“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.“

“Always a great visit from my favorite restaurant. Seasons 52 offers a wonderful variety that caters to any and every one. No matter the occasion, whether casual, celebration, or corporate; it’s the place to be!

I always recommend a booth in the bar to be taken care of by either Morgan or Shelley. The two are a wonderful bunch who are personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. They always make great recommendations and know the set the pace of my meal well.

My most recent visit I went with the cedar plank salmon and switched out one of my sides to spinach. The meal was delicious!

Will be back soon!“

“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:)“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“Tried this spot for the first time after my sister highly recommended it—and it did not disappoint. Ordering online was super easy, and I loved how customizable everything was. You can really build your meal exactly how you want it.

The parking lot was a bit chaotic, but there’s plenty of seating inside if you’re dining in. I ended up waiting a little past the quoted pickup time, but once we got the food home—worth it. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and felt like a healthier option with solid portion sizes.

The staff seemed busy but stayed friendly, and the place was clean and well-kept. Definitely a spot I’d go back to.“

“I normally wait to do my review, I am here for 3 days, I made the mistake to order the shrimp and grits and now that is all I am thinking about! Delicious, trying to think how to order 2 and not look gluttonous. Creamy, smooth and shrimp were perfect.“

“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 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!“

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

“Our waiter Larry was very kind and struck up a nice conversation with my son about hockey. We loved the shrimp and pork belly apps. Did the 3 course menu (app, entree and gelato for $50) and were quite pleased! The hazelnut and peanut butter cookies and cream gelato were so good!“

“Food and service were excellent!!!“

“This is hands down one of the top locations in Tampa Bay. Fresh, fun and unique concept. Gabby is the best always kind, professional, and always makes me feel welcomed but the entire staff is friendly and amazing g Defiantly come here if ur stout first time or first date idea or a place to come with loved ones or after church. This is the place I love to come when I need to disconnect from life and revive myself with amazing food & beverage. Ask for Gabby!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Wow the food here is incredible; and the prices are unbeatable. All the food is freshly prepared and top quality. Plenty of healthy options & vegetarian and vegan options too. Drinks are the best too; with plenty of no sugar options to choose from.“

“Doc B's is my go to restaurant for lunch in the Tampa Bay area. The menu is outstanding with fresh healthy offerings cooked to order. The service is fantastic and genuine and the prices are fair. I highly recommend that you give it a try. “

“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.“

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

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

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

“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…“

“Staff was very knowledgeable on all the wine we asked about. They gave a great recommendation on a Red blend and the price of the bottle was exceptional. While I didn't eat here I have visited multiple times before and indulged in one of there charcuterie boards. Overall I love this wine bar. The selection of beer and cocktails is decent as well.“

“I’ve been here both times I was in town and will likely make this a tradition! The food here is so freaking fresh and delicious! There is no concern with being hungry after your meal, I’ve left here feeling stuffed! They will accommodate your food additions or deletions with no issues too. The mocktail menu is diverse too. I loved my bowl! It had the perfect amount of spice and flavor! The addition of the charred cauliflower was a recommendation from my server and boy, was she right on the money! My friend enjoyed her salad too! And we were both so full! We sat outside on the expansive patio on a perfect fall day! Don’t wait! Get here asap!“

“Great restaurant with a beautiful garden with plenty of space for both adults and kids to enjoy. Plus shade! 😍“

“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.“

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

“healthy doesn't mean bland food. very delicious.. good size portions for the price. love the atmosphere!!!“

“This pirate-themed bar is a treasure trove for adventure lovers! The walls are adorned with fascinating relics—maps, ship wheels, and swords—that transport you to a swashbuckling era. The atmosphere is lively, with dim lighting and sea shanties setting the mood. Drinks are creatively themed, and the staff is super friendly. A must-visit for fans of unique, immersive experiences!“

“If you enjoy good food when you lose all your $$ highly recommend . Someday !!!“
