“Are kids welcome here?“

“We really enjoy Trivia Night. However, service is poor. We visit every Wednesday with our family. This past week was the worst service I’ve ever experienced. I was alone for a bit this week and had my laptop and books spread out on the table. It was impossible not to notice my setup. The waitress had one other table and it was right next to me. I waited over 30 minutes before going inside and ordering a drink. She said she didn’t see me. We made eye contact multiple times. I’m sure she probably thought the big party was a big tip. However, the rest of my family was joining me. We tip well, so definitely her loss.“

“My very first visit and I cannot wait to return. Everything from the moment we walked in till the moment we left was perfect. The service, food, atmosphere everything was wonderful. I highly recommend visiting, you will not be disappointed.“

“Great job @mikesellmeyer and his staff!“

“Food is horrible. I ordered the Bayou pasta. It was dry and it had no seasoning. All I tasted was noodles on the first bite. O, they charge 4 dollars for extra sauce for the pasta. Like really! If you ever had food in New Orleans, you will know this ain't it. I don't know what others see in the food. Maybe each location is different. I went to the one in Rockledge/Cocoa Beach, Fl area. All I know is that next time I am "Walking On" right passed this restaurant to another one that's better.... hopefully.“

“🤤🤗Amazing lunch at On Swann in Tampa today! They accommodated us with a lovely outdoor table for our dog Sofie. After our meal, our amazing server Caroline surprised us with a complimentary Bourbon Bread Pudding, which was incredible! Finishing up our Tampa tourist adventure.“

“Just had lunch there for my son's bday. Couldn't be more pleased. Clayton our server was so gracious and funny . for the amount of food we ordered with dessert. It came under $200.00 so much bang for your buck. Will be going back very soon.“

“Armature Works is one of the most dynamic and visually striking venues we’ve had the pleasure of performing at! The riverfront views, industrial-chic vibes, and modern amenities create such a cool and unforgettable atmosphere. The events team is professional, efficient, and great to collaborate with—making every event run smoothly from soundcheck to final song!“

“Went to the Tampa location for a family reunion on August 16, we couldn’t have been welcomed more warmly by the crew. Hannah was our server, she couldn’t have been nicer and more helpful. Highly recommend this restaurant for all events.“

“This place was so delicious, we came in twice in one week. So impressed with the quality of food and the ambiance. I have been a fan of Bern's Steak House since 2015, however, we have never eaten at their sister restaurant. Last week was our 1st time visiting Haven. It was our son's birthday and we decided to try this restaurant featuring New American small plates, wine & cocktails as per recommendation of my friend. Tuna Sashimi, Hamachi Sashimi, Shaved Beef Taco, Seared Foie Gras, Cheese platter and Coal Grilled Octopus as appetizers were all 10/10. As for the main course we opted in for Glacier 51 Sea Bass (O.M.G.), Arctic Char, 8oz Filet Mignon (perfectly trimmed) and 10 oz Dry-Aged Strip. Drinks, 'Margarita', 'Lemon Drop' and 'Moscow Mule', were good as well with the exception of the 'Duck Duck Jeep' (it was an odd one). We did not try their desserts (both times) as 1st time visiting we brought a cake for our son's birthday, however, we were never super impressed with Berns' dessert room. I know it may sound weird to many as they are known for their desserts, but truthfully, we have had desserts at other local restaurants that we prefer over Berns'. Service by Madeline K. was on point, however, she accidentally forgot to place the main course item for our birthday boy, so he ended up getting his filet about 15 minutes after everyone else received their meals. It did not spoil our night as she brought out the cake with large candle with sparkles and it was fantastic! Our son was so surprised and I was able to capture some awesome pictures of him with his cake and candles. Overall an excellent experience by everyone: valet guy, bussers, food runners, hostesses and the wait staff. We also appreciated the fact that we were seated at a larger table/couch with brighter lights vs more of a romantic, darker tables. Our second time we requested to sit outside which was nice as it was a pleasant evening. Haven's tacos are my husband's favorite in Tampa and we ordered 16 of them that night. If you are not up to dressing up in your best outfits, but would like a nice quality meal, Haven is your spot!“

“Amazing staff, great food and the manager came over and spoke to us on a personal level. Very nice. Servers Jennifer, Jamie were very attentive. Thank you for such a welcoming evening in your town. Tampa!!“

