We weren't sure if it was just for the day or if the restaurant is closed for a longer period of time, so I'm hoping someone can clarify if you're reopening again. I really hope you do, because the schnitzel and the German potato salad are some of the best! We always enjoyed coming here and would love to return in the future.

With indoor and outdoor seating, we opted for the AC inside. To feed three, we got the Polish hot dog, spicy beef pierogi, pickles, cucumber salad, and both soups. The borscht and zurek soups were very tasty! Everything else was too, but more on the average side. The soups, however, will keep you coming back. Service was a bit slow, but not too bad!

There is no street parking, valet at 30.00, and the guys were friendly and helpful. We walked through to the hostess and she was very polite and walked us to a table on the beach with a gorgeous view. The restaurant is beautiful, well decorated and on a sunny Florida day, this is where you want to be..... if there was good service. After you valet, be sure to use the restrooms because it's a journey to and from your table. Now, this is where we thought we were at a self service restaurant. After being seated there was no waiter in sight, the table next to us speaking loud and clear that they have been waiting for their check for over twenty minutes. After 15 minutes, still no server in sight. I got up to go order from the bar, behind me comes our server. He took our order and brought our drinks and that was the end of him. The Pina Colada was a bit too sweet, the rosé, perfect. After we finished our drinks I went in search for our waiter once again. He was nowhere to be found, so I asked another server if we could order a salad, she insisted on finding him for us. Out of nowhere he appeared, and I no longer had any patience. We asked to move tables, for a new server and this is where a true five star service started. We ended with a fantastic, attentive and friendly waiter. He brought us drinks in a timely manner, checked up on us often and reminded us that good service does exist, just not with our first server. Overall, the service needs some serious attention here. We are not sure we would visit again. There are many other places that have great service every time not just sometimes. Cheers!

We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were warmly greeted upon arrival. Champagne…read morewas served as soon as we were seated, and we were also treated to a complimentary baba ghanoush, which was excellent. We started with the bone marrow appetizer, and it was truly outstanding -- incredibly balanced, rich without being overwhelming, and so good we couldn't stop talking about it. We ordered the steak and eggs. The crunchy brioche, earthy mushroom purée, and beautifully sliced steak came together perfectly, and the saltiness of the caviar tied everything together in a really thoughtful way. The picanha was another standout! incredibly tender and full of flavor. We paired it with the broccolini and wagyu fat potatoes, both of which were absolutely delicious. To finish, we shared the ube cheesecake empanada. We were a bit hesitant at first, but it turned out to be the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. The cocktails throughout the night were also excellent. We enjoyed the restaurant so much that we brought friends back later the same week. That visit was just as impressive -- we ordered the tomahawk steak, garden salad, bone marrow (again!), steak and eggs, truffle fries, broccolini, carrots, and tried all of the desserts. Once again, everything was delicious across the board. The only area for improvement would be the service. Everyone was kind and attentive, but at times too quick to clear plates and not proactive enough with the next course. At a restaurant of this caliber, I'd expect the dessert menu to be offered immediately after plates are cleared, rather than needing to track down a server. Overall, the food is exceptional, and we'll absolutely be back.

Mashed potatoes was delicious, I am happy that I've ordered. Picanha did not taste picanha at all, but it was ok. Fries, nothing special.

Although interesting for a Russian menu- which I have not had in years. The ambiance is super luxurious, like a nightclub. There is a long bar area with multiple colored lights. Our table for 6 had chairs & a couch with pillows. Like a Lounge. On the right side of the bar was a DJ spinning music. There is an outdoor patio on the lake as well. I did get up & dance for a bit- but there wasn't much room for the dance floor. I would consider going back for lunch when it's quiet & order off their menu. I did get the shrimp kabob & hubby got lamb kabob. Both very good. Obviously, too full for dessert.

But I like the original menu, so made a note to have dinner there soon. Cut to this past week and we took out my aunt and mother-in-law for the aunts birthday. They like classy places with international menus so Beluga was perfect. It was a great night. The waitress recommended the beef stroganoff and it was a great call. The appetizers, spicy carrots and potato salad, were excellent. We got desserts as well. The Strudel was really good. At one point they asked us to write wishes on spot dishes and after we all did a dance in a circle they were thrown on the ground. It was the best spot I ate this year so far. We will be back soon enough, at least for a drink. Check out their tiramisu martini.

