Our visit was on Groundhog Day, lucky us, six more weeks of cooler weather. Great day to stroll this amazing theme park. Animals appeared to be more active today than in the heat of summer. Wonderful wildlife (caged or fenced in) viewing areas throughout the park. Many thrill rides and children areas. A very nice train ride where you can see many different animals. Train has wheelchair access on board. A variety of dining options; somewhat pricey. Lunch for two, Chicken Tenders / Fries / two drinks can set you back over $30. There is 10% off food, 20% off merchandise with annual pass. Check web site as prices and offers may change. Many of the attraction and shows were closed due to maintenance or health concerns. Just the same, a very enjoyable day out with family. Park is clean and staff are polite and pleasant. Recommended checking website for prices, events, and times before showing up in the parking lot.

Overall wasn’t the best experience, some rides are really fun, train ride was good as well, however most animals on the train ride can’t be seen. Lines are fast moving and organized. Layout is cute. Some misters around the park to cool off was much needed, more would have been perfect. Customer service is basically non existent in the restaurant and cafe we went in. Would we go again not sure 🤔

We went to Busch Gardens for a day when it got a bit chilly for beach fun. It was Monday, December, 3rd, the last day of Christmas break and it wasn’t very crowded. Quick queue passes and all day dining made our day really easy and stress free. These triple the cost of your ticket but are well worth it, if don’t want to spend all the time in lines and have several teenagers in the family who eat a lot like we do. All day dining includes an entrée, a side or desert and a fountain drink in any of 5 main restaurants every hour. It doesn’t include any snacks or other food vendors. Mind: you still have to wait in lines to get food in restaurants, so we didn’t even go to a BBQ place that smelled so good, the line was probably more than an hour long there and we didn’t want to waste time. We also went on Serengeti safari tour and loved it: got to feed the giraffes and see all the animals up close. The rides are awesome, me and our youngest kid 9y.o. did some family friendly rides, which were too much for me anyways (I just can’t do any roller coasters). My husband with older kids had a blast on all the crazy rides. Everyone loved our day in Busch Gardens, we’ll definitely be back.

Went on a Tuesday mid July. Park was fairly busy but literally everything was shut down. It rained for a bit but other than that it was just cloudy but they kept the rides and games closed anyways. I was there for 4 hours and got to ride 1 ride and play 1 game, the rest of the time was us walking around the park trying to find something to do. The animal exhibits were cool though, animals were very active. Don’t get the all day dining. It only works for certain restaurants and their food is sub par at best since it seems it’s not very organized in terms of making it and getting it out. I got chicken tenders and fries and it made me almost puke (I hate saying this because I know it’s an amusement park, but this was just bad). The one ride I rode was fun though, it was the new iron coaster and was a lot of fun. Line went by at a decent pace and the ride itself was fun. Staff were friendly and helpful whenever we needed it. Honestly, just save your money and go to universal or somewhere else. $300 to waste that I can’t get a refund on!

A great place for families with children. We spent three days there - that's all you need to see and do all the attractions. great option to travel by train around the complex - safari wonderful! Sesame Street and attractions around it - very well thought out, for children of all ages and more. We had a great time here! We'll be back someday :)

The fun card pass works best because we had rain for several days and you may not always qualify for a rain pass refund. We can also use this particular pass for the rest of the year, in case we decide to go back. The all day meal pass works best for large groups. Several restaurants provide a good portion size, so kids could probably share a meal together from one pass. The train ride is perfect for getting to different areas of the park, while getting photos of the wildlife. Make sure to check out the shows, they had an ice skating show that was a quality event, plus it is cool inside, if you need a break from the heat. The vehicle parking is across the street from the park. They have a tunnel that allows you to access the preferred parking area, which gets you really close to the entrance (it's a $15 premium over regular parking). If you download the app, the map feature will actually help guide you through the park. The location function must be active on the phone. The app will also store all your passes if you buy online, so you will not need to keep up with tickets. If it is raining, some of the walking paths can be slick. We saw one kid running and tried stopping quickly and ended up on their behind.

I've been here a bunch of times over the years, ever since I was a kid, back with the original owners of the theme park. I most recently visited in Feb 2023. It was fun. It wasn't as fun compared to ten or twenty years ago. I feel like the park has lost some of its luster. Not run down per se, but just not as much upkeep as I remember compared to previous visits. But, the roller coasters were a lot of fun. And if that's why you're coming to Busch Gardens, and it probably is, then it's a decent place to visit.

Fantastic, you get to experience the best of both worlds a zoo and a theme park. My son and I could not explore much because it was raining, and the park had to close for weather safety. We Will go back. The rides are cool and exciting. Many restaurants, and the ambiance is exciting. The scenery is different than other theme parks. That is what makes it unique.

This is my first time at this location. I was very surprised to find that not only does the park have rides and attractions but it also has a grief focus on wild animals. There is an Animal Care Center that you can enter and at times there will be a veterinarian taking care of an animal. There are exam rooms that have clear glass in front of them so that you can observe what the doctor does with the animals. The park seems to be well-designed for families. I would recommend this place if you want thrill rides animals and family fun!

I love Busch gardens. I used to go to the one in Virginia. I felt it was much better in the terms of maintenance. May be the Tampa bay park isn’t that well maintained probably due to they just opening to public after Covid. I had gone to this park in the late summer of last year. This location also has a small zoo. The roller coasters are pretty good, the park has something for everyone. They also have shows. Would definitely come back here.

Been a Florida resident my whole life and Busch Gardens never disappoints. It is a fantastic park! The animals, the rides, the attractions... they even have up close animal encounters which are amazing. I would definitely recommend everyone go spend the day. As the rides are exciting, the park itself is relaxing and caters to everyone... whether you are a ride enthusiast, park lover, admirer of animals... everyone will have a great day.

We always have a great time at Busch Gardens! Lots of exciting roller coasters, beautiful animals with amazing conservation efforts, and fun shows. We liked the new Summer shows. Open late for Summer Nights. Closed a few times for Summer thunder storms, but that's to be expected in the Florida Summer. They do a great job keeping everyone safe. Wonderful staff! Very accommodating for my child with autism. Oasis Pizza was yummy! Our favorite is always the pretzels at Twisted Tail though. That's a must try! The price of the drink refills have gone up again, but the cups are still a good deal, especially when you want to stay hydrated in this heat. You'll wish you got a refillable cup. Love having a pass and we will definitely be back!

First time at Busch Gardens, and it was great overall. My wife and I went on Friday, and it was surprisingly quit empty for a Friday, so it meant super quick lines. We never had to wait much for any of the rides. The ride "Kumba" was closed along with one of the water rides, which was a bummer. Also, some of the animal attraction places were empty with no signs, so that was a waste of time. Parking was $30 for the day ($45 for preferred parking), but you can take the mini tram that drives you to the front entrance of the park. The rides were definitely fun. Food options are okay over there, and the markups on beverages/water are insane (we paid close to $6 for a water bottle there...). The park felt like it was missing more rides as we got done pretty quick with no lines, and it also felt like workers were just waiting around. All in all, I'd definitely recommend paying a visit if you are in town as the rides are fun and thrilling.

