“Dana is an excellent provider of service to the diners. She is on top of things so you lack nothing! Her personality is professional . Her knowledge of Outback's products was extensive. Love to eat lunch here because the food is well prepared and the service impeccable. Even staying two hours, no one rushes us out!“
“Bascom's: Delicious Food, Service Needs ImprovementBascom's has always been a go-to for a satisfying meal. Whether you choose a table or the bar, the food consistently impresses. Last night, I enjoyed the Bascom Salad, a perfectly-sized starter that prepped my palate for the main course. The highlight was the 22oz bone-in ribeye, cooked to perfection, accompanied by a delicious baked potato. I was so full, I even ended up taking half the meal home!One unexpected change was the previously complimentary bread service now having a charge. While it was listed on the menu, I must have missed it. Hopefully, Bascom's will reconsider bringing it back as a complimentary offering.Onto the service. With winter crowds thinning, I understand the staff might be winding down. However, the experience fell short of Bascom's usual standard. Previously, they had a two-tiered service system with a dedicated front waiter and support staff, ensuring attentiveness.Our waiter, let's call him J, seemed off-putting from the start. He rushed through the specials and drink options without much warmth. While a secondary server brought water, we never saw them again.J later took our food order and inquired about refills. That's when we learned about the charged bread service. While it was on the menu, as I mentioned, it completely slipped my mind. A touch of hospitality from J pointing out the menu change would have been appreciated.After clearing our plates, the main course arrived promptly. However, we had to request additional silverware. The rest of the evening was pleasant, but dessert-free.Overall, Bascom's remains a good choice for delicious food. However, the service needs improvement to match the high standards I've come to expect.“
“We eat here often as it has become one of our favorite restaurants! Last night was exceptional! We both ordered the filet which was melt in your mouth! My baked potato & hubby's sweet potato were Devine! Corn and house salad were also the best! Thanks for a delightful evening ?“

“I recommend EVERYTHING, there appatizers and cocktails were amazing, which we 2 nights ago, and last night I had to try there steaks, and again I was blown away. I had the CAB BONE IN TENDERLOIN, Oscar style. WOW!! Steak was done perfect, and taste amazing.. They have the most polite staff on the beach, our bartender (gabriella) was amazing, and if my wife would let me I would eat there every night of our vacation!!!“
“Stepped into Cody's for the first time the other night, and wow, I loved the vibe from the moment I walked in! But you know what made it even better? Our server, Lexi! She was like our personal guide to Flavor Town. When I couldn’t make up my mind about what to eat, Lexi came to the rescue, asking me just the right questions before recommending the ribs. And let me tell you—she nailed it! The ribs were a total knockout. Even though the place was hopping, Lexi kept the good vibes going and made sure we were well taken care of. Awesome food, stellar service, and a ton of fun. I’m definitely swinging by Cody's again when I’m back in town—and you bet I’m asking for Lexi!“
“The reason we have a five-star review is 100% due to our waitress. Our waitress, Adriana, was incredible. Her energy was absolutely infectious! We loved our interaction with her from start to finish. I would 100% come back to this restaurant just to have her as our waitress. The food was definitely top notch. 10 out of 10 recommend. Great job, Adriana! Thank you so much!“
“My wife and I cam in for lunch this afternoon. Typically, I don't have high expectations for a chain restaurant and, over the years, our Outback experiences have mostly average with a couple that were terrible. However, today's experience was a 10+. Although out server, Haven, was brand new to serving, she more than made up for lack of experience, with pleasant smiles, a genuine desire to provide us with excellent service, and attention to detail. We spoke with one of the mangers, John, afterwards and expressed how pleased we were with our meal and the service, and he was grateful because usually patrons only speak with the manager when they are upset with something. I ordered the center cut sirloin with asparagus and a baked potato, and I couldn't imagine it beings any better. I am a food snob who has worked in the restaurant business for over 20 years, and I was blown away. The quality, tasted, and price of my meal was excellent. The only negative I can share the is the butter cake my wife ordered for desert for $8.79. The menu states that it's made with strawberries, but it was actually a strawberry sauce that was loaded with sugar. Out fault for not saying anything because I am sure Haven or John would have made it right. Even still, I highly recommend this location.“
“I love this place. I've been frequenting longhorn for years. I noticed a manager there who was diligently running food, picking up dishes, talking to customers and moving around at warp speed! He was awesome. His name is Josh! I wanted to let him know the Conch Republic needs a guy like him! Ask for Dan Brekke. Tell them Scott K. sent you :)“
“The quality of food is excellent. Staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Special recognition for Kelly and Eric for breakfast service, and most especially Lori for dinner service. Lori and the kitchen staff accommodated us at closing time on our 1st night, provided suggestions for our trips to the ballpark and the surrounding area, and provide fantastic service at dinner on our last night!“
“The last few times the ribeye has been cooked to a perfect mid-rare on the flame grill upon my request. Very good every time. The potato is always a winner too with the salted skin and loaded toppings, just wish the cheese was freshly shredded versus the bagged stuff. The pecan chop salad or lettuce wedge are always great starters along with the chili, an actual steak chili with a nice spice. Eeyore been enjoying his last few visits at various locations. 5 stars on the steak and potato, 4 stars on the toppings and all else.“
“I HAD A SUCCULENT DELICIOUS AMAZING WET MOIST PRIME RIB FROM HAROLDS AND IT WAS DEVINE. ME AND BARB HAD SUCH A GOOD MEAL WE COULD BARELY MOVE AFTER WE LEFT. CLOVARIOUS WAS AN AMAZING WAITER AND MADE SURE WE DIDNT WANT FOR NOTHING EVEN THOUGH HE WAS CLEARLY A LIBRUL IF YOU KNOW WHAT IM SAYIN. RECOMMEND 10/10 WE WILL BE BACK TO SLURP UP SOME WET AND MOIST MEAT FROM Harold Seltzers Steakhouse“
“Hannah at the front was so kind and inviting, she went the extra mile to find me the best seat outside that would stay dry if it did happen to rain again. She also wiped off the table so thoroughly and made me feel right at home. Georgia was Attentive but not overly intrusive as a server, she also made me feel so much at home and helped me order. The grouper lunch… I really don’t have the words for it. The food here is SO FAR BEYOND any other restaurant I’ve had in Tampa Bay — these are real chefs in the kitchen. The only way to understand is by eating it!“
