This is from 9/27 visit for dinner. We were told a 20‑minute wait for a table for two, which we…read morewere perfectly fine with. There were a couple of guests ahead of us and a family of four already waiting. While we waited, two different groups of four arrived, one group of friends and another heading to homecoming and both were seated before us. It was frustrating to watch larger parties get prioritized even though we had been waiting longer. If there was a reason for the seating order, it wasn't communicated to us. The experience left us feeling overlooked, and it definitely took away from what should have been a simple dinner outing.

My boyfriend and I had date night at Augustine, last night!…read more This was both of our first times in the restaurant since they have transformed it from its previous restaurant. We were both immediately impressed with the transformation! It was dark and moody but the lamps were still bright enough to read the menu. It was elegant but still comfortable enough that we weren't afraid to have conversation (some restaurants we have visited with similar ambiance makes you feel like you have to be quiet, Augustine was not like this which we appreciated). We ordered drinks, me a thyme sour; delicious and refreshing, him a sweet tea. We were given the freshest, fluffiest, softest bread with a surprising no herb butter. We both gave it a 9/10 We ordered the crab cake appetizer. We are crab cake snobs so it was only right we did. We both instantly agreed that these were the best crab cakes we have had in a restaurant setting by far! They were full of actual crab meat, lightly fried with what I believe were bread crumbs and not a thick flour batter. The best way to do it in my opinion. They came with the tastiest, citrus remoulade sauce. I could've put that sauce on everything. We both also gave these a 9/10 only because as much as we loved the sauce they drowned our cakes in it and we had to scrape some off. For our entrees we ordered the fish Augustine and the duck breast. Normally cooked medium we asked that our duck be cooked medium rare (that's how we like it) and the kitchen knocked it out the park! Again, the best duck breast we have had in a restaurant setting to date (even better than the duck breast we had a Michelin star restaurant for my birthday previously ). They paired it with the crispiest soft roasted potatoes and a blackberry sauce that was perfect in my opinion. I gave this a 10/10 he gave it a 9/10..-1 for no reason. The fish Augustine good but not great especially compared to the duck dish. The fish, grouper was cooked perfectly in my opinion and was soft and flaky however it lacked flavor. It comes with a few shrimp that are listed as gulf shrimp but these shrimp immediately tasted imported to me..rubbery and the taste of freezer burn. The asparagus were my favorite part of the dish only because they tasted normal to me. The sauce on the bottom was good but I found myself dredging the fish and asparagus through it in order to get some kind of flavor in my mouth which is disappointing. We both rated this a 5/10 shrimp being a 1/10. There was a little hiccup in the kitchen with our courses that resulted in us waiting longer than average for our entrees but our server, Corey, more than made up for it with dessert! We got a regular crème brûlée and a strawberry champagne layered cake. Both desserts were exceptional and the perfect ending to our date night. Overall we gave our experience a solid 8/10 and will definitely be back even if it is just for the duck breast

After hearing from several people that we "had to check out Darrell's," we finally decided to hit…read moreit up for lunch. We arrived just a couple minutes after their 11 a.m. opening, and the place was already packed, a good sign in itself. Luckily, with only three of us, the hostess got us seated at a table right away. The exterior isn't much to look at, but stepping inside tells a different story. The interior has a sports bar meets old school diner vibe, with decor that gives the whole place a nostalgic, lived-in charm. We all decided on the Darrell's Special sandwich with jalapeño mayo, and it did not disappoint. Our waitress was fantastic the whole meal, constantly checking in, keeping our drinks filled, and making sure we didn't need anything else. Despite how busy the place was, our sandwiches came out in a surprisingly short time. The sandwich itself is a beast! A toasted, loaded bun stacked with ham, turkey, and roast beef (which I hear is made in-house), all topped with roast beef gravy, American, Swiss, and provolone cheeses, lettuce, mustard, and your choice of regular or jalapeño mayonnaise, of course we had the Jalapeño Mayo. The first bite reminded me of a warm French dip, but that impression quickly gave way to layers of different meat flavors, rounded out by the subtle heat of the jalapeño mayo. It practically melted in my mouth. Honestly, I wanted to finish the whole thing, but I didn't want to need to be rolled out of the building, so I boxed up the second half and enjoyed it again for dinner. Great food, great service, and now I understand what all the buzz was about.

We heard good things about Luna, but I believe they were talking about a different location. Sadly,…read morethis is the only location open on Sunday for dinner, not to mention the only restaurant open at all on Sunday night. As an only resort, we visited Luna for dinner. The inside is beautiful, the dining areas and bar looked immaculate, the staff were friendly and attentive, so we assumed we would have an excellent meal. After getting our shrimp and artichoke dip appetizer, we realized the tortilla chips were stale and proceeded to eat the dip with just our forks. We shared a fried chicken breast main dish and a side Caesar salad. The salad croutons were picked off because we noticed those were also stale and chewy - this made the salad edible at least. Our chicken came out and we both immediately noticed it tasted funny, like a soapy dish water marinade. The breading was edible but sadly we couldn't make a meal out of it. So we left hungry and added this location to our list of places never to visit again when we are in the area. I don't know what this location is doing that can't be replicated from the other more popular location, but having the advantage of being one of the few restaurants open on Sunday, I would suggest management fix whatever is happening in the kitchen so they might succeed long term.

There were three of us, and we enjoyed ourselves so much that we stayed until closing! We started with the Crab Beignets and the Bone Marrow Tartare. I had never tried bone marrow tartare before, but it was absolutely incredible. The combination of prime tenderloin tartare, bone marrow, garlic aioli, and chimichurri purée was unique and packed with flavor. For our entrees, we had the Lobster Pasta, Mushroom Pasta with Chicken, and the Power Bowl with Shrimp. Every dish was outstanding. The Power Bowl was especially flavorful, and I absolutely loved the sauce. The lobster pasta was rich and delicious, and the mushroom pasta was perfectly prepared. To finish, we shared the Brownie in a Cup, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was amazing. Great food, excellent service, and a wonderful atmosphere.

Unfortunately, we were there on a Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't all that romantic. We were literally the only table in the place. No one else. That tends to make me nervous, but we pursued.

Once the food arrived, however, I understood. They are making everything from scratch and to order. My charcuterie board had three amazing meats. The pork belly/bacon was still warm. The cheeses were equally as tasty, especially the truffle cheese. Mike's sandwich was super tasty and looked yummy. He said it was as good as it looked. Our waitress was very attentive and sweet.