This place is awesome!! It has a lot of roller coasters for adults and young people and there is a special area for kids that is pretty big! You can find food, beverages, souvenirs and more! You can also enjoy the different attractions and shows, you can spend the whole day here without being bored. I really recommend it. I had a really great time here.

The Tampa Aquarium has really upped their game, having been many years since we last visited. Great galleries covering just about every kind of fish and living creature in and around the Gulf. Never have seen so many people there at once, plenty of room and did not feel crowded. Bathrooms were clean, as was the entire building. Parking can be a bit difficult, best to park in the ramp across the street and walk a few 100 feet. We had a wonderful time and will visit again soon.

Probably one of the most organized aquariums I’ve been too! A few hours is all you need. There is a splash pad for kids, a touch tank and many cool and unique are pieces though the exhibits. Not overly crowded, but maneuvered my way around the people

Was blown away! Traveling from Seattle we had a lot of kill time after ending our cruise and, what’s more convenient than a aquarium right next door?! We took the opportunity to visit this aquarium with a huge chance to kill many hours before our flight and we had a good 3-4 hours of picture taking, and walking around to cover. They even had a full food court to enjoy lunch. We arrived at opening with 5 pieces of luggage and they even have a system to leave your belongings (at no cost)for those who have that concern of being stuck with luggage like we were. The place is nice cooled for us non-Florida folk, good gracious you people got it hot! From sharks to rays, and eels to 🐧 penguins this place had it. I saw various species of fish and mammals and even got to feel jellyfish and sting rays! Seattle is known to have a nice aquarium, but it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the Florida aquarium! This is a great opportunity for anyone to go and visit. It’s a gem!

I love this place. Each tank has a gorgeous display of sea creatures. Very clean. Fish look very healthy. I loved the penguin add on experience. I will never forget how adorable they are. The women who taught us about the penguins were fantastic. You can tell they really love their animals. The boat ride is a little pricey and mostly you see the industrial canal. We did see dolphins riding the bow waves of a big ship coming in which was cool. Watching the sharks get fed was really interesting. The food at the cafe was really good. Definitely try the Korean steak and noodle bowl. I also thought the soak pad for the kids was a great idea. The garden eels are my favorite to watch. This place is expensive but I do feel it is worth it.

Wow what an aquarium. We spent 3 hours there and really enjoyed all the exhibits they have. I enjoyed seeing the Lemurs and learning about the many varieties of Jellyfish. My husband enjoyed the Otters and we both enjoyed seeing the sharks and the schools of fish swimming in a circle. There is a water feature for kids to play in as well as a place to catch lunch along with a well stocked gift shop. It's a bit pricey but young kids will love the exhibits and the hands on stations throughout the aquarium.

Awesome experience at the aquarium! Great for young children. I would recommend that you purchase the annual pass if your a local. After paying for parking and tickets it’s only 20 dollars more to become an annual member. With the annual membership you get free parking. You have to purchase your membership before you come and register your car so you can take advantage of the free parking. Facility is very well maintained with a splash zone for kids and lots of hands on exhibits.

I was blown away by this aquarium! We spent about 4 hours here, which was so unexpected. I’ve been to the Georgia Aquarium (which has huge exhibits and shows) more times than I could count and I loved this one just as much. It’s very unique and there is just so much to see! We were also really impressed with the people who worked there. If you have small kids, be sure to pack a bathing suit and/or a change of clothes. There is a nice outdoor splash pad that we had no idea about!

Awesome day spent at the Florida Aquarium. There are lots of different things to see and look at. I definitely recommend getting the membership if you have small kiddos. They offer military discount. They have a great outdoor splash pad area. There is also a bar outdoors that offers lemonades, water and alcohol. There is an indoor restaurant area that you can order food at.

One of the best aquarium experiences I have ever had. So many exhibits and species to see! The Madagascar exhibit is amazing with the open air birds and fish all together in one dome! I was blown away by the reef tank as well 500'000 gallons! Definitely a must see when in or near Tampa! Use the website to buy tickets it's cheaper!

I've never been so jealous of not being a fish or porpoise. The entire establishment is expertly clean and meticulous on presentation. The care for the animals is paramount, and it shows. My family and I enjoyed every moment of the day at the aquarium. The pictures we took came out incredible. This aquarium is a shining example of how to care and run a successful and sustainable business, equally beneficial to its inhabitants and patrons.

I really love this aquarium!! I have been there twice now. They have such a great variety of animals. I would highly recommend it for all ages. There is construction in the parking lot but it wasn’t to bad. U just have to walk a little farther. The first time I went here there were not very many people but the second time an elementary school was visiting. I’m happy for them that they could go in sure it’s very fun and educational for the kids but it was SO loud and packed with kids running around. I liked it a lot better the first time without all the noise.

This is one of the best aquariums I've ever seen! We had a phenomenal experience seeing and interacting with the different animals. The birds were in a bigger room so we could get pretty close to them. It was very interesting seeing them eating and how they move around. There are three expositions where you can touch the animals: the stingray, the jellyfish and the starfish. They had a nice eating dinner with and inside and an outside area. As well as a kids splash area outside.

A Wonderful Experience for All Ages I had the opportunity to visit the Tampa Aquarium in Florida and I must say it was a truly enchanting experience. The aquarium offers an incredible variety of marine animals and attractions that captivate visitors of all ages. Upon entering, I was immediately taken aback by the beauty and diversity of the aquatic animals. From colorful tropical fish to majestic sharks, there's a vast array of species to explore. The tanks are designed in such a way as to provide a clear and close view of the animals, which makes the experience even more exciting. The quality of the facilities is simply exceptional. The tanks are well maintained and clean, providing a healthy environment for the animals. Additionally, staff are always available to answer questions and provide information about the animals and their habitats. One of the things that impressed me the most was the affordable price of the ticket. Considering the size of the aquarium and the quality of the experience offered, the amount charged is very reasonable. The aquarium also offers discounts for families and groups, making it even more affordable for everyone. The environment inside the aquarium is peaceful and relaxing. The soft lighting and background music create a calm and immersive atmosphere, perfect for enjoying the beauty of marine animals. There are also comfortable rest areas where you can sit and gaze at the surrounding marine life. The aquarium offers a complete program for families, with interactive activities that delight children and adults alike. There are educational presentations, animal feeding and even the opportunity to touch some species. Children are sure to love this unique experience. Parking at the Tampa Aquarium is convenient and spacious. There is ample space available, which facilitates the arrival and departure of visitors. In addition, safety is a priority, with staff present throughout the area to ensure visitors' peace of mind. In summary, my visit to the Tampa Aquarium was simply wonderful. The variety of marine animals, the interactive attractions, the quality of the facilities, the affordable price, the relaxing environment, the family program, the convenient parking and the security are aspects that make this aquarium highly recommended for everyone. If you're looking for a fascinating and educational experience, don't miss the Tampa Aquarium.

Amazing!!! Best aquarium I’ve been to. I loved seeing its wide variety of fish, birds, and other animals. I especially loved watching the sharks! I spent quite a few minutes just watching the shark tank—I loved watching the sharks, stingrays, and moray eels! I visited once last summer and again this summer. I loved it both times!

