Absolutely incredible experience at Istanbul Mediterranean Grill & Market! From the moment we…read morewalked in, we were treated like family. The customer service was genuinely some of the best we've ever experienced it was warm, welcoming, and so hospitable. The bread was phenomenal and worth the visit all on its own! We ordered two İnegöl Köfte plates to split between two adults and one child, and honestly, one plate would have been plenty because the portions are so generous. The köfte was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was absolutely delicious, and the fresh salad was the perfect complement. I also ordered a side of chicken just to try it, and it was equally flavorful, tender, and cooked to perfection. For drinks, we tried the Turkish pear soda and the orange soda. Both were delicious, but the pear was my favorite and is a must-try! If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Turkish food with generous portions and outstanding hospitality, this is the place. We will definitely be back!

During a trip to Tampa I had a craving for Middle Eastern food, so I asked my uber driver if he had…read moreany recommendations as he was Palestinian... He recommended Olive Tree. Located outside of downtown, we walked in and got seated right away by the lovely staff. Surrounded by Arab-American families, I knew this was the right spot! We were given some pita bread with a house dip (which I only got a pic of after digging in). We ordered the Olive Tree Sampler, Fatoush, and the Mansaf (as this is what I had a craving for). The sampler platter was very good, offering a wide variety of options and flavors. The Fatoush was good, but not the best I've had; I was a little disappointed by it. But the headliner, the Mansaf, was probably one of the better ones I've ever had! The lamb was cooked to perfection and the rice was delicious. The portion was good enough to feed 4-5 people, so for the two of us it was a struggle, but we gorged ourselves on the dish. The flavors made it too difficult to stop eating... If you have a craving for Middle Eastern food, or even curiosity about trying it for the first time, I would highly recommend going to the Olive Tree!

Maybe it was the brand of Cognac they used for my drink, but it did not taste good at all. My friend said her Moscow Mule had barely any vodka and so much ginger beer in it that the flavor of ginger was overwhelming and making her nauseous. Neither of us finished our drinks and left and went to another bar. Maybe their wine and charcuterie plates are better?

We like proper food. Bar Ten and Cheese Please DELIVERED. The service was exceptional and I truly don't know why we didn't have to wait in line to get a table. They are in a pretty inauspicious location, in a small strip of businesses on MacDill, but there should be a path of folks beating a path to the door. We ordered an aggressive amount of food for two people. We asked and received for the bartender's choice on a charcuterie board. She nailed it. We were two bites in and planning our next visit. I want to eat every pairing they suggest. My husband cannot get over the Merlot cheddar and chocolate jam. I was partial to the potato cheddar and sweet onion jam. The Fattoush dressing is the type that has olive oil instead of pomegranate molasses (or at least includes it) and you can legitimately taste the quality of the olive oil. Literally everything we had was fantastic.

Everyone was super nice and it just felt like such a lively spot. Our table got a bunch of apps to share along with a couple entrees and all of the food was fantastic. The sangria was also incredible and definitely a standout. The only downside was that the service felt a little slow, so in between ordering drinks it felt like a long time. I did not mind too much though because the overall experience was still really fun. Definitely a place I would go back to!

Although this restaurant has been open for 7+ years and I'm a regular in downtown Tampa, tonight…read morewas my first visit. I debated between 3 and 4 stars, but I'm going with 3. We had a 6:30 PM reservation and the restaurant was fairly empty (about 4-5 tables occupied), yet we were seated at a very small two-top directly next to another couple where we could clearly hear each other's conversations. Several larger tables nearby remained empty the entire evening. When I asked about moving, we were told the tables were reserved and we'd need to leave by 8:30 PM ~ yet we stayed until 9:40 PM and those tables were never used... Service started off slow. No one greeted us for about 20 minutes until we waved someone over. When our server, Briana, arrived, she asked if we had been helped, which made it seem like there was a lack of communication between the host staff and servers. Food was okay: the branzino with grilled vegetables was very good, but the octopus was extremely tough and chewy. My plate was also chipped on both the left and right sides, which was surprising considering how expensive the dinner was. Drinks were fine, just a bit too sweet. What really caught me off guard was the automatic 20% gratuity added to a two-top. The most expensive restaurants in Tampa don't even do it and this is not Miami. Overall, not a terrible experience ~ but not one that makes me eager to return.
