Always our First Night in Town “GO TO” Place. Very professional staff, managers always stopping by to say welcome back and the Food! Prime Rib was cooked to perfection and tender. The side of macaroni and cheese was so delicious, we ordered one to go. We will return every two weeks with friends and family. Best food in SWF hands down. The bar is always inviting, even when dining alone or a few drinks. Well staffed and always someone to engage in fun conversation. Met some very kind and fun people. Opening soon in Naples, you won’t be disappointed.

Much to our dismay a reservation for an advertised buffet with carving stations /extensive salad bar /appetizers/sides/ desserts became an omelette bar with breakfast sides -which though good , was not what we expected ! apparently the advertised Xmas Buffet was from two years ago and we barely made the cut for the breakfast buffet ! our reservation was for 11 AM and the breakfast Buffet stopped serving at 11 AM. We were seated since we showed our confirmed reservation! Staff was confused n it took a bit to sort it all out. Never have had trouble with open table reservation before but this was a mess!!!
