I asked if I could order the short ribs without the shrimp and was told that they would and they double up on the other protein all the time. So I got the short ribs and a standard salad, the wife got the crostini's with goat cheese and scallops. All of the food was excellent, we had enough to take home for another meal. Ambiance was down home worm feeling and I will definitely go back for those special days. Our bill was $109.00 plus tax and tip for two people with one alcoholic beverage.

We'll Bryce the bartender, served it to me in a little plastic cup, I looked at him and said 'for real'!! I told him they were supposed to be served in a martini glass! He said they didn't have any at the moment! I said how come the lady opposite me had a martini glass? So he proceeds to find a cordial glass to put martini in. So the bar was not busy, maybe 8 people there. I just can't believe that a supposedly nice roof top bar would have a bartender like that. I only hope he was in training, because I dont think the bar will make if he a regular bartender.

The food was absolutely delicious, although all our meals did not come out at the same time and we had a wait a few minutes till my daughter-in-law got her meal, it was hot and cooked to perfection tho. I had the best arugula salad ever, perfectly balanced with the tomatoes, red roasted peppers, blue cheese, and balsamic dressing, and also the beef tenderloin skewers, which were cooked, medium rare and served with crispy potatoes that were seasoned spot on, just enough to make it a delightful dinner! My daughter-in-law had the swordfish which she said was very tasty, my son-in-law had the chicken Christina, which he devoured, and my husband had the cheese raviolis and meatballs, which were on the children's menu, but they said they could give him the adult size portion, which he also enjoyed. I tasted his meatballs and sometimes they are not the best everywhere, these were very good. I normally do take pictures of the food, but I forgot because we were so hungry and dug in as soon as we got our meals, but the presentation was very satisfying. The only negatives were, the music was very loud, and we could barely have a conversation, only when the band took a break, and our waitress didn't put much effort into being friendly or going the extra mile. Had to tell her to get my husband, ice, lemons for our water, and remind her about my daughter-in-law's meal that we were waiting for a couple times. Overall, would definitely go back there and recommend!

A MUST when I'm in Punta Gorda!…read more My friend moved to Punta Gorda a couple of years ago. I've visited her 3 times, and we make sure to come here every time I'm in town. The bar/restaurant is located right on the water with great views! The parking lot is also the same lot used by the adjacent hotel, so it can sometimes be hard to find a park, depending on the day and time. It's a mixture of great outdoor spaces as well as covered spaces. There's also a private event space that's really nice as well. I've been at night as well as during the day and have enjoyed every experience. The staff is friendly and great! I even fell, I mean face-planted, one evening, and the staff made sure to check on me and see if I needed medical attention. The menu is pretty straightforward, and the bar is your basic bar. They have a drink menu, but a full bar as well. Everything is also well-priced. I haven't ordered food, so I can't give a review of the food. I will definitely be back on my next visit to PG!

Our server was pleasant, but did not return to find out if we wanted more beverages and almost as an afterthought, asked if we wanted anything else before bringing our Bill. I knew it would be very busy because it was Easter Sunday and the end of season here. All in all, it was a good time and I will return.

Got outside immediately. Nice covered and uncovered outdoor seating areas. The uncovered area has tables with umbrellas to shade the sun. Karaoke night had some talented singers. I was impressed. Crowd got a bit sketchy as the day began to turn into night. Biker guys with club vests wandering around. One guy had a huge crescent wrench hanging out of his back pocket....I'm pretty sure he wasn't there as a mechanic. Where I'm from, that's a weapon. Beers were cold. Bartenders were busy but quick and efficient. Prices were reasonable. I'd come back but beware of the crowd as the hours get later in the night.

