“ Quaint little place on Osprey Avenue. The small interior leads to a very intimate atmosphere with a side bar available if you want to just stop in for a few drinks. Outstanding service with quick attention paid by the server. The burger was very good and cooked well, along with generous pieces of bacon. Seasoning on the fries was delicious, as well. A definite hidden hole-the-wall gem that should not be missed. ”
“ Great Food!! Real nice wine and beer selection. If you like Key Lime Pie, you must order it! A homemade recipe, tweaked to perfection! Great atmosphere, awesome staff! Feels like your favorite, local hangout! Owner Tom and Bartender Kate are very personable and welcoming!! ”
“ This was an interesting find. Oddly, we found this place looking for a delicious burger. The place didn't disappoint. The burgers, veggie burgers, and fish sand were all excellent and hot. My only gripe was my wine that had a vinegar tang to it. Ugh, house wine is always a gamble. ”
“ Joined friends early on A Friday night in May so not busy. Enjoyed my hummus plate appetizer and wedge salad. Had plenty of time to sit and talk -not rushed. ”

We enjoyed the brie and shrimp appetizers,surf and turf, prime rib, peanut butter pie and bourbon bread pudding! The owner, Tommy is very personable and you never know when you might find him in the restaurant dining or visiting with guests! The restaurant is also extremely clean! ”
“ Wow.... Fantastic is what really comes to mind... everything we had off the menu was outstanding... and the Key Lime Pie ... the absolute best I have ever had and I lived in the keys for years.... The service was also outstanding... the prices were very reasonable! If I could give more than five stars , I would gladly do so .... Best meal / restaurant we have dined at while visiting Sarasota over the past three weeks ... ( and really over the past few years as we come down every year and stay a month) ”
