I purchased dinner tickets for my husband and I. We have eaten there in the past and it was fabulous! I was so disappointed last night because there were only appetizers and since we don’t drink, it was a big waste of money. I called when I bought the tickets and was told it was a full dinner buffet. It was not!!it was part of my husbands birthday gift, so very very disappointed.

This place used to be amazing. Now it’s a shell of it old self. Used to be steak lobster prime rib potatoes crab legs. Salads ect ectNow it’s finger food brought around on trays ( and not very good ). Very little selection. Definitely not worth 70.00Don’t waste your money or your time

My wife and I attended last night before the game. It was absolutely the worst experience that I have ever experience in a “resturant”. The lack of food and the variety of food was an absolute joke. $70 a person for a cheese bar, plastic plates and forks and having to go get my own beverage. I will never return to this venue for this bad of food. My disappointment took me into the hockey game, wondering if I even wanted to be there.

I’ve eaten here many times for lightning games, always impressed with the food. Last night the experience was a complete joke. Mac and cheese, hot dogs, deviled egg, chicken sliders, and a pitiful charcuterie. Many others there were expressing the same. Complete rip off.

I went with expectations of the usual boring buffet offerings. Let me tell you, I was completely Shocked!The food & amount of varied offerings are surreal. Absolutely delicious, with quality ingredients. I don't think you would regret a delicious relaxing, fulfilling experience with the Firestick Grill.Vegetarian options: Luscious vegetarian dishes. Not disappointed.

This was the worst dining experience I've had in over 20 years!!! They oversold the event, the place was packed and there were not enough chairs for everyone. It was supposed to be butler-passed hors d'oeuvres and charcuterie. The entire time I was there, I got one deviled egg by the "butlers" and the charcuterie was more than half empty. Doors were supposed to open at 4pm, I wasn't able to get in until 4:30.

Overpriced .. lobster small and dried and tasteless Crab claws small turkey over spiced and overdone. Desserts tiny and Sysco grade . Prime rib tasty Next time I'll park early and eat in neighborhood at 1/3 the price !

By far the best fine dining experience ?when going to a hockey game or a concert, at The Amalie Arena!
We had an incredible experience at the Firestick Grill! Everything from the staff serving at the stations greeting me by name, the vast, fresh cuisine made with unique flare (like the pasta made in the cheese wheel), to the popular milkshake station awaiting you.Thank you Elise, for taking excellent care regarding my dietary restrictions. No one has been so attentive to detail and kind.Bring your appetite to Firestick Grill for their prime rib, lobster, sushi, and so much more! You'll score lots of points treating your special someone to an experience there.

Firestick Grill was great! Open Table - not so much. Reservation email confirmation was for 5:15, as requested. Reservation text confirmation was for 5:00, not as requested. No way to confirm with Open Table. Fortunately Firestick responded satisfactorily by email.

We always enjoy dining here prior to a hockey game. However, the steaks are always overcooked even when I ask for rare. Selections seem less than previous times. I'd like more healthier options, more veggies. Wine selection is good. Excellent service!

This was my 4th time at the Firestick Grill the first 3 times were outstanding this time not so much The lobster tails and grouper were severely over cooked I tried them on two separate times Not really being a red meat eater I was a bit disappointed the staff was top notch no complaints there I will still be back a couple of times next season Have a great summer!

I enjoy coming here because it's relaxing and inside the arena. The service is always quite good. Last night I did not find the food to be all that great. It was not quite what I was accustomed to pre covid. I give the food a 3 out of 5.
