Malio's

Man, this was my first kind of high-end steak restaurant and it was amazing! The steak was worth every penny. The appetizers were really good!We had the escargo, calamari, scallops and meatballs. Scallops and calamari were the best I've ever had. I had the 22 oz prime ribeye and it literally melted in your mouth! Best steak I've ever had by far. All the sides that we had were great as well. Can't complain. And to finish it all off. Try the espresso creme brulee with a cappuccino and that too was wonderful! I highly recommend trying out Malio's! Also to top it all off the atmosphere was great! And the service was phenomenal. I forgot our server's name but she was extremely professional and attentive. I'll definitely be coming back here one day.

We had an excellent experience with the service, especially from our knowledgeable and very nice server, Mike. He was amazing! And the owner Derek visited us frequently making sure we will doing good. We also enjoyed the various dishes including: The Shrimp Theresa, the classic American Cheeseburger, the French Onion Burger, the Steak House Salad, and the Malio's Salad with salmon. I recommend to get the Shrimp Theresa as an appetizer for the table. There's also a great selection of desserts, coffees, and wines, you can't go wrong.

Went for a birthday dinner and had my 8 month old niece with us. They were very accommodating, our server Michael was very knowledgeable about the menu and answered any questions we had and was so nice! He made the whole experience great! Thank you so much! The food was excellent, def will be back next time we visit and I recommend Malio’s for your next celebration :)

We went to this restaurant with high expectations to celebrate our anniversary, but unfortunately, we were pretty disappointed. For the price, we expected something more upscale, but the food was just average — nothing that really stood out. What made it more disappointing was that even though we mentioned our anniversary in the reservation, no one acknowledged it. Other places we’ve been to usually add a small touch like petals on the table or a little dessert to make the evening feel special. It’s not a big deal, but it definitely adds to the experience. The location was great, but overall, the food and service didn’t meet our expectations. Sadly, we probably wouldn’t come back since there are better spots out there for the same price.

We got the Caesar Salad and the Ribeye with a Side of Mash Potatoes and the food was truly phenomenal. Service was disappointing though. Felt like we were forgotten about until I mentioned something to the host about how no one had came to take our order.

Booked reservation through the restaurant for 4:30 p.m on Friday. I specifically wanted to enjoy Happy Hour to celebrate my daughter's birthday with family members. On my way to the restaurant I get a call from the young lady that made the reservation telling me that they dont open until 5. Then, once we are seated told there was no happy hour. Several of the menu items were out. Our waiter was attentive and the food was good.

We dined at Malio’s Steakhouse yesterday and had an incredible experience from start to finish. The ambiance was quiet and romantic, making it the perfect setting for a special evening. The service was fantastic, attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly taken care of. The steak was absolutely outstanding, tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, and the Jack Daniel’s steak sauce was bursting with flavor and paired perfectly. We also ordered sautéed broccoli, lobster mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes, and every dish was just as impressive, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The only thing to note is that finding the restaurant was a little confusing, as there were no clear signs to guide you in. Once we found it, though, the experience more than made up for it. Malio’s delivers on every level: quality, service, and atmosphere. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!

Our server was Emeliano and he is a super star waiter for sure.. I drink a fair amount of water with my meal and he never let it empty. He was polite very "on it" in all aspects of a server. His entire focus was to make sure we were 100 percent happy from beginning to end. We were very very pleased with him and also he was very approachable and went out of his way to ensure we were not just satisfied, but that we were indeed having a fantastic time while dining. The portions were shocking to us. It is a well known "fact" that when you dine at higher end restaurants that you pay higher prices and leave hungry. But at Malio's the portions were very generous indeed and all plates for one are easily shareable, and they inform you of this so if you are on a budget it helps. The Buccaneers had a game this night that we went and the restaurant got behind because traffic caused many people with reservations to be a little late. So they even gave us a free glass of wine while we waited, but only maybe 5 or 6 minutes. I highly recommend Malio's to everyone that comes out this way. There is no where you can be disappointed. The only way you could be disappointed is if you already are a negative individual. ... just saying...

