First of all this is not the Abbey. The Abbey has great food and an identity. This place was basically heralded as the second coming of Christ . On all levels it is a complete disappointment. The food is not good , and the service is worse. I waited 45 minutes for my entree and an additional half an hour for wine. Its a restaurant, a sports bar , a gelato bar, a nightclub , a lounge all rolled into one big mess. Its like they looked at every business on Wilton Drive and said let me copy your business. I have been more than once and its the same s$it. The size and scale are impressive and grand. The finishes are cheap at best. Ikea furniture mixed with dollar bathroom tiles, mixed with Home Depot lighting fixtures. Theres nothing wrong with those places, but dont market yourself as an upscale venue with 13 dollar watered down drinks without using quality finishes. The nightclub portion is open to the restaurant so you smell food as you dance. The soundsystem is very muffled. Overall its just strange. Georgies has an identity, Rosies has an identity, this has none. Im not the typical Wilton Manors customer so my expectations may be higher but come off it. Last year when Living Room opened it really brought an upscale element to nightlife. If their attempt was to compete with Living Room they failed miserably. Having been to The Abbey many times I can say that the Abbey feels old and worn. Like its been there all along. The Manor seems like brand new construction trying to look old. If they dont do some quick adjustments I cant imagine it lasting. I for one will not go back.

Great fun time!!!!

Rosies is great on a Sunday. Good food , quirky decor. Has a niche and fills it. No pretension here. Always a good time.

Cheap drinks

This place has been around forever. Great , strong cheap drinks. for a casual Thursday serves a purpose.