The ambiance is very upscale, welcoming, and sets the tone for a memorable visit. Joey the bartender was very professional, kind, extremely welcoming and very apologetic for the Happy Hour lounge being closed the day I visited which was bit disappointing. However, my friend and I still decided to stay and enjoy a cocktail. As we were leaving, we met Tommy the manager, who was just as nice & gave us a tour of the dinner area which I would love to try one day. He briefly chatted with us and gave us his business card. Everything about this place was top-tier. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy night out with exceptional service or just a few appetizers & a cocktail.

Elysium is not merely a restaurant. It's an experience that quietly transcends the boundary between…read moredining and storytelling. From the moment we walked in and were handed a glass of prosecco, it was clear this would be something different. There was an intentionality to everything--the pacing, the ambiance, the way each course was introduced. It didn't feel transactional. It felt ceremonial. Each of the six courses represented a different European destination (Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Greece), and what made it extraordinary wasn't just the quality of the food--which was exceptional--but the way the environment transformed alongside it. Lighting, visuals, sound, and narration worked together in a way that made every dish feel contextual and meaningful, rather than simply plated. Every part of this immersive experience contained instruments working in harmony to amplify the meaning of each course. The courses were beautifully composed and balanced. Nothing felt excessive or forced. Each plate served a purpose in the broader narrative, and each wine or cocktail pairing elevated the dish rather than competing with it. What stood out most, though, was how present it made you feel. In a world where most dinners blur together, this one didn't. Time slowed down. You became immersed. Fully engaged. The service was impeccable--attentive, warm, and deeply knowledgeable without ever feeling rehearsed or overbearing. You felt guided, not served. Tommy (the owner/proprietor) and his staff were unquestionably five-stars. By the end, you remembered how it felt to be transported somewhere else without ever boarding a plane. It's worth every moment.

I like that their cooked food is covered and not accessible to the public. A few things I think they can improve: enough with sending text messages after checkout and saying I got a free cookie when nobody (cashiers or I) know how to redeem it. It's silly and irritating. I don't need a free cookie, but if you are offering then make it accessible somehow. Second, allow me to order what you have at the store while I am sitting at your tables. I come to have a napoleon. Why can't I order it if you are selling it in the store? This is so illogical. There is parking as the store is in a plaza. Prices are higher than usual, but it's probably the location. They have a good selection of cooked food, baked goods and grocery. The service is generally friendly.

Phenomenal. Food is outrageous…read more Recommend: oysters Rockefeller, bolognese pasta, truffle pasta, beef Wellington, whipped potatoes (I could have had the entire thing it was so amazing) and broccolini. Tip: pastas are small. Almost half portions. We ordered a few and split them family style (ordered 3 for 6 people and had to order more). Beef Wellington - - while I thought it was weird to order, SO glad we did. It was so tender and cooked perfect. They also cut it for you so you don't need to worry about it! Ambiance is amazing but you NEED reservations. Also need to make sure you are either on time or if you are at the bar next door, you check in if you are running behind.

We have tried all of Thomas Keller's restaurants and ultimately everything turned out to be very…read moregood but never great. This is how I would describe the Surf Club. The menu consists of well known dishes but there are no surprises - everything is cooked well and tasty but not memorable. The best dish is the Ceasar's salad which is prepared table side, using raw eggs (!) and is a must-order simply for the show. Everything seemed to order it. The crab cakes were very good - crispy crust and big chunks of crab with a spicy mayo on the side - worth it. Lumache Alla Vodka was also good, with the pasta cooked just right and a nice spicy kick to the sauce. The almonds on the European Sea Bass made the fish - toasted and slightly caramelized paired with a very good sea bass. Get it if you are in the mood. The oysters Rockefeller are simply ok but not worth reordering. The chocolate layer cake was also very good but not extraordinary and typically of any good pastry shop's version. Finally the service is what you would expect of a Michelin Star, which was precise and well executed although our waiter has a pretty bland personality compared to the guy serving the table next to us.

Very disappointing experience at FamFre Restaurant…read more We brought a valid $100 gift certificate (purchased as a Christmas gift after the restaurant opened as recorded in a newspaper article celebrating their grand opening in July, 2025) and the owner refused to honor it, claiming it was from a "previous owner." The gift certificate had a picture of the same name and icon that is pictured on his restaurant sign. He then lied and contradicted himself by accusing us--without any proof--of already using it multiple times, which is completely untrue. Poor customer relations of a local restaurant . Instead, he offered only a 10% discount, would not acknowledge the $100 already purchased with this restaurant and was rude throughout the interaction. I would be very cautious about purchasing gift certificates here.
