Good value and enough conch meat. Fritter fried correctly. The second dish is the blackened 15 shrimp blackened shrimp a la carte. The shrimp is big. Good blackened seasoning. The last dish is the 15 fried shrimp. I like the coating. Overall is good seafood place. The combo plate is affordable. Value for the seafood also good.“

“This place is a gem. It was on my wife's list to try. It was worth the wait. We opened with the fish spread w tortillas. It was outstanding. I had the short rib fettuccine and my wife had the snapper. Each was cooked to perfection. We finished with the key lime pie. It was terrific. Breanna, our server was attentive and nice. Overall a great dining experience. We will be back.“

“Get ready to have a great experience and feel full! Their service is amazing! I recommend making a reservation if possible because they are normally busy. As soon as getting to the table they give you a circle where one side colored means you want more food brought to you and the other side means no more. Servers will be bringing a variety of meat to you constantly and almost every minute. You think I’m exaggerating, I’m serious! They will make you feel like a queen or king! If you like anything in particularly, they are willing to get it done for you. They also have a buffet table with a large variety of side dishes, salad, vegetables, soup, etc. Their bar is kind of small. It’s maybe for about 10 people and their sangria is delicious. We were celebrating double birthdays and they didn’t make it like a big deal! No complementary dessert for birthdays, so we pay for the little piece of cake to share. Only our server stayed by our table to sign happy birthday. I know many other restaurants that bring their crew together and make you feel happy to pick their place to celebrate your special day. I think that’s an area for them to grow. I had to ask for water to two different servers. Overall a nice atmosphere!“

“ISA was a fantastic server! Isa was very attentive and made our dinner experience a absolute plessure. The food was excellent and we took advantage of the $10 take home special to extend our experience. Would highly recommend this Italian Grill and will go back regularly.“

“Costanera Tampa is a hidden gem located in the Carrollwood area. We came in for date night to experience authentic Peruvian Cuisine, which, in my opinion, will knock your socks off.I had the Lomo Saltado ( beef filet) cooked in Peruvian spices, and soy sauce (gluten-free soy sauce is available) was absolutely delicious. This is traditionally made with regular soy sauce, so if you have Celiacs Disease, it is best to inform them so they can make it with the gluten-free soy sauce instead. Although I did have the cilantro rice, I learned that it is not gluten-free after having eaten some (it says on the menu there is beer in it). Steer clear of that rice if you have a gluten allergy and opt for the white rice that is traditionally served with it. It is one of the best dishes I have ever tasted and I highly recommend it. I also skipped the French fries because of this FYI. My husband had the seafood dish Pescado lo Macho, which was a spicy gravy covering fish, shrimp, calamari, and mussels. This also was an amazing dish, I would say 5/5 for both.They also have great cocktails and non alcoholic beverages. Their pricing is really good and you get a lot of food. The restaurant is pretty big and spaced out. They have live music many nights. We actually came in on one of the nights. There was live music, and it was fantastic. Everyone was super nice at Costanera, especially the owner and his wife. The food is truly authentic Peruvian Cuisine in every sense of the word right down to the ingredients. I would highly recommend this restaurant for date nights, girls' nights, or any kind of fun night or lunch.The restaurant is located in a strip mall almost right across from the Whole Foods (you can't miss it), and there is ample parking. Below is what we had.? Peruvian Ceviche?Lomo Saltado (mine was made with gluten-free soy sauce)?Pescado a lo Macho?these came with a side of rice. We both got cilantro rice. I just found out this is not gluten-free?Sea scallops prepared tableside?Inca Kola? Sangria and mojito“

“The food was delicious.We had a boil that had green & blue mussels, 2.5 lbs of snow crab legs, sausage, shrimp, crawfish, potatoes n corn, Mr n Mrs crab seasoning, and medium heat. Nothing was over or under cooked - tricky with a boil sometimes. Our waiter was also tending bar and didn't miss a beat. And the atmosphere allowed for conversation. We have no complaints.“

“We have a new favorite restaurant! I can see why Jon Bon Jovi dined here when he was in town. I’ve NEVER in my life had better Chicken Francese. My wife’s steak was probably in the top 3 steaks I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to go back and try the lasagna. The owner made the rounds and was a super nice guy and very humble. As high a recommendation as I can possible give.“

“7.1 ?, Good Flop Looking for a no-frills pizza experience? Look no further! This pizza was alright decent crust wasnt as crispy as I like it and toppings they do the job. The one thing that stood out was , the cheese, was delicious and had a great pull, sauce was non existent in the flavor department and a little chunky. While it may not be the most memorable pie you've ever had, it certainly gets the job done when you're craving a simple slice. They do have decent prices however. Give it a try for a straightforward pizza fix!For me pizza reviews give me a follow! Zach_Reviews_Pizza“

