    One of the most special dining experiences ever! We brought people from out of town to impress them and A.P. never disappoints. Everything was perfect, a little chilly but I wouldn’t miss sitting outside for anything! Mark, who is there every night, is amazing and adds to the evening in the best way. He is personable & a gifted guitarist!! The food, branzino was melt in your mouth delicious and the caesar salad was one of the best I’ve ever eaten!! The cocktails were perfect and the wine complimented the food! I can’t wait to go back!!

    Ambiance was wonderful, food was marginal at best which was disappointing. The menu was a bit odd, not many items grabbed our attention. Music was nice, service was good.

    The guitar player was absolutely amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed him. The service was quite curt and not very friendly The food was good but the meal was very expensive when you include a bottle of wine.

    We have always enjoyed Arnold Palmers but tonight the food was very disappointing. My husband’s meatloaf was a crumbled mess and my short ribs were not very good either. The service was very good, but not the food and of course the prices were higher than usual. 🙁
