Absolutely splendid dining experience! The menu was creative, the customer service was excellent! Our server was knowledgeable about each dish and checked on us frequently, but not to the point of being bothersome. The food was well prepared and very flavorful…each person in our party of 4 loved their dish. The ambiance was set by a Florida chic vibe…and the prime location at the base of the Pensacola pier. This place is a definite must try!

We picked this place for our anniversary dinner due to its prime location on the beach and their upscale menu. Our server Sara was perfectly attentive and helpful.

The lobster gnocchi was fabulous, the tortellini was great too. The kitchen/service were very fast, we were leaving in under an hour. The overall vibe is playful elegance with a beautiful view of the beach. We will definitely be back.

We picked this place because the menu looked so exquisite and delicious, and I’m glad we did, our dining experience was nothing short of fantastic. As soon as we walked in and waited to be seated we headed to the bar to get a drink, and I’m glad we did because the drinks that we got were absolutely delicious (blackberry bramble andthe Drift Drop are highly recommended) we could tell right then and there that this experience was going to be one of the better ones.

Service is very good and atmosphere is relaxed. Beautiful restaurant. The steak was rather disappointing and the swordfish was cooked great but wasn’t particularly impressive flavor wise. Accompanying sides were very good and the chocolate tulip dessert was amazing.

Fantastic food and great atmosphere! While a pricier option on Santa Rosa Island, it IS worth it and you will not be disappointed. Also our server Sara was great. We were never looking for anything, she was always there right when we needed her, and she had great suggestions. And we took a long time looking into the menu because there were SO many delicious sounding options, we never felt pressured. A perfect evening!

Want to like this place as it’s a nice atmosphere. The food is the main issue here. Ordered the lamb chop lollipops and watermelon salad to start. The lamb chops were decent but I ordered medium rare and they were medium well. The watermelon salad is okay, not worth the price at all. Wife got the special which was a half chicken as the server really sold how tender and good it was. Not enough seasoning and the chicken was overdone. I got the pork chops and asked for medium rare and it came out rare and there wasn’t enough seasoning on the actual pork chop and sauce. The mashed potatoes, collard greens, and whatever apple slice thing that came with it didn’t have enough flavor. It’s like they are immune to adding any seasoning. Especially for the price, food is a disappointment. Location, view, service are great but that’s about it. Not worth it and won’t be back.

Beautiful views, great options for this vegetarian and I love their wine menu, but I wish I had more options for by the glass. The menu is a bit similar to that of Jorge Bistro, but it’s about that environment and atmosphere that helps sets it apart.
