"We went to this restaurant for lunch. Even though I now live in New Jersey, this has always been one of my favorite places in Florida. The beautiful beach views, indoor and outdoor dining options, and consistently delicious food make it a great choice. Our appetizers were excellent. We enjoyed a wonderful tomato basil soup and perfectly fried calamari served with a house-made vinaigrette instead of the usual tomato sauce. We all decided to try the "Prime Rib Sandwich" on the menu, which our waitress explained was actually a thinly sliced prime rib roast. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the sandwich as it was not the thick cut of prime rib we were expecting. The meat, onions, and cheese on the nicely toasted ciabatta roll were tasty, but overall the sandwich fell short of our expectations. The coleslaw and seasoned fries that came with it were delicious, as was the au jus gravy. For dessert, we enjoyed a heavenly caramel cheesecake and a perfectly balanced, slightly spicy traditional southern bread pudding topped with a vanilla bourbon sauce. Despite the disappointment with the sandwich, this restaurant remains one of my favorites in Florida and I will definitely return next time I am in the area."