Excellent aquarium but very crowded. They could definitely use more sharks. There's only two big sharks and one little bonnet head. Kind of pricey and parking is expensive but otherwise a good time. They also have a playground if you have the kids.

It was a hot summer day, so we took the kids to the zoo! Everything went well, but one observation was that some of the animals were not out, and the kids did not get to see them and experience them. The water activities kept the kids cool and refreshed as we walked around, and the rides were easily accessible (no major lines or wait times). We got the yearly pass for less than the day pass, so we will be going more often for sure!

Loved this zoo!! Well kept/ maintained/ organized! Such a large assortment of animals. Bought the one day ticket that is good for free entry for the rest of the year, so I will be back! Highly recommend. Skip the restaurant, though, high prices, not the best food, and they overcharged us for 3 drinks/ sodas when we only ordered 2. Didn't realize until we got home, and they were $6 each. Great gift shop!

It was a well maintained place. We came when most kids went back to school so it was pretty empty so we could see everything pretty fast. I highly recommend coming to visit. It has a nice water fountain for anyone to cool off so I recommend wearing a swimsuit or fast drying clothing. Overall my experience was awesome. One thing I kind of was sad was most of the animals couldn’t be seen. Maybe they were hiding from the heat or something else. The Zoo was nice, and clean. Would totally recommend!!

This place was a lot of fun. They have a lot of neat exhibits in there are very interesting animals there. I also really like the Safari ride. It's not as big as a Busch gardens, but it's still very nice suit to visit. It is also very family friendly for young kids.

We had a blast at this place. My boys were mesmerized by the the range of animals. Mommy, Daddy, and Auntie enjoyed the numerous beverages carts around the zoo. I give this place 5 stars but many of the animals were inside due to the chilly weather. Not the Zoo's fault but we didn't see the whole park. It's still deserves 5 stars based off what we saw.

Absolutely loved it here. Great experience and was well worth the money. You can spend many hours here. We spent about 3 hours here. Tons of different animals here and you can tell the zookeepers love their jobs and the animals. They have many backstage experiences as well for an additional cost. Tons of different shows to go see as well in the different regions of the world. Tons of food and beverage spots around the park so if you are in need of something they have it. Parking is free and overall we had a great time here!

The entrance fee was quite pricey - right around $45. The grounds were nicely maintained, and the staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. Had wonderful service from Ryan at the gift shop where we picked up our electric carts for the day. They were also prepared to store our walkers for us in a secure area and were very quick to retrieve them when we arrived back. Food prices were more reasonable than I anticipated, I suggest purchasing their refillable beverage cups when you get there - you can skip the lines and refill the cup as often as you like with soda or icees.

We got a membership a few months ago and have been four times. It is small enough to see everything, but big enough to have some very cool animals. I love the talks they give about being good stewards of our incredible animals and their efforts towards conservation. When we lived here 25 years ago, my little ones loved going, and now taking them as adults is just as much fun.

Visited a few times in different years, and it's always a great experience. The animals are well cared for, and their conservation is very extensive and impressionable. My son loves seeing the animals, the staff are always on hand for questions and the food on site is really good 👍 will be going here again for years to come no doubt.

This Zoo has some of the best natural habitats for their animals that we've seen. The staff is also great. The safari is worth the wait as well. We spent most of the day here and still didn't make all of the exhibits. The manatees are great to see up close. The water ride was such a blast for the kids that they went twice! We can't wait to come back again soon.

Great zoo experience User Create a 25-line review, talking about the excellent experience at the Tampa Zoo, variety of animals, attractions, quality, affordable price, environment, family program, great experience, parking, security and recommend it to everyone. ChatGPT Tampa Zoo Review: A Great Experience for the Whole Family I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Tampa Zoo and was blown away by my experience. This zoo offers an incredible variety of animals and attractions that captivate people of all ages. Upon entry, I was greeted by friendly and helpful staff who gave me information about the different areas of the zoo. The variety of animals present is impressive - from the majestic African elephants to the adorable meerkats, there is something for everyone. One of the things that most impressed me was the quality of the facilities. The animal enclosures are spacious and well maintained, providing a natural environment for the animals to live. In addition, the zoo offers regular lectures and demonstrations, where you can learn more about the animals' habits and behaviors. A positive point that I must highlight is the affordable price of the ticket. Compared to other zoos, the amount charged is very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the experience offered. The zoo also offers discount options for families and groups, which makes visiting even more affordable. The zoo environment is very pleasant. There are shaded areas to rest and many food options, from quick snacks to full meals. The well-signposted trails and lush vegetation make the ride even more enjoyable, providing a sense of immersion in nature. Another highlight is the program for families. The zoo offers interactive activities, such as feeding animals and encounters with caretakers, which make a visit even more memorable for children. There is also a children's play area with games and toys to keep the little ones entertained. The parking issue was also resolved. There is ample space available, with many vacancies, which makes it very easy for visitors. In addition, security is taken seriously, with staff and surveillance cameras ensuring a safe environment for everyone. In summary, my visit to the Tampa Zoo was an excellent experience. The variety of animals, the interactive attractions, the quality of the facilities, the affordable price, the pleasant environment, the program for families, parking and security were aspects that impressed me positively. I recommend this zoo to anyone looking for an educational and fun experience for the whole family.

I visited ZooTampa at Lowry Park back in 2021. The place is very big, so I suggest you give yourself some time to explore. I really enjoyed their selection of birds. The monkey exhibit is really cute. You can watch them swing around on ropes and climb towers. If you like hands on experiences- there is an area where the birds are very friendly and sometimes they come so close that they touch you, for myself it was a very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend this Zoo.

This zoo is so good we originally went for the day but decided to get a yearly membership. Definitely worth joining, plus 50% of other zoos and aquariums that take part in it. Animals are in habitats that resemble their natural habitat. What an awesome experience to say the least. Go online and plan out your day by feeding the giraffes, or doing one of the other activities with an animal. A kid area with rides, and games for them to play for an additional cost. Also don't forget to ride the safari truck that explains about the different African animals in that area of the zoo. I highly recommend stopping by and checking out what it has to offer.

Beautiful bridge! Tolls are only a few dollars and people are frequently paying it forward! Traffic is busy at rush hour but the view is always amazing. Boating underneath is easy to navigate and views are equally impressive! Dont miss this one;)

We went night fishing and we caught a good amount of cat fish. It wasn't too windy and it was actually nice out side. Also I caught my 1st fish in 25 years!

Love this bridge; I agree with the reviews calling it a must see! Lots of great photo ops, fun to drive on, and there's at least one pulloff spot near the Skyway for viewing. Non-emergency stopping, pedestrians, and bicyclists are prohibited on the bridge.

Love driving over the Skyway Bridge! Awesome views! Fishing piers below Sometimes windsurfing taking place Have also cruised underneath this bridge Read about the History of the Bridge Interesting!

