    One of our favorite places to dine in Port Charlotte. The atmosphere and live music, plus a diverse menu, made it a really enjoyable evening.

    Celebrating my wife's birthday. The table was perfect for viewing the show and had a birthday balloon tied to one chair. Our server was friendly and very attending. The show was a performer known from our days at the Jersey Shore. The food was absolutely amazing. Next up is our anniversary and I know where we are dining. Thanks for a great experience.

    If you don’t have an enjoyable evening here, it is your own fault! Super staff, great food and pleasant atmosphere complete with talented musician singing a perfect playlist. We are 4 active seniors and the crowd did skew older, mixed with some younger. We enjoyed the OG vibe and noted a full house on the Friday night. Out table enjoyed the grouper piccata and filet, perfectly prepared. The beef and shrimp kabobs were delicious even though the beef was slightly overcooked. Our service was second to none with prompt responses and pleasant interactions. Thank you Grill at 1951 for a fun, scrumptious night!

    The Waiter Jerome was excellent. This was our first time at this restaurant. We liked the fact that they had table cloths, and the Music was a bonus. It was mellow, perfect for dining.

    We have bee6 to this club many times under the various names. The Martinis are excellent always however the service and food have gone downhill. I made a reserv6for two in celebration of a birthday. I asked for a specific place when I made the reservation but the hostess didn't seem to know that. She did allow us to sit where we wanted after we asked her. OK, no biggie. We waited quite a while for our server then even longer for our beverages: I have to point out that it wasn't busy at when we sat down. We had the ahi tuna appatizer, which was overcooked and came without ginger or Wasabi. There was a lack luster sauce on it. We ordered our dinners, snapper and a NY. W We specifically let the server know that there was a mango allergy and the server said it could be made with a lemon sauce instead. I ordered a rare NY strip. The fish came out with mango on it and my steak was medium well. We were there for my birthday in December, the risotto was undercooked and my steak was overcooked. For the money, this restaurant needs a better chef. We left and had dinner at Outback.

    The service and entertainment were excellent. The food was a major let down. 3 of us ordered the beef Wellington. They all came well done and no pate inside. I could forgive the pate situation, but when a steak house can’t cook a $50 medium or medium rare steak, that’s a problem. The chicken Alfredo was tasteless and dry instead of creamy. After reading great reviews, we were all so disappointed, especially at this price point.
