We ended up doing the Date Night for Two, A Seafood Experience. We tried the conch fritters, absolutely delicious. The mango wasabi on them was fantastic. For the item to share we chose the crab and olive oil pizza. This was great as well. The crust and flavors were fantastic. I ordered the crab spaghetti, which was really nice with a little heat from the red peppers. For desert we did the poached pear in a reduction that was to die for. A small scoop of ice cream and whip cream to tie all the flavors together. It was like Christmas. The staff were great. Very attentive and friendly. Very knowledgeable and able to explain the dishes very well.

The pasta dish was ok. The cheese was so congealed it was like an omelette. I could lift it out of the dish. I'm sure it's better hot and fresh but I don't recommend it as a to go item. I ate some bit saved the rest. The next time I ate it, I reheated it and added more chicken :) It's pretty basic. No complimentary bread. No included salads.

They had very loud music compared to what we normally hear walking by, which was pretty annoying to try to talk. We ordered a ton of small plates to share with the table and there were so many to choose from! The tuna tartare was everyone's favorite but we liked everything. We also ordered the Arancini but that came out after the picture was taken. We had 3 adults and we didn't even finish everything we ordered. The service was great from the host stand, our server, and food runners. The dining area was clean and once the sun went down, they opened the side walls to make it a large open space. We will definitely come back. Our only issue was that the music was just so obnoxiously loud and it made it hard to have a conversation without yelling.

Leroy's Fish Shack which occupied the former Village Fish Market, was still under renovation. We stop by next door, to the Village BrewHouse. This is off season and we were able to get an inside table with gulf view without any waiting time for lunch. As soon as we were seated, the place started to fill up. The hostess was friendly and waitress was great. We opted for the inside seating due to Floridian heat. We ordered Blueberry Waffle, Cod Tacos and Fajita wrap with French Fries and fresh fruit. The food was good. The Blueberries were very sweet; the Fajita wrap was tasty. The Cod was Lightly breaded and fried with power slaw, Pico de Gallo, and remoulade. This is a nice place for lunch or dinner with an excellent water view. It was fun sitting by the water and watching the boats! Service during the week dates are fine!

I'm addition to us, other lunchers were happy to enjoy dining as well. Our servers, Dawn and team were a delight, on point with drinks, appetizers, entrees! They do go all out in even providing orchids and lemons to accompany your water glasses! Such a creative touch. We had a few new comers, and new attendees to our lunch who had never or haven't been in a while, attended before that I was thrilled and honor to have them join us. The food was as always delicious, drinks refreshing and quenching, service superb! After lunch we were given a tour by Aimee of the entire Sun Seeker Resort. Up to the Blue Level 6, meeting Jada for an orientation of services. Some of our girls continued on the tour with Aimee, for room tours, SPA, and other amenities!

Oysters yumm, shrimp cocktail tasty, coconut shrimp not so good, hard on the outside mushy on the inside. The drinks were pleasant for my friends. For me the Jamaican dark rum never was served that I asked for. The salmon patty sandwich special missed the mark. A mahi fish taco was skimpy filled, tasted ok. The dessert was really poor & way pricey ... coconut cream tart was all whip cream topping. The musical entertainment was great by Adriana McDonald & made the evening more enjoyable. The Parking...We had free valet parking because we were eating there we thought, but my friend pulled up and they told her it was not free and that she needed to park in the self Park so she had a lot farther to walk which I thought was kind of screwy. Please let us know what's up with that? After dinner we wandered to the rooftop to see the view at sunset. It was very beautiful up top.

I also appreciated that they had a few vegan options on the menu, making it easy for everyone to find something they'd enjoy. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxed, perfect for a waterfront lunch. The only thing I'd mention is that it was a little chilly inside with the A/C, so I'd recommend bringing a hoodie if you're planning to dine indoors. Overall, great food, good vibes, and definitely worth checking out if you're in the Punta Gorda area!

We didn't have a reservation so we had to dine inside. There was zero air movement and the doors were closed. There was a lady by the window, I would imagine warmer and she had sweat running down her face. We thought it was a drink and run because all of us run cold but it was h-o-t. But within maybe 20 minutes air started flowing. So someone got the message across. 2. The table was soaked with water from being what looks like washed. The hostess sat the menus on the tables and the menu became glued to the table. I used my napkin to dry the table and all the menus. 3. We ordered sushi, fish tacos and a hamburger. The fish tacos came out very fast. That was great for the 1st while the rest waited. He felt bad that everyone else was waiting so he offered his side of beans and rice for others to taste. All agreed the beans were tasteless - zero flavor. 4. Then comes the hamburger. Cooked perfectly and was ok but nothing to remember. The beans, as well, tasteless (no one at the table wanted to try again) and the rice was at the bottom on the pan because it was so crunchy, we thought it was old. 5. After I finished my hamburger, here comes the sushi. I heard it was ok but nothing amazing and nothing they were return to have there again. It was cooked good but the flavors were a big miss. I do believe they are fairly new to this location and perhaps working out all the wrinkles. So I post this to hopefully help them do just that. I will be back as I'm at the Village often. I think the next time, I will might just sit at the bar.

There is a couples menu where you can share an appetizer and dessert and choose two different entrées for $55. However, that shared menu is a little bit limited for what we wanted. We decided to order the jazzy mussels as an appetizer and two pieces of their rendition of bang bang shrimp. The shrimp is per piece and they are fairly large; We decided to just have one each and it was probably the best thing on the menu. I could eat ten of those. It was very lightly breaded and the sauce was what you would expect; like a sweet and sour Asian sauce. The mussels, I was skeptical of, because I wasn't certain I would like the broth. However, they were actually really good. I don't typically prefer a southern style sauce, but it was done very well. It had pieces of Andouille sausage and lots of corn. Although it was tasty, the mussels were overcooked as you could see they were so shrunken in their shells and super salty. For dinner, I ordered the beef Wellington and it came out cut in half, face up, with gravy all over it. That's not my preferred presentation as I don't think the gravy was necessary. The steak was a nice piece and cooked to my liking. The puff pastry was crisp and there was plenty of mushroom paste inside. The gravy really turned me off though. I added salt and wished for no gravy. The green beans, which was my side vegetable, would be commonly overlooked at many restaurants. But I found that the green beans were crisp and delicious and well seasoned. The baked potato was standard fare; it was baked with a side of butter and sour cream, and it was really good. I love a good baked potato. It was not one of those huge baked potatoes that you find at some steakhouses where you can only eat half and take the rest home. It was a regular sized baked potato. We had a couple cocktails, the special whiskey sour, the Diana Krall, the Caribbean espresso, martini and some sort of lavender vodka Collins style cocktail, I can't remember the name. All of the cocktails were really good. The wine list looked like decent prices and some well-known bottles were very well priced. We opted against dessert as we were super full. Ambience was spot on with the jazz band playing in the background; we were still able to converse and did not have to yell. The restaurant was quite full as the night went on. This is a well liked place. Parking was easy, there's a lot out front with plenty of spaces. Bathrooms were simple yet clean. As I mentioned, we were well taken care of by our server. The cocktails were great. The food was good. I would recommend this place for the ambiance/music/cocktails and the shrimp appetizer. I'm sure there is something better on the menu that I could try next time- like a fish dish. My friend had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and was satisfied. 3.5/5 stars overall.
