    This is our 3rd time there … love the atmosphere and service is always great. Food this time was average … they have an extensive menu … which is nice bc it appeals to so many. But I think it’s best to stick to the basics. If we go again we will only get basic items (Jambalaya was bad… weird smoky flavor and grouper al limone was just ok)

    We were taken to our table in a timely manner but had to finally ask a waiter if we could get served. Waitress was painfully slow, food was slow and really hit or miss. My Thai steak was very good but rice and veggies were flavorless. Scallops were also good with tasteless side dishes. Steaks were done a little over in both cases. But, beautiful setting, the comp valet service was great and maybe we went on an off night.

    Excellent meal, service and dining experience as usual! We always bring out of town guests here to eat. Really good selection of menu choices, especially appetizers. Easy to find something that appeals to everyone and enough choices not to get bored when dining there frequently. This is the sister restaurant of the Grove located in Lakewood Ranch which is also a good choice anytime.

    Our outside table was really nice overlooking the river. Our server Zack was great. He made an excellent recommendation for my red wine and he was very friendly and attentive. The food was great and the ambiance was excellent. The valet service is a welcomed bonus. I just wished they would have had some propane heaters outside on the patio as it got cool once the sun was setting.

    We arrived for outdoor dining for a birthday celebration and despite having reservations, our table was way off to the side and not even near the main area. It was cold and windy and we couldn’t sit there. There was no other table available so we tried to get a table at the patio and that was a half hour wait so we went to the bar. Shortly after we settled at the bar, they offered us a table in the room with the aquarium which was fine. My complaint is that option should have been offered immediately instead of us (party of 6) heading to the patio, then the bar with no assistance trying to salvage our evening. Our waitress was fabulous and everyone enjoyed their food but it was a rocky start and a little disappointing.
