I've been in Florida for a week and have been trying many different restaurants, all seemed ok. But this one, this one just BLEW me away!! I honestly was shocked I usually never leave reviews but this restaurant deserves all the stars! We brought kids with us that were so hungry and they took care of them as if they were there own! I loved that about them! The food for the kids came out super fast and got them to calm down! And our food was just AMAZING! I loved everything about this place especially the service 10/10. Don't let the cover of the book fool you! Definitely recommend this to everyone!

Waiter was very accommodating! We ordered Crab Cake and both enjoyed it very much..in fact it was the best Crab Cake ever. Well worth the trip from Port Charlotte. 5* we will return!

I wanted just good old Fish, no sauces that other places use to cover up bad fish. Here I ordered Grouper, J*** seasoning, nothing short of Great. The Cheese Grits very goad and rich.

Always one of our favorites. Hard to beat the food, atmosphere and service. Only issue is it remains insanely expensive. Still- it is a frequent and regular stop of ya each week. Get the fried shrimp, hush puppies and gator bites.

This is one of the few restaurants in Sarasota it has been around for a reason!!! Don’t miss it out! They have an updated menu and the food is EXCELLENT!!! We had the new Salmon pasta with smoked Gouda cheese sauce and Shrimp Jambalaya... both were AMAZING!!!!Everyone is super friendly, welcoming and we are definitely coming back and try something new! Again!! We LOVE this authentic place in the heart of the beautiful downtown Sarasota!!

The downtown location is great. We come here every few months when in town. Today we had a new waiter. He heard we were “ regulars” . One of our usual waitresses told him what my usual, unique, picky order was!! Loved this! Thanks for another great meal

Bad seafood experience, not even sure the fish was really a ´catch of the days’ and not just been unfrozen.

Food was absolutely amazing like always. But then when. My 900$ phone was stolen off my table, the wait staff had a few stories. At first was told yes the cameras work . When I asked if they could check them I was told that the manager did not have access to them. So I asked for the police to be called. the wait staff tells the police another story that the cameras do not work. Like get your stories straight! What is interesting is their different accounts of what happened. Was not happy camper to be treated poorly there..The waiter didn't even care! And told many different versions! On top of all this is was my birthday dinner that ended at 8:30. I was there until 10 pm. After giving up to return next day, I get a phone call saying it was "found" Great food! Horrible Staff! Will not return to a place that Rob's people!
