“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“Fantastic Diner, We first visited Guppys when it was a Blue Shack at the side of the beach, on our second visit over to Florida a few years later, we decided go and find the little blue shack where we had an amazing fish dish with the lovely owners we found by accident and was amazed to see the transformation,, It's now a proper upmarket restaurant still with fantastic fresh food and valet parking with the same friendly family staff. Well worth a driving out to even if you're not close by, it would be the first point to visit on our return.“

Shawna the owner is also the sweetest, we love supporting her and her business and can’t wait to visit again soon!“

“My son took me to Little To Jo for my birthday. It was one of the most pleasant meals out i have had in a long time. The food was exceptional and the plates were over flowing. The wait staff were courteous, smiling and trying to please. The decor was calm and you could talk to your dinner companions. I had a wonderful conversation with the table next to us. I will definitely go there again. It is one of the best restaurants in my area.“

“Thai Bistro was our first stop on vacation and wow were we surprised! Not only was the food amazing, the customer service and hospitality were incredible! We told the owner that we had never been here before and she explained her favorite recipes with enthusiasm and incredible detail. The owner is passionate about making the food / each plate/ delicious and fresh. Impressive hearing about where she finds the very best ingredients and we loved hearing about the legacy of some of these recipes. When she brought out our food, she also brought a plate of spices, all homemade. Highly recommend! (Pictured below: pineapple fried rice in a grilled pineapple)“

“We stopped in for the first time this afternoon. They provided the best pizza I remember. The crust is just right, proper crisp, chewy, flavorful. The sauce is a masterpiece, the best I've had since I moved to the area 30 some years ago. Toppings are spot on. I highly recommend this place as The Goto place for a good pie!“

“From the moment I stepped into Blaze Pizza, it felt like I had wandered into a little world of magic—warm, welcoming, and full of joy. The sparkle of the experience truly came from Tiffany, who felt like a fairy godmother of customer service. With her bright smile, kindness, and cheerful energy, she instantly made the place feel special.

As my pizza was crafted, it felt less like an order and more like a magical creation coming to life. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made, but it was Tiffany’s enchanting attitude that made the experience unforgettable. She turned an ordinary visit into something straight out of a Disney dream.

If you’re looking for more than just great pizza—if you want a little magic with your meal—Blaze Pizza is the place to go, especially when Tiffany is there to make your day shine. ✨🍕“

He offered any kind of assistance that he possibly could give to make my day better and he did. He also showed concern of my well being , which meant a lot to me as a customer. Donald exhibited Excellent customer service skills, and I'm sure his managers will be proud of him.Thank you“

“We actually visited the Nick and Moe's that houses Quizno's, and picked up some wings, tenders, and chicken sandwiches. As always, they were friendly, with delicious food at an excellent value! Nick and Moe's is my favorite place to stop when I'm in town!“

“Neat health food spot offering smoothies, salads, wraps, sandwiches, & smoothie bowls. Perfect for a post workout meal or light refreshing snack. I tried their Tequesta Dragon bowl with a very delicious dragonfruit base for the smoothie portion & tons of fresh berries on top with granola blended in between. The portions were pretty reasonable and the preparation was quick. In and out service is always the best. The staff was very friendly and had some great recommendations.“

“Naomi was awesome! We were missing an item from our order and she quickly expedited getting our missing nuggets! Thanks!“

“The overall service use to be amazing at this Olive Garden. We have come here several times over the years and this is the worst front staff I’ve ever experienced. I checked in and was told it would be a 15 minute wait and told them that I had people coming but instead of seating us after 25 minutes passed I came up to ask the pregnant hostess if they were waiting for my party or something because we’ve been waiting and she was like oh yeah yeah we are without so much as looking at me or apologizing for the wait. There were several of them up there that were just laughing and joking around unprofessionally and the pregnant hostess was eating up there talking with the other ladies at the podium while they ignored us. She disappeared completely for several minutes and after 30 minutes I asked a girl who showed up if we were going to be seated because my party was waiting. She said she would check because she just got there. She went to find the pregnant hostess and told her we were waiting 30 minutes and my daughter overheard her denying it. I’m just not used to that at any restaurant. If you tell me 15 minutes and it’s not busy in there then we have better be seated whether we are waiting for people to arrive or not. It put me in such a terrible mood that I wanted to leave but thankfully our waiter came right away and was amazing. He was very attentive and kind and I felt he deserved a good tip. What made me write this review was when we left there were a gaggle of women at the front with the pregnant hostess and we all noticed that they just stared at us and didn’t say the usual thank you have a good night. No one bothered to politely open the door like they have always done for us in the past. You just knew that they we’re talking bad about you. If this is what this Olive Garden restaurant is turning into then I have to stop coming. I don’t know what’s up with those women but this is their place of work not a place to gossip and bullshit about their life or talk shit about their paying customers who are there to be treated with some measure of respect and kindness when they are out with their family for dinner. I hope a manager sees this review and addresses this issue of plain rudeness. We are also not white and so obviously white people were being treated better and seated immediately. By the way, our pregnant hostess was black but for some reason thinks it’s ok to be rude to us. If this ever happens to us again, a complaint will definitely be filed to your corporate management or the BBB. I will not tolerate this behavior in front of my family.“

“I love how Marianne assisted me today and made my bowl so well, she took the time to make sure it was the way I liked it. I love this Cava I go here once a week with my daughter and Marianne showed me how to get points too which is great. Everyone should go to this Cava!!!“

“I went once and I am hooked! Fresh and tasty! The tzatziki sauce is made daily tastes just like in Greece. Best of all the service is outstanding! I always feel happy when I’m here. The music is fun and relaxing. Great for any night you don’t feel like cooking! 10 out of 10! Don’t skip the baklava or chocolate mousse! The young lady Kenia that works pm shifts spreads joy with her smile and gets things done right!“
