Outstanding! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with a happy face. That sparked the rest of the evening! Our server was over the top amazing. His name was “Jon” (he told me how to spell his name correctly- and I forget! He was so attentive and very accommodating of my dietary restrictions/allergy - Celiac. He didn't even flinch when I told him celiac - most places shrug it off, or make me feel like a nuisance. The food was fresh, delicious & high quality. Very happy!

The place was attractive. It's in a beautiful hotel. The service was fair although they tried they were just very shortstaffed. The food was not good, especially for the caliber of hotel. The restaurant is located in iguana. Mia is 10 times better and cheap cheaper.

Brett

Food was outstanding, even better than usual. Service was equally impeccable - Eleni did an amazing job! 5 stars is not enough!

Our first event at Benchmark Arena and our first dining experience at Lona. This was a great choice for an excellent meal and great turnaround for the event without rushing us. Food comes out really quickly, so need to stage those app and entree orders.

Kalebra

Excellent food and great service. A perfect place on event nights. Easy walk and valet event parking.

Food was excellent, very flavorful and unique! Service was great - attentive without being overbearing. And the restaurant itself was beautiful!!

The Lump crab guacamole was delicious, as was everything else we ate. However, the highlight of the night was the mango sorbet! It was an absolute must-try, so make sure to save room for dessert!

It can get very loud but very good! Just try to not sit in the bar in noise is a thing for you. Locals and always enjoy coming here!

went with a party of 6 and we all enjoyed our meals and experience. Highly recommend the steak, it was very flavorful. The carnitas quesadillas were great, loved that the cheese was also added to the outside of the tortilla. Top restaurant in that part of Tampa.

I have tried their multiple things on their menu and every single item has been very good. All of their guacamole's are good. Loved the bacon guacamole! The fajitas were awesome (loved the shrimp fajitas. Chicken Quesadillas, shrimp tacos, carne asada tacos, Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas including their hamburger. I have tried most of their menu and everything has been excellent!

The ambience was perfect and really enjoyed the golf suite setting but the golf visuals was a little lacking in virtual reality. Also the food was tasteful but trying to eat on the low couch in the golf suite was a challenge. However our host was very helpful in getting us a dinning table to finish our dinner.

So so good. My husband and I ate here twice during our brief stay at the Marriott for a conference. This may be my new favorite salsa! Great food. The sauces are all excellent. Great service!