This place is hard to find, but once you find it, it will remind you of a New York bar/restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation so we went to the bar for a drink. The bar is very nice, but the tables and stools are so close together it's not comfortable. We waited awhile for service but finally got the bartenders attention. I ordered a lemon drop martini. In watching her make it, I noticed she used a straw to "fish" something out of the drink. She still served it to me. It wasn't a lemon drop. There was so much triple sec it tasted like orange. Grrrrrr....$16 and not what I wanted. We went to our table and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Again, the tables are tight. People right behind me were up against my chair. Not sure I understand, because the place is big and doesn't need to be jammed. The menu has a nice variety of entrees. Our server, Sage, couldn't have been any better. I settled on the French onion soup and the crab cake entree and shared mashed potatoes with my husband. While waiting for our soup, we were served nice, hot crunchy bread. It was so good, we all devoured the first loaf quickly. My soup arrived nice and hot and looked delicious. It was delicious! It may be the best French onion soup I have ever had. We waited longer than expected for our entrees. My crab cakes arrived barely warm, as did my husband's lamb chops. Our friends had pasta and filet and theirs was hot, so I am guessing ours sat while they prepared their food. Again, grrrrr. Our mashed potatoes were cool, so she brought us a new batch and this batch was barely warm. I just don't get it. The crab cakes were very good. Overall, service was super, food was great, and they even took the mashed potatoes off our bill. It would be worth another try.

Malio's is the perfect spot to kick off your night before a show at the Straz Center-just a quick 9-minute walk away. Even better, they're a Channel District-approved restaurant, meaning you can order a bottle of wine and bring your leftover wine with you to the Straz in one of their to-go cups. The service was truly out of this world. Our waiter, Daniel (with the braids!), made the entire evening a 5-star experience. He was incredibly attentive and even asked upfront if we had a show to catch so he could perfectly time our meal -and he nailed it. We ordered the Wagyu Tomahawk, which was absolutely delicious -close to one of the best steaks I've had in Tampa. We capped the night off with their adult milkshake to enjoy on our walk to the Straz, which was such a fun touch. Bonus points for offering valet parking-a major plus in the Channelside area. Malio's is definitely our new go-to pre-theater spot!

We made reservations for our Anniversary dinner before we attended a play at the straz center. Beautiful interior, 5 star service, excellent food! We enjoyed the French 75 cocktail and the sidecar martini; Both are amazing! We both ordered the surf and turf special of Filet and lobster and loved it. Mac and cheese and jalapeno corn were our sides and good. However I am here to tell you to order the Burrata! We LOVE burrata and this is the BEST we have ever had anywhere including Italy. I highly recommend it!! So flavorful with the white balsamic vinegar and tomatoes.

Racially Motivated Misconduct by Manager and Bartender - 11/12/25 I visited on 11/12/25 from 4:50-8:03 PM. As a Black woman, I believe this interaction was racially motivated. Bartender Tara repeatedly slammed chairs around me and later went to the dish area, retrieved dirty wine and shot glasses, and placed them directly in front of my meal while I was eating. She ignored me completely and never acknowledged the incident. When I requested a manager, Dana approached and touched me unprovoked, triggering my PTSD. She denied touching me, then attempted to touch me again. Instead of addressing Tara's actions, Dana ratified and justified her behavior. Once Dana realized she could not run me into circles about emotions and mistreatment she comped my bill to save face. After comping my bill, Dana refused to serve me another drink because, in her words, she "thinks it's best" since I spoke up about Tara attempting to belittle and make me uncomfortable as a Black woman during my fine-dining experience. Her explanation is recorded. BEWARE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

A fantastic steakhouse right near the beach! All of the food was delicious and our server Nicole did an excellent job making sure we had everything we need. The decor inside is beautiful, modern, and elegant. My only complaint was it was a little on the noisier side, but the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. It wasn't a problem for our small party but would be a challenge with a large group. Highly recommend this as a stop for a nice evening out!

We were in the mood for a steak and made a stop here. It is inside an office building. I would call the vibe and decor high-end casual. The filet mignon was tender and delicious. The drinks and side were good too. Service was a little slow but that's a nit.

