    Bread pudding with lemon amaretto sauce.
    Peter Y.

    I had a cup of their shrimp gumbo, which was very good, and a chicken salad sandwich. Dessert was a very good bread pudding with lemon amaretto sauce.

    Al fresco dining, 83, light ocean breeze, beautiful...

    This is an adorable little ladies cafe, a few blocks from the sea, set in a fabulous lux tropical garden setting. You want to do lunch here when the weather is perfect, sun shining, flowing dress, sun glasses on... It's housed in a beautiful, dreamy stucco, southern style building/an old railway building, in old downtown Pensacola, Florida, the trains still roll by, you can see them from the gorgeous, garden surround patio, the light salty sea breeze & Magnolias lingering in the air.. Inside is very chic, beautifully designed, however it's the outdoor patio setting that is très magnifique ! When entering, you park in a private courtyard garden & walk right up to the umbrella lined patio where you will find a large stone fountain. (didn't have any water in it while I was there thou) However, a very beautiful historic area in the city of 5 flags: Spain, France, Britain, the Confederacy, and US Flags have all flown here... FYI: It's attached to high end shopping/home furnishing/unique shopping. So, if your planning on doing some high end retail therapy or just want to Fanny about with the ladies & have a Decadent Dessert & coffee lunch or a Pink Champagne lunch, Jo's is a real feminine treat after a morning hunt for unique petit treasures! Arrrrr! After the "hunt & gathering" you should have worked up quite a thirst & appetite, if not, your not doing it right ladies. The menu is simple. Soup, salads, quiche, sammies, a Charcuterie & wine & Champagne. Teas, lemonades & coffees. Decadent desserts. Service, Food, Ambiance. All a class act. A perfect shopping trip & treat with the Ladies? Pink Champagne & Charcuterie, on the patio, at Jo's as always... Hours: Monday - Saturday 10:30 - 2:30 850.466.5136 Highly recommend.

    Visiting my sister here in Pensacola and she wanted to treat me to lunch which was lovely. She brought me here and so glad she did! Very nice (and I would say feminine) lunch spot. There were a few men there but was predominantly ladies doing lunch. Evidently they are only open for lunch until 2:30. We started with some soup and moved onto one of their specialities which was baked Chicken Salad (we're in the South Ya'll) with a side of fruit and lemon poppyseed bread. Had a couple of Mimosas as well. Very nice!

    The best hidden gem in Pensacola! The cutest cafe with greenery and modern, southern decor. The champagne chicken salad is divine. The shrimp and shells are always fresh and make for a delicious lunch miles from the beach. The poppyseed dressing poured over the fresh fruit is the best combination. And ALWAYS end your meal with the bread pudding + whiskey sauce. I've never had bread pudding before but dream about this one everyday. This restaurant is a great place to meet your friends for a happy lunch! My two very young children loved the bread pudding so much today that the owner sent them home with their own

