The atmosphere feels warm,…read morecharming, and tucked-away--like a hidden gem surrounded by beautiful natural vibes, perfect for a relaxed night out. The food was fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented with that elevated, homemade feel that makes everything taste even better. Service was friendly and unhurried, which really added to the peaceful pace of the evening. What makes it extra special is that you can also shop while you're there. The boutique-style space has cute, curated items that make it fun to browse before or after dinner, turning the whole visit into more than just a meal. It's the kind of place you go when you want dinner, a little shopping, and a calm, memorable experience all in one. Definitely a spot worth returning to.

We drove over an hour from Pinellas County because of the glowing reviews, and it ended up being…read moreone of the most disappointing dining experiences we've had. We were traveling with an elderly disabled family member who uses a mobility scooter. Although there were designated accessible parking spaces, the ramp leading into the building was so narrow that her scooter couldn't safely use it. Once inside, both the retail store and the restaurant had aisles that were too narrow for the scooter to navigate. As a result, she had to leave the scooter behind and painfully walk with a cane, which left her exhausted before we were even seated. The retail store itself was packed so tightly with merchandise that it felt more like navigating an obstacle course than shopping. Much of the merchandise was gift-shop fare at prices that seemed difficult to justify. The restaurant appeared disorganized from the moment we checked in. We watched multiple parties who arrived after us get seated before we did, including a party of two being seated at a table that could accommodate eight guests. Meanwhile, our elderly disabled relative was told she could wait in a chair next to the restroom. When we were finally called, we were seated at a table at the very back of the restaurant, requiring yet another long and painful walk for our relative. After looking over the menu, we found the prices surprisingly high for the offerings, and there wasn't enough that appealed to our group to justify staying. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering. After driving more than an hour based on the restaurant's reputation, the combination of poor accessibility, disorganized seating, and a menu that didn't provide good value made the trip feel like a complete waste of time. We ended up driving into Plant City instead, where we found a welcoming restaurant with reasonable prices and a much better overall experience.

This is a small restaurant with booth and table seating. As we walked in, we were greeted by a friendly server who instructed us to sit wherever we like. The menu covers everything from breakfast to dinner. My wife and I shared the ultimate skillet, which was one of the specials offered on a Saturday. It was stacked with homefries, vegetables, meats, gravy, and cheese. It was a great value at $15. The flavor was outstanding. I will mention one negative. The parking situation is not good. I did not see many spots available. I just happened to get a spot right in front of the restaurant but I feel like we will struggle to find parking if it's busy. We were provided exceptional service the entire time. I will absolutely return to A&G to try more of the menu.

The prices are extremely reasonable, which is why I end up here a few times per week. I'm a big fan of the veggie omelet. I get a side of hollandaise because theirs is absolutely the best. I also love their steak tips, when they are on special. Their grape leaves platter and fried seafood platters are also some of my regulars; just make sure you have a big appetite if you order either because they are substantial!

The Friday night "Special" Fish and chips were awful. Seafood Chowder was cold, Fries were cold and greasy. Replacement fries not much better - The fried fish batter was soggy and the quality of the fish was not there. From the taste I also wondered when the last time the fryer oil was changed?? Sad as we were hoping for a much better experience. If Sawgrass Grill is going to attract more business from the Riverhills community - quality of food needs to improve. Seems like they rely on the liquor sales to drive the business. Not everyone in Riverhills wants to go to the club to drink and hang out with friends. Some of us would like a good dining experience. Place reminds me of "JF Kicks" with not as good food. Place was dirty - carpet in dining areas dirty, windows need to be cleaned - for not operating several days a week one would think they could have the place spotless. Perhaps we need to lease out the restaurant part of the club to someone who can run it better? For the HOA fees we pay now by owning the club - I expect a better product and if done right can generate $$. Waitress was sweet - but seemed overwhelmed... Automatically adds gratuity to bill which is ok but no where is this shown on the check. Food overpriced for the product served....

It was the inconsistencies with the quality of the prime rib that kept me from returning. We decided to go back recently for an early birthday dinner. It's conveniently located in our neighborhood. The atmosphere has definitely changed. I noticed it immediately when we entered. It's a smaller staff than before. We remember being greeted right away (even at opening time). This time, there was no one at the reception stand. We waited for a few minutes knowing there was a larger group that was there before us. I believe it was the bartender (maybe the host) who eventually greeted & seated us. Melissa got everything started with our drink order. She was great! I really liked that she had the right amount of attentiveness. We never had to wave her over for anything. She also confirmed that the pretzel sticks are now an additional charge. To be honest, I never liked them that much anyway. I didn't get to take a picture of my husband's Wedge Salad. He started eating it right away. I was impressed with my House Salad. It looked and tasted so fresh. He was also happy with his Peach Bourbon Pork Chop, although he did say that the sauce was a little too sweet for him. We both agreed that it was tender, and not dry. It's a good choice. I had the Delmonico Ribeye, and it was prepared and seasoned perfectly. Loved it! I had leftovers the next day, and it was just as tasty. It's my new favorite steak in the area. Our last Texas Roadhouse and Outback steak experiences were horrible. This one at Stonewood is more expensive, but it was worth it. Now, I don't know how it will be the next time so don't quote me on this. As I mentioned before, there have been inconsistencies in the past. However, I will say that the cocktails & service here have always been very good. I will go back for the steak. I'm not sure that I'd order the Prime Rib again. I'll save that experiment for another day when it's not a special occasion. Give it a try if you happen to be in Brandon. They also have a location in Tampa Palms which appears to be more popular. It's a Florida (originated in Ormond Beach) restaurant chain that has been around for over 20 years. It deserves more praise.