“Although it's a chain restaurantCarrabbas never disappoints.Their chicken soup with the warm bread always hits the spot. So does their calamari fritti.If I want a good family dinner with solid food and excellent service, this is where I go. It has become a bit pricey overwhelmed years, but I always have a doggie bag to eat the next day. If they have their seasonal lemo cello bread pudding, get it, you won't regret it.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.“

“I went by there two days ago in the afternoon for the very first time,the gentleman that took my order was very polite and kind. I wanted to get boneless wings but they were pretty darn expensive ($11 for a ten piece with no sides at all is very expensive) so I opted to get the five piece tender combo that camecame with fries that was only $7 bucks and sauced in the mild wing sauce and was amazing.huge chicken tenders and the buffalo sauce was the best I have ever had! Huge flavor with no burn,and the seasoning that were on the tenders in addition to the sauce was a fantastic addition compared to the plain tenders you get everywhere else. I see myself becoming a regular here for the tenders. Thanks guys.“

“The food was great. The only negative thing I can say is there were no English speaking workers. Therefore, placing my order was quite a challenge and a bit frustrating... I ended up just pointing at a menu and looking up pictures and translation on my phone...“

“I'm telling you, my first experience at that restaurant was absolutely incredible. I couldn't help but fall in love with the place and the staff. And don't even get me started on the food! Oh my goodness, it was beyond amazing. Trust me when I say, it is an absolute must-try. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. And as for me, I'll definitely be going back for more.“
“as a native New Yorker, i am always asked my reviews on three things.pizza. chinese food. bagels.and i always compare what i eat here in florida to what I've had in new york because new york will always be better... right?well. China Star is the first chinese food spot where I can confidently say it reminds me of home. i always get the crab rangoons, and i like to switch between shrimp and broccoli and vegetable lo mein. the shocker came when i went back to new york a month ago and had a meal from my favorite chinese spot... and found i liked China Star more! with their crispier crab rangoons and more flavorful fried rice, i was left unsatisfied from the restaurant that was once my favorite spot!!you're officially number 1, China Star!“

“First, we love the old-style Florida Cracker house the restaurant is built in. Relaxed atmosphere, very clean inside. I ordered the Blackened Redfish Filet and she ordered the Blackened Grouper Reuben. Then I added the fried oyster platter and we both had sweat tea. That's a lot of food folks. The Blackened Redfish was phenomenal, and Gulf caught. The seasoning was spot on, came with some really good cheese grits too. Her Grouper Reuben was great and more than she could eat, after a few oysters of course. These oysters came from Louisiana, yes I asked. They are just a touch smaller than the farm-raised oysters but well worth it to get the natural flavor from the gulf. She had ordered Mac-n-cheese, to which they added bacon for her and she loved it. Oysters came with coleslaw and it was also perfect. Sweat tea? Yes, proper Florida sweat tea, brewed the way my Mom made it. The service was great and very friendly when I started asking questions. They also have a full liquor bar, an outside deck for live music, an outside firepit, and even have a cool little playground for the kids. By far, 10 for 10, and highly recommended by a true Florida Cracker.“

“Upon arriving, we were not greeted by any hosts/hostess for almost 10 minutes. Several staff had walked in and out of the door, to the hostess stand, and by the computer and no one seemed to acknowledge us. Trying to not like that scenario jade my first time experience, we were seated inside. Our server was a very sweet girl named Heather. She in all my visits to a restaurant has been the only server to give me fresh “extra” lemons for my water. It sounds silly but it’s something I usually have to ask for or just drink water without the flavor of lemon after the first glass. So she instantly made an impression there. Throughout our meal, she made sure to keep returning despite how busy she was to make sure we didn’t need anything else. I had the plant city salad, pretty tasty! Thank you to Heather, she turned our experience at the door around. The little details that she paid attention to, make her a wonderful server. I will say, I think the hostess/host workers need some work as they also weren’t very welcoming but that isn’t the point of my review. The take away is, going forward, we will ask to be seated with Heather. She was wonderful!“

“The Guacamole San Jose was outstanding. The chips are some of the best restaurant style tortilla chips I've ever had. I asked for a bag to take some home since I had leftover guacamole. The mushroom burrito wasn't my favorite, but the ingredients were fresh, and it came out hot. Just a personal preference and not a complaint. The service was superb, and you could tell the team work from the staff was a genuine effort to keep everything running smoothly. Felt like a family owned establishment. I highly recommend you give it a try more than once. I would frequent this place if I lived closer.Vegetarian options: Not labeled as vegetarian but easily adapted menu to fit vegetarian lifestyle. ?“

