“Fantastic place! We celebrated my daughter’s graduation here and had the very best experience. From start to finish they provided exceptional service. Everyone went above and beyond to make our event extra special. The service was amazing, the food was great and beautifully displayed, tables were set up welcoming, and we had plenty of space for our guests to enjoy. I look forward to returning and enjoying another great meal and experience!“

“I was there twice this week, and both times were amazing. We were treated like family. Lorena and Jill were spectacular Sunday as were James and Anna Tuesday. It’s hard to decide what was better: the food, the service, or the comfy chairs. Even KJ who brought our food was especially friendly.“

“Great staff and menu! Plenty of parking nearby also right off the trolley line.“

“Lunch date with friends was a great choice. Shrimp and grits were super yummy! We shared and the portion was just right. Our friends split a salad and It was also good. Very attentive waitstaff. Friendly hostess. Love the decor and atmosphere.“

“Hadn't been back to Seasons 52 in a while and were not disappointed. Our server was excellent, and the food was very good. Some special requests from a couple of people in our party were handled flawlessly. Only real "problem" is remembering dishes we have had there in the past and really liked that are no longer available due to the seasonal menus. But we all found something else to eat that was equally good“

“We went to the location on Gandy Boulevard today. We were just passing by and saw it so looked up the menu online. At this particular location there was a kiosk to order and no indoor seating. There was a taphouse next-door that had outdoor seating so we grabbed a drink and ate our food there. The portions were large and everything was absolutely delicious! I was delighted to find vegan options. Everything was well seasoned and very flavorful! We would definitely come back again!“

“I think it beats all the 'healthy eating' chains I've tried to date:)“

“Went there a couple weeks ago but forgot to do the review. Everything seemed fine at first. We were seated outside like we requested and given a waitress by the name of Raven. She greeted us with an attitude and when we asked how the food was there, she advised us not to try anything because the food sucked. We ordered drinks and complimented the cherry garnish and she told us they were just “basic cherries, nothing special.” She ignored us for about 20 minutes then came over with a waiter by the name of Kevin because she “had to leave suddenly”, which she did not.

Kevin ended up taking good care of my party. The same food Raven told me not to try, Kevin advised me to try, and it was perfect!! I had the pork sandwich & my husband had the salmon and my friend had chicken tenders.

*I felt disrespected by Raven due to way she dropped us, but Kevin made that up by his exceptional service so we will be back.“

“I only have positive things to say about this establishment! My family and I usually dine in with you guys but we were hosting a family reunion today and we wanted to order some of our favorite foods to go. My gosh everything was just prepared wonderfully and tasted amazing like usual! The take out team was just spot on! We wanted to specifically thank a younger girl with blonde hair. I believe her name was Nichole or Nikki or something like that. keep up the good work, i’ll be back!“

“Fantastic brunch menu! Food was delicious, service was not rushed. Loved the Pumpkin Espresso Martini! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!“

“Staff is friendly and food is amazing! Have to try the whiskey cake!!“

“Last Sunday, my friends and I had an absolute blast at Union New American on Westshore—seriously, it was the best brunch ever! If you’re on the fence about checking it out, leap on over! The venue oozes elegance and luxury, making you feel like royalty. But let’s talk about the star of the show: the food! We indulged in a mouthwatering array of delights like the Union Sticky Bun, sushi, the legendary Union Burger, and oh my goodness, the Korean Fried Chicken & Waffles! Plus, don’t even get me started on dessert—yum! The cherry on top? The fabulous service from Jacob and Alena, who made our experience unforgettable, even with the restaurant buzzing with excitement. We’re already planning our next visit and can’t recommend Union New American enough!“

“I had an excellent customer service experience today with the Tampa location. Door Dash picked up the wrong order, so I called and Mike (the owner) was able to get them to come back and deliver the correct one. Personally called me and also gave me loyalty credits to make up for the wait. I order from this location all the time, because my office is close by. Highly recommended and really appreciated that Mike went above and beyond expectation!“

“Food is horrible. I ordered the Bayou pasta. It was dry and it had no seasoning. All I tasted was noodles on the first bite. O, they charge 4 dollars for extra sauce for the pasta. Like really! If you ever had food in New Orleans, you will know this ain't it. I don't know what others see in the food. Maybe each location is different. I went to the one in Rockledge/Cocoa Beach, Fl area. All I know is that next time I am "Walking On" right passed this restaurant to another one that's better.... hopefully.“

“SoFresh was solid, staff was friendly and everything came out as ordered. Small little place better for to go than eating in but they did have a highchair for our baby so that was nice. I just got the Caesar salad which was good wish it came with a little more dressing but was solid a lot of parm made it kinda messy. My wife got a quesadilla she really enjoyed and turned into two meals. Good for a quick bite where you won’t feel bloated and gross after eating it.“

