“This location is mostly geared for take-out. The small building space appeared to be clean and well kept. They have a couple of tables and a few chairs but no one was using them. I see you can pre-order online. We just pulled up and came inside to place our order. It was packaged complete within 10 minutes. The taste and the quality of our dinners was far superior to other Chinese restaurants that I've sampled. After dinner we have plenty of left overs to make another meal. All for a reasonable price. For quick, tasty Chinese food, their version was outstanding.“

“Renee was the best!!! She hav end extra ice, broke a large bill for me so I had change and was so sweet.“

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

“My very first visit and I cannot wait to return. Everything from the moment we walked in till the moment we left was perfect. The service, food, atmosphere everything was wonderful. I highly recommend visiting, you will not be disappointed.“

“Very good 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟se lo recomiendo buen servicio buena atención y todo fresco all good Services all good 3/7/25 i by here yesterday estuve ayer aquí gracias thank you“

“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.“

“I didn’t know what all the hype was about until I had their medium spicy garlic butter crab legs. I’ve seen Florida ladies going crazy over this dish and I thought calm down it’s just crab legs. Well this is a whole new level of crab legs seafood boil. I was served this for Mother’s Day. It’s my new favorite spot“

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. We had the absolute pleasure of having Michael's Grill cater our wedding, and they truly exceeded every expectation. Located in the heart of Carrollwood next to Tampa Wine Room, where we held our reception, they were the perfect fit for our celebration. Joe and his team did an exceptional job from start to finish. The food was outstanding, beautifully prepared, and served with such care. Our guests could not stop talking about it and kept going back for more. Several people told us they plan to come back and dine there, which says everything. We are so grateful for the incredible service and delicious food that helped make our wedding day so special. Highly recommend for both dining and catering your next event.“

“Great food. Terrific service. Kayln was on the money with her recommendations for dinner.“

“The only complaint i have is with the valet parking. Valet is the only available parking option at this location. When leaving, it took 25 minutes to get my car. And only one person was a head of us. We had an early resevation and upon leaving it was peak hour of 7:00. Many people arriving. Actually, multiple cars were retrieved befor our car was delivered. It put a damper on a great dinner. We will still go back, but will make arrangements with valet regarding prompt retrieval of vehicle.“

“Server Myron was a delight to have. Really enjoyed our visit at the Brandon location! Thank you so much!“

“𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 Restaurant Review: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹 – 𝗧𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗮, 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗮 -- Downtown Tampa Bay has become a culinary hot spot, providing a transformative array of restaurants that offer elevated food and dining experiences. You don’t have to go to the depths of the sea to find a Pearl that genuinely highlights the flavors, beauty, and aroma of the sea, satisfying your palate with every bite. -- As a seasoned traveler who has explored 68 countries and 36 states, I approach restaurant reviews with four primary criteria: taste, presentation, ambiance, and service. My goal is to provide an impartial perspective, highlighting both the positive and negative aspects of dining at the establishment. -- 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 — The restaurant offers a cozy and sophisticated ambiance both indoors and outdoors, creating a vibrant vibe and a memorable experience for all occasions. Well-defined spaces throughout the restaurant and an artistic outdoor design offer opportunities for intimate dinners, social gatherings, and enjoyable spaces to share with friends, family, business professionals, and loved ones. -- 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞 —We were greeted by the smiling hostess, who led us to a table by the window. Our server was quick to introduce herself, attentive, and a wealth of information to help us navigate the menu and find the best dining choices for our expectations and preferred food choices. -- 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝 – We dined there during lunch, which provides a large variety of snacks, starters, shellfish, sandwiches, and entrees. We started with the Smoked Whitefish Spread and Garlic Shrimp before moving to our entrees, which included Scallops and Atlantic Salmon. -- 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐬 – Unfortunately, this is where there was a slight misstep. When ordering the garlic shrimp, the initial thought is that you would be presented with shrimp with an infusion and obvious flavoring of garlic. To our surprise, the dishes were disguised with an intense red pepper flavor, which created a discerning spice that was welcome. The heart of the dish was lost as all you could truly taste was the spiciness of the red pepper – failing to elevate the flavors of the shrimp and the garlic. What was an additional disappointment was that it was very difficult to enjoy the Whitefish Spread with the lingering taste of the spiciness of the red peppers. After guzzling down some water (and whiskey), I was able to enjoy the true elegance of the Whitefish Spread, which highlighted an amazing balance of smokiness, savory flavors, and creamy/smooth texture. The dish was even more elevated with onions, sweet peppers, capers, and sesame seeds. -- 𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐬 – Only one word could truly describe the entrees – PERFECT. The chef was able to truly highlight the freshness, favors, and tenderness of the salmon and the scallops while pairing the seafood with the perfect blend of deep, complex flavors with purees that provide smooth textures, sweet flavors, and subtle buttery notes that complement the seafood rather than overpowering the dish. From the visual execution to the perfected flavor combinations, it offers sophistication and memorable taste with every bite! -- Simply put – just slightly short of perfection. While the dining experience had a minor imperfection, the entrees truly allowed us to walk away with an unforgettable experience that has us yearning to come back for more.“

