This was fantastic.We were a big group and the staff was super professional and accommodating. We had people join our party at the last minute and they did everything so we could all sit together.Then when it was time to order they had 2 waitresses take care of our table so it was super efficient and quick. And then the food came it was just delicious. Definitely one of our new top picks for new Smyrna beach! Is 5 star staff in 5 star food!
We have eaten here several times and the food and drinks are always on point! The entrees are good size and the desserts are great!
A nice sitting with relaxing decor. Good wine list, not great. Wide varied and impressive menu. Three of the four in our party enjoyed their lunch. However my ribs were delivered stone cold. They seemed to be tasty but the table delivery from the kitchen sure missed the mark. Waiter was good in all other aspects. Prices were on the higher side of average for comparable fare. Dessert was good, but a very small portion. Drinks and bread were excellent.
We first visited this spot many years ago when it first opened. One calling card was that it was the vision of the then mayor of New Smyrna Beach. We were not impressed at that time with an attempt to provide an upscaled California styled venue to our beachside community. My view has not changed. I received a gift card from a long time friend and decided to give it another try. I arrived at 5:15 with a reservation. The small parking lot was filled. I drove around a couple of times and found a spot recently vacated. I approached the hostess stand manned by a couple of what appeared to be high school age girls. One found my reservation and led me to the requested outside table overlooking the parking lot. My young prompt server, Raven, came by and asked what I would like to start with. I replied a "screwdriver". About two minutes later he returned with a gentleman with a screwdriver assuming there was some adjustment that needed to be made with the table. I explained the components of the beverage requested. An excellent Tito screwdriver returned. I had decided on a portion of the Lobster Bisque and an Alexander Flatbread, Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, extra virgin olive oil. Both dishes were excellent in thought, but not execution. Both were of moderate temperature barely warm. Maybe the use of heated plates would have helped. Total bill came in at $24.00 before tip. I still had $26.00 left on the gift card so I went back five days later for another try. This time I approached the hostess stand to find three "teenagers" having a gab fest looking at some computer screen. It took 35 seconds for somebody to recognize my singular presence. Finally I was led to my outside table which was a hi-top. Not my preference, but the place was packed already with the early bird crowd. (Note: the parking lot was completely full this time so I had to park at the next door real estate office hoping not to be towed.) My server this time was Shey who appeared to be handling the whole alfresco scene. She was efficient. I got a real screwdriver the first time. I went with the bisque again making sure I told her about my first experience. This time it came out at an acceptable temperature. For my second course I went with the Korean BBQ Ribs - Sesame seeds, green onions, Asian Street Fries. Not hot, dried out with what I would call French fries, but then again I am not sure what Asian Street Fries should have looked like. I used up the remainder of my gift card and will not come back. I do have a suggestion for those of you that have made it this far on this review. Try the Baker's Table, a few blocks south of this spot on South Atlantic Ave. Currently number 2 on TripAdvisor and worth every penny.
Easy to find, located right on A1A, jusr across the street from the New Smyrna beach. We got there shortly before opening (4:30PM), and there was already a short line of patrons awaiting entry. My wife and I went here for our anniversary dinner. My wife ordered Sashimi Tuna, and there were several pieces she could not finish that she brought home. I had the Shrimp and Scallops Carbonara...the cheese sauce was excellent...and although I am a big eater the portion was ample. Service was top rate, friendly and non-obtrusive. However, "I" thought the bill was little pricey. The two meals with one glass of wine cost $62 plus tip.
One of our Favorites! Everything is always pure excellence~ They have a feature which varies week to week. We love to try these as they are always fantastic! Be sure to try the Scallops and the Rib appetizer is one of my husbands favorites. Best Bar drinks in town as well~ ; )
We used the upper level for a Wedding rehearsal. The table settings were nicely arranged. The staff was very attentive. Everyone enjoyed the tasty appetizers followed up with a delicious meal. I would highly recommend them as a event location or just to get out for dinner. Our evening was capped off with several amazing treats.
Even though at the time we had booked and came in at 6.55pm the restaurant had three tables empty at the side … (and I asked why we could t get one of those tables) we were put next to to their storage of boxes of wines! It felt like being put away. Bad place! Not acceptable at all. They should have their wines putt somewhere else. One of the employees had to look for wines half way our dinner and took one after another box out to look for the right wine. It felt we were “stored away”. First time experience and not a satisfactory one!How do the owner react on this review? I would like to ga e a decent answer. Wine, food, service was good!
Service was excellent, drinks were delicious and the food was to die for. They had a special mahi dish with polenta risotto, wife had the tomato caprese salad with salmon. They have a maple bourbon drink called Tusk and if I wasn't DD I could have drank at least 5 of them.
Excellent waiter, Thomas... he's awesome. Food and drinks are always worth coming back for.
