I was craving a good steak and came across this casual, laid back steakhouse. After reading several…read morereviews praising their beer cheese and pretzels, I knew I had to find out for myself. I made a reservation, but when I arrived, only a few people were sitting at the bar, so I practically had the entire dining room to myself. Phyre is located on a quiet street just steps away from St. Cloud City Hall. The décor features black velvet booths, black chairs, and marble tables. It isn't fancy, but it has a cool, modern vibe. They even had a huge Christmas tree still on display, decorated in preparation for the Fourth of July, which definitely caught my attention. Allie was my host and server, and she was friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout my visit. Every restaurant needs a Allie. She was amazing! If Phyre management reads this, she needs a raise. I mean absolutely wonderful service! I started with what they call the "Our Fashion" cocktail and their famous pretzels served with beer cheese . The cocktail was enjoyable, and I can see why the pretzels get so much attention. They were soft, warm, and fresh. I would have preferred a little less salt, but then again, it wouldn't really be a pretzel. The cheese sauce could have been hotter, but it was flavorful and paired well with the pretzels. For my entrée, I ordered the surf and turf featuring filet medallions, three crab-stuffed shrimp, and a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The food arrived surprisingly quickly, which I appreciated. The filet medallions were cooked to a perfect medium and had a nice slight crisp on the outside, although they weren't quite as hot as I would have liked. It was served towith a delicious wine sauce that really elevated the dish. The crab stuffed shrimp were flavorful, and the garlic mashed potatoes were a great complement to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed my Sunday dinner at Phyre. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the food delivered a satisfying steakhouse experience. I'd definitely return to try more of the menu.

Didn't know what to expect when we pulled up to Phyre Brewery and Tavern. It was one of rhe…read morecoldest Saturdays in Florida history. And when we entered it was all sunshine and good vibes. Hard to describe this place. It was decorated like an old time speakeasy. There was a pianist doing Billy Joel songs which was quite good. And the patrons here were top notch. Liked the tree they have up all year, the theme for February was Valentines. Frankie is the chef and she is making magic here. Had the short ribs and it came with rosemary and garlic mash and brussels. Can't believe how very delicious this was and it was 5 star quality and worth every penny of it's $36 price. One of the best meals I have had in months. The bananas foster cheese cake is to die for. Actually everything was great. The food, drinks and such friendly service. So in love with Phyre Brewery & Tavern. Crystal and Kristen were our bartenders. Kristen made a smoked old fashion which was awesome. It was a little on the sweet side, but definitely awesome. See the videos. They also have a Clydes old fashioned which is garnished with their phyre bacon. Aubrey and Allie were taking care of the tables, but got to meet them too and they were awesome. There is Karaoke here on Mondays... so definitely have to come back and check that out!

I had a group of us driving to Orlando for a weekend and we were making good time, so it was perfect to stop short in St Cloud to see what this Black Squirrel Bookstore was all about. I actually let the girls go in and check it out as we had brought our dog. I sat in the car and read a book ironically, why they had some speakeasy fun. well after maybe a half hour i looked up and my gal and another lady were by the car. The other lady said she was the owner and that we could bring our dog Augie inside. It was very kind of her, as it really wasn't expected art such a nice spot. He sat politely under the table, while we enjoyed some fun drinks, a singer that was adding to a nice night. We left after a couple, but for sure will swing by again when we have the time; great spot.

The bookstore itself is a treat, but we were there for the speakeasy. For this you ring the doorbell outside, they come get you and give you a clue to get in. They don't make you do it if you don't want to but, that is part of the fun. We solved it and in we went. Squirrels everywhere, fun signs, chandeliers, books and light, plus beautiful cozy tables and sofa seating, giving this a great speakeasy ambiance. On the corner a piano, and to our surprise a wonderful live jazz singer, who made our experience even better. The owner happened to be there that night and came to welcomes us at our table. Really nice lady, very happy to see people enjoy the place, and she herself was there with friends having a great time. The drinks are fun, and they have a food menu too. Honestly a place I want to come back to and recommend to everyone.

My husband and I went into this location to pick up a few things with our older children. One of…read moreour children (12 YO) was carrying a case of Liquid Death water (obviously NA because it's water) which garnered a dirty look from one of the employees there. As we were checking out, my other child picked up a bag of potato chips to look at and the same employee yelled across the entire length of the checkout area "guys, you can't pick things up in here, this is an adult store". Both of my children were visibly embarrassed at being admonished in such a way. Now, maybe to some people this is shocking, but my kids know their parents have an occasional alcoholic beverage (gasp) so we don't see any harm in them going into the store with us. They did not touch a single bottle, walked around with us quietly as we got what we needed, and the only thing they touched was a bag of chips. I'm disappointed at the way this was handled and that the employee felt the need to embarrass my children over something that didn't even need to be said. Rather than returning here, we will continue to go back to Total Wine on the rare occasion we need to grab some drink supplies because they at least have common sense. I understand now why the store was so empty when we went.

All right. So here goes. I'll give this place a solid three, maybe a 3 1/2. Here's the problem. Well let me let me give the positives first. The conch fritters were outstanding. A lot of conch meat and not a lot of filler. 5 out 5 . The mozzarella wedges not bad. Pretty much standard. That marinara sauce was from a can just admit it. It was lousy and then the fish and chips with the Mahi. The fish was outstanding. Well done. The batter was not soggy. It stayed crest for the most part of fish was good. Listen for that much money. I want more french fries in there. You literally gave me 10 french fries. In the end of the thing that's not excusable with the price of things where they are be a little more giving on the french fries. The remoulade Tartar sauce was was way too salty use. You can't use that much old base seasoning but overall the fish was good now here's my problem. And this is pretty much why I'm giving you three stars instead of giving you four or five. I lived. I worked and I cooked in Charleston South Carolina. I know how to make shrimp and grits. I know how to make it low country style like it's as it comes from what you served me. I appreciate your creativity but you don't put fried grit cakes and shrimp on a skewer. Let me call you and that is not shrimp and grits. Honestly, that's a mark of a lazy chef. If you can't make cheese grits and you don't know how to make cheese grits for shrimp and grits. I was a chef and I still am. I'll come over there. I'll teach you how to make a low country shrimp and grits. OK and it'll sell way better than that stuff. A fried GRITCAKE no . NOW the shrimp was cooked. Well it was nicely season. Good job on the shrimp. But like if you want me to come over there I'll show you how to cook it. You get you get $20 $25 for a bowl of that stuff. Instead of making that stuff. You can make cheese grits in a matter of minutes. OK all you need us some Bell peppers some good pepper, Jack cheese and come do it. I'll do it for free. Other than that. It was decent. Just let me help you. I don't mind coming over there and showing you how to do it. If you don't know how to do it. I really don't. But please don't do that. Again. If you, I know you're trying to be creative but that that's that's not. If you can't ruin a classic dish like that. I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound nasty and rude. But that's a lazy chef frying a great cake and putting it on skewer. No thanks. I'd love to come back maybe try something else but I certainly wouldn't be getting that again until you make some changes on that. But overall not a bad experience food wise. I can't. I'll have to come in and give you the rest.
