Wow, the crab bisque soup was fantastic! Our dishes were well prepared and tasty. Service was very good and the prices reasonable. Reservations recommended. The place filled up quickly on a Friday night.

It's located in the same plaza as Mellow Mushroom where the old Grille 54 was located.. There's a few spots in front but there's more in the back. Inside there's plenty of seating and we didn't have to wait for a table. The service was good but my friend asked if a dish was spicy, was told it was not and it was a medium to hot on the spicy scale and contained chopped peppers. I had asked how much a side of yuca would be and was informed $2-3 dollars and was charged $4 (not astronomical but I would not have ordered them had I known). For dinner our party ordered Chicken Street Tacos, a side of fried yuca, Seafood Fra Diavolo (Alfredo Style), and the oven roasted pork. I didn't enjoy the chicken tacos, no one like the yuca, the Seafood Fra Diavolo was good but spicy (the kitchen even remade the dish so it wasn't spicy) and the oven roasted pork was enjoyed. Overall, the service was good (waiter wasn't well verses in the dishes or prices), the atmosphere was typical, on the quiet side, but I personal won't be going again but others in my party would. Give it a try to see if you'd like it.

Small spot in a strip mall with a quaint interior. The service was very good and the food was excellent. The menu was not extensive, however the offerings were diverse and the quality was quite good. A little on the pricey side but worth it.

Amazing food! Hands down the best lobster bisque ever. Tamale appetizer was to die for. Churrasco did us in! Highly reccomend.

Very pleased with the food, the garlic shrimp was delicious. My husband had the churrasco and he loved it. Great atmosphere and the live band was even better.

Latin food is all about the flavor. This place is really nice but I have been here twice and I was a bit dissatisfied with the flavor. My tamales did not have any flavor , I had to put salt and pepper. Grouper was a nice size but again no flavor. Its seems that most of the food needs additional seasoning. Other than that the atmosphere is great, great customer service and excellent location

Nice ambience, pleasant wait-staff and really interesting food. Love this place. Would make reservaton to be on the safe side. Lunch or dinner---excellent.

Service was good, food is pretty bland, no flavor what so ever. Also it's pretty pricey for the amount of food that you get... Not exactly what you expect when eating at a Cuban restaurant. DEFINITELY NOT AUTHENTIC OR THE BEST IN TOWN.

First time for us here. Nice, quiet Sunday night with surprise Live entertainment. Warm, fresh rolls to start, spinach dip for app, fettuccine Alfredo with grilled chicken for the entree, all was absolutely amazing! Will definitely return for the food and one of their all you can eat crab legs nights or one of their THREE karaoke nights!

Just came here for the first time with my wife. Great atmosphere with the live music, and tasty food with large portions. Bobby our server was polite, educated on the menu, & more than accommodating to our needs! We will be back for sure.

Awesome. A , for service A for food and drink. Great atmosphere. Sending freinds. Great time. Meline was awesome. The manager is great. We live in Land O Lakes. This is the new spot.

We had a great time and the live talent on Saturday is amazing. Her voice is beautiful

The food was terrible. Red snapper was rubbery and lasagna was gross and the noodles weren't cooked all the way. The prices aren't cheap and it most certainly isn't worth it whatsoever. Likely will not be returning. The atmosphere is nice but try getting a new cook.

I should put no stars. We didn't actually try the food. They took forever to seat us and after they seated us we waited 15 minutes before we walked out. The only reason why we walked out is because the seated 2 couples after us and asked them if they wanted drinks, that's when I lost it. Meanwhile there are servers and staff at the front just hanging out, I walked over and asked why no one has come to serve us and they looked at me like I was crazy so I just walked out.

Don't think this place fits in with the westchase vibe. We want places we can go have good food and conversation. Music is wayyyy too loud and you can't hear anything else. Food is subpar. Service was good! Feel bad for the staff that's still there from Grille 54 days.
