    Snapper
    Patrick S.

    I'm not exactly sure what all the complaints are about... It's free food. Sure, you have to be a VIP/spender at the casino to eat here... But, it's delicious food and it's free. I had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. It had a good flavor. The vegetables were more of an artistic choice as I only got three carrots... I would've liked more. The Caesar salad was probably a letdown of the evening as it was chopped and just hard to eat. Needed more dressing too. My wife got the whole fish which was snapper. She enjoyed it. She also got the lobster bisque, which she really enjoyed. We both got a cocktail and someone else at the table ordered the shrimp appetizer. Is it the best steak/food I've ever had?... Probably not. Is it better than Outback Steakhouse?... Yes, it is. So, if you gamble enough and have a VIP card... This little restaurant is perfect for you. Service was good. Not great. I was kind of expecting a bit more for a VIP lounge. My server never refilled my Diet Coke unless I asked. But, all other pleasantries performed at a restaurant were handled well. And of course... The pricing is the best you'll find in town. FREE.

    Genuinely some of my favorite meals are here. Outstanding food with a revolving menu or fresh seafood, meats, veggies, desserts, and other decadent food. It is such a vibe in here, makes you feel like a mob boss with your own personal chef. Like you own the place, and you can sit there without a worry in the world and stuff yourself and indulge endlessly like it's your last day on earth. Amazing spot !!!!!!!!

    ALL YOU CAN EAT EVERYTHING IS MADE FRESH TO ORDER. Alright now that I have your attention this place is a gem of a dining experience in the hard rock casino and easily my favorite part about it. The ingredients are very high quality and the chefs know what they are doing. The kale salad with crunchy pecorino was very good with a slight hint of dressing but not enough to make it seem drenched. The flounder is cooked perfectly , super flaky and simple . The crab cakes are great as well , they also come with a peanut sauce that brings the flavors together well. The desserts are always great , this time I got lemon blueberry cake and the chocolate cake. Both cakes are very moist but if I had to pick I'd lean towards the lemon blueberry since the lemon and blueberries gives a tart and sweet profile that never gets old. This place is awesome if you have a friend with a black card consider yourself blessed haha

    So, you gotta be a huge fan of visiting the casino & spending (and winning? losing?) your money with your card. This is how my adorable other half earned our way into the Plum VIP Lounge. We showed up on a Sunday evening...the waitress offered about 5 different entrees (filet, red snapper, chicken diablo, etc) and told us as far as beverages are concerned, just ask! So we did. We each had an entree (filet, me- chicken, him) and although they were nothing really awesome, pretty decent considering they were feeding us for the low low price of FREE. That included 2 wines, a beer, and several swanky glass bottles of Evian. Did I mention this was for the low low price of free? The ambiance was awesome, very lounge like & the bar was cool with TV's and nice seating. Our waitress was Marlena and she was very nice and helpful. See ya soon, Plum!

    I was invited to this exclusive lounge and met Chef Michael in charge behind the delicious food offerings buffet style. We requested if we can have the anchovy appetizers that we really liked from our last dining visit and he served us with open smile and was able to chat about his Chef history in Tampa. All the restaurants at The Hardrock Seminole Casino are really good whether you want just a burger or a sumptuous steak to please your palatial cravings.

    I wanted to come here for such a long time. It's dimly lit and just a low sound of conversations. Not crowded or cuttered at all. We found a small cozy table in the back in plush chairs and candlelight. Our server came over immediately and let us know how it all works. Salads, appetizers and finger foods are buffet style and on two large areas, one right in the center and the other off to the side. There are also sweets/ desserts shared on the salad table. There is a full bar to your right as you walk in. There is a menu of entrees and crafted drinks at the table. There are all sorts of tables. Your normal sit down, dining table in all sizes from 2 to 8 people. High top tables as well as lounge seats and low tables. Probably 20 or less tables. No prices on anything. Eat or drink anything you want... it's all taken care of. We had a plate of the buffet style offerings. I enjoyed a caesar salad, assorted olives, shrimp cocktail and crab salad. My server brought over a drink made exactly as I asked. We sat and talked and took our time before deciding on an entree. We both had the Seared Grouper- Fregola, spinach, pine nuts, golden raisins, feta and lemon vinaigrette. Amazingly perfect sear on the thick piece of Grouper. Very clean. The Feta/ Lemon Vinaigrette is lightly added to the top of the fish. I really loved this entree. We shared a crabcake as well. I didn't care for the roasted red pepper coulis (I don't bell peppers) because it's sweet. I did like the basil aioli though. Plenty jumbo lump crab and very little binding ingredients. I enjoyed this very much. We sat a little longer and I picked up a few desserts to share. A lemon poppy seed macaron, vanilla mousse and a chocolate cake pop. Yummy. I really am glad we were able to dine here tonight. I was a little stressed out that day and they really did help me unwind. I look forward to going back.

    Swordfish.

    Great food and excellent service during lunch time. I had the lobster bisque soup, the swordfish, and filet mignon. The soup was VERY good in mu opinion. I also had the mojito to top off my meal.

    Was amazing!!!! Service was beyond fabulous and selections were fantastic. They did a great job to accommodate.

    Red snapper for dinner! Yum!

    Tantalizing food! Great atmosphere! Wonderful service! You have to be "invited" to this "private" lounge, but once you visit, you will want to come back! To be "invited" you have to be a "big spender" at the Hard Rock, or know someone who is. So if you are lucky enough to be invited, enjoy!

    If you ever have the privilege of access to the plum lounge it is an experience you will never forget. The food is top quality, always fresh and made to order. You can eat and drink as much as you like. This is always a major treat when staying at the Tampa hard rock.

    See all

    How can I get a invite for 2 people for food and drink?

    One has to be an X-card member of the Seminole Casinos or be invited by someone who is, as it's a private club...and BTW, it's really great!

    Came to this casino here in Tampa Florida for the first time and was a little disappointed on how…read moremuch the machines started at. Many of the machines that I am use to playing start at a penny bet, but on a lot of these machines many of them start at two cents or more, at least the ones that I like playing. If you have ever been to the Hard Rock in Davie, this one has a much larger gaming floor, I'd say maybe twice as big. Unfortunately they have a lot of repeat slots throughout the casino instead of having a larger variety to choose from. They also have a non smoking slot area that is upstairs along with other food venues to choose from upstairs as well. We went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and the prices were pretty reasonable. The hamburgers are pretty big and tasty. By the end of the night I had won a few and lost even more. I guess that's usually what happens when you play the slots. I did see a couple of hand pays, but unfortunately it wasn't for me. Overall it was ok, lots of people there and looked like they were having a good time. We might go back again tonight to see if our luck changes.

That said, this casino has the WORST ventilation/oxygen system I've ever experience. If I am at the Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, Caesar's Palace, I can sit next to 10 smokers and you would never know it. The oxygen and ventilation in the casino is top notch. We spent about 3 hours here yesterday - part of which was in the non/smoking section and I can't tell you how awful and smoky we left smelling. My head was stuffy, my eyes were puffy and we both felt sick from smoke. This casino seems to cut corners in this area and you can really really tell. It's hard to imagine wanting to come back for this reason.
