The menu features some unique dishes. I tried the special ribeye filet, but found the meat to be quite bland. The sauce it was served in tasted like A1 Ketchup, which was just okay. However, we ordered an eggplant and pepper appetizer that was absolutely delicious and truly enhanced my dining experience. The staff was friendly and worked together seamlessly. On the downside, it was quite noisy, making it difficult to have a conversation. Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures.

We recently held a celebration for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary at this restaurant, and it was truly fantastic! The venue was gorgeous, the food was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond. I highly recommend this place for both events and dining experiences. Every guest couldn't stop praising the food, with standout dishes including the French onion purses, Caesar salad (especially the croutons!), Walter's potatoes, and the steak. And let's not forget the desserts, which were incredible as well!

This restaurant continues to outshine all others in the area. During my latest visit, I tried the eggplant parmigiana, and I can't begin to describe how amazing it was—just WOW! I typically don’t order eggplant parmigiana because it’s often too watery, but the bartender (we sat at the bar) insisted it was excellent, and he was absolutely right. Thank you so much for the recommendation, Ian, and I hope I spelled your name correctly. Without a doubt, I highly recommend the eggplant parmigiana. In fact, I haven’t had a single dish from the menu that hasn’t impressed me.

Favorite new place to visit in St. Joe's when you want something special. Reservations recommended.

Let me start by saying the others at our table thought the food was good. For our starters,they all got brought out at weird times. My wife got hers quickly. So quick that the rest of us who had soup and or salad got to watch her eat her entire starter before ours came. I received my soup and salad at the same time. The french onion soup has a partial tomato base which takes away the rich onion taste. It was bland and easily the worst french onion soup I have ever had. Our drinks with dinner were the same. Some brought with garnish, some without. The waitress didn 't care. For dinner....I don 't like risotto or anything chimichurri. So that takes away half the menu. I wanted the filet special but they were out by 630. The only other beef was coffee rubbed flank steak with, you guessed it, chimichurri. If I wanted my steak to taste bitter (coffee rub) just burn it. Chimichurri was exciting in 2017. For my dinner I went with the siracha chicken with noodles. Who knew the noodles were served cold? I missed that on the menu. But really this dish is a homage to college leftovers. Think reheated buffalo wings with cold ramen and you can imagine how this dish tasted. The others who did order the flank steak weren 't given steak knives. While tender, a butter knife just mashes around a tender flank steak. It 's so loud in the restaurant that the server can 't hear orders and messed up the second round of drinks. We were offered dessert but they only had three boring selections left. After the check came our waitress gave the usual enjoy the rest of your evening but it was disingenuous as she was already turning away halfway through saying goodbye. Highly overrated and not worth a second trip.