First time going to Tampa/St. Petersburg -- and I insisted in going on this bridge. This bridge is an engineering marvel! I love the design, the imagery and it is really beautiful. I am definitely coming back in April! :-)

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is one of the most iconic landmarks in Florida, and for good reason. This stunning bridge offers breathtaking views of the Gulf of Mexico, making it a must-see destination for anyone visiting the area. Paying the toll to cross the bridge is well worth it, as the views are simply spectacular. The best time to drive across is at sunset, when the sky turns shades of pink, orange, and purple, creating a truly magical experience. You'll feel as if you're driving into a painting! In addition to the incredible views, there are fishing piers on both the north and south ends of the bridge, making it a popular spot for fishing enthusiasts. For those who just want to relax and take in the scenery, there are rest areas at both ends of the bridge with nice facilities. One of the coolest things about the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is the lighting at night. The bridge is illuminated with colorful lights that change throughout the night, creating a beautiful and mesmerizing display. If you're lucky, you may even spot some pelicans using the draft from the cars driving by to glide up alongside the bridge and then dive down into the water to catch a fish. It's a truly amazing sight to see!

A super good fun to be had sort of place. It's really the employees that put this over the top, as far as I'm concerned these employees are genuinely cheerful and not just putting on a show. The building itself is very well cleaned and laid out so one's not having to walk from end to end in search of a cocktail or a hot spot in which to feed a roll of quarters. The food is never bland or nondescript. Fresh salads and fabulous bar burgers are always a part of a diverse menu. Next time you're looking for a get away weekend, it's not necessary to leave the greater Tampa area, just head over to Hard Rock and a great time will be had by all .

The Hard Rock Casino is a really cool and fun place to go! My dad always said to me to only bring what you're willing to lose because if you win and walk out with more money then you came with, then that's great, but there's always a chance you will spend everything you brought. There are so many different and newer slot machines, different card games, and the hotel rooms are beautiful! Just make sure you are having fun because even when I walk out with less money, I usually still had a great time. The food is amazing no matter which restaurant you go to! The staff makes sure you are safe, and if there's a problem, go to a blue shirt staff member and they will take care of you.

This place was very nice inside an out. The employees where very nice an helpful to any services we needed. I lost my phone while in the casino an after finding the lost an found which was a trick (until a gentleman lead) the way I was able to get it back. They said 95% of lost phones an 85% of other items are turned into the lost an found. Which is awesome there team an security keep a close eye on everything to make it safe for their guest and their belongings .. But over all everything was great . kinda pricey but nothing less expected being a casino..

Liked the Casino as they have non smoking areas which I prefer. It's large enough and have all the games I enjoy except for Stadium Blackjack. The rooms were really nice ,comfortable and clean. There are a few nice shops to help you spend your winnings...if your lucky. The restaurants we went to were good and I am looking forward to my next visit.

Beautiful casino...VERY TIGHT MACHINES! $1200 Dollars in a hour and a half...25 cent machine's. Didn't see a server for 45 minutes. However after we got service...they were more frequent and very pleasant! I would like to have seen more nickel machines, to stretch out playing time. It would have been more fun if the machines would have let us play. Still a lot of fun!

This is my favorite place to retreat to when I need a break from my immediate world I mean for me it's like visiting an adults playground they have it all and your always welcomed with a smile no matter what time you choose to come rolling units 24 hours so I like to avoid big crowds my usual arrival time is between 3 and 5 am and I get out of there by noon the very latest I have gone all different times as well as stayed for a week strait utilizing the hotel portion and they do st times pack on the players I never thought it was too packed to enjoy oneself but just prefer off hours so 8 can roam around and not worry bout how I look or getting hot on usually no conversations more playing is best for my taste and just cuz it's slow no worries you may still win they don't set any time restraints on jackpots just in case anyone may have questioned their abilities 24 hours of fun fair playtime. ... Come whenever you are feeling lucky

Had a great time. Ate at the noodle bar, the hard rock Cafe, Rise, and also used room service. All were very good with reasonable prices. Casino had good variety of games. I won some and lost some but it was fun. Parking easy. Not so good were cigarette ashes on some consoles and the smell of cigarettes permeated the whole casino. Bring an eye shade if sharing a room. For some strange reason there are windows from the bathrooms that cast light into the bedroom at night whenever your roommate goes to the bathroom. Not cool in the early morning hours. Beds were comfortable and clean. Nice decor. I would recommend a stay.

Truly enjoy my first night at the hard rock within 30 seconds. I want $533. I was so happy staff are awesome. They greet you with a smile in their voice and with a calming affect. While providing excellent customer services and anything timely manner accommodate customers I lost my phone at one of the machines and a few employees assisted me as a disabled veteran, which was very nice and appreciate it. I will continue to go to the hard rock and play with my luck only because you guys are awesome. Staff assisting customers and making our day brighter *_*!!

Hard Rock is nice place to visit. Pool is smallish but seems nice. Plenty of slots to play and they have a special during the week during the height of the day for $5 Blackjack games (at least right now). It can be a little confusing to tell where smoking and non-smoking is and you can get a little lost with how much is actually in the building. Decent variety of eateries, but be aware that prices are a little high but understandably high. There's not really much in the area to go do something else. You have to go about 20-30 minutes away to get to other attractions. Overall great place to visit for a day of fun in Tampa. Center Bar If you go here for a visit and drink, ask for Dana K. What a delightful server! Not only was she genuinely nice, but wonderful to talk to, attentive to the table, and easy to understand (music overhead of the bar). You want a nice experience with a great smile and beyond friendly server, go find Dana K.

Just stopped in for a little gambling and to get something to eat. I was a little disappointed in the casino. First of all, it was way, way too hot inside. In fact, we left early just because of that. Secondly, they really need to address overflowing ashtrays and trash cans. I'm not sure what the issue was, but I've never seen anything like it inside a casino. We ate at the Rock n Raw and everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. The service was barely average. It wasn't really very busy and it really should have been better. Overall the experience was only fair and if I return, it will only be because it was a convenient location for us.

This is a great casino hotel resort. The rooms are well presented and the pool is great. The restaurant is brilliant and with the live band makes it a real experience whilst dining! The casino area is very accommodating especially good for high rollers. Extra shout out to Travis and his team who looks after us and makes sure we have a great stay!

The casino is a 10/10 absolute gamblers paradise! I was shocked by how big it was and how many games they have to offer. It wasn't until about an hour in that I even discovered the other side. I stayed all evening easily. One thing I will say is go with $$ to spend if you want to have a good time. The max bet on all of the machines seemed really high for what I'm used to. Overall it was a great time and I'd love to go back!

For whatever reason the Saturday that I win seemed busier than usual. Not that that was a problem. I love the energy I love this casino very clean staff is always friendly and the games are always fun. The amenities are nice bathrooms are clean. Just a good weekend spot. Not sure when I'm going to go out there again but I'm sure it's not soon enough. Can't wait to go back.

This was a memorable experience! The hotel’s amenities are great for the price. The staff was accommodating and professional. I again, enjoyed the costume gallery featuring the biographies of the celebrities that wore them and who frequent this hotel and casino. The wealth of information entailing each guitar’s history on display was an added bonus. My absolute favorite time spent was at the spaaaaaaa! You have to spend a day there. The personalized service you receive is more than worth the expense!