“Great experience the decor and ambiance was amazing. Crab cakes, calamari and pork shank.“

“The Shrimp & Company is a quaint seafood restaurant on the corner of 7th Ave and 22nd St in Ybor City. If you have walked past it headed for the restaurant across the street then you have missed the best seafood you could eat in Tampa. You have to try their Florida or Louisiana Steam Pot, any of the seafood baskets and their shrimp stuffed mondongo. The food and terrific service is worth another trip to the small family owned restaurant. Don’t miss it!“

“Best Shrimp Pasta!!!!! Great Shrimp Skewers, Fried Shrimp, Crab Legs and Salmon!“

“Was here last night with my client, Mitch Cumstein. I can vouch for the foul odor coming from that Alexis woman's direction. If she lived in one of the apartment buildings owned by another client of mine, I would move to have her evicted. By the way, Katie was a terrific server. And I'm usually mean to girls.“

“We love this place! You cannot beat AYCE crab legs and anything else you want on the menu for $42. The flavor is incredible, the food always comes out hot and fresh. I've tried just about everything on the menu and it's all delicious. And the service is always great, even when they're slammed! The restaurant is close to an hour away from me but it's well worth the drive.“

“Amazing live music venue and excellent food and service! Highly recommended!“

“Awesome food and Service from Barbie!“

“First time I have eaten here, high end service and cozy dinning. Good menu, variety of food to chose from and the food was absolutely delicious!“

“I recently dined at Watervue and had their seafood pasta dish, and it was absolutely divine! The combination of fresh seafood and perfectly cooked pasta was a true delight for my taste buds. The flavors were balanced beautifully, and the portion size was generous. The ambiance of the restaurant was also very cozy and inviting, adding to the overall wonderful experience. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff making sure everything was perfect throughout my meal. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Five stars all around!“

“Had the grouper Pontchartrain last night. It was unbelievably good. Probably the best thing I’ve ever had! Service was great too! Thank you, I will be back for it!“

“everything was great. especially the clam chowder. blue cheese olives are a must with the martini.“

“So yummy ❤️ it was delicious“

“Really cheap seafood that tastes above its weight class. It's ran by Vietnamese people and everything is really fresh.

I knew it was good when I walked in and saw elderly black people eating there cause they are usually super discerning of their seafood. 💯“

“We go here so often we are on a first name basis. I have to warn you their food is addictive. We love everything we've had and even hosted several parties there. Definitely recommend this incredible local place over the big brands!“

“Yummy fish nuggets! Friendly staff!“

“We came all the way from VA and this was one of the first places on the list to go eat and let me tell you it did not disappoint! We came around lunch time and you can tell it's a fav spot for locals. We were happy to wait and it was well worth it. Don't miss out by passing this place up.“

“Went for special celebration. Staff acknowledge our special celebration with a card, flower and dessert. Our server was very welcoming, engaging, and attentive. Meal was outstanding, recommend doing half portions of the side dishes so you can try more than one.“

“Seasons 52 is always consistent and never disappoints, no matter which location I visit. The lamb loin was seasoned perfectly and cooked to perfection. The food and service are consistently excellent, making Seasons 52 a dependable choice for a great dining experience.“

