Best Steak Restaurants in South Bradenton

You haven’t been to Charley’s and gotten the full experience unless you’ve had Adonis as your server. He made us feel like we were royalty and his passion when explaining the steak and food options really elevated our experience. The food choices we made (some which were great recommendations by Adonis) were all what we expected when going to a restaurant of this caliber. However, the service we received from Adonis is what sets Charley’s apart from every steak house in Tampa. Request Adonis and ask to sit by the fish tank for date night in order to enjoy some great food and a great atmosphere for you and a loved one.

I REALLY liked Flemings’ previous Tampa location, as it was more of a low a key calmer dining experience. Having said that, the new Tampa Flagship location is also very good. New location service is impeccable. New location is EXTREMELY loud inside vs the older previous location. Regardless, service and food is GREAT!

The best steak ever! We ordered the Ruth’s Classic three course dinner and it was perfect. My mom loved the lobster! Portions are generous and our waiter Chris was friendly and attentive. The dining room was lovely and it was easy to have a conversation. The prices are expensive, but you know that before going. Perfect for a special occasion!

The food was spectacular. The service was outstanding. The only issue was the restaurant had no hand wipes or finger bowls to clean your hands after eating a seafood tower appetizer. With small bathrooms, hand washing was not easy to gain access to. At this price point you don’t expect your hands to be sticky and engulfed in a seafood smell for the duration of your meal after ordering a $113 appetizer. They were out of handi-wipes according to the server. That should not happen at a restaurant charging this much. Will I return? Absolutely, I just won’t order raw seafood appetizers.

Our table ordered ribeyes, sea bass, and a filet. They were all prepared exactly as ordered, and delicious! But it’s really the service that makes this place special. The staff are friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about their entire menu including wines. Sit at a booth and enjoy your evening!