I absolutely LOVE my visits to this casino and hotel!! This is an overall review as I have been here several times over the years and stayed in various rooms in all towers. OVERALL: This casino is designed beautifully - very modern with plenty of gambling available from slots to tables, lots of dining choices, and shopping. The casino floor is huge and there is also a smoke-free gambling area upstairs. Plenty of parking garages available as well as valet and over-size parking for big rigs or jacked up trucks/jeeps that can't make the clearance into the parking garage! This casino is equipped with three swimming pools (no jacuzzi), an outdoor bar & grill, and a gym. HOTEL: I would have to say that I prefer the East over the West tower. The rooms nicely furnished, well equipped with amenities, a comfy bed and quality towels! The restroom is spacious with his and her sinks and a gorgeous walk-in shower. Our views are always amazing as well. CASINO: I can't believe how huge the casino floor actually is! There are so many slot machines available and sometimes I prefer to go upstairs where there is no smoking allowed because it's less crowded. Also, if you're gambling in the high rollers area you are able to get free cocktails from the waitresses walking around. DINING: I have tried every restaurant at this casino and I have to say that Jubao is my absolute go-to!! They are open super late, and the line is long, but so worth it! If you are looking for much finer dining there are plenty of great options but make sure to make a dinner reservation.

I came to Hard Rock via a bus day trip from my community. I haven't been to a casino in 5 years. This experience was very different from my last trip. The casino was clean and flashy. Sounds, lighting, and large screens on "slot" machines make it all seem exciting, and it draws you in. You put cash bills in the machine. If you don't have cash, you can use an ATM or credit card. It's too easy to overspend if you don't have control. The machine conveniently keeps track of your wins and losses. If you're lucky enough to win any money, you cash out, and the machine spits out a slip to take to a cashier. Thankfully, there are lots of 1c machines. Be aware that the minimum bet ranges from 30c to a couple of dollars. Similar rules for 2c, 25c, and higher machines. Overall, we had a good time. Sadly, we didn't win, but we also didn't spend more than the maximum amount I planned. Which wasn't much. We walked around, ate, and looked in stores to pass some time. My only complaint was that people were smoking all around us. It was awful. I had no idea there was another side that was non-smoking. Signs would have been nice.

We stayed at the west wing of the hotel. For our anniversary, of course! I tell you these rooms were exceptionally well put together. The bathroom was a sight to believe. Experiencing this stay with my wife was unforgettable. Hopefully we can get to visit once again next year! Fingers 🤞

This is a well oiled machine. From the moment we arrived we enjoyed the professional staff who genuinely seemed to enjoy working there. The restaurant is beautiful and every presentation shows attention to detail. We had a private room for 15 guests that was lovely. Slight smell of mold, but that’s the smell of old Florida. Our Cuban guests enjoyed the food as much as we did. We had every appetizer…the garlic shrimp was my favorite. The 1905 salad is a must, the paella is perfect and every dessert was delicious! We had both pitchers of the white and red sangria and there is a nice gift shop next door where you can buy the pitchers, coffee, and painted stoneware.

Amazing food, great atmosphere, fun experience, and this is our second time here, so we had to try different entrées, which were also excellent. We brought family with us this time too. We walked around to see some of the dining rooms after finishing our meal and the restaurant decor is so interesting. Every room is completely different!

My group had an amazing experience at The Columbia last night. Our waitress, Courtney, was fantastic and took great care of us. I gave her 3 menu options and let her pick my meal and she absolutely nailed it. The stuffed grouper was phenomenal. One of the best dishes I’ve had in years. The devil crab croquettes were to die for. The salad … I don’t know if i just wasn’t expecting much or if an angel made it, but the 905 is extraordinary. I will no doubt be back!!!

I did not realize this was the oldest restaurant in all of Florida until after we left out. The atmosphere was amazing! It felt like you were in the old country! The beautiful design and architecture really stood out. This place had such character and you could just see the history and all the hard work that went into it over the years. The story itself of how it came about is remarkable. The list of people who used to come in and the current ones are mind blowing. The service was excellent and the portions were big and the price was very fair. The food was amazing and you could just taste the authenticity. I wanted to get desert, but after the bread and the calamari and the Sangria, I couldn’t eat another thing. I can not wait until the next time I am back in Tampa, I will certainly be back! A heads up, this place gets busy so I suggest making your reservations well in advance. The parking is not the easiest to find once it gets busy, the lot fills up.

Really neat place filled with history. The architecture of the building was stunning, and it was so nice to see the waiters dressed up. It felt as though I was stepping back in time. The waiter, John, was very knowledgeable about the place, menu options, and just an all-around nice guy. The food was very good though a little too much sauce for me. I would highly recommend this place for an occasional visit as the prices are pretty high, but understandably so.

Excellent dinner dining experience with my family! The restaurant is a magnificent piece of old Latin art, with multiple dining area…each with its own unique ambience. Our waiter (Jim) was extremely knowledgeable about many aspects of the restaurant, from its long history to the food. The menu was creative, but not overwhelming. The food was very well seasoned and served in a very reasonable amount of time. I would definitely recommend trying this spot!

Beautiful restaurant, great menu, very good service and excellent food.. I couldn't decide what to order. We started with red Sangria and a Mango cocktail. We had gazpacho and stuffed mushrooms as appetizers. Cuban sandwich and lobster canellonies. Everything was excellent

Absolutely delicious food all around. The scallop tapas was so good I almost cried at the table. Our waiter was fabulous and did not lead us astray once with their recommendations. The paella was perfect and I've never been so sad that I needed a to-go box, I wish I had room to eat it all when it was hot and fresh. Definitely come hungry as every bite is worth it. Us and everyone in line around us had made a reservation, so I would suggest - for dinner especially - you do the same.

Columbia is a Tampa institution, and rightfully so. They’re the oldest restaurant in the state and a lot of their menu staples seem unchanged by food trends in the best way. Their menu includes timeless classics prepared with long-standing techniques and great ingredients. Their 1905 salad is the perfect balance of crisp, tangy, and salty. The crab croquettes are spicy, slightly crunchy on the outside, and a soft seafood flavor throughout. You can’t beat their main courses either! Save room for dessert, especially their white chocolate bread pudding which offers a crispy exterior and soft bread inside. I’m not big on white chocolate, but this is perfect because it’s not cloyingly sweet at all. There’s plenty of free parking across the street. There’s also a gift shop where you can grab some of their signature dishes, pitchers, seasonings, and sangria mix. Highly recommend getting a reservation if you’re visiting anytime during the weekends.

I mean, y’all 😍 EVERYTHING here was amazing. The food, service, reasonable prices, atmosphere, architecture, dining rooms, everything! Our whole experience was phenomenal. Loved reading the history of Columbia House on their website while in the restaurant, such a nice touch! Photos below are of the building and what I ordered (Chicken Salteado 😋). Our whole group loved this restaurant and their meals! Can’t wait to return.

Gorgeous old building with so much history and character. But this is a 5 star review because of the food and the outstanding service. We didn’t have to ask for a thing. Our server was attentive, on top of things and entertaining and knowledgeable about the restaurant and it’s history. This place is a must visit in Tampa!