“Consistently good - we cater in lunch for our office once a week and So Fresh is a popular healthy choice amongst the whole team.“

“Party of 6. Very well take care of. The wings were by far the biggest in town, we got them plain and with buffalo, both were delicious. The pretzel was good, Caesar salad is HUGE with crostini that were also delicious. French dip and Mac and cheese both good, the smash burger and chicken with waffles equally delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be back. The staff were amazing attentive but not “clingy” Camilla was our server and was excellent!!“

“The food here is amazing. Very classy high end place to go for a romantic dinner. We will go back again.“

“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.“

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

“Turning 21 and celebrating at Cali was the best combination! I got a free cookie to celebrate! Tay as always was incredible and just brought a smile to my day! Cam was also stellar in making my day so special! Cam was training but frankly I could’ve sworn she was already an active staff member, she was amazing! Joe even came by to stop by and was so sweet! We also spoke with Adam as he dropped off our Hummus and he came with smiles and compliments. What an amazing staff!! Not to mention the food was heavenly! I had an excellent time!🫶🥹“

“Exceptional. Everything is cooked to perfection: temperature, taste and presentation! Has multiple spaces so you can go there for gelato, coffee, drinks, brunch or dinner. Great for friends or date night. Space is cute and you can get some cute pictures here.“

“Tried Bolay for the first time today from a recommendation. The food was great but unfortunately the service was lacking. There were 4 team members standing behind the counter and all 4 just seemed like it was their first day on the job. Nobody greeted us or asked us what we wanted. I was tempted to go behind the counter and make my bowl myself. I may give it another shot but at a different location.“

“We had brunch and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly service. The food was delicious.“

“I just picked a high-rated spot near the office I’m working in today and struck gold. The hot and crunchy bowl with Ahi was 11/10. Food came out quickly and was generously portioned. Emily was my server and was very helpful and pleasant. Not a quiet spot if you’re looking for that, but otherwise is a great atmosphere.“

“I choose doc b for my birthday dinner because we have been here numerous times just for there artichoke appetizer. It is out of this world. The rest of the food was great and the service top notch. Recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for good food“

“We are very happy we tried many of their chicken dishes, all were so yummy! Will definitely be ordering more in the future. Delivery was easy and fast, Page was extremely helpful with my pickup order too! Taste and presentation are on spot!“

“OMG! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is fantastic, the staff is amazing everyone that I have had contact with seems like they love their job and the Manager Jason he the epitome of a Manager. A huge special thanks th Noel for making our first experience the ultimate we are a forever a customer now.“

“This was my first visit here. I was looking for something relaxed and healthy! I found both here plus the food is amazing and the staff was welcoming and helpful! I'll definitely come back and already shared about it for others. Now to go finish my food! Didn't want to forget to share the great experience.“

“Food and service were excellent!!!“

“So glad that we discovered Willa this evening. Can't believe that we hadn't found it previously. But discovering it on a Sunday night turned out to be quite a treat. That is their half price wine bottle night as well as the buy one get one chicken schnitzel night. The schnitzel along with it s. Lemon/ dill potato salad were delicious but the focaccia bread starter may have been the star of the show. And then we followed up with some of their homemade, soft serve and absolutely incredible warm, delicious chocolate chip cookie. Our server, Duncan, was terrific. We will be back!!! Just sorry I did not make any pictures“

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

“Fantastic food! My grouper was perfect. I haven’t enjoyed a restaurant meal so much in a long time. I’ll be back!“

“One of my top choices. Super delicious menu. Fun and foreign atmosphere.“

“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.“

“Had an amazing time for my birthday due to the outstanding knowledge of our sommelier! Denise was attentive, and extremely knowledgeable offering tasting that aligned with my palette. I’m a wine lover and my husband enjoys dark beers. It was the best of both worlds for us and again, Denise had fantastic options that he enjoyed. Plus we were able to smoke our cigars outside at our bistro table. A fantastic memory made, we will definitely be back!“

“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!“

“The dragonfruit curd dessert blew me away. Our salad was nice and fresh and the cauli crust pizza was spot on.“

“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…“

“Great Food And Drinks Great employees.“

“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!“

“We tried the Cuban Bread and fried pickles...both were amazing!

The atmosphere of this Grotto is amazing!!!!

Service at the main bartip was a bit slow.

There's a case full of old pirate guns for sale in the back near the bathrooms.“

“Hats off to the friendly staff! We were Florida July Sunshine hot after 1.5 hours at Tampa Bay Downs Golf Range and were looking forward to a cool TBBC brew and some ice water. Ginger was our server, awesome, she was perfect. We will be requesting her tables any time we return. She was kindly patient with us as we got our act together, ordered the ESPE Blonde and my better half greatly enjoyed the “The Last Days of Summer” sour. The food was surprisingly fantastic! They also have wood fire pizzas, which we will returning to try. Highly recommend!“
