Best Date Night Restaurants in East Lake

I wanted to try this place because it has the same owner as The Black Pearl and Sonder Social Club which are both very decent places. It is brand new and it didn’t disappoint. We tried the whipped ricotta, the arancini “tater tots” and the bone in pork chop. All were solid and enough for me to be happy to come back and try other things. Also the price on the drinks was very good in comparison to other places so I definitely think this is a new and hidden gem. I imagine it will build up a nice loyal group of regulars soon.

Highly recommend this restaurant! The food is always excellent as well as the service and ambiance. Rivals any Italian Restaurant in the Tampa Bay area.

Our server Nick S. was great. The food was great. I had a NY strip and my wife had the flatbread. When they did not have the ice wine , we got comped some 20 yr. port and my Glenlivet. Had the creme brulee for dessert and it was excellent. Our second time there and will be back, hopefully we will have Nick as our server again.

My wife had a very good Rigatoni alla Bolognese (fresh red sauce with meat). I had Lasagna Napoletana which had a very fresh red tomato sauce. Nice ambiance. There was a piano player playing softly. My wife also enjoyed her Rum cake. Only improvement I would suggest would be to serve the food more timely. We were with a couple we had not seen in awhile, so it did not bother us much.

Sallies continues to amaze us. The chef delivered 6 meals to our table that were beautifully presented, the sauces delectable, and the portions perfect. We love the intimate feeling and that you can hear your table mates during discussions. Desserts were so unique and tasty too. We truly love breaking bread with friends and family at Sallies. The owners are truly delightful!
