Scarpa's Italian Restaurant

We were told that when visiting Lakeland, this is a top restaurant. The food and service where amazing, Christina really knows her wine, and I would recommend going with her suggestions. The only reason that I didn't rate it 5 star on atmosphere is because it is in a strip plaza and it just appears to need a little something more for ambience. Regardless, we will make reservations anytime that we are visiting Lakeland and definitely request Christina.

Wonderfully crafted food and deserts. The menu has something for everyone from 4 salad choices to 6 ways to have Sea Bass. We had the blue cake for desert which was spectacular and so large that we split the desert.

I really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere of this restaurant!If you haven’t been to this restaurant before they will give you a complimentary glass of champagne, which not many restaurants will do. We wanted to try it all, therefore we ordered 3 appetizers: the calamari (the best calamari I have ever had in any restaurant. It comes with a jalapeño/caramel sauce and it’s absolutely delicious! We had the ceviche peruano, it was fantastic and you can order it either with plantains or crackers. We order the plantains (we had an extra $5 charge for the plantains - not sure if they charge extra with the crackers) we also ordered the scallops, they add cheese on the scallops which make it extra delicious!My bf ordered the wagyu ravioli. Really delicious but my bf and I agreed that it would be better without the sauce: the sauce it’s a bit sweet. It’s a white truffle sauce, I would say the sauce it’s a bit too loud and the raviolis are absolutely exquisite and we thought it didn’t need the sauce. Lastly, I ordered the rack of lamb and it was really tender. Service was excellent. 10 out of 10!We will keep coming back. We spent $200 but we ordered a lot of things and it was absolutely worth it!

I got lunch from Krunchy Krab to finish off my birthday month, and it was an absolute treat! We enjoyed mussels, shrimp, lobster, potatoes and corn. There was so much food that we had to leave the crab legs for another meal! The sauce was very flavorful, with enough spice to give the heat, but not too much to make your mouth burn. All of the food was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend you visit and enjoy some seafood for yourself!

Great food, great service. Wished we would have known about this place sooner. It is a bit pricey. The restaurant is in a store and it is ok, but somewhat underwhelming. It reminded me of an old rental dance hall with the chandeliers and walls and tile flooring. They have food and spices to take home as well as a full dessert case.

Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille

First time going to this establishment, it was very busy. We were seated faster than the time given which was great. The atmosphere was pleasant. Started out with dip the cheese on top was burnt after stirring it up and took off some of the burnt cheese it was tasty, weren't expecting actual bread to go along with the dip. The crab cakes were delicious and the mahi too. I asked for mashed potatoes as an extra side which I never got. The server who brought out our food I mentioned it to her, never got it. I'm not sure if it was because they were busy or the actual server we had, had too many tables we didn't get the premier service I was expecting based on others review.

My husband is a huge Bills fan, so we drove an hour to check this place out. It did not disappoint! The whole sandwiches were huge and delicious. My husband cannot stop raving about the Philly with queso. It is more of a bar scene, but we brought our children and they gave them coloring books with crayons and they have a children’s menu. Everything is priced well and the staff is very inviting. Cannot wait to go again and try some wings!P.S. I’m a Jets fan and I can’t wait to go back ?

Everything tasted fresh, and the place was super clean - which, trust me, is a breath of fresh air when it comes to buffets. Plus, the prices won't make your wallet weep. If you're looking for a place with great Chinese flavors, good vibes, and solid value, give Ling's Buffet a shot. I'm definitely heading back soon!

Stopped in here to grab a pint with the family on our way home. It had a cool vibe and the two beers we tried were really good. I got the Downtown (Hazelnut) Brown and it was one of the best brown ales I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly malty and nutty. My wife got the Straight Outta Lakeland IPA because we always have to try the standard IPA on the menu the first time you visit. It was a good beer. We wanted to try more beers but they were pretty busy and we had to move on before we caught traffic but we will definitely be back!Cheers!

Be sure to check the website for what type of food truck will be present. We even added decorations to the window and made a photo booth in the corner. They were very hospitable and returned our phone calls to book the location.

This is my all-time favorite restaurant. Their crab rangoons and spring rolls are amazing. The staff is incredibly sweet and friendly. They prepare the food quickly, but it’s always so good! The inside is very cozy and cool. Highly recommend the sushi, as I’ve never had a bad roll from here. When you order through GrubHub with an order over $30, they give you a free “Eddie Roll”, which is krab tempura with eel sauce and yum yum sauce. It is to die for!! Love this place and honestly, I could eat it every day!!

After a long week my hubby and I decided to go out for breakfast.As I caught his eye, we both simultaneously said "You want A&B?". We laughed and I shook my head yes.The grits taste like my Grandmother used to make so I am always happy to go here. They also have a broad range of daily specials that are super tasty and their homemade soups are to die for.This is a fine example of a standard Southern Mom & Pop Restaurant that closes mid afternoon.The only thing they don't have that I wish they did is a larger variety of freshly made veggies like greens or peas. They have green beans and other standard sides like fries, mashed potatoes, salad, etc.This has become one of our favorites and I hope it will become yours as well.

Came in to try the prime rib as we were told it was good. Got the 16oz cut. It was cooked to the correct temp i ordered it Ovaition style ( seared and seasoned) it was tender and juicy but i was not overly fond of the seasoning used . My opinion it made the prime rib taste like BBQ. Should have gotton it woodfired ! But now i know!
