Will return.
On the Manatee River, west of Green Bridge. Huge. Indoor and out sections. Busy. Fish tanks. Red sauce. Warm bread – 70 degree is cool by the water. Good service and very good food.
We’ve
- Escargo
- Calamari w/ white sauce
- Grouper cake w/ white sauce
- Chowder
- Mushroom Arancini w/ red sauce
All are delicious, except the two white sauces – just too sweet. I asked for their red instead, which is so much better. I also don’t care for their butter which is house made with butter, cream cheese, Boursin – tastes good but I prefer the simple butter.
The chowder is good but Smith & Wollensky’s having had it just couple of weeks ago, is better, not as thick.
If I’ve to pick one in this area, I prefer this one over Oak n Stone.
Parking is relatively easy on this Monday night.
A very good stop before the ballet.
