Restaurants near Saint Thomas Aquinas

Really happy to have found this place. The four of us got seated right on our reservation time which is always a good thing. Cocktails were very reasonably priced. $12 for a great old fashioned and $13 for specialty drinks. We had the Don Draper (classic OF), and the Walking with Spiders and some cool wines we liked. Also reasonable. Appetizers were the newly added frito miso with large prawns and the "corn ribs". Really great presentations. Half of us opted for the bucket of chicken which is presented nicely with lots of fun add-ons and also had the prime Smash burger and the fresh salmon. Again no sticker shock on the prices. Get the chocolate mousse after. They also offer boozy milkshakes. The ambiance is a small restaurant and bar vibe with great service. When they want a vibe change they turn on their vinyl stereo system. They are obviously into curating the experience. Well done.

All excellent but I have to say that $45 for a small piece of elegantly presented halibut felt very expensive.

Love this restaurant. Bartender was helpful and knowledgeable when I was trying to choose a special drink. The menu is clearly marked for gluten free items which makes ordering my meal easy to choose and comforting to know that I won’t be sick afterwards. The staff is friendly and pleasant. 💙

Went to celebrate a birthday. Everything had a good time and the food was great. Not expensive.

My wife and I had a lovely evening dining at South Bay for the first time. The food and drinks were outstanding, and the place has a fun vibe; upscale enough for a special occasion (there was a birthday, a first date, and parents visiting their college student around us) but relaxed enough for a spontaneous night out like ours was. We will definitely be back, with friends!
