Looked at many other top notch restaurants before deciding on this superb establishment, besides the menu piqued our interest with the unusual combinations.

Had a flight from nearby St.Pete airport but needed to grab lunch. Randomly rolled into a shopping center and saw there was a cafe. Seemed like a good enough spot...didn't consult tripadvisor or other review outlets, which is unlike me when picking restaurants.

Chris Ponte is the creative chef / owner of this exceptional restaurant. This is the place when to go when you don't want to guess whether or not you will get the best meal with the best service. When we want to celebrate or just need to be feeling rich, we see Chis Ponte.

The only issue I have ever experienced with groupons is having them expire up until now. My business partner was in town and I wanted to go to a restaurant we hadn't been to.
