My
sister
and
I
visited
to
spend
Valentine’s
weekend
together.
Parking
was
an
absolute
nightmare.
It
seemed
like
they
were
trying
to
accommodate
the
entire
city
of
Tampa
that
night.
Our
reservation
was
at
9:15pm
and
we
were
seated
around
9:25pm.
I
ordered
a
mint
julep
but
was
not
impressed.
Mint
juleps
are
usually
served
with
bourbon,
but
the
liquor
was
light.
I’ve
even
hade
a
homemade
version
with
grand
Marnier
that
was
10x
better.
For
our
appetizers
we
ordered
crab
cakes
and
the
fried
gator.
The
crab
cakes
were
not
fishy
at
all,
super
soft
and
not
overpowered
by
breadcrumbs
like
some
restaurants
do.
The
fried
gator
was
amazing
on
its
own,
but
the
aioli
definitely
did
it
justice!
The
house
salad
was
crispy
and
fresh.
We
also
ordered
a
side
of
lardons
and
blue
cheese.
The
lardons
were
a
little
chewy
for
my
liking
and
the
blue
cheese
was
way
too
powerful
for
me—and
I
do
love
blue
cheese!
I
ordered
the
porterhouse
(medium
rare).
The
outside
had
a
beautiful
color—though
I
think
it
may
have
been
charred
a
bit
too
much
as
my
steak
was
a
little
too
smoky
for
my
liking.
Other
than
that,
the
inside
was
nice,
and
it
tasted
great
the
next
day.
I
was
also
very
impressed
with
the
cauliflower!
For
the
most
part,
the
food
was
fantastic,
but
the
cauliflower
may
have
been
my
favorite
part!
Our
server
was
friendly
but
seemed
overwhelmed
and
I
felt
a
little
rushed.
I
was
surprised
at
how
generous
their
portions
were
for
fine
dining.
Unfortunately,
I
did
not
have
room
for
dessert,
but
I
regret
not
getting
a
sweet
butter
cake
to
go.
I
will
be
back!