Here's another review from our last visit to Tampa. We came here for dinner with our business friends. It's a beautiful steakhouse located in a building. Hubby and I shared a seafood pasta and NY strip. The pasta was excellent, and the steak was tasty. I thought the seafood pasta was the best of the night. Our friends had filet mignon and wedge salad. They said the filet mignon was excellent. Lila was our waitress. Since she knew about Hubby's and our friend's birthdays, they brought us two plates of desserts for the boys. That was awesome! More sweets! I didn't get to explore the entire restaurant, but from the entrance to the table, I saw that the place looked fantastic! Excellent food and service! We hope they survived the recent hurricane so we can revisit next time.

The staff was polite and patience with us the entire time we were there. From the food's presentation, down to the taste was good. This is a space you can take someone special or bring the family to have dinner.

Had a double date birthday celebration dinner, and it was nice. Staff was very friendly and provided great selections on drinks and food. Crab cakes were great! Crab post - Yankee style. Kinda spicy but good. Steak cooked perfectly but was fatty. Will come back with the girls for dinner.

The steak was cooked medium well. The rack of lamb was cooked to tender perfection. The spinach was salted, the broccoli steamed and the Mac & cheese was heavenly. The waitress was attentive and the service was on point! The dimly light steakhouse was a great place for conversation and camaraderie! Prices are based on location, location, location.

Came here for a lunch and business meeting. First off this is a nice place located in a unique spot. Wouldn't call it upscale but it's also well maintained and keeps a formal look. I ordered the caesar salad and veal with mashed potatoes. The salad was very good mainly because the dressing was well made. The greens had a fresh crunch to them and the cheese was laid thick! The veal comes with an option of topping and I had to go for the Marsala. This is definitely one of the better veal Marsala I've had in a long time. The veal was tender with a nice thin breading on it. Mash potatoes were creamy with great flavor of butter. I would mind coming back for dinner sometime but if you want a good meal for a good price then the lunch here is a great option. Service was great too. Came back to check on the table many time and my biggest thing is they kept our glass of water full!

I came for a work dinner, which had a fixed menu. The little fried shrimp scampi appetizer was amazing; I could easily have eaten 25 of them and called it a meal but alas, we only got two each. I liked the house salad which had the perfect amount of funky cheese. I got the seafood pasta which was pretty good. Very very large shrimp. Honestly when the shrimp get that big imo the flavor actually takes a hit. The linguine was served in a thin sauce that was mildly lemony and mildly buttery. Funny enough, the pasta was served with a side of potatoes (same side everyone got, which makes sense since most people got steak). The potatoes were great! I have no idea how they got them that perfect crispy outside/soft inside texture. Dessert was a mango sorbet. All in all a good meal.

Great place to dine, we met friends for happy hour and we had a ball. The service was beyond excellent and the food and drinks were amazing. We split the meatball appetizer, split a salad and split the steak tips. Oh my gosh everything was delicious and amazing. The meatballs were two large pieces, the salad was big enough for two and the steak tips were tasty and tender. We had a cocktail each and let me tell you that the bartender was heavy handed ( wink wink ) and she was very sweet and professional. Make reservations for the restaurant at least 2-3 days in advance or the bar is first come first serve. The dress code was casual but I would say don't do any athletic wear. My wife had on a sun dress and I had on casual shorts and a button down shirt. There is valet parking for $6 every 3 hours. This is a wonderful place and it will be one of our favorites

Came here for happy hour, which is only in the bar area and outdoors. $9 martinis and cocktails. Drinks were great! Split some appetizers that were on happy hour as well. Both the meatballs and shrimp theresa were amazing! Service was incredibly friendly and accommodating.

The food is worth the price. Sat at he bar for dinner great service. The bar is very nicely made. Thoroughly enjoyed the oysters, lobster bisque, and shrimp appetizer,.

Great spot for happy hour. Get there early as the bar seats fill up quick! Bartenders are friendly and food on HH menu has a great selection. It's dark inside at the bar. Noise is minimum.

