"BEAUTUFUL place. Love the cherry wood furniture and color scheme. Very Italian decor with blues Brothers and gangstas. Would be nice with soft Italian or classic music in background. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Had a drink at bar after they suggested as we were early for our reservation. The place was half filled and we noticed only one server for the room so maybe that's why we couldn't be seated early. The bar area wasn't busy so it was very nice.. The drinks delicious! The mojito was crisp with such nice flavors. My husband ordered the French Connection which contained Grey goose, lemonade and elderflower liquor. It was also prepared well. I had the French onion soup and my husband the pot stickers for apps. Both were tasty. They also serve a bean sauce with bread that was different but flavorsome. I ordered the chicken Cordon Bleu dinner and subbed the mashed potatoes for sweet potato fries. There was a $4 substitution. My husband ordered the filet and subbed his mash potatoes with risotto... that was a $12 substitution. The steamed broccoli and carrot were eh..... it was probably the only thing I didn't eat. The dinners were really good otherwise. We ordered a chocolate mouse type dessert with caramel that was average. This was one of the more expensive restaraunts we've been to. Two drinks each, two apps, 2 dinners and a dessert over $200. The food was good and the place was really nice. Our server Jennifer was attentive and you could tell very experienced..... We may go back for a special occasion in the future but not just for a date night ...."

"My wife and I wanted a nice laid-back place to sit outside and enjoy a fun dinner. We ended up being very disappointed by the service. Our server took about 10-15 minutes to get to the table (which feels like an eternity when you are waiting to order beverages). They took our drink order and quickly returned with a cocktail and waters but the beer we ordered was delayed by a few minutes. Not a big deal, but then the night went south. We didn't see our server again for a very long time. We started to feel like our appetizer was a little delayed when food runners showed up with our entrees. No app in sight. We let them know and eventually the server brought our app. But we were halfway into the meal by that point. The food tasted fine. Nothing extraordinary but not bad. The nachos, I admit, were delicious. The mac and cheese we ordered was described to have bread crumbs but was missing that. Fortunately the server had it taken care of pretty quickly. We were never asked about having our drinks refilled. And after eating, we waited a long time for our check. It just seemed to take forever for everything. None of the problems by themselves would have been a big deal, but together it added up to a somewhat unpleasant experience. The server was nice and apologetic. They also comped us the appetizer which was nice. May have been an off night or maybe a new server, but I can't say I would recommend going on a Saturday night. Also, we did enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was a little tight, but the ambiance was nice."

"absolutely terrible customer service. Last night we ate at motors and the waitress has greeted us with a long story about how they and the server are in a feud with one of the food trucks and were strongly urged not to buy from them. then they took my license in exchange for bags for Baggo/Eckhole. When I picked up my license from the bartender, he said he lost it and didn't know what to say. After hanging around long enough, he thought they had given it to another customer. I gave him my number and he never called. I called and emailed every single gang and was finally told that they would look at it the following day. I have missed a working day to get a new license at the tax collector, and all that they offer was a 30$ gift card and a beer. the license costs 25$ and the days work cost me much more than that. if they screw up my meal in any other restaurant, I would probably be offered the same compensation. they gave my personal information away to a stranger and their answer was “I don’t know what to tell them” and 13 phone calls later in the round. “here is a burgerfries and a beer.” oh and while we had to eat from our polystyrene boxes in the restaurant we had to keep them closed between every bit to help was flying from the overwhelming amount of. that is not so much the restaurants I think, but it kills the mood, even if their license is not stolen and the staff does not involve them in their rotten. as always for the personal. my value as a customer who was here several times is less than the cost of a meal and a beer. If they had offered something appropriate, I would have refused and written a great criticism. character is what I wanted to see in such a big mistake. to give away personal information of customers who may lead to identity fraud is only worth the cost of a meal and a beer. the cost of a customer who loses a full day in this rough economy is just a meal and a beer worth. Even when I finally went back to get back my license days later, I was told I had just driven illegally without my license and Florida statistics breaking 322.15 when they review my reviews, I give the people many chances as I did by constantly trying to get help. most of my reviews are great Raving reviews. I'm not so upset. you worked hard for this 1 star."
