    Deconstructed deviled eggs.
    Kelly S.

    Dinner last night was amazing. Great drinks, food and service. We had the deconstructed deviled eggs, filet and the lamb. The feta grits are a must try!

    Our Favorite Safety Harbor Restaurant! Food and Service is always amazing! Went for brunch for Mothers day and sat outside, it was a lovely experience!

    We've lived in SH 5 1/2 years and never ate here. We stopped by on a third Friday in March. They were booked and they took reservations. Somebody in line said they drove up from Sarasota to eat here so we soon realize this was a place to try. We tried it tonight and found a buried treasure. The food was amazing, our server was great. The way the place is set up, in an old house is very cozy and cool. It's not your typical restaurant where it feels like you're eating in a warehouse. This is a new (to use) safety harbor gem we will return to. Probably for a weekend brunch! Please take the time to view the bathroom pics. You can tell everything about a restaurant by its bathroom.

    Service was not the best. It started off with the host. The host didn't even smile and she looked extremely lost. We told her we had a reservation and she just was looking like we asked her to solve an extremely difficult math problem. No "welcome in" or anything. What really threw me off was the server. Her name was Abigail. Me and my friend asked her a couple times what was good on the menu and all she did was walk away. Yes, WALKED AWAY. Every single time we ask her a question all she responded with was "okay thank you" and walked away. It was like speaking to a wall. The only saving grace of this place is that they have good food and their drinks are pretty strong.

    Great experience! Waiter was very friendly and did a great job! The espresso martini was great. The crab eggs Benedict was phenomenal! Cooked perfectly and great flavor. The food here is super good. The only thing I would like to see would be a breakfast menu for kids as the kids menu is more lunch/dinner based. Other than that this place is super cute, love the outdoor seating options too.

    Stopped in for breakfast and had such a wonderful experience. Our server was incredibly kind, and everything flowed seamlessly from being seated right away to receiving our food and drinks without any wait. The atmosphere inside was cozy and charming, making it the perfect spot to start the day. The food was excellent. The breakfast tacos were flavorful, but the shrimp and grits truly stole the show, easily some of the best I've ever had. Free street parking was available all around and easy to find, even on the weekend, which made the visit even more convenient. I'll definitely be coming back!

    I've been wanting to try out this place for well over a year, and I finally made the trip down to the kitchen. I'm almost upset I waited so long to try this place out because everything was wonderful from the food to the service. My husband had the lamb and it was so tender that it came easily off the bone. I had the red fish which was equally delicious. We finished off the evening with a decadent s'mores bread pudding. My only critique was that the orzo with the fish could have used a tad more seasoning. But overall, I look forward to coming back.

    This is my favorite restaurant in the Harbor. Forget Bar Fly or Water Oak and come HERE! The food is always incredible, Alex and Scott are amazing staff, and the ambiance is super cozy and casual as it's a converted old home. LOVE it here

The location is a block back from Main Street and it's a cool little spot. We have had the same waiter as we did when this was coastal cantina and when we ate at southern fresh. Same owner I believe. He is the only waiter I remember having more than twice on Main Street which is really cool. I give props to the owners for this. The food is really good. The location is great. I gave it 4 stars out of 5 because they really need to add a few items. Like pulled chicken, Mac and cheese and Cole slaw. Also 4 potato wedges as a side is kinda ridiculous. Aside from that, all good. It's nice to have smoked meat back in the harbor.
