The business is run by Italians Silvia and Franco and on our night, assisted by grandson Alessandro. In the day it is a well stocked wine retail establishment with additional specialty items curated from Italy. But they offer a dining experience for up to 12 at 6:30pm The menu is set by Chef Franco and he will shop the finest local ingredients that day. Some of the shelf stable items are sourced from Italy like flour and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The entire experience feels as if you are visiting a good friend in Italy. We normally eat early and fast. At this experience we savored each course and paired it with wines suggested by Silvia and others in our party who had an interest in wine. Every bite was wonderful. We finished at 9:30pm and felt perfectly satisfied. The next morning my wife and I both noticed no reflux. To me that is the hallmark of high quality food and wine well prepared and enjoyed despite eating later than usual. Treat yourselves for a very special occasion.

Great mixture of select wine and foods from Italy. Sylvia was so nice and informative; offering wine to pair with our orders along with detailed explanations of Italian cooking and courtier. We were the only ones dining for lunch so we had a lovely time. The food parade started with the Zucchini Blossom (filled with mozzarella cheese) - OMG was that delicious. On to the next tapa was the Summer Capri - OMG 2 with an 18yo balsamic. Next up was the Pizza Alta Pisana - hands down THE BEST pizza we've EVER had. Made with the same 72hr dough as the Focaccia and with grated parmigiana cheese instead of mozzarella. Half with capers and drizzled with EVOO. Sylvia suggested Moscato for my sweet tooth queen and me a cab blend that was hearty without the sulfates. For the grand finale, we had homemade Profiteroles with cream and dark chocolate. Grand slam! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS FINE ESTABLISHMENT for lunch or dinner. Call for reservations Thank you Franco and Sylvia - we'll see you soon

**INITIAL REVIEW**…read more Initially, I found Frazier Creek Brewing and Distilling (which I will shorthand simply to Frazier Creek for the remainder of this review) through my adventuring, specifically the Treasure Coast Wine, Ale & Spirits Trail. Though not the first brewery in Martin County, it is the first "brewstillery" in which it serves as both a brewery and distillery. Wanting to check in at another location on the aforementioned trail, I have to say this place is pretty good, but since I went early afternoon (I work 3rd shift at the time), it isn't exactly the most active place to be at. And to be fair, the same goes for the other brewery I went to at this time (Ocean Republic). Ergo, this initial review will be based on a visit between noontime and 3 p.m. In short, too early to be at a brewery, but the only time I could go because of my working shift. Though an address is provided, Frazier Creek is located in Mayfair Plaza on US-1 (Federal Hwy.). If it helps, it is the business that seems to have a "watchtower" rising up from its entrance like a sentinal. Upon entering, you're greeted to a nice open space that hints this place was probably an extreme sporting goods vendor or business in its past. Why I say that? Because of all the decks on the wall used to highlight Frazier Creek's drink menu. I sat at the bar which was optimally observed by the cute bartender, and I understand why it was minimal as it was, as aforementioned, "too early to be in a brewery" and there were like only one or two more patrons inside besides me. Nevertheless, the bartender was attentive and gave me drinks based on how I was feeling at the time as well as the fact it was still early afternoon. So for me, lighter beers. I would not drink a heavy stout or IPA this "early" in the day. What I did have were three drinks they always have on tap, two alcoholic so I had them in 4 oz. tasters and one that was non-alcoholic so I had a regular 8 oz. glass. Must stress I was hitting up the locales in the Treasure Coast Wine, Spirit & Ale trail in Martin County so I can't get all happy at ONE location, right? I had the Stuart Shandy and Zero Gravity Sour in the 4 oz. tasters. The former had more of the grapefruit flavor over the lemonade flavor, but it was delightfully sour. As for the latter, I enjoyed that one more because I prefer oranges as my citrus of choice. And to "fill in the gap" without having too much alcohol since I would be drinking mead next (Hani Honey Co.), I had their root beer, too. That was good too, but I am more of a cream soda kind of guy, and since sugar is in everything, I have a thing for Olipop, Virgil's, and Poppi flavors. So far, not one brewery has made a sugar free root beer (yet). As for the last part of food and drink, there was no formal food menu I saw, but they did have either a collaboration or something "in house" outside of the actual brewery and distillery was served for food: fish dip. There were two versions I got, and I ate one with Ritz crackers at the bar. Fantastic. Definitely home made and independent given the price point, but I am more than willing to pay to help support it. As for the other dip, it was good too once I opened and finished it back home. On a sidenote, the restrooms - at least the men's restroom - was decently clean and stocked. Nothing out of the norm. Given the fact I showed up during a time I don't expect the full service and experience Frazier Creek has to offer, I can only rate my visit(s) for what they offer at the time I went which is three out of five stars. Now I must stress that is actually not bad as they hit all the main points on serving a customer during a time when they are "down" and "slow." I don't expect them, or any brewery/distillery/meadery/etc. to bend over backwards for me when I show up at 1 p.m. on a weekday. But I will also say that for many places, doing just the basics is a chore during that time, so the fact Frazier Creek did, I applaud you all. Now that I am working a normal schedule, I can truly come by during your peak hours and see what Frazier Creek has to offer. I did see they were preparing for a cornhole tournament when I left, and I would have loved to stay to smash the competition, but a las, responsibilities over pleasure when in the midst of a workweek. If Frazier Creek is consistent with what they provided during the early afternoon, plus whatever they do during their peak hours, I'll definitely update this review.