This review is for the desert room since we were not able to get a reservation for the regular restaurant on a weekday night no matter how frequently we called. Bern’s is one of those places that had a TON of hype throughout central Florida. It’s old-fashioned in the best way possible with classic food, service and charm. The desert room is located on the second floor in the back of the restaurant and you used to go there after dinner. Luckily you can do desert separately if you are willing to go right as they open. The little booths you sit in are insanely cool and be prepared to have a very difficult time choosing what sweet treat you want to eat. Service was amazing and prices are high enough to blow your socks off. Unfortunately the desert was just OK? We sampled 3 different things and the cheese plate and while all of them were good, none were particularly memorable. Overall the experience was worth it - hopefully we can try the full restaurant experience some day.

Best value steakhouse in Tampa. The service is always top notch. The atmosphere is great. There is a reason Berns has been a Tampa institution for so long. The kitchen and wine tours are back after a recent renovation. The dessert room is also amazing.

It took my husband years to convince me to make a reservation. I am thankful I finally conceded. The experience at Berns was incredible! The staff truly takes their level of service and knowledge of their products to another level! The food is beyond! The attention to detail and freshness is apparent. Highly recommend dinner, drinks, the tour and the dessert room experience!

Very high end steakhouse with the great vibe and really nice atmosphere! The food was awesome! Got the porterhouse steak which was cooked perfectly. It comes with the french onion soup (10 out of 10) and the house salad. Macadamia Nut Sundae is definitely worth a try! Also our waiter Davor was the best, very cool and funny 😁 Nothing but good emotions, absolutely recommend this place!

100% completely amazed by this dining experience!! For starters it felt like stepping back in time with the decor which for me made this an even more of an unforgettable experience. Our waiter Tyler was super fabulous, and that French Dressing Holy heart eyes it touches the soul. The wine list is something out of a fairytale! For dinner I indulge in the Wagyu and my lord I can't even begin to express the joy of my taste buds!!! There was nothing about this dining experience to complain about! Lastly our visit to the desert room was undoubtedly the best experience I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. Definitely try the flour less chocolate..... to die for!!

Very happy I went. Been trying for a long time to get there. It’s worth going for the experience. Very neat and great service. The food is good not great. I have been to better steakhouses but this history and character makes this worth going. The Somm was amazing. Helped and picked out a real winner. Steaks were cooked to perfect temperature. Onion strings were not fresh and were cold. Creamed spinach was delicious. Dessert room was another cool feature. Dessert was average. Great presentation though. Pro tip: if you can not get a reservation go to the bar ask to be added to the walk up list. The earlier you are there the higher the probability you get seated.

Such a unique dining experience! You are first welcomed with a drink while you wait to be seated. Appetizers come first followed by the entrees. Each steak comes with a soup, salad, onion rings, vegetable of the day, and a baked potato. The meal is spaced out well so you don’t feel too full throughout the courses. The food was delicious!! After dinner you are given a tour of the kitchen and the wine cellar. Very special experience. Finally for dessert, you are taken to a dessert room and sit in a private table. The dessert options are seemingly endless. I loved the dining experience and the food was fantastic !!

Wow. Excellent Steakhouse - definitely one of the better restaurants in Florida. In my opinion, it's the transparency of the operation that impressed me the most, from the details provided on the front of the menu to the tour of the kitchen to see how the food was prepared along with information about the operation, and then the tour of what has to be easily the largest wine celler in all of Florida - I believe they said they have over 100,000+ bottles of wine on the premises with another 700,000+ in their warehouse! The place is amazing. We had a fantastic meal, an interesting tour of the place, and then dessert in their dessert room with live piano music and in-house made desserts! In fact, everything we had was made there, the breads, the sauces, the dressings, the soup, etc. And all of it was excellent. Definitely have to try the Macadamia Vanilla Bean Vinaigrette on your salad! And we tried the Gorgonzola Fondue as our steak sauce, it was really good! This is a must try if you like steakhouses - this is definitely one of the best in Florida. Before visiting, be sure to read about their dress code on their website, it is very important. And book way in advance (60 days is the max they book in advance) - it's not easy getting a reservation at this place, we know because it took about 6 attempts before we finally managed to get one!

A stalwart in Tampa! It has a lot of history and tradition going for it. Took 3 months to get a reservation. I get it that but as a first timer it’s very expensive for what you get. I liked their stories incorporated in their menu but I gotta say it seemed better in print than the real experience. Our server Lisa was polite. A Bern’s veteran with 28 years under her belt! She however missed the important nuances of traditional service like pouring out wine as needed. I picked up the slack. Decanting the wine with the candle was a nice old time touch. They have an amazing/renown wine wine/beverage selection probably unequalled in Tampa. My steak was good but not great. The dessert room upstairs is a unique twist and we had a cozy room for two. Even though we had a few minute wait we we arrived upstairs for me it was the highlight of the evening. Not a must try experience but if you want something different then give it a whirl.

This was our first experience at Bern's to celebrate our 9 year anniversary. We loved the dark, moody entrance and themed rooms. Above all, we very much appreciated our server who was so kind, attentive and patient as it took us probably a good 30 minutes (maybe longer?) just to decide on a bottle of wine. (I'm sure they expect this as the owner of one of the largest wine collections in world.) We intentionally over-ordered and unfortunately could not stomach the thought of desserts in the upstairs parlor. While the experience was unique, the food, in my humble opinion, was above average. I'd have preferred the steak seasoned a little more; the mushroom risotto was ultra salty; and the lobster bisque lacked depth, being overpowered by browned butter. But. It would not deter me from dining again. We plan to return with our son to enjoy a belated anniversary dessert. I am really happy that the menu prices are very accessible for such a renown establishment. Minus drinks, a person could dine here at an affordable price. Go for the experience! You won't regret it. 🥂

Came here to celebrate an anniversary. It’s a one of a kind unique experience, like dinning at a museum. The valet staff, hostess, and our server was friendly and attentive. If you go, you need to experience the dessert room, too. Its definitely a highlight. I loved the macadamia salad dressing. I have never tasted a dressing like it. The steak was prepared perfectly, and the sides were seasoned and cooked well. It’s a lot of food, but we did not want to skip the dessert room. The piano room upstairs was nice! The macadamia ice cream tasted great. I only wish the ice cream came in smaller portion choices.

You can't find a better place to eat on your birthday! The service is stellar, and the food and wine are wonderful. Definitely plan to stay for a kitchen and wine cellar tour between dinner and dessert. Dessert was an experience in itself...very memorable! I love the history of the place as well.

My favorite boss took me here because I'm leaving. Beautiful view and our server Yvette was friendly and attentive. The coconut shrimp was really tasty but, didn't care for the conch fritters. The chicken was full of flavor and the fish tacos was just ok. I really enjoyed my pomegranate margarita. Very tasty.