Went for my boyfriend's birthday for the first time. It was nothing short of perfect. Seating was cozy and intimate, service was amazing, checked in at the perfect times and had wonderful recommendations. Food was to die for, I still think about the potatoes malio and we visited a few weeks ago. Everything was very fairly priced as well, I was surprised for Tampa. Overall this is one of our new favorite spots. We can't wait to go back

This is probably one of my least favorite steakhouses in Tampa. The food is average and the service is always subpar. They have a long history here but I would recommend going anywhere else.

If you like fine dining and money isn't an option this is a place you may want to check out. I was in town for a conference and wanted to splurge a bit. Most of the restaurants near my hotel had long waits so a ventured off the beaten path to Malio's Prime. When I called ahead they said there was no wait so I decided to take the short drive. It was located in a office building but I didn't find any on street parking and I didn't see any parking lots so out on convenience I used their valet service. It was only 6 dollars if you had it validated at the restaurant. Once I checked in at the hostess desk I was greeted with a smile and seated with no wait. The waitress brought your some warm bread with butter and water as soon as I sat down. She took my order for a drink. I had their version of an Old Fashioned. It was rather strong I must say but not bad. For an appetizer I had and order of the pan seared scallops. They came out as I was finishing my first drink. The scallops were cooked well and seasoned properly. Not over cooked and rubbery as some places I have been before. For my main course I ordered the 12 oz fillet medium rare. It was ready shortly after I finished my scallops. The steak was absolutely delicious. Cooked to perfection with a tender pink interior. The plate was still warm when they brought it out. All sides are a la cart. I ordered some of the sautéed spinach, Mac n cheese, and mashed potatoes. Man n cheese was a little too cheesy for my taste. Service was definitely top tier but you are going to pay a premium. Looking at about 150 per person. I great experience for once in a blue moon if you have some money to burn.

The food was excellent. Serving sizes were appropriate so that you did not feel stuffed when you finished each course. My only the dissatisfaction was that the menu on their website and the menu in the house had significantly different prices.

Very rude hostess. Straight up nasty and should be fired for the way she talks to customers who are coming into the bar. No customer service skills whatsoever.

Went with friends for Mother's Day and had the filet and lobster. Had the blue cheese crust topping and the filet was cooked to perfection. The lobster was sweet and succulent and the service was impeccable. Everything was just as you would expect from a high end steakhouse. We will definitely be back!

15 of us came here for a friends bachelor party and had an amazing meal. For apps we had the meatballs, tuna tartar, shrimp cocktail and scallops and none disappointed. Our mains came out 1 after another so no one was waiting. Drinks flowed and the service was great! Surely a new stop on our annual Spring Training visits

Malios Prime Steakhouse is located in Downtown Tampa in the beer can highrise building also known as the Sykes Rivergate Tower off Ashley and Kennedy next to Curtis Hixon Park and offers patrons nice views of the Hillsborough River and the University of Tampa. The Escargot came baked in a tray w 6 holes in traditional Garlic Butter w Toast. Escargot is not my favorite but I figured I should try it. 6/10 The Ahi Tuna Tartare appetizer came with a generous portion of Ahin Tuna, Pickled Ginger, Soy, Cucumber, Avocado, Wonton Chips. 8/10 The French Onion Soup Au Gratin was very cheesy and flavorful. French onion soup is one of my favorites and this one did not dissapoint! 9/10 The Chilean Sea Bass came pan fried and topped with citrus butter, with a side of rice pilaf, and 2 scallops. The sauce from the scallops was not enough for all the rice. I had to ask for more sauce as the rice was a bit dry on its own. 7/10 The 6oz Prime Petit Filet goes for $48 and does not come with any sides. The typical loaded baked potato that should go with a steak will cost ya another $10, which puts this steak well over the Berns Steakhouse bar price-wise. I ordered the steak medium rare and it came as ordered and was not too tough or chewy and had a decent marinade. 8/10 The Brownies a la mode came with a large brownie, scoop of vanilla ice cream, a strawberry, and chocolate fudge sauce. The portion size is big enough to split because it is very rich. 8/10 If you're in the downtown Tampa area, and must have a steak with a view of the water, definitely can recommend you check out Malios Prime Steakhouse!

