Came in for date night! We ordered: Pomerol- Fugue de Nenin, Seared Foie Gras, Chilled Beef, Grilled Octopus, Sea Bass, Prime NY Strip and we shared an Affogato. The wine speaks for itself- it was perfect. The Foie Gras was buttery, irony, fatty and delicious. It was cooked perfectly and is definitely something to try. The Chilled Beef had a great cook and it was very light. The Grilled Octopus had a great char and its sauces paired up nicely. Amazing to eat and not gummy at all. My Sea Bass was creamy, crispy and extremely flavorful. I personally am not a fan of pastries but it was cooked beautifully. The texture was great and it had a nice flakiness to it. My partner really enjoyed their NY Strip. It was cooked a nice med rare and paired nicely with its sauce. The Affogato was creamy, rich and a great end to dinner. The service was timely, accurate and excellent. This is a beautiful, cozy date spot.
Wonderful anniversary dinner! Food was delicious with great presentation. Martini's & Manhattan's were perfection. We decided to go with the Okra appetizer, Swordfish, & Waygu tenderloin & sticky toffee pudding for dessert.
Had an absolutely incredible time tonight. From start to finish, the care the team had was impeccable. We opted to do a tasting menu since everything looked too good to decide! Cesar the manager was present the entire night, explaining the wines and dishes on top of checking in with us. We never felt forgotten. Our server Theresa was also fantastic- personable and engaging while knowledgeable about the menu. We would absolutely request her again! If that doesn’t seem like a good enough review...Harold himself delivered some of the courses and wine to us, explaining in detail what we were about to eat. He was genuinely excited for us to try his pairings and the passion he has for this business was 100% clear. I am excited to continue supporting his craft. Needless to say - SWFL has so many options for dining but if you’re looking for an incredible meal that includes incredible service and feels 5 star without the pretentiousness do yourself a favor and give them a try. You won’t be disappointed.
Christine led us in a delightful experience, including the seared scallops, Wagyu tenderloin, and Strawberry Waterfall dessert (pictured). Everything we had, including a smoked Old Fashioned, was parfait. Thank you for a lovely Valentine’s.
Been awhile Since we have been Here.Update is Beautiful.Our Server Ruth Ann was excellent, extremely attentive and responded to all our needs. Rioja Wine was excellent, Crab cake was Flavorful. Roasted Cauliflower was yummy. Veal chop with Homemade Gnocchi in a blue Cheese sauce of was to Die for. The Pistachio Flan was the Finishing Touch. Harold the owner and Chef came over to our Table, that was Very sweet. Great way to spend a Anniversary Dinner. Thanks for making it so Special.
Always a great experience. I ordered a sea bass the other night that I have had several times since then. I can only explain it as a magical experience throughout my plate. When I realized I was eating the sea bass with a beautiful parsnip puree I suddenly experience the other side of the plate which was a completely different sauce. This sauce was a different flavor and different component which made the experience completely out of this world. After eating 50% of the sea bass and some of the beautifully created potato chips on top, I realized I had been missing out some of the most beautiful purple sauteed potatoes nestled behind the sea bass. I could probably write a novel on this plate. But I am not a writer. However you should definitely take my advice, I am an artist and food connoisseur soon just stop bye and experience what I had felt!
