    As always, a wonderful dining experience. Our waitress, i think her name may have been Avely, was amazing. We were impressed with how quickly this restaurant recovered after the recent hurricanes. We loved the mojitos made tableside, and as always, their salad was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for both the food and amazing service!!

    The restaurant is in a old house on Long Boat Key. There is a big parking lot in the rear. The restaurant is much bigger than it looks. Enjoyed an elegant dinner with my wife. We had excellent drinks, martinis and old fashion. The fried green tomatoes were very good with a slight spicy taste. We enjoyed out Waldorf salad before dinner. I had the house speciality, the duck. It was really good, probably one of the best I've had before and I love duck. My wife greatly enjoyed her veal. We were so full we skipped the desert experience on the second floor. We have heard it is like the experience at Burns in Tampa but will need to experience on our next visit.
