Discovered this restaurant today and we really enjoyed it. We stopped in for late afternoon lunch,…read morewe were greeted immediately and seated immediately. The climate inside was just right and our server greeted us fairly quickly. We ordered the Crafted Burger with cheese and fries. ($13), This isn't your Momma's Meatloaf ($18) and Fish & Chips ($18). The fish and chips were really tasty, crisp and not greasy. The Meatloaf is a huge serving with fried Inions on top, mashed potatoes and carrots. It is plated beautifully and very very tasty. Out of everything, the Meatloaf was our favorite entree. We really enjoy the look and feel of the restaurant and hope they decide to expand into the greater Orlando area. CJ was our server and he was charming and as attentive as we wanted/needed.

The oaxacan was not my speed but I think good if you like tequila forward. The peach one that has "spice" is extremely star anise forward, which reminded us of pho.

I really wanted to like Sparta because it's in close proximity, but after giving it two chances, I…read morecan't solidify going back. On my first visit, I ordered the mix & match gyros and specifically requested no onions because I have an onion allergy. The receipt even said "no onions," but when I got home, both gyros had onions on them. Lacked flavor. I decided to give them another chance and ordered two burgers. Unfortunately, they were just as bad. The burgers were bland, had almost no seasoning or flavor, and didn't taste fresh. They also weren't very warm by the time I got home, so I had to reheat them in the microwave. I don't mind giving a restaurant a second chance, but after two disappointing experiences, I just can't recommend it. The food lacked flavor, and the mistake with my allergy request makes it hard for me to trust them with future orders. Front staff also bland, no smiles, no politeness. Nothing, bland just like the food here.

I had a takeout order from Sparta Seafood recently. I ordered a Gyro and a Fish Sandwich. The Gyro…read morewas quite good, loaded with meat and I had tzatziki and lettuce added to it. Nice flavor and a good value for $10. The fish was basa, had lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle on it, and was fresh and delicious. The food was ready when I arrived and the interaction with the staff was brief but friendly. Overall I thought this was a pretty good meal and I will return to try some of the other dishes on their menu. I'd give this a 3 1/2 stars.

Predatory worker compensation structure - Be aware…read more We recently dined here and noticed the tabletop signs explaining a mandatory 20% "commission" added to every single bill. When speaking with our server, she informed us that management classifies the waitstaff as 1099 independent contractors, meaning they receive a $0 hourly base rate from the restaurant and rely entirely on this mandatory guest fee for their paycheck.I have a physical copy of the check showing this automatic fee. While the sign claims this "supports our team," classifying standard restaurant servers as 1099 workers instead of W-2 employees is a massive red flag that contradicts federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines. Independent contractors set their own hours and operations; servers do not. Furthermore, a restaurant cannot legally leave a server's direct hourly base wage at zero by relying entirely on automatic service fees.We love supporting local staff, but we want our money going to businesses that respect basic labor laws and compensate their employees legally. Hopefully, public pressure will force management to fix their payroll structure. The server said the restaurant was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to make changes. Sadly they chose to break the law. On that note the service was lovely, the food very tasty. I asked to sub corn for flour tortias and she was able. We don't directly live in the area, and its been a while since we've been here. Its always good, with good portions and not a chain. Its so unfortunate.

It was our first time eating lunch at the Thirsty Marlin. They promote "fresh fish" so we ordered…read morethe grouper sandwich which was "market price." When the food came I was surprised by a very generous bun accompanied by a very small piece of fish. The tomato was horrible. The chips looked like crumbs from the "bottom of the bag." My wife just had water but I ordered an Arnold Palmer. We were floored when the check came" $70. It was probably the most expensive couple of lunch sandwiches we ever had. Were also surprised when the server told us that the gratuity was included, 20%. So unprofessional. I will never go back.

Had a great time dining at The Restorative in Dunedin. This is such a perfect date night spot…read more Everything we ordered was amazing and you can really tell how much care goes into each dish. We even got to meet the owner who is also the chef. Super cool guy and very welcoming which made the experience feel extra special. We sat at the bar seating where you can watch the kitchen in action and it made the night even more fun. It kind of gave me Rooster & the Till vibes with the open kitchen energy and intimate setup. They serve wine and beer only which honestly fits the cozy and thoughtfully curated feel of the place really well. Great food great atmosphere and a unique dining experience overall. I would absolutely come back again and highly recommend it if you are looking for something a little different in Dunedin. What I ordered: - house made naan bread - chicken veloute, potato tortellini, carmalized onions, egg yolk (gives only 1 tortellini. Wish they added more) - ricotta gnocchi, brown butter, sage, prosciutto - beef short rib, mushroom and onion tart, parsnip, black garlic (really good!! must order!!)

Knowledgeable, personable and attentive.....what more could you ask for? The overall experience was wonderful, as always. Nice,cozy atmosphere. Excellent service. And the food was pretty much perfect. I ordered the special ($90), a Tomahawk rib-eye cooked Pittsburgh medium and it was prepared perfectly! (see pictures). My girlfriend ordered the seafood Risotto, that was also excellent, with crawfish, scallops and shrimp. I always look forward to their Flame stone salad with pecans, cheese, dried cranberries and creamy balsamic vinaigrette. I would have given 5 stars but for me, at these prices, I would expect the meals to include bread and salad. The rib-eye came with 2 sides, the risotto with nothing.

We had a large group stop by for dinner last night. Service was phenomenal and the restaurant was…read moreclean. I was disappointed in the food. I got the Steak Frites and asked for medium. Most of the steak was well-done. The fries were okay and I wasn't a fan of the sauce it came with. I still cleared my plate because I was hungry. It wasn't worth bringing up to the server due to not wanting to wait for another steak to be cooked. Some comments from the rest of the group: the steak salad came with blue cheese crumbles and that's all you could taste. It overpowered the salad. The BLT wedge was okay, nothing over the top. The caesar salad with steak was good. The mac n cheese had good flavor but it was super oily. Overall, I was disappointed with the experience, especially for the price.

We came by for lunch and were seated right away. We ordered the mushroom swiss burger(14$) and black and blue burger($16) and Unsweet tea(3$). We waited not too long and my mushroom burger came out first and a few minutes later the other. I noticed by burger was dripping a bit red fluid. I cut it open and was not done enough for me. I boxed it up to take home. The black and blue was the same but he liked it. The problem he had was the burger was not blackened, just seared. The waitress never asked how our meal was or why I asked for a box so soon in the meal or how we wanted the burgers cooked. We are here from out of town but if in the area again would either have breakfast or try another place.
