“This was our second time there in about ten days. The fine-in food is incredible. They have lots of less ethnic choices on their menu and I went with an American burger which was Very Good. My wife had the ganoush with lentil soup and thought it was very good. I had a standard gyro on my first visit, auch gut. They have only Turkish coffee in itty bitty cups, chalky and instant-like which I didn’t like much but it was my choice.

Parking: Parking is a delight, always. We parked right in front. The stripes were strait and parallel.“

“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!“

“Spent our Sunday in Tampa and came across Petra Restaurant, and it has been the absolute best experience I have had in a long while. Thank you to Mo and Sabrina for the hospitality. It was our first time here but not our last time. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by and enjoy good food, amazing drinks and desserts at Petra.“

“One of the best restaurants in town! The quality of food and service in excellent and you can taste the passion for good cooking in every dish that comes to the table. Go to Rosenheim and enjoy great food and exotic atmosphere to complete your experience! Going back soon.“

“Lilac is located in the lobby of the Tampa Edition. Although it had very limited seating, it was packed, and it exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is spectacular as you can probably imagine. The staff were very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The cocktails were great, and the desserts were the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. Lilac is a true culinary gem. We did their 4 course tasting dinner and it was well worth the money. We had a little bit of everything (photos attached). It is a Michelin star restaurant, so it is pricey. The Wagyu Filet Mignon was undoubtedly what dreams are made of. I love this the atmosphere feels very intimate, inviting, and romantic even though it is right in the lobby. This restaurant is perfect for any special occasion. I’ll be visiting again.“

“Gabriella’s was a wonderful surprise. The food was amazing but the mixologist was the best! She was cheerful and could mix up any drink you could dream of! Delicious and refreshing. Highly recommended!! The entire staff was wonderful.“

“I order from Pitas almost every day and I'm never disappointed. It's conveniently located downtown so I can easily walk there on my lunch break. I usually get one of the salads but no matter what I order, it's always delicious! The salads are big and come with lots of protein everything is always fresh and the staff is always friendly and everything is very reasonably priced.“

“Amaziiiiiing. FRESH,AUTHENTIC AND DELICIOUS!!!“

“Lunch was good. Take one star for having kettle chips out of a bag to come along with a sandwich. $9 for the small fries upgrade is ridiculously. Another star for the fact that the quality doesn’t match the price. You have to pay for the fancy hotel atmosphere for sure.“

“Haven't been back to Acropolis in a long time, but I thought I'd comment on a recent visit. The restaurant was clean, the service was attentive but not overbearing, and the food was excellent. Many compliments to the manager Christian and his staff. ~“

“Me and my friend went to Cava at like 9:40 after the gym. Brooke and Dorcas did not care what time it was. We were greeted with a smile and they were happy to help on deciding what to get as it was our first time in there. Sitting down eating my food as I write this review and the food slaps! Still fresh got us in and out in a timely manner and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy the Cava experience. Highly recommend the chicken bowl and the original pita chips ?? will be back again no doubt.“

“Oh my! The food is absolutely amazing! The flavors are perfection. The service is so friendly and knowledgeable. I wish we had a Nana in Sarasota. We will be coming back to Tampa just for Nana.“

“First time ordering catering for our office. Definitely will not be the last or only time. From ordering experience to delivery to eating experience it was high above expectations! The delivery driver went thru the order and explained how to present the food matching the entree/item with the accompanying sauces. The food itself was phenomenal. Everyone was pleased. We have never run out of food that we have ordered until today. Definitely highly recommend.“