“Food and service were excellent!!!“

“Our server, Mili, was outstanding!! Extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. I had the smoke brisket melt with mac and cheese and my bride had pulled pork mac and cheese. Then to top it all off we shared the turtle brownie sundae. Every morsel, of everything, was over the top! Absolutely delicious!!!! I also told the manager how delighted we were of the entire experience!! Can't return soon enough!! Thanks, Mili!!! UDABEST!!“

“I just picked a high-rated spot near the office I’m working in today and struck gold. The hot and crunchy bowl with Ahi was 11/10. Food came out quickly and was generously portioned. Emily was my server and was very helpful and pleasant. Not a quiet spot if you’re looking for that, but otherwise is a great atmosphere.“

“such an amazing dining experience! from the service to the impeccable food everything from start to finish was amazing can not wait until my next trip down if you have not experienced this place you need to it is a must stop when you are in town!“

“Stopped in to give this spot a try & ordered the fancy sandwich. Omg so yummy😋 the bread is not store bought, must come from a local bakery. The green tomato, bacon made my taste buds so happy! Give this hidden gem a try, you will not be disappointed.“

“Fantastic brunch menu! Food was delicious, service was not rushed. Loved the Pumpkin Espresso Martini! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!“

“So glad that we discovered Willa this evening. Can't believe that we hadn't found it previously. But discovering it on a Sunday night turned out to be quite a treat. That is their half price wine bottle night as well as the buy one get one chicken schnitzel night. The schnitzel along with it s. Lemon/ dill potato salad were delicious but the focaccia bread starter may have been the star of the show. And then we followed up with some of their homemade, soft serve and absolutely incredible warm, delicious chocolate chip cookie. Our server, Duncan, was terrific. We will be back!!! Just sorry I did not make any pictures“

“Logan was our server and did a fantastic job helping us navigate the menu and signing up for the wine club. A wonderful delicious experience!“

“Kayley was so nice while my family was ordering. She was so patient while I was getting the order for my little kids. She always had a smile on her face and just such a positive attitude. She made this an enjoyable experience and I can’t say enough things positive about her. Kayley was very attentive to our table, we never had to ask for a new drink or anything like that. Kayley really made this experience pleasurable while going out to eat with little kids. We can’t wait to go back and see her again!“

“Doc B's is my go to restaurant for lunch in the Tampa Bay area. The menu is outstanding with fresh healthy offerings cooked to order. The service is fantastic and genuine and the prices are fair. I highly recommend that you give it a try. “

“I had such a great experience at Applebee’s! From start to finish, everything was excellent, but the highlight of the visit was our phenomenal bartender, Chloe. She was friendly, attentive, and made the experience feel personal and fun. Drinks were on point, service was fast, and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Truly a 10 out of 10 experience – I’ll definitely be coming back and asking for Chloe again!“

“Tried a new place this evening. It is called Beef & Sea located in Winthrop on W. Bloomingdale Ave. We had the French Dip Au Jus with their home sliced onion rings. OMG it was great! Give them a try and I guarantee that you won’t be disappointed. Great food and very friendly and attentive staff.“

“I didn’t know food soul food existed in Tampa. I was also surprised to find out she offers vegetarian options for us non-meat eaters. I came for a Friendsgiving event, and had the yams, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! Get your southern fix in and try M&R Cafe.“

“The dragonfruit curd dessert blew me away. Our salad was nice and fresh and the cauli crust pizza was spot on.“

“Ashley and Sky at Apollo Bistro were phenomenal during our visit. They went above and beyond to ensure our company group with TexiCoin, as well as other guests, were well taken care of. Their attentiveness, professionalism, and genuine kindness shined through every interaction. Both ladies greeted us with warm smiles and carried a welcoming presence that set the tone for an enjoyable evening.

It’s rare to find servers who combine efficiency with such a personable touch — Ashley and Sky are true assets to Apollo Bistro.“

“Julisa provided great sevice“

“The food here is amazing. Very classy high end place to go for a romantic dinner. We will go back again.“

“Awesome staff great food and atmosphere“

“This place will forever be a comfort meal destination for me. We always go overboard but rarely take home leftover due to the fact that everything is delicious. We usually start off with calamari which they do a different take on the dipping sauce (we love it). Our entrees usually consist of the mushroom ravioli, the meatballs, a pizza, and a French dip. This is shared amongst five people and we get a little bit of each dish. Pure bliss. Can’t wait to go back again.“
