01.23.11 3 Months open! Apologies for the length between updates. Fortunately, we've been busy, but unfortunately, this page hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Every week gets busier and busier and now we are officially in season. We have had lots of press and great things to share that we'll link to below. Things have been fun and exciting since we opened 3 months ago, we've learned a lot, we've had a lot of very pleased guests and some really positive and constructive feedback. But we're still only 3 months old so the past 3 months has been a bit of a constant focus on tweaking and improving as we learn what works well and what could be better in the challenges of being a new restaurant that is trying to create amazing dining experiences for everyone. It's a fun ride and we have a great dedicated staff, so we are only more excited for what the future brings!

10.24.10 3 days open! Thanks so far to everyone that has come out to support us! We couldn't be happier with our staff and all the people that have been so encouraging so far. A big thank you to everyone that has helped us get to this point! We look forward to the famous Ft. Lauderdale boat show next week and seeing the restaurant grow busier and busier. Hope to see everyone soon!

10.07.10 We have an official opening date! Thursday October 21st! Mark your calendar. It's been a fun process getting here and we couldn't be more excited to open! We've hired a great staff and we're putting in the final touches and will be ready for business in 2 weeks! We will begin taking reservations on Monday Oct. 11th. (The open table link should be available on Monday if not sooner and of course you can always call). More menu options will be up on the website early next week. We look forward to having you dine with us!

09.10.10 We've had some minor delays that have unfortunately moved our opening back a little longer then anticipated. On the positive side the extra time has given us opportunities to visit a lot of farms and find key partners to bring you the best food possible. You can check out some of those highlights on our facebook page. At this point a lot of the progress is reliant on others. Inspections to sign off on, licences to get approved, etc. So at the moment, it's not easy to pin point an exact schedule. Please know we are doing everything in our power to get open by Mid October. We can't wait to be open for business! We will update the site and our mailing list as soon as we have our exact opening date.

Also just want to throw out a big thank you to everyone that has reached out to us in anticipation of our opening, we really appreciate the interest!

08.03.10 We're getting closer to open everyday! We are about two weeks out from being completed with the renovations. It's so exciting to think all these months of planning will finally be a reality and instead of looking at concrete and drywall, we'll look like a fun, lively, restaurant ready for business! But in the meanwhile, we want to share a couple of nice articless in the last couple of days:

Dine Magazine did a very nice write up about our dining in the dark. Quote: "While it’s a great concept and I’m all for using high quality ingredients, I’m really into experiencing ‘Dining in the Dark’ — an exciting option that will be offered at the restaurant. The moment you turn one of your senses off, your others are heightened. What used to be an ordinary combination of textures and flavors, has suddenly become an event to experience." Couldn't have said it better ourselves. We're excited to have her! Link to full article.

Clean Plate Charlie, food blog for our local New Times, also wrote a blurb about our upcoming opening. Link to article

07.24.10: We are in the home stretch and everything is coming along great. Next week we'll be trying to get all our contractors to meet our Aug 1st deadline. Wish us luck! Our goal is by the end of the first or second week of August, we'll be able to put everything together for the interior and we'll finally get to see what all these months of planning will look like! We can't wait. We'll post pictures as soon as they're available.