“Wings Xpress is a must-visit for late night wing cravings! Each wing is generously sauced and flavored and left me completely satisfied. Medium buffalo was not spicy, but still very flavorful. Wings were still crispy even when doused in the sauce, which is extremely impressive. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance and late hours makes it an ideal spot during late hours when nothing seems to be open. Reasonable prices and generous portions seal the deal.“

“This is typically an excellent Chinese place where we can go an order off an authentic Chinese menu (if you read Chinese). We have been coming here for years. The food os delicious, but have noticed a drop in quality recently. And they don't serve your food with rice you sort of have to ask for it... which is a little odd.“

Sit down relax and enjoy your meal !!!!“

“I really wanted to love this place as the owners seem really nice. It was empty when we walked in so that was a little scary. The food was good but not great. Extra star for the awesome little grill that comes with the Pu Pu Platter. Our server Jenni, was nice and took good care of us. Not impressed with the cheap dish soap I had to wash my hands with in the bathroom! I might return.“

“I have to say that each time I have been here it gets better and better! The lobster roll…let me just tell you…the bread was perfectly toasted. The lettuce was fresh, and the lobster…wow! The chunks of lobster were so much and so big, some pieces took more than one bite! They definitely don’t skimp on the lobster! It was perfect! Simple, which I appreciate more because I want to taste the lobster, not a bunch of other seasonings and sauces! Our server was amazing! I know what I’m getting next time ?“

“Visited this chicken haven, and let me tell you, they don't just cook chicken; they summon it from the fiery depths of flavor! The birds must have had a spa day before meeting their fate because this chicken is hotter than a summer romance. It's so fresh; I half expected the chef to ask for its autograph. If taste were a sport, this chicken would be the MVP. Hot, fresh, and tastebud high-fives all around!“

“I love the orange chicken, white rice, broccoli, and egg rolls! This is probably the only restaurant I've found who makes their broccoli nice and crunchy. Every other place always seems to make it all mushy and soggy. The staff is also very kind. I've been coming here regularly for years.“

“My husband and I discovered Christo's looking for a place for breakfast before blueberry picking at a nearby farm. The owner, his son, and the staff made us feel instantly welcome and took incredible care of us first time guests. We both had skillet breakfasts that were hearty and flavorful, and a blueberry pancake that was fresh and fluffy. Awesome food and service - I would highly reco a visit!“

“had a burger and fries. burger was well cooked (good bit of pink in the middle, flavorful) but the lettuce was shredded and wilted, and the tomato was mealy. the fries were already soggy by the time they came out of the kitchen, unfortunately, there was no crispness to them at all. service was good though, and it had nice atmosphere“

“I get the Shrimp w/ mixed veg, the Beef and Broccoli and the house special lo mein. Always great flavor and big portions. The shrimp w/ veg has pleny of huge shrimp and the veg are cooked just right. The lo mein has lot's of pork and shrimp and the beef and brocolli is the the real deal.I love Egg rolls but none of the local take out places make them from scratch anymore. They're labor intensive and I guess for the price they charge, it's way more economical to get them frozen. They taste good, just mushy.I order here at least once per month..“

“I was waiting for a whole week to try their Salvadoran tamales de pollo. And wow! Definitely worth the wait. The tamales remind me of my grandmother's tamales and sazón.I also ordered yuca frita con chicharrón, pupusas de maíz, flautas mexicanas, tacos, and fresco de tamarindo.The flavors were great, the host/waitress was respectful and caring.The only thing is there was a beeping sound by the entrance that was disturbing the atmosphere.I definitely will be back for more delicious food from my native country.“

“Yesterday, we came to this restaurant to celebrate my brother's birthday. We had a table reserved. However, we ended up waiting for quite a while, but what happened next really changed our impression. The food was generally tasty, but my tuna dish had slightly undercooked rice. I'm writing this not to complain, but so that you can rectify this situation in the future. Our waiter, Danny, was very attentive and polite; you could tell he cared, and it made a very positive impression. So, the service was just excellent. Then the manager came over and offered us a 30% discount, which was very pleasant and surprising because we didn't really need it. When you come hungry, of course, you get a little upset, but that's normal. They also gave us a very tasty dessert to take away, which was also nice. Overall, the atmosphere, the people, everything was great, so we will definitely be coming back here“

“My significant other and I were there with another couple for Easter dinner. We ordered the Ultimate Feast to share which we often do. As our server was setting down his tray to serve us from, we heard a crash bang! I said, od boy, that's our food on the floor! He felt so bad. Our companions were able to eat most of their meal as ours was being remade. When they brought out the remade meal it was mixed up and had foods I could not eat. At some point Debby shift Mgr came over and she untangled everything and made it right. Even remaking our meal to take home. We come to this location often and have never had a problem. We could have walked out unhappy, but we were taken such good care of that we were laughing on the way out. Even gave Debby a hug. We will continue to visit regularly when we're in town.Dietary restrictions: Make sure you mention them.“
