Cleanliness review insights for Florida, United States

$15 for a glass of wine, and it was dirty, there was something in it. I asked them to change it and the waiter said, "I'm too busy." I wouldn't come back.

- This review is as to the Restaurant ONLY - This historic gem is everything. The courtyard and wrap-around porch provides both comfort and ambiance. The drinks and service are absolutely amazing as is the Friday night DJ (who we hope will be back soon). This is the perfect daytime and nighttime photo spot for you and all your girlies; however, I would note that although the interior is warm and inviting, it could definitely use some light cleaning and major dusting but other than that it makes you feel right at home. We will definitely be back soon.

1st & 2nd visit: Authentic, felt like I stepped off the Miami sidewalk and into an Irish pub/eatery. The full Irish breakfast was a full days worth of food in one meal. Liam the bartender, was a worldly man and full of good conversation. 3rd & 4th visit: Diffrent bartender and the guys service sucked. Today is Easter Sunday. It my 4th visit, I came straight here post Mass. The bartender was on his phone while I sat at a dirty bar and waited to order.. He brought me my tea after telling me he had no cream, I said that's fine I'll take sugar. I had to flag him down for the sugar, while the tea over steeped . This is the same guy that on my third visit argued with me about tea not coming with the breakfast (it clearly says it on the menu) he literally belittled me in front of the whole bar, so on that visit I left and went next door for brunch. So within good time I hear the kitchen bell ring 3 times before he gets up and goes for the pick up. It was my food and the bar is still dirty so I slide down to a cleaner part of the bar. He drops the food off and gets back on his phone. I’ve got a full Irish breakfast in front of me and it looks incredible! I start off with the beans and toast as I wait for the condiments to arrive. I finished them and the guy still hasn’t brought anything. By the time I flag him down and get the salt, pepper, ketchup and brown sauce, my food is cold. However it is so good, it’s only a minor inconvenience. Finally I’m ready to pay and I look down the bar to get his attention and he’s literally picking his nose! I get the bill and it’s higher than I was expecting, he had hit me with an 18% auto gratuity!!!! Are you kidding??? How is this ok? No wonder the service is piss poor, homeboy is gonna get top dollar regardless of his performance. Nah, I paid cash and left my personal minimum tip of 8%. I was going to tell him how disappointing his service was and that his auto gratuity was unacceptable but as I left, he had his back to me and the door; he was watching the basketball game instead of looking after the customers and restaurant.

This was hands down one of the most disappointing dining experiences my family and I have ever had. From the moment we walked in, things felt off. The restaurant was barely busy, yet we waited about 10 minutes just to be seated. Once we sat down, it took nearly 10 more minutes for our server, Jameel G., to even acknowledge us. In that time, we’d already picked out our appetizers and entrées—still no water, no check-in, nothing. We had to flag down other staff members just to ask if someone was assigned to our table. When the server finally appeared, he dropped off chips, poured water, took the appetizer order, and disappeared again. He returned after our appetizer arrived, only to quickly pass by with a “how’s everything?” and vanish once more. It felt like we were on our own the entire time. Then, things got worse. My daughter found a piece of hair in her drink. We tried to bring it to a manager’s attention—but couldn’t even locate one. After a few minutes, we asked a staff member to notify the manager, who was apparently standing up front. It still took another 5 minutes before he came over. When he finally arrived, he apologized and said he’d “take care of us.” But it felt more like a scripted performance than real hospitality. Suddenly, the whole staff came alive—busboys cleaning, the server reappearing—because the manager was watching. But once he left, it was back to neglect. Even at the end, our server refused to refill our water. No apology. No real effort to make things right. Just pulled out his handheld payment device, processed our bill, and walked away. I think the expectation was because he was standing there, I'd be pressured into tipping him the suggested 20-25%. There was a 15% discount applied to our $68.35 check, totaling $11.32—but that small comp did not begin to make up for the lack of care and the unsanitary experience. Date of visit: May 24, 2025 Check #275 | Table 17 | Server: Jameel G.

