German CastroDecember 18, 2017Great cocktails, ambiance, and in beautiful downtown Sarasota! They have a great selections of whiskeys. Haven’t tried the food but looks tasty. One of my favorite places for a drink.
Recommend for a quite lunch meeting or romantic place to eat. Good $ value. Food is good, menu isn't winding. Staff and service were also good. Atmosphere is quant with a private dining available.
Jennifer AllgaierNovember 13, 2013Mojitos were some of the best I have had in SRQ. Usually they are to sweet and not tart enough but these were a perfect combination. Every dish was seasoned and cooked to perfection!
We're new to Sarasota but this place has the best lunch that we've found yet! Outstanding.
Shawn ChaneyMarch 21, 2015Try the lounge. Fantastic classic drinks. Made perfectly- great "speakeasy" atmosphere- highly recommend!
- Annie AlfstadAugust 22, 2014Tuna melt open face is addictive. Great for date night or business lunch- also fantastic bar options!
Eleanor DehittaNovember 21, 2013Cotton towels are cute, but they will leave lint on your clothes. Ask your server for a lint brush. :)
- Erin HevernOctober 20, 2012Sit at the bar! It's a trip watching the staff out together their awesome array of cocktails. The bramble is their most popular.
GymAugust 10, 2014Fried Anchovies with Aioli dipping sauce....MMM. Roast chicken for two is better at Costco, but good drinks.
RebeccaMarch 10, 2012Loved the asparagus & duck egg salad! There were a few hiccups, but staff responded quickly with fixes and comps. Will be back!
Great bread, delicious clam chowder, really good French fries and very attentive service.
Great selection of Gins and some pretty great craft bourbons and ryes
The tuna "snack" is delicious, and is served w/ amazing caper berries!
Kara PoulinMarch 1, 2012Mojitos are great, get the goat cheese app. & the lobster Mac & Ch if you love cheese!
Have a party of 8-14? Reserve the private room…you can even plan your own special menu.- Shaun NoriegaMarch 19, 2023Terrible place. A lot of people told me this place had BAD management, BAD atmosphere and BAD bartenders and it’s true it was awful. The drinks are terrible. The food is gross and it is all over price
