They will not take a reservation for 6. Reservations 1 to 4.

Whew...I’m glad someone else said it. Mezzaluna among the worst meals I’ve ever had anywhere. Yuk!

Had dinner at Miz Kathi Southern Cotillion - not as good as Rose Plantation. While the service was good, the food was mediocre. The Fried Green Tomatoes are far, far better at Turners Kitchen. The dessert cake, while looked good was nothing to rave about. The decor was old and antiquated like it should be but it felt and looked "dirty." Would suggest they use lace paper place mats so the table setting looks nicer / cleaner and hides the old piece of glass. Miz Kathi is a good place to try one time or bring a young lady out - ONE TIME - but don't plan to return.

What is amazing in TV--how so many restaurants still manage to stay in business with the garbage they sell as food--

Here's my list
Hacienda Hills
Mezzulana
The Chinese restaurant/Japanese restaurant--Pinellas Plaza
Guy Fieri
and as of late ---The Lighthouse