We arrived before 5:30 on a Thursday and the place was starting to fill up. The restaurant/ full bar has high ceilings, open area seating partitioned by potted fake plants and a mix of high tops and tables. Colorful murals and bright cobalt blue tiles splashed through white brick walls. Luke was quick to bring waters and take our drink orders. He explained the menus and offered his favorites when asked. We asked about "aji amarillo" and he explained it was one of their several accompanying sauces. He promptly brought a sample in a ramekin with two spoons. It was very good. Mild and similar to a weak but flavorful mustard colored chili sauce. Other sauces included hot honey and cilantro & garlic aioli, great on their chicken and bbq ribs, my selected entree. The bird was deliciously moist and seasoned. The half chicken was cut up in manageable pieces and plated with French fries, a fairly good slaw and the other part of the duo; the bbq ribs. The sauce was sweet and sticky- and the meat pulled nicely from the bone. The entree was substantial. My wife's build your own bowl started with pulled chicken and your choice of additional ingredients. The bowl was a very good mix of flavors and textures and enough left for a take home meal. The menu is full of chef selections, handhelds, soups and salads and bowls. They offer happy hour drinks and apps until 6p and Mon- Thur there are select specials. We will definitely return with friends and may even try their weekend brunch.

Since we enjoy breweries as well as trivia, we decided to check out Hop Life brewery, and we're not disappointed. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed two flights of beer which included at least six different selections. We enjoyed almost all of them. A nice variety of flavors, colors and styles. I then switched to a full pint of the one I liked the best which happened to be the Calypso Bay. This beer is a fairly hoppy imperial beer with noticeable citrus notes . It has high ABV as well. I found it to be excellent. The menu seemed to include many diverse choices. From what I observed most of the food looked really good. Since we were really not that hungry, we decided to go with a margarita flatbread. A really good choice I definitely would recommend it. As for the trivia, it was well run, and competitive. We enjoyed it immensely. As luck would have it, we finished in first place! The only downside to this was that we were awarded a $50 gift card and advised we could not use it that day. We explained that we were in town temporarily and did not live in Florida. After some discussion with the bartender who consulted with her manager. They allowed us to use $25 of the $50. I would've preferred to be able to use the entire gift card that day since we are not sure when we would be returning. We were told that the card did not expire. It would've been nice if they made that exception for us. The overall experience, quality of the beer, food selection, and the trivia were excellent. We will not hold the incident regarding the gift card against them and will definitely be back the next time we are in Port St. Lucie.
