"We have been to Pandora's before, but not for several years because we live more than an hour away. However, it's a great steak place and it was my wife's birthday so we made it a day at the beach followed by dinner. We made the reservation because it is spring break and the start of the tourist season so we wanted to make sure we had a table. At 5:30 PM, we were the first ones there, and had the place to ourselves until other patrons started arriving around 6PM, and I expect the beach crowd did not get there until later after we left. We ate indoors, but when we left, we noted there was a pretty good crowd at the outdoor bar."

"Made reservations for 17 but only had 15...no one blinked a eye like other restaurants we've been to. Seated as best they could so all could talk with one another..not easy to do with that number. Service was excellent..waitress almost read our minds as we looked over the menu. She made suggestions and we all agreed with them. Food was very good...way too much...but now have enough for another dinner at home. Love that! Enjoyed the room they sat us in till family arrived with small children, even a baby. Their noise was magnified by the high decorated ceiling which we had just began to appreciate. Pandora's is on our 'must go to list' for next year when we all Winter here."

"The steak and the service were great, the soup and salad were not. I think this place would benefit from a visit from Robert Irvine from Restaurant Impossible to freshen up the interior decor!!!"

"We'd heard many rave reviews from friends about Pandora's, but hadn't visited the restaurant until recently. We wish we'd gone sooner! The food was scrumptious, the wait staff incredibly attentive and the overall experience was just wonderful. We'll definitely be going back soon. And for those of you who enjoy a sweet alcoholic beverage, I highly recommend the Absolut Chocotini. It's fantastically delicious!"
