Steaks and rack of lamb were cooked appropriately and seasoned well. Stuffed Branzino (a special) and black grouper were fresh and tasty. Desserts did not disappoint. Delicious! We'll be back!”

“This spot holds a special place in my heart! The Dearborn Coffeehouse has the best vibe and atmosphere in town. It's my favorite coffee house on this coast. 💕🏴‍☠️✨ As a local charity founder, I have to emphasize how much I appreciate their commitment to the community. It's businesses like The Dearborn Coffeehouse that support local charity work and help keep our community sound. For coffee, you can't beat their Café Cubano—the best in Englewood! And seriously, treat yourself to their delicious fresh cinnamon rolls and incredible seasonal pastries. A perfect local retreat! 💙”

We love to go on Monday night when George and Drea are bartending and Audio Orchid is playing. The food is great. The drinks are great. We have never left Pop's and said "wish we went somewhere else".”
