Sax - STONE HARBOR

We traveled almost an hour just to have the calamari and meatloaf at SAXS. The calamari was the best we have ever had and highly recommend it. The meatloaf wrapped in bacon was excellent! To top off our dinner we had their homemade ice cream. What a fantastic dinner! We can't wait to return !!!!! We give this restaurant a 5 star rating!

Good service and good ambiance. For the high price, I expected the food to be fabulous. It was good. Dinner for 2 (no appetizers, no dessert, 1 drink) was $150. Although pricey, I still recommend it if you want a quiet dinner in Stone Harbor. Most restaurants in Stone Harbor tend to be loud and busy. Sax is subdued.

The food and service were excellent. I highly recommend if you enjoy high quality food and are not on a budget. Costs were reasonable for the beach; however, it certainly was not a budget friendly meal. My biggest takeaway was you get what you pay for in restaurants. Charcuterie, salads, filet, sous vide chicken, chanterelle pasta special,and kids pasta were all superb. Desserts were decent portions and made in-house. I would absolutely dine here again. 

The service at SAX is excellent and I've never had a bad meal there. In fact most ratings on OpenTable are exaggerated, but I think SAX is fantastic: I make it a point to go there every time I'm in Avalon/Stone Harbor area.

Positives. Waitress Janiksa(sp) was superb. Professional, efficient but friendly. A gem. Cocktails. Well crafted. Our dinners were very good. Enjoyed the crispness of the cabbage under the sea bass but the flavor masked the delicate well prepared sea bass. Negative. Table placement. Sat at a two top on the wall. Space between our table and the neighbors was too tights. I was bumped multiple times through the course of the evening. Waitstaff knew how navigate the space but patrons not so much. Annoying. Avoid two tops on the wall next to another table.
