- Description
- New restaurant in Webster. It looks nice inside but the food is average at best. Raw oysters are stuck in the shell because they don't shuck them correctly - they must do this in the morning also because they're very dry. They have a nice bar with televisions ad such. My wife got a glass of wine but they serve it in a tiny little glass. — Ditto on the oysters. I had high hopes as the place is close to my house. — The food was just...plain and awfull.... — Great restaurant/Great food! My family and I eat there once a week (sometimes more). Between the four of us, we've tried almost everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. I'm impressed enough with the quality and presentation of the food that I'm having a banquet there in several months. Oh yea, besides the good food, the entertainment is fun! We bring our out-of-town friends and family there whenever they visit. Thanks to the owner for bringing Sanibel to Webster/Penfield! P.S. Never tried the oysters. — Great food & Great staff! We almost passed up this place because of the first 3 comments but had to find out for ourselves. 3 of us stopped in without reservations on a busy night. The owner seated us in the tavern within 3 minutes after the hostess said it would be 45 minutes. That was unexpected and appreciated. I had 2 Gold Margaritas for $7 each and 6 shrimp for $3.95. I wasn't expecting anything great because of the price but I was impressed again. Having been on Sanibel Island I was tempted to order the conch fritters and grouper but went for a medium rare prime rib. It was thick, tasty and juicy! The baked potato was also perfect and the side of au jus added to the flavor of the meat. Dessert was a delicous warm slice of granny smith apple pie with caramel. I was full but couldn't pass it up. It was a nice size large enough to share yet not too big for one person. We felt very welcome here and look forward to going back often. The prices are very resonable! Thanks Kevin! — My take on this place is that it has an identity crisis. The atmosphere and ambiance are great. The description of the dishes in the menu along with the descriptions of their specials sound upscale. Everything is great until the food comes.
