Nice place, chill vibe.. Waiting time was at least 15 min to sit, 10 min for drinks, and 30 min for food. Great menu and options, fresh local food (drink pretty small) The service was fine, serving without too much effort. Overall seems likedesigned to sell food, good food, but less of a restaurant experience.

I liked it and would return regularly if I were a local! The hibiscus ginger mimosa is really good (I should try more ginger+wine drinks at home), and the Old Florida Sampler was a great tour of the foods of the state; I found it refreshing thatthe menu doesn't automatically assume that meat must be the center of every meal. And while I usually find claims of local /organic kind of empty, Civilization is explicit about exactly how much they spend in the local community, which I appreciate.
