“This restaurant is tucked away on a side street and looks like someone's home. The food is amazing and the atmosphere is homey. Our party had the duck, waygu beef, lamb bolognese and vegetarian entree with scallops. All were so good. Also do yourself a favor and order the Brussel sprouts appetizer. Service was friendly, professional and efficient. You won't be disappointed.“

“We hosted our daughter’s birthday party here and the staff did an amazing job making sure all had a great time bowling. Special callout to Patrick who went above and beyond with our large group. Don’t miss this spot whether you’re visiting or your local….good times all around!“
“Ate here twice during my stay. The first dish was the tuna bowl. It had good flavor but could have used a little more dressing. BUT they had some sort of chip or breading in the dish but it was extremely hard (or stale). It hurt my teeth everytime i bit into them.Second day i had the street tacos. The fish of the day was mahi and it was delicious. The shirmp taco was kinda boring and the chicken was enjoyable but not super great.Friendly staff with great service! Flore was our server!!! Give her a raise! ;)“
“Grab and go breakfast is very convenient, chia seed pudding was very good and fresh. Blueberry muffin was good but only had a few blueberries, one blueberry had a stem attached. The breakfast grab and go was very busy around 9am. The manager came to help out since they were so busy, which was nice.“
“Dining outside with my family while the sun set with live music out on their patio felt more like a short vacation than dinner. Staff were very attentive and the dinner was savory and dessert was tasted like it shouldn’t have been shared.Kid-friendliness: We all danced to the live music along with another family and their toddlers. Bathrooms were clean and spacious enough to bring three kiddos at a time to wash hands.“
“My friend and I were in town to visit the beach and wanted to hang out a bit. The DJ was playing a pop & hip hop mix. Cool vibe. Plenty of pool tables & long bar. We ordered Kettle 1 vodka's with cranberry. The bartender was nice & quickly made our drinks. We decided to sit outside to talk (because it was a bit quieter, and they had fire pits with seating on their patio). This is one of the only places that was open a little later in the evening, in the area. If we're ever in town again, I'd swing through“
“We finally tried out Mermaid Bar in the Florida Inn and it's such a great little chill spot to get excellent drinks! Significant other thought the old fashioned was really good and I loved the savage cocktail, it was excellent! Bartender knew what he was doing and was very nice! We will definitely make this a regular spot for great drinks!“
“The food was absolutely extraordinary. All of the appetizers, particularly the aged ham, sourdough mushroom toast, and tapenade spread. The grouper main course was amazing, outdone only by the fresh homemade pasta with duck ragout. The service was likewise very dedicated—they sat our large group promptly even when we showed an hour early, and the servers checked in regularly to make certain we had everything. My one critique is the ambiance—the decor looks like something out of a middle-rate generic hotel lobby, and when we arrived the gate allowing cars to approach was closed, requiring us to walk through the rain. But for all that, the food frankly blew everyone away. Highly recommend!!!“
“The waiter (I'm sorry, I don't remember his name) was one of those genuinely kind people, he really seemed to enjoy talking with everyone in the diner. He was a pleasure to speak with and listen to. He also explained the menu quickly and thoroughly. Food was amazing and came out very quickly.“
