“We were greeted warmly and our waitress, Danielle, was excellent! My husband a had the Rueben and coleslaw and I had the Italian sub. I tried the mash-sweet potatoes and will always order this!The only disappointment was the carrot cake dessert-at $9, it was a spice cake, rather than an authentic carrot cake.“
“My whole family loves the food there. I hate when people says something is authentic. If you arent from the countries that make the food, you don't know if it's authentic or not, so I won't say that, but I will say the food is delicious and the service is terrific. You get your food super fast and it's always fresh. My wife also loves the margaritas.Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a ramp up to the front door.“
“This was our first visit to 221 since the redesign. My wife and I have enjoyed cocktails on their rooftop terrace many times, and their cocktails are of the best in the area. If you are a whiskey aficionado, 221 has the most robust selection of whiskeys for 45 miles, the kind of selection I would expect from a whiskey bar in a major city. The main restaurant is now long and narrow, with a dark ambiance that really sets the tone for a special meal. From the back of the restaurant, it looks like a place that sits between two skyscrapers in a major city, as if you could walk outside onto the streets of Chicago. There is something romantic--in both meanings of the word--about being tucked away like this for dinner and a drink with someone special. My wife had a French 75 (and a second), and I had the Brown Butter Old Fashioned. She enjoyed hers, I enjoyed mine. The Brown Butter is what you would imagine to be a butterscotch cocktail to taste like, minus the sweetness, which I enjoyed. Our server, Maya, was wonderful. A minor hiccup, I asked for a one ounce sample of the Sea Salt Stout and she brought me a full pint. I chuckled and explained that I was only looking for a taste, which she allowed me, and then removed it from the table. We were not charged for it, of course. This was our first time having their filet mignon. I've had filets everywhere, I consider it the bread-and-butter of restaurants that dedicate an entire page of their menu to beef. Some restaurants over-complicate a filet, like drowning it in a moat of (insert broth here) or cover it in some clever but ridiculous glaze. I was happy to see there were no parlor tricks here. What was delivered was what was expected, and their chef delivered a medium-rare finish of the highest standard. We spoke briefly with the owner, who recognized us from our last visit for cocktails over the summer. 221 remains one of the top tier fine dining restaurants in St. Joe, and you should certainly check it out.“
“Had the prime rib and they cooked just fine, pink in the middle and warm throughout. The horseradish sauce was somewhat weak, I prefer mine opens my sinuses. I'll ask if they have something is stronger. The rest of the party enjoyed the dishes, mostly Mexican. Will go here again.“
“My wife an I walked in and my first thought was, "The Place is beautiful"! The staff an the music playing in the background was superb. I felt so relaxed, the booths are nicely personalized with high back rests. The lighting was very peaceful!! Papa Vino's Italian Kitchen is by far, thee best eatery establishment I've been to!!! An the food was excellent ??“
“We spent St Patrick's Day with fun late lunch lots of really good food salmon potato skins corned ribs corned beef egg rolls delicious cocktails fabulous service from Amy great great host Matthew couldn't have been a better time it's always fun “
“The server was excellent. The noise level was a little high. Recommend installing noise-canceling pictures...etc. The stuffed shrimp was excellent. I asked if everything was fresh and the server stated "yes". Nothing is Frozen? No.Not sure about the lobster tail as it was tough. Possibly it was just overcooked.I will return soon to see if the food is the same or if this was just an off night.“
“221 has the best cocktails in town hands down. The bartenders are extremely knowledgeable.The food is excellent, the only negative is that spicy dishes aren’t as spicy as I would like, but I think that’s catering to local tastes. The steaks (I’ve had ribeye and top sirloin) have all been great, very tender. I give them bonus points for cooking them appropriately, if I order medium rare, I get actual medium rare, not medium. Try the BC Ribeye, awesome meal.“
