88 Keys - Punta Gorda

Softened. Food was overpriced and didn't taste the cost. I didn't eat my dinner and I didn't ask for anything else. Very disappointed with my experience.

Shown for Happy Hour at 5 pm and no one there (also staff lol). But briefly greeted and the experience went quite well. Fish Tacos were the best (flavorful) I had in a while and LOADED. Good price. Loaded dead and mini slider trio were in the Happy Hour menu and were also good.

Overall good, with great presentation, but some quirks are here. Garlic potatoes instead of rice with panang curry and seafood? No, thanks. The **** was good, but a little fat. Vegetables were delicious. Soaked chicken delicious and still moist. I thought it was weird that the waiter didn't eat food because he kept it too expensive.

A wonderful anniversary dinner. We sat right away at 7:00 and our server Elysia was great. The Missus had a caesar salad with grilled chicken and the beef tips small plate. She proclaimed the salad the best ever; the chicken was abundant and perfectly grilled. I had a Caesar salad and the Pork-Osso-Bucco. The pig was tenderly dropped off the bone and the accompanying red wine reduction was very delicious. We split a cream broil for desert fairy. It's a little pricy, but it's worth it. Very recommended.

Today?s Christmas Dinner was beyond and absolute and utter disappointment! Service was beyond horrible. Our server never checked on us, never refilled our water and took over 30 minutes to get our drinks from the bar (watched the server enter our drink order after we asked for it, again). Finally, after waiting for over an hour and 15 minutes for our meal?I order the Seafood Trio, which was supposed to be Lobster, Scallops and Shrimp with fingerling potatoes and Brussels sprouts cook witj pork belly and my husband ordered the Stuffed Snapper with the same sides. HOWEVER, that is NOT what we got. The server sat my plate down and said ?seafood trio?? and sat my husband?s plate down, she didn?t even repeat what he ordered because I don?t think she knew what it was. I had NO lobster and the shrimp and scallops were so black/burnt, they were completely inedible. The side we received were the leftover ore-ida breakfast potatoes and the vegetable seemed to be something leftover from what they would?ve used in omelette. The snapper was supposed to be crab stuffed. It was more like stuffing with minced crab slapped on top of the fish. This was COMPLETELY unacceptable!! For $125 per couple, are you kidding me?!?! I sent my food back and the meal was comped, as it should?ve been. We were not the only table this happened to. We could overhear the floor manager and another server say ?well we can?t help that we ran out of food?. How is that possible?!?! This seating was strictly reservation ONLY. They knew how many people would be eating. They should have ordered the correct amount of food. On top of, if your server cannot handle the small amount of people on a fixed menu, then hire someone else. Yes, i understand they worked on Christmas. But whenthe other server started trying to get sympathy from her remaining customers by talking trash about another customer that complained, that was EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE!! I cannot believe that I opted for coming here for a nice quiet and supposedly high end meal for Christmas!! You were not prepared by any means and should not have moved forward with this opening for Christmas. I will NEVER come back here again. Complete disregard for others during this beautiful holiday. I have to say, you completely ruined it for me. While we sat waiting to pay for our drinks (another 30 minute wait)?.I cried at the table?no server, no manager?NOTHING!!! If I could give a negative review, I would!