Visited for a late dinner with friends and family. Sunday night and they were packed. Service was relatively good and food tasted overall OK. My only gripe was that my burger was way overcooked. Sorry, I do not do well with overcooked beef anything. The food runner immediately saw that upon placing on the table, and like a pro, said will take care of it and took the dish away. I thought they would rush my replacement. Sadly, think they forgot about it. Didn't get to eat it until most everyone were finished. I had to share my wife's dish. I was starving. When the replacement burger was delivered, that too was overcooked but I ate it. I was starving and I did not have the energy to send it back or wait any longer. Been here before where I had a better time. That grill must have been hotter than it should or the cook just overcooks things. Was disappointed. Rest of the party were fine, so they said.

Bahama Breeze has a spacious and comfortable environment. We had lunch indoors because it was a tad chilly today (65°) and sat at a window seat along the water. My wife had the grilled chicken salad with Ranch and it was delicious, more than enough to satisfy the midday stomach growl. I had the Cuban, one of my favorite sandwiches when traveling, and it was as good as any I've had. Wonderful atmosphere, good food and good service (Thank you, Yvette!) made for a perfect lunch.

There were interesting dishes to choose from. The food was good and not overpriced. The dessert was delicious! The server was good and friendly. I would definitely go back

The atmosphere is fun and feel like a vacation day. The place is clean and welcoming. Our server was fast and attentive. The food was perfect as in exactly what we ordered and we loved it. We decided to try their non-alcoholic drinks this time, we both loved them and they exceeded our expectations. They were beautiful and colorful and tasted amazing. We didn't miss the alcohol at all, as they ended up feeling like a special treat! I will definitely go back and recommend others as well.

Thanks to Eric, Gregg, and Sierra, I was able to host a wonderful happy hour for our company’s clients on September 26th. I enjoyed it just as much as they did, and Eric was helping me draft it together from the start. Gregg handled our rowdy open bar, and delivered every drink perfectly, and Sierra was amazing with the set-up and passing out desserts. Thoroughly appreciate all three for setting up a great private room with a view of the bay, and for organizing it so quickly. Highly recommend this Bahama Breeze. Many Thanks, Keana Rivera

Service was excellent but a little bit slower than usual due to the high amount of people on a tuesday night. The location is definitely gorgeous inside and the views outside are amazing. Their draft beer is delicious and the bartender recommendations were spot on. I had the avocado stack for appetizer and it was full of shrimp and crab. Real stuff not the imitation. I wish it had more juicy sauce on the bottom but i could have asked for more. The paella is full of seafood and a really big portion as well but in my opinion lacked some flavor. Let me say it was very good but i have tasted excellent. All in all the experience was very good and i would highly recommend this place anytime. I want to visit during day time to see the water views better. This place is huge.

Are we just Callie was amazing! She was super friendly and told us about the best local places since we're on vacation. The food was amazing! We set out in the patio and there was a beautiful breeze and they had fans so it was not too hot. And they even gave us a beautiful orchid in our drink!

Great restaurant, we had a reservation and they seated us right away when we arrived. The food tasted delicious and the whole restaurant was very clean. This place is reasonably priced for the quality and amount of food provided. The atmosphere is always beautiful. Our hostess was very kind. The drinks were on point! I went on a Friday and after 9 pm they have a live band. Live music playing is always a plus. The view from the outside seats is beautiful This place has an Amazing Caribbean Vibe!

Absolutely what you expect when you look for GREAT service. I’m really amazed at how well I was treated. I started off with ordering through the phone to go and I met Ashley G who answered all my questions about the menu and the ingredients with no problem courtesy of her mother who serves, then decided to eat at a table rather than taking our food to go and the hostess Caroline gladly found a table and spot for us the life music was beautiful and the atmosphere couldn’t be any better thank you bahama breeze team for a good night.

I am biased cause my food was delicious. The seafood pasta was soo good and they were not stingy with the shrimp. However their drinks are super super sweet like inedible sweet. Their chicken has a weird texture. Service was fantastic Jessie was amazing but the drinks needs to balanced cause I felt like I was about to become diabetic after drinking the dragon fruit Margarita

1st time here as we celebrated Valentine’s Day! Our server Morgan was excellent, very informative with a great personality. We started with a California roll which was really good. We over ordered but we’ve never been so we wanted to try a little of everything! I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich. It was not spicy at all, very tasty and loved the flavors of the fish! I got the side salad with balsamic and I loved the goat cheese! My husband ordered the roasted chicken, it was cooked perfectly. He also wanted to try the lobster roll so we ordered that also 🤦🏻‍♀️ I was beyond full but he said we needed cake for dessert because it was Valentine’s Day so we ordered the chocolate cake with the homemade whipped cream. Upon receiving the bill, we both agreed it was reasonably priced and thought it would have been so much more than it was. The view was beautiful; all the lights overlooking the water, the nice boats and people walking around. Definitely a must see during the day.

Went here on a trip. They had no customers inside, and no one came to greet us. The workers ignored us, and we left after 15 minutes. We ended up trying a different day, and the energy was much better. We had Dawn, and she is so sweet. The food was lovely too. The truffle fries are definitely some of the best I've had. Great experience the second time around, but I can't say with certainty that they have consistent good service here.

Birthday dinner for my daughter who attend s USF. We chose Jackson's because we wanted to sit outside by the water. It's a gorgeous location especially as the sun is going down. My daughter chose a couple of sushi rolls & I went with the grouper with roasted carrots and lump crab meat. We also split a side of huge asparagus. Everything was delicious & I have leftovers for tomorrow. My daughter also got a slice of carrot cake, also delicious. Our waitress Jacquelyn was amazing. Very attentive and nice. She also brought my daughter a small birthday cupcake ( great chocolate on top with a huge blackberry and chocolate spelling out Happy Birthday on the plate) lit the candle & sang Happy Birthday. It was a great evening and we plan to go back again.

My wife and I ate dinner here for our anniversary tonight. Let me begin by saying that the biggest pros and best part of our experience were the views of downtown when sitting outside and the exceptional service of our host Kathleen. She could not have been more on top of things and gets an easy 10/10. I would also like to thank the staff for adjusting our reservation when we were running late. Other pros: - The broccoli portion was far better than I expected - The volcano rolls my wife ordered exceeded her expectations - Plenty of parking, reasonably priced and easy to access. The only negatives from the experience were not knowing or being told that parking could be validated to receive a $10 discount. Parking on site is $5/hour which isn't bad at all but it would have been nice to save the $10. Also, it looks like we were charged for what I thought was our complimentary anniversary slice of cake. All in all, a nice experience and we will likely return.

Visited for the first time today for their Sunday Brunch. The restaurant is lovely and you have a view of the waterfront from nearly every table. The waitstaff was exceptional and cordial. Drinks were brought expediently, water filled before glasses became empty, plates cleared quickly, and checked often to see if we needed anything. The food was very good as well. You had your standard breakfast offerings plus a custom omelet station. The bacon was well prepared and the grits were good. Those are two difficult things for a lot of restaurants to get right, but Jackson's pulled it off. The grits had a few lumps by the time I got around to them but they still had great flavor and were overall creamy. I liked that the eggs were soft as well, overcooked scrambled eggs are just not appetizing. There was an assortment of seafood dishes that I did not partake in, but my friends enjoyed them. I enjoyed my lunch selections even more than breakfast. I sampled the brisket, which was so flavorful and completely tender, chicken that was in an olive sauce, olive & feta salad, and probably my favorite of the regular food items was the flank steak with yucca, amazing! I would suggest adding a couple more side dish items, there were some baby potatoes, but mashed potatoes, a rice dish, or mixed veggies would have been nice as well. (And I'll be honest, there might have been some more options that I missed) I wasn't very tempted by the dessert options. The mint chocolate macaron, and the bread pudding were the stand outs here. I wish I had saved room for more of the bread pudding! People will balk at the $40 price for this meal, but honestly it's not that bad. It's a nice restaurant with a great view, attentive staff, and for the most part really good food that you can enjoy as much of as you like. Something else I appreciated was that their chairs are comfortable and very lightweight. Very easy to pull out and sit close to the table. I wish more restaurants would follow suit. I generally prefer booths but here I'm definitely okay with a table.

