New American Restaurants near Lutz, FL

“I had an amazing experience after visiting Fresh Kitchen (Lutz) the other day. Both the Backened and Citrus Chicken were so tasty and perfectly seasoned. My friend had the Salmon and although I'm picky about my salmon I tried it and loved it. the Vegetables were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The restaurant was very clean. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable and very friendly. Kudos to the management. I will return.“

“This place is perfect! SoFresh offers fresh healthy meal options - exactly what this area was lacking. The owners are great people always welcoming their customers with a smile and perfect service. My favorite bowl is grilled chicken with zucchini noodles, sweet potatoes and broccoli covered with delicious citrus dressing. Always excited to visit and get a healthy nutritious meal at SoFresh in Lutz.“

“Decent food. Vegetables are as close to natural as you can get.“

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael's Grill cater our wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. Located in the heart of Carrollwood next to Tampa Wine Room, where we held our reception, they were the perfect fit for our celebration. Joe and his team did an exceptional job from start to finish. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and served with such care. Our guests could not stop talking about it and kept going back for more. Several people told us they plan to come back and dine there, which says everything. We are so grateful for the incredible service and delicious food that helped make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend for both dining and catering your next event.“

“I have never had a bad experience at Cali which is why I’m always going back! Their mushroom pizza is one of my repeat orders and so is the So Buff bowl! Great flavor and a great atmosphere!! If you’re looking for a great appetizer, the garlic lime edamame is where it’s at!“

“Very good food and staff! Enjoyed!“

“Awesome food and great service at the Sarasota location! Highly recommend.“

“My mom and I went to Fresh Kitchen and told them and it was our first experience and we were treated spectacularly! We tried almost all of their food to perfect our bowls and the staff (especially Xavier) were so kind and accommodating to us. 10/10 recommend!“

“Every time I have dinner at Sacred Pepper, I try something new and never have I been disappointed. This time I tried the Pistachio Crusted Fried Brie with cranberry chutney, balsamic reduction and d toasted parmesan crostini and it was amazingly delicious and also a shareable plate. For dinner I had the Oak Grilled Norwegian Salmon with heirloom tomato salad, white wine butter sauce, and house-made orzo pasta with a side of the Caramelized Brussels Sprouts with Applewood bacon and a balsamic glaze. It was all excellent and very flavorful just as everything else has been in my 4 visits here. It's hard to even pick a favorite! Besides the great selection of shareable plates, entrees, sides, and drinks, the decor and ambience are stunning. Then add to that, my server Adam was exceptional, and he was very attentive, polite, respectful, courteous, patient, and he genuinely made me feel so welcomed and valued. He has made so many wonderful recommendations to me over my visits and has even gotten me to try many new things that have all been excellent.“

“I recently went to try their food and I can tell everything is good, the hot dogs and empanadas were delicious. If you like the hot dogs and want to taste it go for it, there are like Colombians hotdogs. The owner is nice and willing to help you.“

“Every time I come here the food is always great and the beer is straight from the brewery in the back, even exclusives like Lord Chesterfield or Bongo Fizz that I can only find here. Everything I’ve had at the restaurant has been great, and the servers and bartenders are pleasant and knowledgeable about the beer and food. Highly recommend if you are in the area!“

“The food is Amazing, smoothies like my homemade smoothies ❤️❤️“

“great food and great people“

“Friendly, great good, excellent customer service!“

“On my good days
I come here to see the lake,
dressed in diamonds from the sun, these glittering jewels that shine and refract light upon light into my world-weary heart

telling me that you too can shine.
telling me-go forth now
Even into the mundane.
Go forth. And seek beauty.“

“We ate here last Sat night excellent server and the food was great. I had the tuna my wife had a fillet both were great. Of the smoky maple old fashioned was excellent…“

“The lady's name is AMBER! She is a Bartender/Server/Great all-around person! We are new and have many iptions, but because of Amber, we chose Glory Days. Amber is always happy, knows what we want and runs circles around other Bartenders & Servers. I hope you pay her well! She could definately get more and still be the wonderful asset to Glory Days!“

“This is a really neat place! There is space to hang out, relax, and spend time with family or a date. There are various spaces to spend your time, inside at a table, inside playing pool, an inside bar, outside tables and outdoor game areas with chairs. It's family friendly, and is nice for larger groups or just a small family dinner like ours. It is also handicap accessible which was huge for us since our mom was with us in a wheelchair. We were able to take her to the bathroom and move around in it with her easily. It was just a really neat space and experience. The beer is great; the food is okay (I think I just picked the wrong plate). I will definitely be back! Great energy. Jake is spectacular.....Jacob as well :)“

“Friday night with friends, we tried Circles — a cozy little spot tucked away in a small Carrollwood plaza. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server, Vaughn, did an outstanding job taking care of us. The menu was impressively diverse with several Asian-inspired dishes. We started with the calamari, fried avocado slices, and dumplings — all delicious and perfectly prepared. The Southwestern soup was spot-on too. For entrées, we had eggplant parmesan, steak and blue cheese salad, and pan-roasted cod — every dish was fresh and flavorful. We didn’t order drinks, but the restaurant has an impressive wine collection and full bar for those who do. Excellent food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!“

“I stayed at the Embassy Suites Hotel this week for a few days on a business trip.

I was dealing with severe jet lag, so discovering the onsite restaurant was a lifesaver, especially since they also offer room service.

I tried their Ropa Vieja plate, and it was solid. The rice was great, the beans were flavorful, and the beef was incredibly tender. The sweet plantains added a nice contrast in flavor and balanced the dish perfectly!

While the menu prices are a bit on the high side, they’re pretty typical for a hotel restaurant. Considering the quality of the food and service, though, it definitely feels worth it.

Will I try their food again? Absolutely!“

“If you're craving something cheesy and delicious, this spot is a must-visit! Their pizza is packed with meat and cheese, and the dough is cooked to absolute perfection. I went during lunch time which had a deal of two pepperoni pizzas and a drink for $5. I wanted a meat lovers pizza and the host was so nice she allowed it with just a $2 up charge. What really caught me off guard--in the best way possible--is that they also offer empanadas. And let me tell you, these are the cheesiest empanadas I've ever had! You can tell by my face how shocked I was, LOL. I've made some pretty cheesy ones myself, but these take the crown. I think they use the same dough as their pizza, which is probably why it's so good. As someone who was craving both pizza and empanadas, I was SO excited to find a place that does both--and does them so well. The location is a cute pizza stand, so you you'll want to take your order to go. Highly recommend!“

“So fresh is my new fave!!!! So yummy and worth every dollar!!!“

“Nice place for the family I will be back soon“

“I’ve actually never ordered food here.
They have Wednesday Salsa socials which are really nice to go to, very good vibe. The servers ate friendly & attentive.

The only issue I have is the floors don’t seem to be very clean around the bar area since there’s always a bad smell of fermented beer/ alcohol which is disgusting. There’s also plenty of seating available on Wednesdays.“

“Title: Exceptional Service from Lala! I had an amazing experience at COasis, thanks to our waitress, Lala. From the moment we sat down, she was warm, attentive, and incredibly friendly. She made great recommendations, checked in on us regularly without being intrusive, and ensured we had everything we needed. Her positive energy and professionalism truly made our dining experience special. If you're visiting COasis, I highly recommend asking for Lala—she’s fantastic!“
