Such a nice little touch, and it was actually good. While looking over the menu, I also loved seeing that they offer senior citizen specials. I'm already looking forward to coming back with my mom--she loves fresh seafood! The biggest reason I'll be returning, though, is the seafood selection and the fact that you don't have to get everything fried. That is a HUGE plus for me. I ordered the blackened stuffed flounder, and it was packed with flavor and extremely fresh. The two sides I chose were delicious as well, (cheese grits, sweet potato) and the selection of sides on the menu is extensive, so there are plenty of options to choose from. I also ordered a glass of white wine, which came in the prettiest glass. The atmosphere is another thing I really liked. It can be slightly dressy or super casual, making it a great spot for different occasions. I also loved having both booth and table seating options. My friend and I had amazing service from start to finish. Between the prices, portions, service, ambiance, and flavor of everything we tried, this was an easy 5/5 stars for me. Definitely looking forward to coming back!

I will definitely add this restaurant to my "go-to list." Go check them out!

Pair it with the crème fraîche on either the toasted bread or the chips, and muah perfection! Personally, I preferred it with the chips since I found the toasted bread a little too salty. * The Tuna Carpaccio was a surprising 10/10. We sliced it into strips, making sure each bite had the comb crisps, basil aioli, yuzu aioli, Florida sterlet caviar, micro arugula, and mushrooms. Oh my god! the flavors were incredible. The tuna made each bite light and refreshing, while all the other ingredients layered together beautifully, revealing new flavors as you kept chewing. * The oysters were another 10/10. They were incredibly fresh, and pairing them with the sorbet created such a refreshing combination. The kimchi dropper was just okay, I was hoping for more heat. The mignonette dropper, though, was absolutely delicious and complemented the oysters perfectly. * The Charred Octopus gets a 9/10. The octopus was wonderfully tender, but I wished the chorizo flavor came through more. The fregola was fantastic, it was satisfying and filling without feeling too heavy. * The Mussels Frites earns an 8/10. The fries were perfectly seasoned and honestly one of my favorite parts of the dish. The mussels were good, but like the octopus, I expected a stronger chorizo flavor. * The Burgundy Escargot is a solid 10/10. Absolutely delicious! The rich bone marrow melted in your mouth, and it paired so well with the escargot. Such a creative combination that worked beautifully. * The outdoor seating was wonderful! Even though it was raining, it was still very comfortable thanks to the fans nearby, so it never felt hot or humid. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxing, making it the perfect spot for a romantic date night, a special birthday celebration, or any gathering with family and friends. The overall vibe made the experience even more memorable. Lastly, a special shout-out to our server, Colette! She was wonderful from start to finish! She was always cheerful, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. She took the time to explain the dishes, answered all of our questions with a smile, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable.

It felt like I was chewing a tough rubber band 4) Fries- were Fried to perfection 5) Cole Slaw- normally a 10 out of 10 but today it was a miss. It was dry and under seasoned.

I attended a social gathering with @nicetomeetsocial where a curated group of people gather to get to meet and converse. It was pretty cool! I ordered the flounder Florentine with a chive & Brie sauce, steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes. Not pictured was my appetizer of fried green tomatoes with goat cheese...a first for me. The FGT were ok and a bit under seasoned, but the flounder and that sauce were great! Silky, creamy and tender! Our server was very kind and checked on us without hovering. Charity was helpful in offering suggestions, as well. Over all it was fun, good company and food. The parking leaves a lot to be desired where you're more than likely going to park along the street away from the restaurant.

I'm a regular at Eleven South and somehow only recently discovered that its sister restaurant, City Grill & Raw Bar, has been downtown for about three years. This feels like information someone should have shared with me sooner. My partner and I went before an event at the Florida Theatre and loved it. We split the Caesar salad and the New York strip with the Gorgonzola blue cheese topper. Both were excellent. The Manhattan was perfect, which immediately put everyone involved in my good graces. Cory was our waiter and was great -- cool, funny, attentive, and apparently an accomplished dessert salesman. He talked us into the bread pudding, despite the fact that neither of us needed bread pudding. Unfortunately, he was completely right. It was outstanding. The restaurant itself is also really cool, with several separate dining and drinking areas instead of one giant room, and the bar looked like somewhere I could very easily lose an additional hour. Valet parking made the whole downtown experience unusually painless. I still consider crossing the Intracoastal for dinner a significant commitment, but City Grill has officially become my go-to spot near downtown. Five stars. Cory gets at least one of them for the bread pudding scam.