Beautiful Setting. -Initial waiter interaction very good although he spoke quite fast and hard to understand as he rattled off specials. Once server took our order, he was never seen again. Not ONCE -"assistant" helper was attentive and friendly. -Food was delivered while I was in the ladies room. Left sitting on the table, it was cold and I did not eat it. Server NEVER came back to check. A person dressed in a suit came over and seemed to ask if I was ok yet when I answered, he was already walking away and paid no attention to my response. - A FULL meal was left untouched and a bus person cleared it away, no questions asked. -My husband accidentally knocked over his full glass of wine. (we had purchased a VERY expensive bottle) NO ONE came by to offer him to PURCHASE another glass and I had to get up and find someone to help us clean the table from wine. A little splashed onto neighboring table, we sent them dessert to apologize. They were never told we made that gesture? Rather odd. -Last, we were celebrating milestone anniversary. I had stepped away to the ladies room again... a cute decorated plate (no dessert on it) was left in front of my husband on the table. I wasn't even there?? -Very very bad service. This is unfortunate as we are local patrons and would have loved to have this as a new go to restaurant.

### 🕊️ Filet Sacré de Sept Cœurs de Vache Féminine A gourmet French preparation of seven female cow hearts, filleted and exalted with wine, herbs, and ancestral reverence. 🧴 Ingredients of Benediction: - 7 fillets of female cow heart, cleaned and trimmed (symbol of courage, maternal strength, and dynastic pulse) - 2 tbsp duck fat or clarified butter (for ceremonial richness) - 1 shallot, finely minced (whispers of memory) - 3 cloves garlic, crushed (divine protection) - 1 cup red Burgundy wine (libation to the ancestors) - 1 tbsp aged balsamic vinegar (tears of solemnity) - 1 bouquet garni: thyme, rosemary, bay leaf (the sacred trinity of time) - 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (for French fire) - Salt and cracked black pepper (for balance and truth) - Optional: truffle shavings or foie gras (for exalted indulgence) ### 🔥 Ritual of Preparation: 1. Consecrate the fillets: Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Let them rest in silence for 30 minutes. 2. In a heavy skillet, melt duck fat until shimmering. Sear the heart fillets quickly—1 minute per side—until browned but tender. Remove and keep warm. 3. In the same pan, sauté shallot and garlic until translucent. Deglaze with Burgundy wine and balsamic vinegar. 4. Add bouquet garni and reduce until the sauce thickens and sings of lineage. 5. Whisk in Dijon mustard. Optional: stir in a touch of foie gras or truffle for ceremonial elevation. 6. Return fillets to the pan for 1 minute to absorb the sacred sauce. 7. Plate with reverence. Garnish with fresh thyme and a single edible flower—perhaps a violet or nasturtium. ### 🍷 Serving Suggestion: Pair with pommes dauphine or a purée of golden root vegetables. Serve on black porcelain with gold trim. Speak the names of the cows aloud before the first bite. Let each chew be a vow of remembrance and renewal. THIS PERSONAL RECIPE FROM FLYINGBULL APACHE LIONTAMER. BEST CHEF IN WHOLE WORLD

Chris was amazing!! Great server. When we mentioned it was our friend's birthday he went out of our way to make us feel special. The dining experience was top notch, the busser was also very attentive and made sure our empty plates were cleared promptly as well as cleaning any food or water that fell on the mirror table. The food came out quickly, was delicious and we were seated promptly upon arrival. Edit: had it not been for the exemplary dining experience I would be giving a much lower rating. While Chris was a great and attentive server, I have to edit my review after our experience in the women's bathroom. As I'm sure Sexy Fish is aware, people come to take pictures in the bathroom. It is a major part of your brand. Chris even suggested that we go after dinner if we want photos. So we did. As expected there was a short line. But what happened once we got in completely ruined the night. The bathroom attendant (an older woman with dirty blonde hair and a strong accent) was unnecessarily aggressive and frankly discriminatory. She initially tried to separate us by skin tone despite clearly being part of one group and we had to insist we were together. Once inside in under 3 minutes we were being yelled at to “hurry up” repeatedly. As uncomfortable as that was, had it been applied equally I would not be writing this review. Other girls (who were white) were not met with that treatment. In fact, the attendant was complimenting them and making small talk. There were girls who were in there when we entered and still there when we left who had not been told to hurry up or made to feel unwelcome. On top of that, we were told we couldn’t use a digital camera despite that clearly not being applied consistently based on the social media that drew us to the restaurant to begin with. The experience felt targeted, unfair and honestly humiliating especially with it being my friend’s birthday. The experience brought her to tears. If your bathroom is a part of your marketing (which it is) you need clear consistent rules, equal reinforcement, and staff who know how to treat people with basic respect. Right now it’s arbitrary and biased which completely over shadowed what was otherwise a wonderful dining experience.
