It took over two hours for us to have our meal, we had to ask for a server and it was still several minutes before they came.

Our server was very slow and had an abrasive manner. Beautiful view of the water. Pecan crusted amberjack was overcooked, dry and tough. The pecan crust was too thick and tasted blah. Hardly any burre blanc sauce to cover over the dry fish. The key lime pie was gritty and left an odd taste and mouth feel. The lobster ravioli was very tasty. We wouldn’t recommend.

Had a great Valentine dinner here. Sat outside with a great view of the river. Our server, Brie, was outstanding! We're from Orlando, so whenever we're in Tampa it will be our go to place.

Great experience here. We ran late due to traffic...no problem, sat us right away when we arrived. We let the server know we had a 730 show. Took our order. Drinks and salads came out within minutes. Dinners followed promptly afterwards. Delicious swordfish served over fresh spinach and wife enjoyed short ribs. Still had time for dessert! Warm chocolate chip cookies sundae. Was a little loud, but the place was packed and the service was still terrific. So we'll be back.
