- SSamanthaLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoWe had a table in the bar area which was surprisingly not noisy. Our waiter was great, very friendly and did not hover. I had a petite filet and my husband had the scallops. Both outstanding and cooked prefect. Everyone was super friendly and valet was super fast getting our car. Highly recommend this restaurant. The new building, atmosphere, menu are fantastic.More infoFleming's Steakhouse - Tampa FlagshipPrice: Expensive• Steak• Tampa•4.7
- MMary Larsen Shortino andVIPTampa / Central Florida West •82 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWe thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Dinner was delicious. Of course it never disappoints! The restaurant was full, but noise level was moderate due to the three different levels. Our waiter was David one of the bar tenders. Very helpful, considerate and cheerful! Would love to request him again. Will be going back for sureMore infoDry Dock Waterfront GrillPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Longboat Key•4.9
- JJudiVIPGreater Boston •105 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoGreat food - Grouper was amazing. Everything is well prepared, generous portions, and the tableside prep of the 1905 salad and pitcher of sangria is fun. Great quality, reasonably priced, and very consistent.More infoColumbia Restaurant - SarasotaPrice: Moderate• Spanish• Sarasota•4.8
- HHeidiVIPBaltimore / Maryland •13 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoOur server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on EastMore infoMichael's On EastPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Sarasota•4.8
- HHelenTampa / Central Florida West •18 reviews5.0Dined 7 days ago**Ocean Prime Dinner Review – Bar Lounge Experience** Ocean Prime truly delivered an exceptional dining experience in the bar lounge! From start to finish, the evening was a perfect blend of ambiance, service, and culinary excellence. Our group of four opted for a mix of dishes that showcased the restaurant’s range, and each one was an absolute delight. The **Seafood Cobb Salad** was a standout—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Both the **Filet Mignon** and the **Ribeye Steak** were cooked to perfection, tender, and full of rich flavor. The attention to detail in preparation was evident with every bite. The sides were equally impressive, complementing the main dishes without overpowering them. The additional **side salad** was crisp and refreshing, a simple yet elegant accompaniment to our meal. The atmosphere in the bar lounge added to the experience—sophisticated yet relaxed, making it an ideal spot for an upscale yet comfortable evening. The service was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, ensuring we felt well taken care of throughout the night. Ocean Prime is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience. Whether you’re craving expertly prepared seafood, steak, or a mix of both, this spot hits all the right notes. We’ll definitely be back!More infoOcean Prime - TampaPrice: Expensive• Seafood• Tampa•4.9
