We had the most amazing Anniversary dinner! Our waitress was top notch, Julie Ann S. She knew about every meal, she was funny and she was very attentive to our needs, which really wasn’t any since she was so on top of it all. The other staff were also very warm, welcoming and helpful. The food was so flavorful and delicious! Plus, we put a beautiful anniversary desert, which was also so so so tasty!

I had an amazing dining experience here! The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and full of flavor. The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure everything was just right. The service was top-notch and truly added to the experience. The drinks were expertly crafted, and the dessert was absolutely delicious—definitely the perfect ending to a great meal. I will absolutely be returning soon! Highly recommend this Fort Pierce gem!

The Bad - I arrived at this restaurant with high hopes, only to be disappointed by the steaks. Despite ordering six steaks - five cooked to medium and one well done—we were dismayed to find all of them overcooked. A glance into the open kitchen revealed our steaks left on warmers, likely contributing to their further cooking, while waiting for the one well-done steak. It's surprising for a steak-focused establishment to miss the mark on such a fundamental aspect. Furthermore, the steaks were noticeably lacking in seasoning. Tne Great! - However, the other dishes we tried exceeded our expectations. The Squid Steak and the Dirty Oysters were fresh and delicious. The sides, particularly the Brussels Sprouts and Truffle Fries, were superb! The desserts, including the Creme Brulee and Apple Bread Pudding, were nothing short of extraordinary. Our server, Pamela "Frenchie," provided delightful and attentive service, earning a solid five stars for her customer care. While I may not return for the steaks, the outstanding customer service and other delectable menu items make this restaurant worth another visit.

I really wanted to love this place, but sadly I won’t be going back. The worst part about that is I don’t think they did anything wrong… I just don’t think this place is good. The positive was the service! It was fine dinning service for sure! We were sat at a table that was probably the most awkwardly placed table I’ve ever seen! But it was raining and our outdoor reservation had to be squeezed inside, so I wasn’t going to complain. However, they moved us to a much nicer table without us even asking or complaining. I was very impressed by that move from the management at front of house! Our waitress name was Andrea and she was also amazing. Our drinks were never empty, everything was attended to perfectly. Again, zero issues with the staff or the service. The low star count comes from the food sadly. When you go out for a nice dinner, spend $245 for two (no alcohol was purchased) and you can make better at home? It’s a disappointment. We started with the smoked Gouda and tomato bisque and it was amazing, the highlight of the meal really. My wife ordered the filet tip Gorgonzola gnocchi… sounded AMAZING on the menu but was so overloaded with Gorgonzola, that was all you could taste, and after 4 bites the Gorgonzola flavor was so strong that it was almost unpalatable. I ordered the 90 dollar KC dry aged strip, ordered medium rare. It came medium to medium well, and lacked ALL seasoning. No salt was used in cooking this meal at all. The steak tasted like I was licking the grill grates. The spicey house steak sauce saved the steak, but when I’m paying $90 for just a steak, it better not need a sauce and be cooked right. Since my $90 steak didn’t come with sides I ordered the smothered potatoes and fig Brussels as my sides. The Brussels were good, but again, the potatoes lacked any and all seasoning, and whatever sauce was on them tasted off or sour. We ate three bites and didn’t touch them the rest of the dinner. We finished with the bread pudding which wasn’t a bread pudding at all. It was an apple cobbler/apple pie. Now, it tasted great, and the meal ended on a high note because of it…. But it wasn’t a bread pudding. 2 out of 5 is all that’s deserved here considering the price and quality of food are so far off from each other. The only reason it’s not a 1 is because of the amazing staff that helped us and waited on us.

I have been meaning to write a review for a while on how much I love this place. Whenever I come to visit my family from NY I always try to come here on my trip. It has become tradition and such a treat. The food is always delicious and I really appreciate all the attention to detail from the food presentation, high end restaurant decor, to the service. One of our favorite family times has become coming here for drinks, the charcuterie board and some appetizers and we always have such a great time, especially when we sit in the patio and pretend we are on a little European vacation haha. I truly believe this is one of the best restaurants in the area and Fort Pierce is so lucky to have this place.

Everything was absolutely delicious from the drinks to the sear on the steak, the service was impeccable, kind, and very attentive. We had a great time celebrating my birthday 🎂 and it was the perfect ambiance to. The ambiance is rustic Texas like felt. The bone marrow was succulent, flavor beyond, the steak was spot on and the mushrooms I ordered as a side were perfect. Thank you.