We didn't have a good experience. The place seems a little dirty. The table was greasy and the seats had crumbs everywhere. We order appetizers and they were served before the drinks. Not a huge deal but the irony is, we then waited 90 minutes for our entrees that never came. We asked several times and were told they were on their way. They had a large party and they prepared their meals first. We finally gave up and left. We spent 2 hours there and left hungry. We went back to our hotel and ordered room service. Plenty of great places to eat in Tampa. This isn't one of them. I highly recommend avoiding this dump. The prices are set like a 5 star steak house yet the entire experience was atrocious.

Sat night walk in four guests no reservations. We were seated in the bar at a raised four top. One round of drinks and three steaks and lamb along with an appetizer of mussels. The server was not efficient! He was nice but not a prof. server. Management let him be/get overwhelmed. The steaks arrived with plates and table clutter from shared appetizers. Clang clang clang after a quick clearing of the table garbage, the main course had space to be served. Now we had no silverware no set ups no salt and pepper and four empty water glasses and our food in front of us. I asked for the end cut prime rib and if not available to cut off a rare steak and season it and and throw back on the grill for med rare. My steak showed RARE ... not as I ordered! No horseradish.. and only HR sauce. The steak knives were trash as they could not cut the lamb chops or prime rib. Management never passed by to police the server, ask if all was AOK, or to supplement where the server may have been overwhelmed or deficient and not doing as trained or was not trained. I feel like we should have expected more from a place like Molio's. Berns nails it every time in the bar! Molio's high top tables were tight, crowded, with low back bar chairs, and wobbly! I had to get the attention of the host at the greeting podium for help, for food to be returned and have cooked as requested, have the lamb chops cut by the kitchen, and so on... I had to deliver my charge card to the server as we were ready to go and had been waiting for him to stop by for follow-up an conclude with presentation of the bill! $365 ++.

Great steaks that were cooked perfectly to the requested temperature. Tuna tartare was really delicious too. Beautiful interior.

My boyfriend and I came to the steakhouse after spending time at the Hard Rock Hotel. Unfortunately, street parking was quite difficult based on the location of the steak house however the underground parking was near empty when we got there. Signage from the underground parking to the restaurant was also quite scarce and had I not seen the small sign, we would have gone the wrong way. Not a male or break, just something to keep in mind! Once we arrived, we were greeted and seated quickly. Our server was quick to answer any questions we had about the food and took our order as soon as we were ready without delay. Our food arrived relatively quickly. We ended up getting a bottle of Daou, Burrata & Heirloom Tomato Caprese, The Wedge, Prime Delmonico and Fresh Scottish Salmon. Everything was flavourful and very filling to the point where we still had some leftovers. I particularly appreciated how our server went above and beyond to plate our salads on two separate plates rather than us needing to separate it or eat from one plate. Should we be back in the area, we would come through again!

I had the best night ever celebrating a special occasion at Malio's! The service throughout the two hour dinner was incredible. It has a perfect location right on the Tampa Riverwalk in the heart of downtown. Our group chose to sit inside to avoid the Florida humidity, but the ambience inside is just as perfect. We started with a bottle of Chandon. It was magnificent! Next, I enjoyed the Summer Salad, with fresh fruit and goat cheese. For our mains, we ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and Seared Ahi Tuna Steak. Both were incredible! For dessert, we spoiled ourselves with Brownie Sundae, Bananas Foster, and Lemon Drop Martinis. I may have gained 5 pounds leaving that night, but it was well worth it! Street parking is limited in this area. I recommend ubering, scootering, or walking if you live nearby!

We were in town for a hot min and decided to choose a restaurant randomly after parking. We were definitely not dresses for the space, but they still treated us with respect (we were at the zoo all day and in casual wear). Clientele seemed to be business casual. The menu had a wonderful selection. We ordered the meat & cheese board. This was a perfect start. Fresh, flavorful, and the house bread went perfect with it. My one daughter and I ordered the tuna steak (I wanted the pork chop originally, but they were out). The tuna steak was good, but I was not wowed. It was a very one note. IMO, it would have been better as a starter for the table. My other daughter ordered your salmon. That was delicious and a nice potion size. We also ordered 3 sides to share. The asparagus was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes needed seasoning, and the gouda mac n cheese was so creamy delicious. We skipped dessert. My French martini was perfect! The location leads right to the river walk. They also seemed to have valet and patio seating.

