I ordered the nacho plate and it was covered in barbecue sauce. That's a bit unusual, I will need to remember to ask for hot sauce instead. I am not used to sweet nachos. But I guess I am just learning the menu. It was quite a lot of food for the price. And the souvenir glass with free refills is a definite must.

I enjoyed the comedy show here tonight! First off, they have…read morea great salad with grilled chicken! The service was ok- a lot of guests to serve obviously but our server always delivered even if it took her a little while to do so (ie knives for the table took a while to receive, but she did not forget). The ambiance is interesting ~it's definitely an old building and it looks like they're trying to capture that. It did have a sewer smell throughout the whole night which I'm not sure if that's an old building thing or what. On to the show- it was great! We really enjoyed it! The tables are pretty close together so we scooted ours to get a little more room- expect to not have much wiggle room while seated. All in all a nice place to catch a comedy gig!

A Cinematic Masterpiece Before the Movie Even Begins…read more If you are looking for an unforgettable night out, the historic Tampa Theatre is an absolute must-visit. Calling it just a "movie theater" feels like a massive understatement - it is a breathtaking time capsule and a true architectural marvel that elevates the simple act of watching a film into a grand event. From the moment you step through the doors, you are transported into a spectacular, 1920s Mediterranean courtyard. The attention to detail inside the auditorium is stunning, offering an experience that modern multiplexes simply cannot replicate. Here is what makes it so incredibly special: * The Atmospheric Ceiling: You sit under a remarkably realistic night sky, complete with 99 twinkling stars and gently drifting clouds, making you feel like you are outdoors on a perfect evening. * The Architecture: The eclectic, opulent blend of Moorish, Spanish, and Byzantine details - surrounded by gargoyles, statues, and ornate balconies - gives the space a magical, almost surreal charm. * The Mighty Wurlitzer: Arriving early is a requirement! Hearing the historic theatre organ played live before the screenings perfectly captures the golden age of cinema. The programming is just as thoughtfully curated as the decor. Whether you are catching a brilliant independent film, a beloved cult classic, a documentary, or a live event, the venue makes every single screening feel momentous. Grab some popcorn, take in the gorgeous scenery, and enjoy the show. The Tampa Theatre is a meticulously preserved local treasure and truly one of the greatest places to spend an evening!

I went The Dinner Detective with a group of 6 on a Saturday night. We were seated at large tables…read morewith others that we did not know. We were encouraged to mingle with everyone around the room including the others at our table. The people were nice and the food was fine. The "Detective" show portion of the evening was three acts and it was incredibly cheesy. I was not very entertained but I'm sure others were as it just was not really my thing. I really wanted to socialize with the group I was with instead of watch was seemed to be a drawn out 3 hour program. I went because I was invited by a group and would potentially go again if someone asked but I wouldn't ask others to go for any special occasion on my behalf.

Salads and dessert placed on the table ahead, sitting there warming for hours. Ew. Chicken picatta had zero sauce, had "funky" chicken parts, dry. Mashed potatoes were ok. Drinks were expensive and only water, ice tea and coffee included in price. Murder mystery - cheesy at best, hard to follow, long, room was unattractive, no music to provide ambiance. Save your money, go to the Dio nearby for the same price!!!

From the moment it began, it was clear that an enormous amount of talent and hard work went into every part of this production. The four performers carried the entire show with remarkable range. They moved seamlessly between singing and a variety of choreography styles, each number bringing something different to the stage. What stood out most was how much fun the performers were clearly having, and that energy was infectious. The audience was laughing throughout, fully engaged from start to finish. There wasn't a lull in the entire performance; every scene felt purposeful, and you could tell the cast had put in serious work to make it look effortless. This is the kind of show that reminds you why live theater is special. It's polished, it's funny, and it's performed by genuinely talented people who clearly love what they do. I highly recommend this theater to anyone looking for a great night (or day) out. Whether you're a longtime theater fan or just want an entertaining few hours, this production delivers.
