Reviews
I came for a work dinner, which had a fixed menu. The little fried shrimp scampi appetizer was amazing; I could easily have eaten 25 of them and called it a meal but alas, we only got two each. I liked the house salad which had the perfect amount of funky cheese. I got the seafood pasta which was pretty good. Very very large shrimp. Honestly when the shrimp get that big imo the flavor actually takes a hit. The linguine was served in a thin sauce that was mildly lemony and mildly buttery. Funny enough, the pasta was served with a side of potatoes (same side everyone got, which makes sense since most people got steak). The potatoes were great! I have no idea how they got them that perfect crispy outside/soft inside texture. Dessert was a mango sorbet. All in all a good meal.
Here's another review from our last visit to Tampa. We came here for dinner with our business friends. It's a beautiful steakhouse located in a building. Hubby and I shared a seafood pasta and NY strip. The pasta was excellent, and the steak was tasty. I thought the seafood pasta was the best of the night. Our friends had filet mignon and wedge salad. They said the filet mignon was excellent. Lila was our waitress. Since she knew about Hubby's and our friend's birthdays, they brought us two plates of desserts for the boys. That was awesome! More sweets! I didn't get to explore the entire restaurant, but from the entrance to the table, I saw that the place looked fantastic! Excellent food and service! We hope they survived the recent hurricane so we can revisit next time.
Had a double date birthday celebration dinner, and it was nice. Staff was very friendly and provided great selections on drinks and food. Crab cakes were great! Crab post - Yankee style. Kinda spicy but good. Steak cooked perfectly but was fatty. Will come back with the girls for dinner.
Went for my boyfriend's birthday for the first time. It was nothing short of perfect. Seating was cozy and intimate, service was amazing, checked in at the perfect times and had wonderful recommendations. Food was to die for, I still think about the potatoes malio and we visited a few weeks ago. Everything was very fairly priced as well, I was surprised for Tampa. Overall this is one of our new favorite spots. We can't wait to go back
We were in the mood for a steak and made a stop here. It is inside an office building. I would call the vibe and decor high-end casual. The filet mignon was tender and delicious. The drinks and side were good too. Service was a little slow but that's a nit.
