My family and I visited here last week during our family vacation. All our meals were so bad that we did not finish them and left. I ordered the Swordfish and got extremely sick, ruining a whole day of vacation. What a waste of money....WE WILL NEVER RETURN.More

Horrible in every way, Not clean, tables not cleaned or waited, rude help, oysters horrible and NOT fresh, presentation of food served disgusting, Our entrees took so long we canceled and left after just having two horrible appetizers. Don't even try it.

We reserved at 8pm but we didn’t get any food until 9pm. My daughter ordered lobster roll and I ordered shrimp and fish. The shrimp was good but the lobster and fish don’t taste that fresh. We were a bit disappointed.

Something has changed here and it’s not the place it used to be. Goat cheese appetizer was a chunk of warm cheese with a side salad that was glistening with oil. My swordfish was bland and the risotto tasted like RiceARoni out of a box....And the apple crisp was mushy. Staff was not attentive and the place seemed sad. Like it had seen better days.More

Didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. Not crowded when we got there, but very crowded when we left. Ordered 2 glasses of Chardonnay after a quick sample. Had a Wedge salad...really needed more bacon, couldn't find the egg and needed more...more Ranch dressing. Noticed that our server was pouring a different, smaller, wine glass? We asked the other server for a glass of Cab Sav, which came out with a far more adequate pour. The large filet was cooked to perfection! Server knew we were sharing, so we expected more than 3 asparagus spears and maybe a tad more mashed potatoes! All in all, a good experience. No liqour!More

We had a party of 20 people and gave a deposit per person and they sat us in the section with no air conditioning. They knew the air conditioning wasn't working before we arrived and should have told us. But I guess that means losing...a party of 20 for dinner... big bucks! It's very uncomfortable to have sweat dripping down your face when your eating. As for the food, it was good. My advice is to ask if the air conditioning is working before you make a reservation and give a deposit.More

The food here is absolutely outstanding! We come here each time we celebrate an event. The wedge salad, mussels (OMG) and shrimp and grouper Sautee are out if this world! We leave there absolutely stuffed and happy. Chef Oliver is a genius!

This was by far our best meal we had while visiting St. Pete. The filet was one of the most delicious I have ever eaten and the oysters Rockefeller were to die for. The key lime pie was also amazing! 10/10 would recommend

We went by the restaurant last night to see about making a reservation. There was a large orange sigh on the door stating the facility was closed due to public health concerns.

Reading the reviews I am disappointed we did not get to try this place. We were staying next door and looking for a place for dinner last Friday night. Unfortunately, we walked over only to discover the elevator was out of order and we had...a disabled person with us. We tried to call to get take out but no one answered the phone and the website stated no carry out after 5:30pm. Not sure how that works. We will be back down and judging by the positive reviews, we will try it out.More

We traveled to the Bellwether hotel which is right next door to this restaurant. We did not have a reservation and had a party of 6. The greeter was amazing and said she would do what she could to get us in. And she did....So friendly and personable. We sat outside by the fire until our table was ready which was also outside and we enjoyed the atmosphere. The food was fantastic from the steak, grouper risotto, lobster and fish. Everyone in our party was very happy with the food. The drinks were also very good. Although, I ordered a $9/glass of Prosecco but they were out. The waitress asked if I would prefer a different option. I said that was fine not knowing it was $22/glass. But, not a big deal; it's vacation. Overall we were really impressed and I would eat there again and again!More

The atmosphere, food, and service were amazing!! Natalie the hostess was so wonderful to squeeze us in with a reservation on short notice, and sweetest personality and smile. You feel like you’ve stepped back in time with the atmosphere and music. The food, oh my...goodness, absolutely delicious, and our server Robbie was fantastic, fun, friendly, and knowledgeable of all dishes!! Great place, can’t wait to go bank in our next visit!!More

While visiting the area, our local friends wanted to take us here as one of their favorite restaurants. It is a beautiful vintage type of place with excellent food. Only problem is that there were three "overserved" people in the booth right behind us, and...they were so loud, profane and obnoxious, that I had to hold my husband's hand to prevent him from getting up and saying something to them. Management should have spoken to them, as we were not the only table annoyed by their actions. Fortunately, they stumbled out as our meals were served, and we could enjoy the rest of the night.More
