I love every, single, thing about this place! The food was amazing! The kitchen bent over backwards to accommodate my food allergies and our server CJ was spectacular and so very kind and attentive. This is 200% our new go to place when we visit Pensacola. Elevated dining without all the pretentiousness that normally accompanies it. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the hand painted murals in the restroom were a pleasant surprise. I’m so looking forward to our next visit. I would give 10 stars if I had the ability. I would like to clarify while we spent over 100.00 per person, we are not average diners. We enjoy our cocktails when we are out and we order everything from appetizers to dessert. All of the drink and food prices are very affordable and perfect for date night! Because of the operating hours I would love to see a reservation service like Open Table available, however they quickly responded to the message we left.
Beautiful dinner and excellent service! We started with grilled, seasoned lamb lollipops served with risotto, then I had the blue cheese stuffed Filet which was expertly grilled! Also my Manhattan was amazing
This restaurant exceeded my expectations. Our waiter CJ, perfectly spaced out our tapas and was wonderful. We had a great experience and will definitely be back again very soon! If you love good tapas and desserts, this is the place to be!
This was our 1st time here! I have always walked by this place a million times, but never tried it assuming I would not like it. We had made reservations and was seated right away. There wasn't much options for vegetarians, but thankful that my friend was willing to be a vegetarian as well, so we tried different plates. Our favorite was the olives and cheese plate! The Brussel sprouts was not exactly what we expected. Our waiter was nice enough to take it off....if you like crispy sprouts then don't order this. Dessert was my favorite. Never would I have thought basil ice cream and chocolate cake would be good together. Make sure to make reservations because the place stays busy. If you are a vegetarian and super hungry, you might want to try a different place. I would highly recommend this place if you want something different, a great environment, something romantic and bougie....
Our first time here, and it was amazing! We ate at the bar, and Bo (Beau) was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu. I had calamari, and it was cooked perfectly. Not chewy or tough at all. Try the lamb lollipops! Best lamb chops I have ever eaten. We just had an all-around great evening. A tad pricey but so worth it for an amazing evening
Every single dish here was perfect! I loved the flavors, and the combinations were fantastic. Jen, our server, suggested Brussel sprouts, and they were mouth-watering good. I also ordered the pork medallions, and they were so juicy. My husband ordered the filet mignon.
We love sitting at the bar and enjoying their amazing tapas! The bartenders are always attentive and give great suggestions! We had the swordfish and the chili relleno tapas, both were superb! Everything we have ordered here has exceed our expectations! Definitely make a reservation if you want to sit at a table, they are super popular for good reason. We find the bar to have lively conversations and the people are always nice!
This place has mastered great service! I went here for my birthday celebration and I was not disappointed. It’s a great place for a special celebration. Our cost of our meals ranged from 50-100.00 per person. They gave you a pretty large portion and, and the meal was amazing. It was so worth it.