My first visit to Jackson's was a great one. The atmosphere was very nice. The food was delicious as well. My server's name I cannot remember but I feel really bad about it because he was very sweet to us. He did a wonderful job. The view was very nice as well. It's a great spot for a girl's night, a guy gathering or a date night. A little pricy but worth it. I will definitely be back. My friend and I both had the blackened fish with lump crab and tri colored carrots. The sauce was sooooo good, they just need to add a little more lol I also didn't know that they validated for parking so i ended up having to pay $15. I know next time. Thank you Jackson's for a great first visit!!

The view is wonderful and the staff is great. Some of food is delicious, like the Caesar salad, the mashed potatoes and the spinach. Other is mediocre like the crab cake that has corn as a filler. And the sushi rice is cold. The sushi fish was was fresh but there’s so much sauce you can’t taste it. All that said I went twice for the nice tables and views.

Excellent atmosphere and view. We had a beautiful evening to eat out on their outside patio and watch the action. Food was delicious, I ordered the steak sandwich and it was on the softest bread and steak melted in mouth, all food we ordered was so good. Our server very attentive and very clean bathrooms. Parking in underground garage which the restaurant validates so it's free.

Lobster roll was chopped up lobster. Not expecting it to be chopped into little pieces. There was lettuce underneath the lobster. When i opened the sandwich to add the mayo some of the lettuce was brown and starting to rot. Needless to say I should have ordered something else. It was also very dry. I needed to ask for some kind of sauce to make it more palatable. The waiter gave me a spicy mayo which helped a bit. Shrimp and grits was delish. Lobster Mac and cheese was also delicious.

This was my first time dining here. It has a nice atmosphere. My friend picked this place for her birthday dinner as she previously had a wonderful experience. Unfortunately, she left her dinner disappointed. We were a party of 8 with a 7:30 reservation. Our server was extremely slow. Other parties of the same size or larger came in after us and left before us. I am not sure why he was so slow, but it dragged out the dinner when it shouldn't have. As for the food, I ordered chicken ceasar salad and coconut shrimp. I had to send the salad back because the chicken was mushy. The coconut shrimp was the best I ever had. They were crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I can't say I wouldn't recommend it because others in the party stated our experience was not normal. So if I'm ever back in the area, I may give them another try...BUT...wasn't impressed.

Took my husband out for his birthday, 1st time here. The service was amazing. The server suggested a martini for my husband. He liked it but he’s not really a drinker so it got warm before he drank it but he didn’t mind. My margarita was really good. My steak was perfect at M.R. My husband ordered his M.W. And it came out Rare. It was replaced instantly and taken off the bill which was not needed. Apparently, this place wants to ensure “customer satisfaction”. The sides were definitely shareable. I made sure to tip half the bill since the one steak was taken off as well as the server was very attentive.

Just came here for the first time and was blown away by the experience. Our server was absolutely fantastic. Very knowledgeable and very attentive. The table side steak presentation was really helpful in deciding what to get. I had the bison steak for something different, and it was very flavorful. We had the escargot for an appetizer, and it was excellent. It was better than I’ve had at some French restaurants. The butter cake for dessert was another stand out.

What an amazing dinner! Our server was awesome and took great care of us. It was my first visit and she gave us the grand tour, brought out the meat platters, and gave us great suggestions. The food was spectacular. We got the 50 oz porterhouse and they cut it at the table, cooked perfectly with truffle butter. We had a 24oz lobster tail, unfortunately was over cooked but they took care of it. Great quality steaks and will make me come back just for that! For dessert we got the sweet butter cake and OMG it was amazing. A MUST VISIT!

This is the steakhouse where you wine & dine on a date night, celebrate that special occasion or just go out for one of the best wood fire steaks you have ever had. There is an art in perfecting the cut of meat to just melt in your mouth with flavor, and these chefs know what they are doing. The service is top notch, and even the house salad that comes with your steak is delicious. You will not leave this place hungry at all. The well crafted cocktails are so good as well as the bourbon list. The smoked old fashioned is a must try!

My Guus took me to Charley's steak house for my birthday celebration. We were greeted with a card on the table and both Matt & Vinny were awesome in their wishes We started with a blackberry lemonade which was amazing, as were the appetizers of bacon wrapped scallops and the calamari. They do calamari right. Crisp and tender and the marinara is to die for. I should have stopped here, because since it was my birthday they brought us out 3 amazing meat balls that you only get when celebrating. So good. We over ordered for 3 people. We got a small 8oz fillet and a 50 oz porterhouse and 3 shareable sides: bacon cheddar mash, the head of cauliflower and the broccoli and garlic. Everything was tasty, but the cauliflower is our hands down favorite. We left with a lot of left overs and that's fine, we have good food for tomorrow

My date night was everything I wanted. The place have all the Vibes of a romantic restaurant. Our waiter, Adonis, was so attentive, sweet and knowledgeable. He recommended several dishes and show his excitement for each one of the ones we picked. Their meat was as delicious as it could possibly be. Never thought I would like 21 days old meat until I tried it.

My husband and I came to Charley's tonight for our 1 year wedding anniversary. There are no words to describe how good the food was. Thanks to Delila our server for the night. She was absolutely amazing and very informative. Everything Delila recommended we ordered!! From appetizers all the way to dessert... That BUTTER CAKE!! Jesus take the wheel!! You won't be disappointed!

Thank you Charley's for the most memorable evening. From the valet to the water service, everything exceed expectations. Shout out to Daryl who was one one the best in hospitality we have ever had (and that is coming from two people in the industry). From fork to spoon this was a night to remember. You have life long patrons now. Hands down the best meal we have had in 2023. Wagyu tomahawk and the Caribbean lobster tail was beyond words. 🔥 And let's talk about that cedar plank cauliflower .... trust me. Get it.

This was our first time here. Went for our anniversary, and they made it such a special experience. Our server, Stephanie, was seriously amazing! Her energy, knowledge, and passion were everything! She made the experience THAT much better. We visited for the Bison steak as no one else around has it to offer. Also got the Wagyu filet, which was recommended, and we were so glad we listened. Both were cooked perfectly to our preference. The drinks were fruit infused and were perfectly sweet and strong. The salad, cheese bread, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn were flavorful and good portions. Everything was delightful. They even provided us with complimentary meatballs and ice cream for our anniversary. We will most definitely be back! They made a great impression for our first visit.
