One of my favorite dining experiences to date!!! This is a meal from March 25, 2023, I forgot I took pictures and was telling someone about it and had to post.
The service is unbelievable. If you get up to use the restaurant, your napkin is folded when you get back. I don't think my water glass was ever less that 3/4 full. I got a little chilly and the server offered me a sarong to put around my shoulders.
The outside is extremely unassuming for the quality of the meal,place etc, and the inside is small and cozy. Pretty dimly lit, which was hard for my in laws to read the menu, but I think they provided lights? I thought I remember someone telling me they only book the number of reservations as they have tables for each evening, so you can take your time and enjoy. But maybe I'm making that up. They also had a pianist jamming out for part of the night. He was great and hilarious, taking requests etc and really added to the vibe of the evening.
Now on to the best part, THE FOOD. I wish I remembered the names but the menu may have changed by now anyway, but each dish was absolutely insane. The winner, which might seem like the easy pick bc they're usually a highlight if they're done properly, was the steak. But this wasn't just any steak, it was hands down the best steak I have ever had in my entire life. I remember each steak in my top 5 and this one is at the very top, I almost cried.
Other highlights was this crunchy bowl with I think fish was inside? It was made out of a puff pastry and had herbs that the chef grew himself which was neat. My mother in law got tableside pasta and cheese which was a fun presentation. The desserts were amazinggggg!! Homemade chocolate soufflé WOW.
And lastly, drinks were great. I got all mocktails and they weren't just boring mocktails, they were still creative and tasty. My husband enjoyed the manhattans so much he had a few too many lol
I wish we still lived in Florida or got to go at least one more time before we moved. One of my favorite restaurants ever. Will go out of my way to dine here again next time we visit soflo.
