Always AWESOME! Great staff! We've been going there for 10 years consistently; have always had a very good time. The food is always consistently good.
The best meal we've had, end to end, in a long time. Outstanding service. Outstanding food. Gotta love 1/2 price bottles of wine on Wednesday nights. Always, there is something that I can pick apart and critique when I go out to eat. Not this time. Truly. Fabulous. Oh, and did I mention that they know how to make a damn good and authentic béarnaise? Oh my.
This restaurant had just reopened after the hurricane damage . It looked new. It does get busy so reservations recommended. Everything tasted great especially the coconut shrimp. The filet was cooked to perfection and the fish was delicious. My favorite part was their key lime pie. It was upside down and layered. Good selection of wine with decent prices. Our waiter Peter was very nice and we enjoyed our conversation with him. His recommendations were all great!
Solid 4 stars for Middle Grounds Grill. The dirty Tito vodka martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives were superb. The mussels appetizer was plentiful and flavorful. Lots of restaurants equate bigger as better, but foodies know that the smaller mussels are more flavorful, and there were plenty in the appetizer. I was going to go with the chef special of the day ,filet mignon tips ($32) until I was as informed they are served medium well. I like my filet mignon so rare a good vet could save it. So I switched to the 8oz filet mignon ($40). What really floored me was the 40 yr old "Tawny" port. Verrry smooooth. Our server, Ellin, definitely deserves 5 stars. She was fantastic. Overall I felt that the dishes ( & drinks) were slightly overpriced. That being said, I'll definitely eat here again. The reason for 4 stars? The sauces. The garlic wine sauce on the mussels was bland, The coconut shrimp sauce did not pair well with the shrimp, and the sauce for the filet mignon was awful. Fortunately all these sauces were on the side so you could bypass them if you wish.