Will return!! This was our first experience and not our last. The drinks, food, and vibe were great. Customer service was great, we have no complaints. I am glad we decided to go, after reading the reviews we were on the fence about it. We had a 6 pm reservation but we wanted to experience their Happy Hour so, we sat at the bar for about 20 minutes. They do not offer the Happy Hour menu in the main dining room. The drinks were amazing. I had the Slane Old Fashioned and my husband had the Tennessee Lemonade and the 1738 Sidecar. He enjoyed both. We enjoyed the bread while waiting for our food. I had the Crab Cakes, my husband had the 6oz Prime Petit Filet and we shared the Smoked Gouda Macaroni & Cheese and Creamed Spinach. The Crab Cakes were very meaty and well-seasoned. My husband really enjoyed the steak, he said it was well-seasoned and he did not need any sauce. The tenderness was just right for a well-done steak. We definitely enjoyed our experience and we recommend it.

Great service. Chocolate martini was amazing. Steak was delicious. Lobster was perfect. Bread was simply perfect. Great meal!

AVOID!!!!!! Horrible food. You can tell the place is dirty We sent food back three times. Malio's admitted they messed up and tried to make it work. Even that as a failure. Applebees would get more stars. Drinks were the only good thing. Everyone blamed everyone else for issues. So you know they have no accountability. Best line was "we are a dinner place". If anyone finished a full meal here. We will see they post about getting sick soon Spend the money and Uber to chili's

Came here with 3 friends for dinner before heading to the Straz. It was a little hidden, but luckily we had someone with us that knew where we were going. We had a reservation, but showed up early and they were able to sit us quickly. We were sat in the bar area. It was dark, but each table had its own little light. It had a good ambiance to it. I consider this to be a more upscale steakhouse so we wanted to make sure we were dressed appropriately. I was a little surprised to see that some people did not feel the same way. Drinks we ordered were the French75, Malios Mule, and tequila old fashioned. Overall drinks were good and 2 of us ordered another round. Food we ordered was the 6oz filet, Mac and cheese, loaded potato, asparagus, crab cakes, malios salad, and seasonal salad. Two of us were sharing the malios salad and our waitress was nice enough to have them split it and bring it on 2 plates. So helpful! Food was fresh and delicious. I would like to return, but price wise it was high and we aren't in a position where that can be a normal thing. Maybe someday again for a special occasion.

Thought this would be a nice lunch spot but completely wrong. Other than the expensive drinks this place is a waste and do not recommend. To start the complimentary bread was so hard it was not edible. The filet sandwich I had to send back 3 times due to over cooked meat and also very hard bread. The fish of the day was very sad and mush also not edible. The French onion soup had flakes of bay leaves which aren't supposed to be in there and made the soup not edible. Overall disappointing! The bartender stated that they are more of a dinner place so why are they open during lunch if they aren't going to care. Save your money and don't be disappointed by coming here.

I don't know how I've lived in Tampa for 15 yrs and never been here. Malio's is a top steakhouse in the area no questions asked. Honestly, I like it better than Ruth's Chris, Fleming's, Charlie's, Council Oak, etc. With the restaurant resting on the river with gorgeous views of the boardwalk, the ambiance is beautiful both inside and out. The bread was fresh, warm and amazing. Crusty outside with soft inside. We ordered the shrimp cocktail and they were the biggest shrimp I've ever seen. So delicious. The wedge salad was great as well. My steak was probably the most tender steak I've ever eaten. I could say more but I'll save you. I will be back though. Obviously highly recommend.

I have eaten here for years and I was blown away by the delicious food and service we gotten. Definitely my new favorite Steak house sorry Charley's

Had the privilege of dining at Malio's for the first time. Had a delicious meal. Extremely fancy for a girl like me. I am hoping for another chance to be wined and dined here.

