- AAmberTampa / Central Florida West •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoA much needed date night turned into the perfect evening of laughter, delicious food, and wonderful people. From our friendly hostesses, to our server Will, and also the Manager Joseph Favuzza ( among other staff that chatted and smiled with us) the positive and professional people took care of every need. We enjoyed our shrimp appetizer ( that we always get) the salmon, and the filet. The bread and salad are always a hit and absolutely the best way to wrap it up was the butter cake. FABULOUS! We’ve been patrons since the 80s and will continue to be. Thanks got a great evening!More infoTexas Cattle Company-Lakeland, FLPrice: Moderate• Steakhouse• Lakeland•4.7
- PPixieTampa / Central Florida West •5 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoRefreshing to enjoy appetizer, salad, and entree that were prepared with seasonings rather than just a lot of butter, cream or salt. On the pricey side, so best for special occasions. Bay Street Bistro is a gem.More infoBay Street BistroPrice: Very Expensive• French• Lakeland•4.8
- AAndiTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined on 14 Dec 2024The food was very, very good. Server was pleasant, although she did forget to bring a side of shrimp for my steak and brough it later. We chose a variety from the menu and all of it was cooked perfectly and tasted great. We will definitely visit here again when in town.More infoOvation Bistro & Bar - Lakeland PRIORITY SEATINGPrice: Moderate• American• Lakeland•4.2
