“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing Blush Wine Room, and it exceeded all my expectations. The food was absolutely delectable, the drinks were top-notch, and the service was impeccable. A perfect blend of flavors in a cozy atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone seeking a delightful culinary and wine adventure.“
“Best restaurant in the Krates! Any time I spot by the Grove I cannot resist getting Ato. The food is always, fresh and fast. I love the kiosks for ordering and building my own bowl. Their signature creations are awesome as well. A must try and don’t skip the teriyaki mushrooms! They enhance every bite. ?“
“We called ahead and made a last-minute reservation for an early Saturday afternoon dinner for 4 pm. We arrived at 4:05. The wine tasting area was busy as we made our way inside to check in. There were 7 staff members at the desk. Three were obviously busy, but surprisingly, no one made eye contact, acknowledged us much less, and checked us in. After about 5 mins, one person asked us and said we'd need to wait. We waited until another person actually looked and also said we'd need to wait. I watched as they checked others in as well. It was not a warm welcome, and it felt like we and others were an inconvenience and bother. I realize everyone is busy, but the greeting and first impression does make a difference as I've been told this place is great. We sat outside as the weather was perfect. We put in our drink orders until our waitress could come over. Victoria was really sweet, attentive, and friendly and saved the day. We had orange glazed calamari, Trio Medallion, Braised Short Rib risotto, carrot cake, a Cucumber spa non alcoholic beverage, Mai Tai and pretzel bread. Everything was amazing, and yes, I'd recommend the food to others. The total was $140 without tip, so it's a $$$ restaurant. Given the welcome, I'm on the fence about going again but usually give places a few tries as maybe it was just an off day. I was told a new location will be opening up, so maybe I'll try again at the new place.“
“Ate here a few days ago and it was so good we actually cancelled our plans at one place and came back. Amazing experience again. Never had whole fish before so got the bronzino. Wow! Crispy skin and flaky moist meat. The best fish I've ever had. My wife had the pesto pasta and like the fish, she said it was the best she'd ever had. Everything was perfect. Even the bread and salad were showstoppers. That's two great meals in less than a week. This is our new go to for our nicer meals out.“
“Tired of the same old wines? Check out La Vid and explore wines you won't find at the typical retailers. High quality, small winery, delicious wines from Spain and Portugal. The people are great, the wine is amazing, and their events are a blast.“
“What a fun place to go... GREAT wine selection... Quality wines, Wonderful food! Ron Carmichael is a great entertainer! We go every week. Angela and "G" are the best!A terrific place to meet people!!Parking: There is always plenty of free parking in frontWheelchair accessibility: You can park directly in front... All one level with easy access.“
“The atmosphere is very nice! had fun studying for a while! The bagel with cream cheese is simple but was very very good. The matcha is what I came for, the quality was great and I love that it was unsweetened, however i was a tiny bit disappointed in the appearance as I love to repost coffee shops on instagram, this one I was unable to. This is the picture I was shown compared to what I got, for the price point I did expect a little more effort, overall a great atmosphere with great products.“
“Calusa is a special place. Tulio and his team are fantastic. The food is excellent. Long story short, I’m Very critical of my fare.My favorite dish so far is their Carbonara. Absolutely delicious.Every waitress we’ve had so far (been here 3 times in 2 weeks) is fun, friendly and fast. They stay on top of beverages, check on me often but not annoying, and always have a smile.If you’re looking for a good Italian joint in north Tampa with good music, great food and fair prices, this is the place.Thanks again Tulio :)-David דָּוִד“
“It is one of my favorite spots in the Carrollwood area, but this time it has to be a four. They have too many "Grandma" dishes, so make sure the waiter hears you as to exactly which one you want through all the noise. I received the wrong one. My daughter ordered the lasagna and she could not get passed the first couple of bites, as it was dry and didn't have any flavor. The lobster ravioli at least was the hit of the table. They are better than the Olive Garden for sure, but we were let down this last visit. Maybe next time is a five.“
“My family and I had a wonderful time here last night. It was super busy (Friday night, obviously), but the hostess was very nice and helpful. She got us a great table, and would visit us occasionally to check on us. Our server was very pleasant as well, and delivered our entrees in a timely manner. The food was absolutely delicious; definitely recommend the osso bucco. It reminded me of our last family vacation to Italy. Thank you guys for a memorable experience; we will return again!“
“My husband and I were looking for a hidden gem on our vacation to Tampa. We stopped here based on a local’s suggestion. We were NOT disappointed! Emily was our server and she was so friendly and sweet, as well as very knowledgeable about the food selection. The portion sizes were large, the bread and caesar salad were amazing, and the food was all ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Definitely visit this place if you’re looking for great food and great service, without a tourist feel.“
“Showed up without reservations with a party of 8 (fortunately reasonably early in the evening), and they quickly made a spot for us. We felt welcomed right away. Calamari and Funghi Crostini appetizers were very good. My Frutti di Mare was delicious! Others had Short Rib Ragu, Lasagna, Spaghetti n Meatballs, Chicken Piccata, and Caprese ... everyone loved their meals. You can tell how fresh everything is. Prices, including adult beverages, are very reasonable. I'll be back and look forward to trying more of the menu!“
