I had the linguine with vodka sauce and added blackened chicken. The chicken was extremely dry and I was unable to finish it. The serving size of pasta I also found to be small especially for quite a high price point. The price point of the entire menu I think is also much too high for what you are getting. The edamame gyoza were only 4 in one dish and we also shared the hummus board which was very small for an expensive price. I think they should definitely be re-evaluating how their menu is priced for their portions and the meals themselves.

He was attentive, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great night. Our table went all in on the menu and everything was fantastic. We enjoyed cocktails like mojitos, caipiroskas, and a Machu Picchu that absolutely hit the spot. For food, we loved dishes like the Vicenza and Madrid pasta, the Piamonte and Marseille entrées, plus the Hawaii and Salvador plates, and even the fettuccine with cheese sauce and broccoli was excellent. Every single plate came out beautifully and tasted great. The atmosphere is relaxed, the food is impressive, and Brian truly elevated the experience with his service. We will definitely be back and it is largely because of him.

Both come with a generous serving of crispy fries and a cup of ketchup.

As we wandered about looking for someplace for dinner (the place we had intended for the evening was maxed out with one large party, so needed to look elsewhere) realized we just happened upon a place we had driven by a couple of times called "The Doctors Office". They had a beautiful garden area outside where people were dining, but it was a pretty warm night, so decided to check out the inside - where we found a really cool space and were greeted by the host asking: "Do you have an appointment?" (Get it? Doctors office...reservations...appointment!? Too cute a play on the doctor's office thing! : ) Well, we did NOT have said appointment (and the main dining area was quite full!) but thankfully there was one table remaining in the back lounge area, which was through a hidden door made to look like a bookshelf! This area also had its own cool vibe. Waiter (Matt) immediately placed two little medicine cups in front of us - to sample their cherry rum punch. Delish. I ordered a cocktail (cannot recall the name but along the lines of a manhattan) while my DH stayed with red wine (boooooo-ring! ; ) We shared the smoked salmon appetizer (super yummo!) Then on to dinner. OK, we're talking seafood country here! But, over the course of the several days we've been here, I ordered seafood every single time. I adore seafood but was ready for something else. So, was being realistic when I ordered something on the beef realm. Got the short rib dish and it did not disappoint. It was excellent. Maybe not the "easily shredded with a fork" ones I have had elsewhere, but certainly super tasty and not at all tough or fatty. DH got the shrimp-lobster tacos and said they were incredible! No leftovers coming home with this guy! Our waiter, Matt, was new to this establishment (but not waitering) and was attentive and personable - above and beyond. Would highly recommend. No, you're not going to get any water views (this place is sort of hidden away in an obscure spot behind a plaza) but well worth the visit!

She rudely told us it would be fine and that we could just move to another table if we started getting rained on--which made zero sense since we'd still be outside. I figured everyone has a bad day, so we let it go. Unfortunately, the entrees were disappointing. The portions were way too small, the food wasn't nearly good enough for the price point, and the fish was severely overcooked. I probably wouldn't come back here for dinner, but if you're just looking for a good spot to grab drinks, it's worth a try.

We had passed RJ Gators earlier so I decided to call to see if they had outdoor seating. I spoke to "Bee" and she immediately made us feel like we needed to eat there. Upon our arrival we were greeted by "Bee" and she was as pleasant in person as she was on the phone. We were sat and ordered recommendations suggested by her. I ordered the Bonita Bay Combo fried and my wife had the Stuff Grouper. I must say that we were really impressed by our meals, the service especially and the atmosphere of our visit here. And "Bee" made everything much better. We will gladly return here and try something else on the menu. I'm glad we decided to come here
