- SSherylVIPTampa / Central Florida West •53 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoLove this place! The Cesar salad was a great start. I had the halibut and my husband had the short ribs and both were delicious. Their take on bananas foster was delicious. But the stars of the night were the gin drinks. Our waiter was well versed on the various types when we asked for one we hadn’t had. Truly a great evening.
