch. This place is a must try for everyone!

    10/10 Came for a girls night and left with a new spot for the rotation. The food was absolutely delicious. The staff was super busy and they def needed more on hand but a smile the entire time. Friendly. Took their time! Never once did I feel rushed or as a burden. Our server, Melinda, was fast, gave some amazing recommendations and made the best marg I've had in years! Will absolutely be back!

    Here we are again . .. Burger time . I had the nina was amazing . Great beef . Best smash burger i have had in a long long long time . As usual a hit . Service amazing. Not overwhelming but around just enough . I guess pizza is next and i will have run the gambit . 6 stars

    Nice decos, great vibe and comfortable seating. Not a big menu, but it should have something for everyone. My dishes came out perfect with fresh healthy ingredients. The prices are reasonable.

    I knew as soon as I walked in that it was going to be great. They did not disappoint. Service was immediate upon sitting. The server was very patient as we looked over the menu. There were several dishes that I would have gotten, but I decided on the Yardbird. They were out of a pinot noir and really didn't have much else that looked good to me. My friend started out with a fried green tomato app. OMG! This will change your life as you know it. The chunky bacon bits are what made these the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had! My friend also ordered a black and blue salad to go. But my friend substituted her bleu cheese for gorgonzola. No problems. The salad looked really good. I ordered the Yardbird Fried Chicken Sandwich with a side of fries. The photo I took doesn't do it justice because this thing was a monster sandwich. The fries were crispy and soft. The perfect fry. I honestly didn't think I could finish it. I almost did. Great sandwich. So after seeing that wood fired oven I decided to get a pizza to go. I ordered the Carnivore. I ate 2 slices for dinner. Another winner. Nice chewy crust with a nice blend of pepperoni, sausage, and that chunky bacon. I wanted to try dessert but I was too full from the sandwich. I'll say this. I really dig the old furnishings in the place. It has character. The decor is eclectic. I found myself looking around for interesting things to look at. Finally, I'll say this. I live in Hillsborough County. I'd drive an hour just to eat here. It's that good.

    Food is ok. They have many options for everyone. Just dont order the pizzas. Not good. Ordered a appetizer and pizza came out a minute later. My only response to server was Really?? Wife's food was ok.. hers came out awhile later. Been here a few times. Last time got pizza and the toppings were still cold.. server didnt check on us. Just disappointing each time.. they have potential though

    Soooo good!! amazing service, the food was EXCEPTIONAL and the ambiance is neat. Love how the pizza oven is in the middle and I love how the dough is imported from Italy. Definitely coming back again to try some of their other dishes. Everything on the menu looks phenomenal

    The place was really nice and food was amazing special shoutout to the black goat pizza especially though, the ginger may be soul-less but he sure put he put his heart and soul into the pizzas!!

    Last Friday's pizzas. No comparison to ones in past. Good but not expected spectacular.

    We love supporting our locals. We frequently dine here despite the wait for service every time. Two servers then got lady behind bar to help. Love the Black Goat pizza/my go to meal there. Each time it is a little different. This time it was good but lacking in flavor compared to past. Hubby had the supreme. He loved it.

    My boyfriend and I went here for the first time for a romantic date night and boy did the Bistro pull through . It was a little busy so we ended up sitting out front at a cute table while looking at the menu. On staff that night was one of the most tentative hostess's I have ever met. she offered for us to eat outside and then like an angel she brought us a lamp to set the romantic mood even more. I have never been to a restaurant that instantly had me saying "we are definitely coming back here" like this place did . If you were the hostess that night that sat two bikers out front I want to personally thank you for making our date night something out of a Disney movie. plus the food was phenomenal. I usually have food to bring home but not from our date night at the Bistro.

    Loved our lunch here. The atmosphere is delightful. The service was attentive, the food was delicious, and the prices are great! What more could you want? :) I had the stuffed avocado- one whole perfect avocado filled with housemade chicken salad - yum! My mom ordered the chicken salad on a toasted croissant. The portions were plentiful, and hers came with soup too. We would be happy to return here.

    This is an adorable restaurant that's a tad on the small side, but please don't take that as a…read moredownside. The service was excellent and the food was fantastic. We ordered the fried green tomatoes. I only wish they were sliced just a tad thinner, but they were tasty nonetheless. My friend got the pork and she had enough for 2 meals. I got the grouper and it was a smaller portion but a perfect size and very good as well. The standout as the Reese's cookie. It was big and crispy on the edges and nice and soft everywhere else. We shared this and the price was great at $4. In a world filled with crumbl at $5+, this cookie blew them away. I really enjoyed this meal.

    First off I just know this place as the green door. Not the green door on eighth this is the one…read moreacross from the courthouse. Found the food to be very good. Well worth a visit had the fried green tomatoes for an appetizer and we had the chicken and the salmon dinners with asparagus and roasted potatoes. It was very good. The service was outstanding. My drink was never empty and the waitress was very friendly and helpful. I like the old time feeling of being in old Brooksville which this place gives off. It's a place that would return to and if you haven't gone there at least try it one time. However. I would tell you make a reservation, but also get there early because parking is at times hard to find. I lucked out had a parallel parked right next to the front door, first time, my parallel parked in 40 years and I stuck at the first time very proud of myself. Here's some pictures of our dinners.
