Pleasantly surprised with this place. Located at the end of a strip mall next to Publix on Summerlin Rd, we stopped in for a quick lunch. Danielle, our waitress, was very attentive. My husband had the Crab-cake sandwich and I had the Oriental Shrimp wrap. Both were delicious! I felt the price was reasonable for the amount of food we ordered. The restaurant was quaint and clean. We're looking forward to returning in the near future for dinner.

Ok this place is great. No holds bar. All the decorations for the establishment just worked. The bar, where we sat, was almost perfect.
The bartender knew what we wanted, and was very knowledgeable. It was a delight engaging in conversation.
Nothing here seemed off or out of place.
The food was superb. Cooked fresh. Served hot. A really pleasant stop.
If you haven't been. You should really think about coming here.
10/10 folks, keep up the amazing work.

I was super surprised when I walked in and saw a "fine dining" restaurant. I expected a bar/grill type of place. We had just driven to Ft. Meyers from Miami after a 5hr flight so we were exhausted and hungry. We spotted this after a visit to Publix. The menu was expensive, not going to lie. We ended up sharing the pork chop plate. I will say, the 2 pork chops were cooked very well. They were seasoned simply. A nice sauce would have been great on the side. The mashed potatoes were a bit lumpy, so that was a sign to me that they are real. The broccoli was overcooked, but seasoned

This little diner tucked into a shopping center touts itself as "classy". The place wasn't that busy when we came , but we were limited as to where we could sit because there were several tables that had never been cleaned and stayed that way throughout our meal.The food is overpriced for what you get. $14 for a spinach salad, $23 for spaghetti and a couple of meatballs that tasted like it came out of a jar?
If you want really good Mediterranean food, ambiance, and exceptional service, go to the other end of the same shopping center and eat at Osteria Celli!

So, I ordered the pasta olio ($19) which was supposed to be angel hair pasta, garlic, basil, and sun-dried tomatoes. The sun-dried tomatoes were actually chopped up fresh tomatoes and I could barely taste any garlic at all, even though I asked for extra garlic. It was pretty light on the olives also. The fettuccine pesto ($19) was pretty good, I didn't feel it had a huge basil kick. The bread rolls were delicious. Shrimp cocktail ($12) was good. The ribeye steak ($28) was good, the garlic mashed potatoes that came with it were cold as was the broccoli. Positive note was that the server

Always wanted to support this restaurant and gave it a shot. In my life I've had a couple of regrets, this being one of them. Server was not wearing a mask, breath smelled like alcohol, and food was terrible. Server recommended the fajitas, second regret. My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and son ordered a cheese burger. ALL OF OUR FOOD WAS BURNT!!! Also, the restroom was a dumpster fire. Don't go in there.

Stopped on a whim while on our way back home and very happy we did. Light apps and a couple of craft beers really hit the spot. Calamari was excellent and gumbo was authentic. Got to meet Minerva and enjoyed our conversation with her. A high point of our brief visit to the area, worth stopping if you’re passing by.

Masks are not mandatory here and not many people were wearing then particularly on the crowded dance floor. If this concerns you, stay away.
Overall the food was good and of good value. However the service was dreadfully slow. I think it was because it was so crowded that the kitchen got backed up. It took some friends of ours 70 minutes to get their food after ordering.
I imagine it might be better on a week night when they don't have live music.

The bartender at lunch time on 2/3/21 was rude and obnoxious, he said we don't have to wear a mask here in Florida when we told him we were from New York. Staff were not wearing mask including him. He then made a statement COVID is inside and outdoors when we were considering sitting outside. Wont return or recommend, the food is probably just as bad as the bartender.

One of the worst establishments around. The food is inconsistent they can't keep servers longer then a few weeks before the owner Minerva gets in one of her moods and starts going off on them in front of costumers! Very unprofessional. She's even thrown people out for sending undercooked food back. The husband is a coward and does not put a stop to his wife's unnecessary rants. There are too many other places to go then to put up with that kinda treatment. When you have miserable owners you're going to have miserable workers.
