Mangrove Grill & Bar

4 of us visited the Mangrove Grill recently, and did not have a good experience. First of all we had to wait for a hostess for several minutes although there were plenty of open tables. We got the tuna appertizer and there were only 4 small pieces and some lettuce, for $10 I expected more. Two in our party ordered steak and two ordered fish. One of the fish dishes was definately spoiled, with a very stong odor and taste. When we brought it to the servers attention she said it was the seasoning. The tenderloin was not cooked properly and for close to $5 per ounce it should have been near perfect. The only highlight was the warm bread and pesto. Dinner for 4 with 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine, two appetizers and 0 desserts was $200.00. This restaurant is not recommended.

About one of the best restaurants I've ever been to, the Mangrove Grill restaurant is just that. The best... voted the best new restaurants in Florida and I believe that it will continue to Flourish. And talking about the service, I never had bad service, wether sitting at the bar due to restaurant being full and having no where else to sit, or being waited on by one of the better servers at the mangrove, Dominic, this restaurant has it all... I,ve had this server many of times and I can assure you he is more than helpful and very attentive to details. Don't discriminate until you have tried for yourselves. I give this restaurant a 10 because mainly the exceptional food but nontheless the service. I came accross this website and had to write review about it, and for those with bad experience give it another try. Trust me you'll get worst service at outback more often then the mangrove grill.....

Four of us dined here in December '05. We were very pleased. Service was very nice,food was delicious,good atmosphere. It is a bit pricey,but a good dining experience sometimes makes you forget that!! \t\nThe same four of us tried again on Mothers Day this past week. We were very disappointed. To say the service was not up to par is a serious understatement. Portions weren't that great. It was just wasn't the same restaurant. Management needs to do some work here. \t\n