I still love Fisherman's Village and it's been some time since I visited…read more When we visited was after Xmas, but I am still thinking about all things Xmas. It was a nice surprise to see how decked up Fisherman's Village is. Def a place to get into the Christmas spirit. So many decorations and fun photo ops everywhere. We walk throughout the area, the have lots of shops, cafe, ice cream and restaurants and a tiki bar. You can also take a sunset boat tour. They also have nice water views. This is def a great place to visit for all and especially at Xmas. A new restaurant is opening the second week of January 2026 too towards the very end after all the shops. Just keep on walking. This is also dog friendly so we are happy to walk our dog here. Half is shaded half not and there is plenty of free parking in the lot next to it. 4 stars bc prices can def be tourist prices.

We waited about an hour on a Friday before spring break because we wanted a dockside seat! Worth it! 4 or 5 different brews on tap.. We sat outside & enjoyed the view--boats, gulls, & fish just steps away. We started with onion rings & fish dip. Both tasty. Hubby & son had the fried shrimp special with one side. Hubby loved his coleslaw (mayo based) & son's rice was a small portion. I had a grouper Rueben--delicious fish but not very ruebenish--no sauerkraut--coleslaw instead. Fries & pickle were crisp. You're supposed to toss your shrimp tails to the gulls! They catch them mid-air! All the staff was friendly & accommodating. A must stop spot!

Regulars pull up their boats to the small floating docks. Others arrive by car and parked in the unpaved lot or on the side of the dirt road. The thatched tiki added to the Old Florida charm. I bellied up to the bar outside. The weather was perfect for it. I started with a half dozen snots on a rock. Plump and slightly briny. A good choice. My single crab cake appetizer was too much cake and not enough crab. The remoulade sauce was unnecessary. I added another starter of their Captains Catch chowder. Had everything they promised but far too starchy.Service was quick from the two barkeeps. The highlight of this place is the journey and destination no matter how you get there. I imagine other items on the menu are deserving of accolades but what I tried just wasn't quite there.

It was freezing that night so we basically ran from the hotel to the restaurant because there's no way to get there other than outside. We were seated immediately, without a reservation. It was Sunday and not too busy. Around 7:30pm. I was done drinking for the day but my husband got a cocktail called Devilfish and enjoyed it. Not sure why that name but I was an attractive looking cocktail. I wanted crab cakes. I'm surprised the price for the crab cake has not changed in years. I saw on old pics of the menu that it was $19. Well, it's still $19 and I find that absolutely remarkable. They did not disappoint; full of crab and a nice crispy crust. The radish garnish was pretty and edible, but plain. The house complimentary bread had a lovely rosemary salt on top. I had the 10oz black angus filet. It was perfectly cooked. It's a thick cut of meat so I did add a little salt. The roasted garlic accompaniment was fantastic. I milked all of that. The gratin potatoes were so cheesy and delicious. My husband had the seabass filet with the almond crust over green beans. It was phenomenal. The crust they achieved on the fish was so good. We opted for dessert- the creme brûlée. It was served with espresso ice cream and some chocolate pieces on top. Pretty good! I like that it was slightly warm in the middle under a thick sugary crust. Service was excellent and food was fantastic. We packed up our leftovers. Bathrooms are clean. Bar looks nice. Would definitely eat here again.

Party of one and I was seated right away in the bar area. Charlotte was my server and she was great. I asked for her recommendations, which all sounded amazing, but I went with the grilled prawns, 6 oz filet, mashed potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. Here's my honest breakdown: Grilled prawns 3/5. The first bite had that perfect charred, grilled flavor... so good. But the second one didn't hit the same. Steak 5/5. Absolutely buttery, tender, and honestly didn't even need a knife. Chef's kiss. Mashed potatoes 4/5. Really good, just a touch too much garlic for my liking. Brussels sprouts 2/5. This one disappointed me. The cheese wasn't melted and the glaze was way too sweet. I only managed a couple bites and left the rest, which says a lot because I love Brussels sprouts. Now let's talk about that bread and butter... chef's kiss all over again. Creamy, whipped, and just downright delicious. I would gladly take that to go. Overall, it's a solid, typical steakhouse experience. Nothing over the top, but definitely some highlights. One suggestion though... please add key lime pie to the menu. That should be a staple at any restaurant in Florida, just saying.
