    From the hostess who greeted us to Bryce behind the bar and our server David, the service was exceptional. The food was very good as well and the setting at sunset was beautiful. While a bit on the expensive side (except for the wine) the overall experience was great.

    Everything at Villani’s was incredible! We had the fried green tomatoes, grouper, and calamari for starters. My husband enjoyed the perfectly cooked bone in ribeye, I had crab cakes and my daughter had the grilled grouper. We topped it off with the key lime dessert. There were lots of leftovers which held up to additional reheating. The drinks and atmosphere were also great. The location makes it perfect for an after dinner walk.