Today, however, they missed the mark and I feel compelled to provide some constructive criticism, as I wouldn't want to see this otherwise good restaurant fail. I had the Caprese Sandwich with Grilled Chicken + Caesar Salad and sparkling water, which cost me $40 with the tip. Rather pricey for a lunch, but it's Friday and I felt like treating myself, so no big deal. Except the food was rather underwhelming, and unnecessarily so. It felt as if they had the right idea and the right ingredients but failed pretty miserably in the execution. First, the sandwich. I picked it up and drove straight to work (5 min drive), which apparently was enough time for the bread to become completely saturated with water from the burrata cheese, to the point where it looked and had the texture of soggy bread pudding and it was entirely impossible to hold it together. I had to eat it with a fork, which was inconvenient and disappointing. This seems like a very obvious recipe flaw, as the burrata has high moisture content and needs to be coupled with a more sturdy bread, such as a focaccia. Overall, I'd give it 1/5 for presentation. Moving onto the chicken. It was cooked very well and the taste was there, but it looked extremely unappealing, as it was almost entirely BLACK and not because it was burned, but because it was just fully covered in charcoal specks, presumably from the grill, which perhaps hadn't been cleaned in a while. I specifically asked for the grilled and NOT blackened chicken, so I was very confused and initially thought that they just cooked it the wrong way, but upon closer inspection, it became obvious to me the black specks were not seasoning but plain charcoal residue. To make matters worse, these specks had contaminated all the other ingredients as well, which I found pretty gross. It certainly did not meet basic expectations, especially for the price point. I'd give it 2/5, because it was edible and the chicken was otherwise well cooked and flavored, even if a bit gross to look at. Additionally, both the sandwich and side salad were heavily drenched in sauce/dressing. The l Caesar salad, which was very small (about the size of a small cup of soup), had very few pierces of lettuce mixed in with a disproportionately large amount of dressing and cheese, which was not only very overpowering but it made the salad really soggy. It basically felt like eating plain Caesar dressing. 2/5 because the dressing tasted good, but there was simply too much of it, and since it was already mixed in, I couldn't fix it in any way. I ended up not eating it. I hope the owners can see this and pass it onto their chefs/cooks, as I've met them and I know they're very sweet and caring people. Everyone can have a bad day, and I'm hoping this was just a one-off, and everything will be great again next time.

    Cafe Single Fin: Great Concept, Average Plate…read more Cafe Single Fin is one of those places where the experience starts before you even find the restaurant. I drove around the block several times looking for it. Turns out, the restaurant is tucked inside a surf and skateboard shop. Once I finally figured that out, I walked in and immediately knew this wasn't going to be your average Pensacola lunch. The cafe is basically the centerpiece of the shop, surrounded by some seriously interesting vibes. I was greeted by scream-o music, which eventually segued into coffeehouse music and then some lighter indie stuff. Quite the musical journey. I half expected the playlist to ask me to pick a lane. What drew me in was the menu. Clean, interesting and exactly the kind of thing that makes you think, OK, these people might be onto something. I went with the blackened mahi tacos with rice and beans. And this is where things got a little less interesting. The food was fresh. The presentation was nice. Unfortunately, the flavor never really showed up for work. The mahi was supposed to be blackened, but I'm not convinced the blackening seasoning actually made it from the kitchen to the plate. The beans were also undercooked and under-seasoned. Nothing was bad, exactly. It just lacked the punch that the menu had promised. And that's the frustrating part. There is clearly a cool concept here, and the menu has enough personality to make you expect something memorable. The plate just didn't deliver the same energy as the room. Maybe I'm simply outside the target demographic. There seemed to be a pretty strong twenty-something surf/skate crowd, and perhaps I'm just not fluent in the culinary dialect of that demographic yet. Interesting place. Interesting concept. Interesting vibes. Friendly/helpful staff. Pretty average food.

DH said his scallops were delicious, but lacked the promised orange flavor. Funny/not funny, eating the crudo left me disappointed and wishing for a better experience. I actually continued to think about it when I got home, it bothered me that much. Not sure what the restaurant could have done differently...as they say, timing is everything! $216 + tip = $258.19 for dinner for 2...I should not leave disappointed.

I was seated in the middle of the bar with customers on both sides of me. My server took my drink and food order, and after that, she never returned to check on me. I watched her walk past me several times while attending to the customers directly to my left and right. Not once did she ask how my food was, whether I needed another drink, a box, or my check. Eventually, another server noticed my frustration and asked if I needed anything. I told him I needed a box and my check and explained that my server had never returned to check on me. His response was, "We are all working the bar." That response was unnecessary and dismissive. If everyone was working the bar, it makes it even more confusing that I sat there for so long without anyone checking on me. A simple, "I'm sorry about that. Let me take care of you," would have been the appropriate response. I understand restaurants get busy, and I don't expect perfection. However, basic attentiveness and customer service should be expected, especially when a customer is sitting directly at the bar. Unfortunately, this experience was very disappointing.
