    wonderful waiter and Chef

    We had a wonderful lunch at Blew, the restaurant in Cruisers. Chef Sterling Peacock created everything to perfection. This was Blew's first private party, and the staff, the owner, and Chef couldn't do enough for us. We had a choice of chicken marsala, pork Dijon, or beat salad with chicken and Gazpacho soup. All 23 of us so enjoyed our meals. I forgot to take pics of the dishes, but each was beautiful, and I could cut my chicken with a fork, it was so moist. Mine came with risotto, which was the best I've ever had. Dessert- wow, Chef's fresh made a rich chocolate gelato! The venue is just gorgeous. One walks into the beautiful outside bar, and then the lovely back yard. But the restaurant itself was just stunning.

    Very good cocktails, beer, drinks, etc.

    This place is absolutely phenomenal. The owner is fantastic and has us keep coming back. Best service and personalities I have seen in SWFL from all employees, especially bartenders and performers. Definitely would tell more and more people to visit!!

    Kava has been part of Pacific Island culture for centuries, long before it ever showed up in the…read moreUnited States. It started as a communal drink shared during gatherings, ceremonies, and quiet moments between people who valued connection and calm. At some point that tradition drifted into Western culture, eventually creating the whole "kava café" concept. I honestly don't know when it became a popular thing in Florida, and I'm not sure anyone does. It just feels like one day you started hearing about them, and the next thing you know, these mellow little kava spots were popping up everywhere. What I do know is that my experience at Kava Culture was so unexpectedly good that I found myself saying something I never thought I would. I told them I wished they served Matcha Lattes because if they did, I'd start coming here a lot more often, even though I live a fair bit away. As someone who doesn't do cannabis, CBD, THC, or anything in that world, I walked in with curiosity and walked out feeling pleasantly surprised. The vibe, the calm, the atmosphere, and the way everyone there seemed genuinely relaxed made the whole experience feel refreshing. It didn't feel edgy or strange or outside my comfort zone. It just felt good. Real, grounded, and easy. And honestly, that alone says everything about why this place won me over.

    I stopped by Kava Culture Kava Bar on a Thursday morning. I had visited a different coffee shop the…read moreday before and had such a great experience that I found myself on an unofficial coffee tour that week. From the outside, the place looks really cute and well-decorated. Just a heads-up--it's the second door, not the first one. I accidentally walked into the office before realizing I was in the wrong spot. Thankfully, a friendly gentleman working there opened the correct door for me. Inside, the vibe was calm and welcoming. The space was nicely decorated, with a clean bar setup and people enjoying their drinks and conversations. It looked like they also had some merch in the back, which added to the cozy coffeehouse feel. I was greeted by a bubbly barista who asked if I knew what I wanted. I didn't, so I reached for the menu and immediately felt overwhelmed. There was a lot to take in, and it wasn't very intuitive. Thankfully, the barista was helpful and offered to make me something based on my preferences. I told her I liked my coffee strong and plain--no sweet flavors or extras. She ended up making me an iced coffee with a bit of simple syrup. It was great. The flavor was rich, the coffee was perfectly balanced, and the color told me everything I needed to know. I am not someone who likes a cup of creamer with a splash of coffee, so I was happy with how it turned out. I gave this place four stars. The only reason I didn't give five is the menu setup. It could definitely be more digestible. When I came back that weekend with a guest, they had a hard time figuring out what to order too, which confirmed it wasn't just me. That said, I do plan to return. The space is nice, the staff is friendly, and the coffee was worth the visit. With a few tweaks to the customer ordering experience, this place could easily become a go-to.

After the races, we decided to go to Escondido, which is the speakeasy in Taco Works, in Cape Coral. We were two couples having a great time hanging at the bar. We ordered four drinks (old fashions- not cheap, BTW) and after about 30 minutes we PAID our bill!!! Due to the fact that the drinks weren't completely finished, we stayed a little bit longer. After a bit, one of the bartenders gave us the bill AGAIN !! Thankfully, the receipt of payment was sent to my phone and when I showed it to the bartender, she said "oh" and another bartender stepped up behind her to say that he didn't know either; HE was the one who gave us the electronic receipt for payment only minutes before, how could he forget? The bar wasn't busy, not even 10 people with two bartenders sitting at the bar (and we were four of the 10); so they cannot claim that they were overrun with customers! Neither offered an apology nor any acknowledgment of their error/oversight! Hence, our "RED FLAG" was alerted because in ANY establishment, isn't it the job of a BARTENDER/SERVER to KNOW if a bill has been paid, and if they honestly didn't, shouldn't they acknowledge with an apology rather than simply "oh". We were sitting RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!! We will NOT go back because it seems they have a "game" going on where they try to take advantage of people, or they're entirely incompetent at their job. Either way, bad business!
