    A perfect respite for those visiting family and friends at UF Health Shands Hospital. Great staff, delicious food, and a good local microbrewery beer.

    Do yourself a favor and splurge for a craft cocktail and homemade ice cream

    Lemonade was legit, ice tea was ok, calamari was interesting, braized lamb was the best! (I have every had). Pork chops were ok. Overall I would say good food but definitely over priced!