Excellent steakhouse in downtown Tampa. The food was truly delicious. The steaks are some of the best steaks we've ever had in our lives... and we've had good steak! The service was absolutely excellent. The ambience is quite lively. It's a great place for celebrations and group dinners.

Best steakhouse in Tampa Bay area! In my opinion it's hands down better then meat market, Bern's, Rococo, etc. First and foremost, can't be wearing shorts and flip flops. Not kind of place Service is impeccable. Came over multiple times to check on us but not too much to annoy. Environment is clean and comfortable with different level seatings and also an outdoor seating area Now to the most important. The food! I had the Australian Lamb chops and it was amazing! My friend had the cowboy ribeye, I couldn't stop talking about - how it's the best steak he's had in the area My other friend got the petite filet, she rarely eats steak but it looked so good she couldn't resist ordering a steak. We had the meatball appetizer which was absolutely delicious. The bread! OMG then bread, I rarely eat bread but the seasoning on it was to tempting. I couldn't stop eating most of it lol Dessert: we order the creme brulee, cheesecake and the ice cream with this cream sauce which I can't remember and man that was so good. I can't stop thinking about how good that was. We order the grand Marnier shot with the creme brulee, but I don't recommend getting the shot, it over powered the already good creme brulee.

The food and ambiance here is great. I really love sitting outside near the water. It's nestled right in downtown Tampa and great for a special occasions dinner.

I really enjoyed my experience prior to and while dining here solo on Valentine's Day. I called ahead and they were able to accommodate my reservation. I was seated quickly and received prompt and courteous service even on a busy night. I went with the NY strip steak and smoked gouda mac & cheese and it was great. Nice ambiance and the gelato I ended the night with was honestly the best I've ever had. 10/10 recommend and definitely returning.

Walked in with no reservation for 10 people and they were not even willing to accommodate us. We would have spilt up and waited. The hostess was rude and not even willing to help. She immediately turned us away.

The petite filet is apparently very popular according to the waiter who helped me. For good reason too as I loved it. I'm a huge steak guy, and it was delicious. Highly recommend.

Nice place and has great service. I thought the place was very nice but I was expecting a little more with my filet. Cooked correctly but a little lacking in seasoning. Would I go here again? Not sure, it is expensive and for that expense, I did expect a little more. All in all, still a pleasant experience but I rate a lot of places on Yelp and my reviews are how I feel.

Elegant restaurant in the downtown River Gate building, affectionately called the "Beer Can Building". Quiet luxury with excellent service. My filet nuggets for lunch was very good, but the warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream stole the show. Everyone was jealous with the smell of chocolate filling the air.

Drinks: ordered an old fashioned and it was really tasty-made with a perfect balance of ingredients. Appetizer: started with the meatballs as appetizers and they were delicious. The complimentary bread was also good. Dishes: ordered a filet mignon and it was ok. My wife ordered the seared ahi tuna, which didn't have much taste and was bland. We ordered the Smoked Gouda Mac n cheese and that was really good. Also, ordered the potatoes Malio and they were ok, not worth the $24 we paid for them. Service: not the best. I understand it was busy, but had to keep moving our plates to another table to make space. Ordered sodas and had to get refills from the bar since the waitress was slacking. Overall: average. Doubt I'll be back for dinner. However, they have great happy hour prices on foods that are not available for dinner and good drink prices. I'll be back, but just for happy hour.

Amazing happy hour, awesome service. Tuna tartare is probably one of the best I've had in tampa. Will be back! Thank you so much Brian!

We had our anniversary dinner here and it was fantastic. We had the charcuterie board for an appetizer, I had a filet, my husband had the strip, we shared the Malio's potatoes and Mexican corn. It was all so good and perfect portion for us to share the sides. The steaks were cooked perfectly. We ended with dessert, which we never get at restaurants, and it was amazing. The ambiance was a little loud but that is to be expected with the large crowds after the St Patrick's day festivities. Our waitress was great as well. The only down fall to this restaurant is no bathroom, you have to go out of the restaurant to get to it.
