Pink I side and crispy out side. Perfect. Husband just had teeth worked on so he couldn't really taste y t. Lol. Had deep fried fish. Looked good tho. Had taco soup, tryed myself. Not bad.

I don't say that very often after dining, but I did this time. The food was so perfect we asked for the chef's name so we could pass the word. Besides the great food, we did not encounter any service delays and our server was very good. But, back to the food! Chef Victor must be a genius. We had the Blackened Mahi with Truffle Parmesan Potatoes with an Herb Beurre Blanc sauce that was amazing. The only negative was the fish was a little on the tough side. The potatoes were cooked perfectly. The outsides were crispy and the insides warm and soft yum! The main course was preceded by amazing little Corn Muffins with Chipotle Butter. These little muffins were delicious. The house salad was very good as well. You must go and eat here! Do not wait. If your meal is anything like ours you will be so pleased. We walked away satiated but not overloaded, looking forward to our next visit.

Decided since the remodel and rebranding we would try again as we were downtown for Saturday market.Upgraded to 2 star as the atmosphere and remodel is great. Much cleaner. Hosts were fantastic friendly, warm, welcoming. The bartender was our waitress and to be honest she is probably great when not doing multiple tables and the bar. Could tell she was very busy. Other waitresses were move involved with tables. We waited longer for bill and a box (they had to get more from Tropical Smoothie) than for the food.Food was blah. Cheesy tator tots were good but nothing special. Needed better and more cheese. Steak bowl was underwhelming Chipotle has a better bowl and lots cheaper. Chicken tenders were fishy. The batter used was a fish batter and fries were a bit over done. Burger was like a school lunch burger and was not as ordered (no ketchup). Only ate 1/4 of steak bowl and none of the chicken tenders. The 2 employees who brought the bill (not the waitress) and our box (another lady who appeared to be a manager maybe never questioned the food wasn’t ate. No one ever asked how the food was.Very overpriced but price is consistent with other establishments like this.So overall not a fantastic experience. WeWon’t be back. Same problem from 7 years ago, still exist today. They may have remodeled and rebranded but nothing changed.

The atmosphere was very pleasant, and everyone that works there went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The decoration is modern and cozy. We ordered the crab cake appetizer. Delicious! My steakwas perfectly cooked and flavorful. The cocktail menu is very good. There is something for everyone. The server was top-notch.He was constantly checking on us and made sure our drinks were fresh. Overall, this place is an excellent option if you are inWinter Haven.
