Passing through Tampa during my international travels; I dined out at Bahama Breeze. I ordered the…read morespeciality drink RITA Flight which consists of three miniature Margaritas (Classic, Dragon Fruit and Cocorita). They all looked different but tasted the same (Nasty). I asked the waiter for a Heineken (can't go wrong with that I thought). The waiter advised that there were no more. Okay , well let me have a classic margarita. The color of it was a ghost white and a couple of sips made me so sick it ruined my entire trip. The Server had a poor attitude, the drinks were terrible, and there is not one thing Bahamas about the place. In closing, I feel that if a person is not willing to serve people from all walks of life (race, color, creed, etc.) should go into a profession where he doesn't have to deal with people period!!! We took our leftovers with us to discard because I felt they probably would have reused for the next customer who was not of their likings. WORSE DINING EXPERIENCE IN THIS CENTURY!!!

The Doubletree Bluefin restaurant offers quite an array for dining. The dinner options seem minimal…read morebut each selection is power-packed with flavor for the eyes and palate. Breakfast was elevated. The buffet option had the usual oatmeal, breads, and fruit. There was also the waffle station and I'm always afraid to make my waffle on these waffle makers. But it was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside. The oatmeal-yum. Not grainy. It was creamy-no milk needed. There was brown sugar, walnuts and golden raisins. I added the fresh blueberries and oats from the yogurt section. That took it to the level I wanted. The entire team was attentive making the service level one to return for. From the front desk check-in to the room service was amazing. Friendly, polite, professional are the words I have for my experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant is quiet, aesthetically pleasing, and there is no bad seat in the house. The lagoon view adds to the ambience. It it were not so hot, I would have enjoyed my breakfast outside. But I enjoyed peeking outside through the glass doors and windows. Come to stay. Stay to enjoy. Enjoy your stay!

Great restaurant if you are staying in the hotel. You wouldn't go out of your way to go here but…read morethe food and service are great. I had the shrimp and crab flatbread and it was delicious. The mocktails and cocktails are great. My friend's steak was good but it's more of a place that a family on vacation or traveler would frequent if they were staying in the hotel and didn't feel like going out. Our server was great!

We celebrated Father's Day at Rusty Pelican with my husband, our toddler, and our baby, and it was…read moresuch a wonderful experience. The food portions were amazing, and the appetizers were plentiful and absolutely phenomenal. My husband ordered the grilled lobster, and I had the Ribeye Benedict--everything was perfectly cooked and beautifully presented. The dessert was truly out of this world. Honestly, it was probably one of the best desserts I've ever had. If Rusty Pelican ever wanted to do a dedicated dessert room like Bern's, I think it would be a huge success because their pastry team is that good. The only thing that felt a little strange was the parking situation. It seemed like the valet attendants had closed off a section of parking even though it wasn't designated as valet parking. Aside from that minor issue, everything else was incredible. Great food, beautiful atmosphere, and a memorable Father's Day with our family. We'll definitely be back!

District South has been on my list of places for brunch and I'm so glad I finally had the chance to…read morecheck it out! I recently went for brunch to celebrate a friend's birthday. We were a group of 10 and our server was excellent! The whole staff really! We sat outside and enjoyed our food+ mimosas. There was a tv out there so i know if i ever go with my husband he can watch his games (gooooo sports) while i indulge in my mimosas. I'd been studying the menu ever since my friend told me we were going. I ended up going with the avocado tartine and added smoked salmon. It was delicious and went well with a day of heavy drinking!! We also ordered the grazing board for the table which was amazing. I loved the assortment of cheeses and snacks. The butter on the board was bussinnnnn! I was in heaven!! I should mention the bottomless mimosas were $25 and the bottles literally just keep coming! Safe to say we were all feeling nice and toasty by the time we left. We hung out for a while without even getting kicked out I'd love to visit again and try more menu items. The server mentioned the cubano is the best Cuban you'll have. Now I'm always a bit skeptical bc everyone says that lol but the cubano came out looking gooooodT! I didn't try it but my friend who ordered it loved it! Parking was easy and right outside. We parked and checked in pretty quickly with ease. Thanks for the awesome service and experience! I definitely recommend adding district south kitchen & craft to your list of boozy brunch spots!

