I tried the mac and cheese, the ahi tuna bowl, and my favorite was the Versace hot dog (crispy bacon, truffle aioli, arugula, hot honey). Emma was my waitress and she was friendly and attentive. There's metered street parking available and a nearby parking garage.

The CAESAR - romaine, garlic croutons, parmesan, caesar dressing with bacon was outstanding. That and a beer made my day. Sure, I was hungry but in writing this I want to go back and have it again! Okay, I'm hungry now too but I really don't think that's the entire story. Bar service was amazing. I dig the Peanuts theme for the restrooms - Chucks and Chicks.

We planned a family dinner get together with my cousin and his family at Nueva Cantina. It was all…read moreof our first time dining there, and it did not disappoint. The space is large with plenty of seating, which worked out perfectly for our group since we had the kids with us. I can imagine it gets pretty busy on weekends, but we lucked out with a more relaxed atmosphere. We chose to sit outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather, which made the experience more enjoyable. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish. Our table ordered a variety of dishes... al pastor tacos, chicken tacos, a grilled chicken tostada, a chicken fajita tostada, chicken quesadillas, and birria tacos. We also shared the Nueva sampler with chips, guacamole, salsa, and queso. Everything that came out was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Honestly, not a single complaint from anyone at the table. The cocktails were just as impressive. The white pineapple mojito was standout... refreshing, perfectly balanced, and so good I finished it quicker than I usually would. The bill was very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food we enjoyed, which made the experience even more worthwhile. Between the great food, solid service, and family-friendly atmosphere, this is definitely a spot we'll be returning to. The kids loved it, we loved it - it was a great time all around!

This place was great for a light dinner before we went out for drinks! I was super excited to try…read morethe soft serve margarita and it was very yummy, tart and not overly sweet. I also really enjoyed the popsicle mango margarita but that was one was definitely more on the sweet side The flautas were super crispy but not that much meat inside and the tacos weren't bad but nothing to write home about, granted I am very spoiled with tacos back home in San Diego so given that I think these were very solid and I would have them again when in the area. We were able to catch the last few minutes of happy hour which included 2 for $7 tacos, $5 classic margaritas and $2 off apps, there was also a really good deal for 12 mixed shots for $30 which we definitely plan to try next time, we sat at the inside bar but there was plenty of seating around as well as outside which also has its own bar that they were starting to set up when we arrived. The service was quick and we felt taken care of from when we arrived, something I have noticed around all of Tampa, lots of workers and quick service which is always nice!

Not bad but not great…read more I did not find the wine by the glass selection interesting. The food was kind of tasty but lacked seasoning and the portions were small. The Scallop Crudo lacked zip. The Tenderloin Carpaccio lacked depth of flavor and no ribbons of parm. Wife had the Bucatini Carbonara. It was ok but for me lack depth of flavor. The prosciutto was there but really did not get much of an effect. Staff and service was great.

We had such a fantastic experience at Tommy's Chophouse! Everything we ordered was exceptional, but…read morethe lasagna was a real standout. It was completely unlike any lasagna I've had before, beautifully presented in an almost deconstructed, unexpected form and absolutely delicious. The strip steak and asparagus were excellent as well. And then the crème brûlée! Such a creative take on a classic, with candied nuts and fruit that made it genuinely memorable. I've been fortunate to dine at many high-end restaurants in NYC and across Europe, and it's rare that a dessert surprises me like this one did. A special shoutout to our server, Darihana, who made the whole experience even better. She was warm, attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel incredibly well taken care of throughout the evening. Wonderful food, creative presentation, and outstanding service. We will absolutely be back!

After stalking Tommy's Instagram for the past two weeks waiting for the opening day announcement,…read morewe were so excited to finally make it there on opening night. We grabbed seats at the bar, and Ryan, Guy, and Lacey took great care of us all night. Opening night is controlled chaos, but Ryan was cool as a cucumber behind the bar, effortlessly keeping everything moving while still making time to chat with guests. The service was fantastic from start to finish. We also had a great conversation with John, the sommelier. We're big Sea Smoke fans, but this was our first time seeing Botella on a wine list. It's made for easy drinking and was a great recommendation. We also enjoyed a glass of Daou Cabernet with our ribeye. For cocktails, we ordered two espresso martinis, the 7th Ave Margarita (though as a tequila connoisseur, I still think Tommy's Margarita was the obvious name ), and the Steakhouse Reserve. Every cocktail was a classic, perfectly executed. We sampled quite a bit of the menu. The deviled eggs were delicious, and the ceviche was another favorite. We ended up making friends with the people sitting on either side of us at the bar and traded bites of the crab beignets and beef carpaccio, which made for a fun experience. For our entrée, we ordered the ribeye with the Lavish Chef's Set featuring bordelaise, bone marrow, and pickled roasted mushrooms. We also shared the Robuchon mashed potatoes, which were unbelievably smooth and velvety. Even though we were completely stuffed, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. The guava crème brûlée was interesting, but the peanuts made it a little too salty for my taste, so I probably wouldn't order it again. The chocolate bread pudding, however, was outstanding. It ate like a warm, fudgy brownie. My only suggestion would be a little more ice cream. One of my favorite parts of the evening was that we never felt rushed. Everyone we met was genuinely friendly. We had the chance to meet the general manager, and the owner even gave us a tour of the vault, which was such a cool touch on opening night. We can't wait to come back! One quick tip: there's no valet. We parked in the lot directly behind the restaurant, and it was an easy walk.

The place has a modern feel with high black ceilings the place is small but inviting. Seating is mostly inside. We order s the Cuban sandwich and the shrimp.

The shrimp are nice large shrimp served on a split top roll with bib lettuce very nice. You can either eat eat it handheld or with a knife fork. The sweet potato fries are absolutely incredible. Very nice and thin and crispy. The mac & cheese is delicious. Only comment I have is possibly switched to a rotelle pasta and throw it under the broiler to give it a little bit more crisp. The service is what's really driving me as Asia has been absolutely incredible. I will be back
