I went to the Storm Distillery Thursday evening for their monthly line dance evening. I had such a…read morewonderful time! The ambiance reminds one of an old-time speak-easy, low key but extremely pleasant. The drinks were amazing! The owner makes his own wine and distills his own spirits! The food (which is prepared at the Pine Street Pub) was fantastic, and the line dancing was just plain fun!!! I had wine and an old-fashioned and both were just lovely. For dinner, I had a Waldorf salad and it was very fresh and wonderful. And then there was the line dancing! The instructor, who reviewed every line dance before we performed it, is exceptionally good. She played music beyond the 6 to 7 hour that was advertised for the line dancing. The people who participated were very welcoming and friendly. The whole evening was memorable. Had I not gone for the line dancing, I would not have known about this amazing distillery in downtown Inverness! We are so fortunate to have this wonderful place in Inverness to meet friends, drink, and enjoy good company! I'm so happy that I went!

We heard about the Flying Boat Tap Room from a neighbor who recommended it for their pizzas. Not…read morereally conveniently located from us, we decided to head out here after stopping by a nursery in the same general area. It was a late lunch so the place wasn't all that busy...perhaps a total of 5 diners including us. We sat down and waited a minute or so before a server came by with menus and to take our drink orders. My wife asked her if they served Coke Zero. They don't, so my wife just ordered water with a lemon wedge and I ordered the same. The menu is quite varied, especially for "bar food" with various pizza options. After carefully reading the menu, my wife ordered the White Pi (roasted garlic ricotta, mozzarella, feta, and rosemary/garlic butter drizzle) and I ordered Ol Betsy (house carne asada, avocado, crispy onions, white rice drizzled with chimichurri sauce). My wife's pizza was served before my dish and I had to wait a minute or two before mine was served. I think well managed kitchens should be able to get dishes out at the same time. My wife liked her pizza. She liked the wood-fired char around the edges and the appropriate chew of the crust. She also liked the garlicky flavor and the fresh feta. My dish was quite good! The carne asada was so tender and the crispy onions with the slightly vinegary chimichurri sauce was an inspired combo...adding the creamy avocado further elevated the dish. Lunch for two came out to just under $38 with tip. We'll be back!

I think they had 25 taps and the waitress was happy to bring us samples of a bunch before we made up our mind. We both ended up with a stout. We had a queso/sloppy Joe mixed dip as an app. While very tasty, it wasn't very hot (temp), which was a problem with much of the food. We had a pizza and fish tacos for mains. We also shared a cheesecake (or was it key lime) for desert. All were good, except for temp. The best part is with tax and tip dinner was only around $70.

Stopped by Norton's Riverside Bar & Grill in Crystal River for lunch, and unfortunately it just…read morewasn't a good experience. The service was the highlight of the visit--the bartenders were genuinely friendly, attentive, and made me feel welcome. That's the main reason I'm giving this place two stars. The food, however, was disappointing. I ordered my burger medium, but it arrived raw in the center. The onion rings were overly greasy with a heavy, unimpressive batter. After reading other reviews, I noticed someone else had a similar experience with the patty melt, so my meal may not have been an isolated issue. The atmosphere wasn't for me either. It feels much more like a neighborhood dive bar than a restaurant, with multiple TVs, loud music, constant chatter, and live entertainment outside all competing at once. If you're looking for a lively sports bar where you can watch a game, have a drink, and socialize, this may be exactly what you're after. I prefer a quieter, more relaxed dining experience, so it simply wasn't a good fit. The restaurant also has a dog-friendly patio, which many people enjoy, though it's not something I personally look for when dining out. Overall, I think Norton's has a loyal local following, and I can understand why some people enjoy the casual bar atmosphere. For me, though, the combination of the underwhelming food and the very loud environment means I won't be returning. The staff deserved better than the meal they were serving, because their friendliness and service were the best part of the visit.

But, and it is a pretty big But, this is less about the food and much much more about the beer and entertainment... So part of my party and myself arrived a little early for dinner next door.. We decided the best thing to do was grab a couple beers while the rest made their way here.. There was a band scheduled to start an hour and a half and seating was already near its limits. We managed to get a small table our first round of beers. This is a decent sized venue and it apparently fills up early and fast.. Now let's get back to the important stuff... When you enter from the front, the beer bar runs on the right-hand side... There are seats at the bar for 8 or ten at the most.. There is a small stage at the end and the rest of the room is open with tables and chairs set out in no particular arrangement. Oh yeah, the important stuff... The beers, with some 16 local craft beers on draft to choose from, their selection was very well thought out and tasty, if I do say so myself... A little something for everyone's taste... They even kept a stache of the "market" beers for those not willing to venture outside their norm... This watering hole is a welcomed addition to this out of the way area... Well worth the extra side trip to check out... I don't get out this way very often but this is now on my must stop list when in the area... Heck, might even come and check out the band next time... Cheers..

I normally prefer more unique local spots with a little more personality. That being said... the short rib entrée was actually pretty good. In fact, I was SO hungry that I completely forgot to take a photo before eating it, which for an avid Yelper like myself is practically unheard of. Somewhere halfway through the meal I suddenly realized... wait... I never even took the picture. The short rib was tender, flavorful and comforting, and I pretty much inhaled the entire thing without thinking twice. Service was super friendly, the atmosphere was completely dead overall... however the genuine smiles from my waitress gave me warm fuzzies and made me realize .. you know .,, there are genuinely nice people out there.

My husband and I chose to sit outside since it was such a beautiful, less humid day. Our server, Jermaine, was attentive, friendly, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were outstanding. The shrimp were plentiful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked just right. The combination of feta, onion, and light seasoning complemented the shrimp without overpowering the flavor. My husband ordered the Big League Meatball Sub, and it was a big hit! The meatballs were flavorful, smothered in marinara sauce, and topped with Parmesan and mozzarella cheeses. The toasted roll held together perfectly, making it easy to enjoy every bite. For our side, we chose the Sidewinder Fries. At first, we had to ask where our fries were because we didn't realize the curled potatoes in front of us were them--but wow, they were incredible! The Sidewinder Fries were the best, and we'll definitely be ordering them every time. We're already looking forward to coming back!
