**** (4 stars)

One of the few “old style” restaurants left in Florida. Refined atmosphere, subdued lighting, and formal service. The menu leans toward foods that can be prepared by a sparingly staffed kitchen, I suspect because the guest load varies wildly when there is a convention in town. Sauces are generally good. For me the standout is the Venetian Salad, a complex blend of flavors and ingredients that includes fennel, tomato and asparagus.