“It was my First time eating here and it was so good! The portion sizes overall were a great size for the price. Around $55 with Uber eats Texas delivery charges, and driver tip. I had the Birria quesadilla, the large portion of rice, Chips with queso, Tres leches cake, and the Horchata for my drink. I was hungry and I wanted to get the full experience of what the restaurant had to offer. Leftovers are always a bonus! For my first order, I ordered for delivery on Uber Eats. Despite being delivery, Everything was hot, fresh and well packaged. I will say the Birria quesadilla was a little soggy on the bottom, but it tasted fantastic! Some of the best Beria I’ve had. The queso tasted homemade, flavorful, fresh and delicious! The portion of the tortilla chips, took up an entire brown paper bag full! (in my opinion when I order Mexican food for delivery and I see a big brown paper bag stuffed completely full of seasoned tortilla chips, that’s how I know the rest of the food is going to taste amazing!) I love the small detail of the seasoned chips. It’s like putting sprinkles on a cupcake. It’s not needed, but it makes it better. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. My Birria quesadilla came with small sides of guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. Even though the food didn’t need it at all and was flavorful and delicious without it. A few small critique I can give is that Tres Leche cake piece that I got was extremely small unfortunately, which I wasn’t expecting. It was only three small bites if that, but it was really delicious! My second critique is, I wish they offered a bigger cup of Horchata like they have the larger option for the Rice. Horchata is one of my favorite drinks, but honestly I can’t complain too much because everything including the Horchata and Tres leches cake was so good! I guess my only complaint is that there wasn’t more Horchata and Tres Leches cake. The slightly soggy texture of the Birria quesadilla I contributed to the fact that it was delivered still hot in a Styrofoam container, & I don’t consider that the restaurants fault. if I was giving a rating I would still give it a 10 out of 10. 100 percent! I will be eating here again, these small critiques that I have would not even change my rating! And I have leftovers so there’s some bonus points!Delicious food with overall large portions for the price!You guys did a great job! Thank you so much for preparing my amazing meal !!🩷 I will tell my friends about this place and bring my family back here to sit at the restaurant next time instead of ordering from Uber Eats for delivery. fantastic food. Highly recommended!“

“Cozy tiki bar feeling. Friendly and the food was fantastic.“

“Zachary was our fun, witty, entertaining, attentive, spot on server. Drinks, food, atmosphere is excellent. You might have a wait to be seated as we did; but totally worth it!“

“Excellent fresh food from a new Englander who knows!“

“the sea food was delicious nutritious and the price was not suspicious“

“Myself and a coworker came here for the first time after work and Kayla was our server. She had great recommendations and was very attentive to us. The cinnamon bun ala mode was amazing. I will definitely be here every week. 🤭“

“Really any food their cook makes is good ... I order food there almost on a daily basis, but sometimes i feel like eating something different that isn't in their menu... guess what these guys always find a way to make me happy and go beyond to do so, even making those things that they normally don't sale and isn't even in their menu... and guess what compared to places that do have the exact same item in their Menu Billy's is way better! i think that says it all ... their establishment might be humble but the quality of their food is that of the best anywhere in Town.. It really is all about the chef! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“So yummy ❤️ it was delicious“

“Tonight I ordered dinner from Four Brothers Eatery. AMAZING FOOD.The mix of spices they use is so sweet and tangy and flavorful. My family each ordered something different and none of us were disappointed. The portions, flavor, temperature were over the top. Leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yummy!!! Definitely will be ordering from them again“

“It was a super casual, themed restaurant with the blinds pulled down, making it dark and cool. We had the cajon seasoned seafood boil, which was delicious and a side of fries. Server was new, but still knew the menu well. The iced tea was fresh. It was super slow, so everything arrived quickly and I recommend the experience!“

“last night my husband and i went for our 47th anniversary.it is our go to for special occasions.we went on tomahawk tuesday everything was exceptional ,steak was tender and juicy and the sides were perfect.the server and the floor manager was very attentive it was a great dining experience thank you“

“I was born & raised in central Florida and love seafood! So I tend to be pretty particular. The fried shrimp are delicious, as are the crab cakes and hush puppies! Even the fries & coleslaw are great! Food was fairly priced and service was excellent. And lastly, the Wharf area is a fun, lively area. Definitely exceeded expectations! We highly recommend Half Moon Seafood! Thanks for the delicious lunch!“