Hmmmm Peaks and…read morevalleys. Thats the best way I can describe how this meal felt. Appetizers were strong. Focaccia bread with some sorta meat baked on top and grouper breaded in coconut, heck yeahhhh. Both great, fun choices that were great. Down to the meal itself. I had prime rib sammich and then my friend got the grits with braised pork. Super excited for it and it was good. But I wouldn't go past good? I'm not sure. It was one of those ones where I for sure ate it all, I did like it but I was not wow'd. With the apps, they were outfitted with great sauce choices. Look at those plates. Two different sauces per plate. So in my mind, that means they most likely make their own ranch, honey mustard, etc. how exciting?! I ordered a ranch for my friend and I, hoping that it would be homemade and blow my doors off. Ranch came, paired great with the fires but then they charged me $2.75?! Yooo, did me dirty, I can't lie. All in all, I liked it here. I just don't know if I'll hurry back. Also, for two apps, 3 entries, was kinda expansive. Idk maybe I'm just complaining. We are in Tampa, I just didn't feel great looking at the bill.

We really wanted to love this spot because the atmosphere and the gorgeous views of the bay are…read moreabsolutely incredible. Sitting right on the water is a huge plus, and it definitely has that classic, lively Florida vibe going for it. Unfortunately, the rest of the experience just didn't live up to the scenery. The food was pretty disappointing--it just wasn't great and lacked the freshness you'd expect. The drinks were another letdown; they really lacked flavor and creativity, tasting more like sugary mixers than quality cocktails. On top of that, everything was very expensive for the quality you're getting. We also noticed a pretty strong, unpleasant odor coming off the bay while sitting on the outside deck, which put a damper on the evening. As for the service, it was just okay, not terrible, but nothing special or attentive either. Go for a quick drink to catch the sunset, but maybe plan on eating somewhere else. I'd like to try different menu items next time

The food was great. Had a burger with fries. Some of the best fries I've had in a while! The…read moreatmosphere was okay. Gave it a 3 star because the view was exactly what you wanted, but be warned. If you go on a Sunday, it will be a lot. Unless you're willing to pay for valet, you'll have to park in the adjacent lot. Sundays are party days and if you don't feel like smelling some skunk, IYKYK, car fumes and the occasional tire smell from a random Challenger doing a burnout, then avoid this place. On top of every once in a while being asked to buy some sort of alcohol beverage as you walk to the restaurant. I know this isn't part of their establishment, and I hate to bring it up, but I know someone will Appreciate the heads up. Now, service. The server was in the weeds. Getting double and even triple sat at one point. She forgot to get us multiple items on multiple occasions. She did mention to come back on a week night, but I'm not sure this will be first on our "return to" list.

But once you get past that, extremely tasty.

It's kinda like a sports bar, which is the best way I can describe it but it's not overkill. They have indoor and outdoor seating and a bar inside and out. We had our pups with us and fyi they are very dog friendly. We both decided on a breakfast burger while I ordered onion strings and my wife had fries with hers. I had some delicious sweet tea and my wife had soda water with limes. The had chicken bowls for the pups that came with a lot of chicken. The service was beyond amazing, our server was always there when we needed her and she check on us a lot but not overkill. It was mid afternoon on a Saturday but although it was fairly busy it was loud. The manager came over and talked to us for a few minutes and he was very pleasant. I don't remember his name or our servers name but the entire staff seemed happy to be there. This business is near the stadium surrounded by a lot of businesses, so use your gps to locate it. I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I strongly recommend it.

For dinner, I chose the Rotisserie Farm Bird. The sauce it came on was good, but the breast was really dry. I used all the sauce on the plate for it, but I could still barely eat it. I had to ask a waitress passing by for some ranch (a trick, I learned to eat my mother-in-law's chicken). Of course the thigh and drum were better because they always are. The veggies on the plate were green beans, carrots, pearl onions, and potato. I don't know why people don't like their vegetables cooked anymore, but I don't like crunchy green beans. The carrots weren't exactly crunchy, but they weren't exactly cooked tender. They were definitely a weird texture. The (large) pearl onions were OK, but I would've preferred actual pearl onions rather than these that were kind of like the size of a shallot. The best thing on the plate was the potato and of course, not enough of it. I am diabetic so I did not try the whiskey cake. I'm sure it would have been delicious.
