Plenty of "spaces" to sit, depending on your mood. Indoor, outdoor, high and low seating, family-friendly. Staff was very nice and helpful. Just the right amount of chatty. My wife loved her lager. The not so good. My only complaint here is a significant one considering we came to a brewing spot. I ordered the stout. I order them at any brewing place we visit. This was by far the most bland, watery stout I've tasted. I let the server know when she asked us how it was. She didn't have much to say about it. Seemed surprised to hear it. Other than that, the experience at Big Top was nice. We'd return on our way back from doing something in Sarasota.

Our waiter "Moose" was outstanding, cocktails and food were on point. The only downside was that it is VERY loud inside, which is why we chose to sit outside, which was lovely.

Had no problem getting reservations a few dates before, had a great outdoor table that was definitely better than being inside. Our server-Makayla, arrived immediately, helped us through their brunch menu and returned shortly with our drinks. I have to tell ya that their "limitless" Bloody Marys and Mimosas for only $25 is a great deal!! Of course we had to order their FAMOUS Banana Old Fashioned, a Bloody Mary and a Hugo Spritz. We ordered the following brunch entrees: -Truffle Mushroom Omelette -Signature Allswell Burger -Full Monty Sandwich -Chicken & Waffle Stack EVERYTHING WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, HOT AND VERY TASTY! Job WELL DONE the Vicky and her ENTIRE team! This place is definitely my new go to place to eat. Can't wait to see their new restaurant concept that's going into the old McGrath's location on Main Street in LWR. If they do as good of a job there as they do in Waterside, I'll definitely have another place to add to my 'regular' places to go!

Exceptional Customer Service -- Thank You, Antonio Rossitto!…read more My wife and I had lunch at 131 MAIN today and wanted to recognize Manager Antonio Rossitto for an exceptional experience. Our meals arrived lukewarm, and we mentioned it to our waiter simply so the restaurant would be aware--we weren't looking for anything in return. Our waiter brought Antonio over, and from that moment, Antonio took complete ownership. He insisted on having both meals remade fresh from scratch and then personally brought the piping-hot meals back to our table. The food was incredible, but what happened afterward impressed us even more. Antonio came back to check on us and surprised us by telling us he had comped our entire meal. We never asked or expected him to do that. He simply wanted to make sure our experience was up to the standard that 131 MAIN expects for every guest who walks through their doors. Mistakes can happen at any restaurant. What separates a good restaurant from a great one is how they respond when something isn't right. Antonio turned a small issue into one of the best examples of genuine hospitality and customer service we've experienced. Antonio, thank you for going above and beyond and for making us feel truly valued as guests. You are an outstanding representative of 131 MAIN, and we will absolutely be back!

Apparently this place has been here for about a year or so. So, decided to try it! First thing i…read morenoticed was the bar and the upscale decor. There were at least three hostesses/waiters/tresses greeting us at the door. It's more of an adult environment. Very nice! We ordered an app, the cornbread, their claim to fame. And it certainly was fantastic!!! I had the cowboy salad. It was all chopped up just how I like my salads. Perfect amount of ingredients, they didn't skimp! The only issue, and I could have asked for more, was they should bring a small side of dressing when they bring the salads out. Regardless the salad was yummy! The prices were steep but not any more than you would expect to pay in an upscale restaurant, $23. And, what I appreciated was they DO NOT INCLUDE AN AUTO GRATUITY! YAY!!! Overall the experience was outstanding; environment was beautiful, service was good, food was delicious. We will be back, many times I'm sure!

The trick with Owen's, as if you didn't already know this, is to get there when they first open. I…read morelove their other location, so I was excited to try this larger one. We arrived early upon opening and were seated right away. Parking is a dream compared to the downtown location. Our waitress was super sweet and accommodating. Another benefit to getting there early is the discounted apps. We enjoyed an order of deviled eggs and some seasoned buttery rolls. My advice is not to order the rolls; they're tasty, but honestly, it's just bread, and if you only want to opt for one or two apps, it just seems like a bit of a waste, but that's just me. I don't eat seafood; my family loves it, so I ordered the veggie risotto. Dannnnng, it was so good, and it was extremely filling and enough to feed like five people. I took most of it home and got like two meals out of it. We were too full to really enjoy the dessert, but we split a cobbler three ways, and that one bite was sinfully good.

There's a ton of seating, so even though it's a popular place, it doesn't feel cramped. The live music added to the atmosphere, and our service was excellent from start to finish. As for the food, it was just okay. Nothing was bad, but it didn't quite live up to how much we loved the ambiance. That said, the overall experience was still enjoyable thanks to the fun atmosphere, great service, and live music. I'd definitely come back to relax, grab a drink, and soak in the vibe.

Parking can be a bit hectic, street parking and lot parking amongst the different apartments in the area. The street parking is free, just drive around. Service was very friendly and welcoming!

And now the reason why we were there AGAIN-Their AMAZING, DELICIOUS and FLAVORFUL FOOD. I HAD TO ORDER MY 'Cravable' favorite, their Fried Cauliflower App. OMG!! Again absolutely delicious!!

We ordered the Chicken Schnitzel Caesar Salad, F-ING DELICIOUS and their Lamb Flatbread, so good you'll slap your mama!!! They EARNED their 5 star rating from me AGAIN!! GREAT JOB BY ALL THOSE AFFILIATED WITH THIS RESTAURANT. Not enough to get me back in the restaurant business but DEFINITELY maintains my favorite restaurant in the area!! Thank you F&TSB's!!!!!

They have "indoor & outdoor" seating but everything was open on one side, but the more indoor side had AC so it was cool enough. I had a rice bowl with shrimp, and everything was soooooooo yummy. The hummus was some of the best I've had (and I have Mediterranean markets near house) and all was fresh. One small hiccup as I got a blood orange tea & my mom got hibiscus. The wrong ones were placed in front of each of us, and so I tried to verify with our server which one was blood orange and she confirmed what was placed in front of us, but we both took a drink and knew they were switched but not a big deal as we both like both flavors. I did ask if I could get sweetener and was given a box of sugars. But those don't dissolve in cold beverages, so I walked over to the full bar and asked for some simple syrup added which the bartender kindly gave me. A small thing, but it would be nice to offer the syrup when ordering so you can have options. The decor is insta-ready, very cute and eclectic. I will go back when in the area, and my vegan siblings have another place to eat too.
