    Never disappointed with Bella Brava. The food, service and atmosphere are top notch. Being able to dine outside with the Christmas hustle and bustle, gorgeously decorated Palm Trees with Santa in the Park was icing on the cake.

    real quality - perfectly cooked - ordered another fried-shrimp mid-meal and it was delivered in minutes ... the staff is right-on.. Matched with a Pilsner, my Fried Grouper and Shrimp and in-house-made slaw, the best ever.. The structure is a single family house and courtyard with picnic tables. the sign out-front is a little indiscreet so ya'gotta look for it , but they are expanding to a much-more public glass-storefront across the street for desert and baked goods. A well done local find.

    We enjoyed our dining experience at ParkShore. We started with a drink at the bar which was great. Then to our table, where Reese was our server. We had great food and service. This restaurant has been here for 18 years so definitely a reliable choice - it was busy, so highly recommend a reservation. You could tell it was a local favorite. Alaskan King Crab legs and Beef Wellington were awesome!

    We shared a New York strip and it was cooked perfectly and so delicious. One of the things we always love about Ruth Chris is the hot sizzling plate with the delicious butter on your steak. The chop salad is one of our favorites and of course good old standard baked potato on the side. our server was Mary Beth, and she was very attentive and did a great job.
