Best Waterfront Restaurants in Tampa

Fantastic experience at Predalina. From the atmosphere, service to food-all top notch. Special shoutout to our server, Omar! He was a gem. Honest and accommodating! We will be back. And soon!

The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

UPDATED as of 12/23/2024: This was one of my wife’s favorite restaurants, she loves the vibe - and the foods pretty good. However, this most recent experience was highly unfavorable and disappointing. To start, we were seated - then waited over 15 minutes for someone to walk up to our table, she took our drink orders… she then went to grab our server. I thought nothing of it, because we are so used to high caliber service here… so we looked past it. An hour goes by, and we have seen our waiter between 4 or 5 times. The other tables around us - their waiters were very present and visited their table every few minutes. We rarely order alcohol, but our drinks were not as great as we remembered. However, the food was incredible (awesome job to the kitchen)! I then was brought a Diet Coke, when I ordered a regular coke - so there were just mishaps all over the place (besides the kitchen). I then sat and waited over 20 minutes for our waiter to come back by so I could pay the bill. I ended up going to the hosts to ask for our waiter, and it still took longer than I thought it should for him to come to our table. I am typically a VERY generous tipper, and for the first time in over 10 years I tipped below 20%… my wife was utterly shocked - because she had never seen me tip that low. Things took a turn when I received a call from the manager because of a thumbs down on the survey as I paid the bill. She apologized profusely and stated would have a coaching with the gentleman serving our table. She truly understood how they fell below par, given our previous experiences there. She stated she would send me a gift card (via mail), and text me so I would have her contact and to let her know the next time my wife and I were coming. Update: My wife and I received the gift card in the mail, and will return very soon. Thank you American Social for making this right, I appreciate it.

We had such a good time, we also ate there another night and loved the food, the entertainment was not great but it was nice and quiet for brunch. Food was delicious and our server Johana went overboard to help us celebrate my nephew’s birthday.

We had a great meal at BLUFIN and very good customer service. We had hoped to sit outside to admire the beautiful view but we sat in the dining room due to rain which worked out just fine. Big windows behind the bar showcase the bay outside. We'd recommend this to anyone in the Tampa area.
