I waited 1 hour for a table of 5. They said it was because I had 5 instead of 4 that we were unable to be seated in a timely manner, apparently parties more than 4 have to make a reservation. This is unacceptable.

Hot Peperoni pizza is amazing, voodo shrimp and cajun shrimp & chicken pasta....these are must
I was truly hopeful about the restaurant given the star ratings, but the steak was not cooked to temp requested, the drinks slow, and the service was friendly but not prompt. We won't be back.The manager responded and it was amazing. I move them up to 3 stars.

Grillsmith is quickly becoming our favorite restaurant. Wonderful steak and many dishes that are out of the ordinary.
Delicious food creatively presented. Huge patio! Our server was a bit inexperienced but made up for it with great personality.

The food was delicious, as always, but what was most impressive about the celebratory birthday dinner my family held for my autistic brother there was the staff. Our server, Tony, was super-attentuve ^ so kind that I will definitely request him by name each time we return there. And, the way he & the manager, Justin Goble, didn't hesitate to come to the rescue when my brother's rib dinner came out covered in sauce. I realize it's standard, but my brother didn't know how to communicate that he lives ribs with NO sauce. The evening could have gone sideways quickly, but Tony & Justin were incredibly compassionate & brought out another plate of ribs, making it a very enjoyable experience for my brother. For this reason, I will highly recommend this restaurant to EVERYONE. In a time when so many establishments have forgotten how to properly treat their customers, I'm happy to report that I know of one place where you will always have scrumptious food & stellar customer service. A HUGE "thank you!" to Tony & Justin.

A truly fantastic experience!TLDR: Great food, stellar staff, Tony is a great server.My family and I came here to celebrate my special needs uncles birthday, and we had a truly excellent time. The food of course, was delicious, my husband and I shared the salmon and the filet Flatbread, both were very good. The best part of the experience though, was the staff. Our server, Tony, was attentive, kind and patient.We had ordered the ribs for my uncle since that's what he had asked to go out for. When the food came out though, he wouldn't eat them. My mother was able to get him to explain that he didn't want sauce on the ribs. My uncle has a very hard time speaking and wasn't able to communicate this before the order. My mom was very embarrassed but when we explained the situation to Tony, he was extremely understanding, offering to have it remade right away, even managing to reassure my mom it was all okay. The manager came to check up and make sure everything else was alright (also very nice) and even one of the kitchen staff came to update us on how long the new ribs had left. Every member of the staff we interacted with or even saw were extraordinarily kind and cordial, perfectly balancing friendly with professional. The servers were even great to each other, multiple times I saw them lending a hand to one another throughout the busy night.When Tony brought the complementary birthday desert to my uncle, he even took the extra care to not do any sort of big birthday song as not to overwhelm him. He set it down for us and gave a very genuine happy birthday to my uncle. I don't often get to see strangers treat him so well or be so mindful of his needs. This made my night.I would highly recommend dinning here and I'm truly so happy they are back open, it was well worth the wait.

Everything from service to decor was very good. The food not at par unfortunately. I requested for my dish to be made without artichoke hearts but ended up getting it with it which upset me. My husband steak was supposed to be medium but came out rare from inside and black(burnt) from the outside. Undercooked meat. My chicken was not done well either. ? the only side they had was probably Brussels sprouts because when I asked for chefs special he said it was Brussels and when I asked what mixed vegetables I could get as my side he said Brussels. Too pricey! Not worth it. Disappointed!!!
Food was mediocre and pricey. No need to hurry back.

The food was terrible my kids didn't even like their food. The steak was ordered a medium and came out well done market fish (black grouper) had no seasoning. They ran out of asparagus and decided on their own to change it to whatever they had which was Brussels sprouts which were completely burnt. Mike was a great waiter. The best experience from here was the salmon bruschetta. But not to say the lease portion was shrunk and overly priced for 4 pieces of bread and a spoon of salmon for 15.00. Some kitchen restructuring is needed. The sad thing is this place was great before the rebuild.
The best ribeye steak I have had in Tampa. Going to be my go to place from today on. Makes Bern's look like a McDonald's.
