- AAmyTampa / Central Florida West •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoMy boyfriend and I were completely amazed with the entire experience. From the host stand to bread service, to cocktails, to appetizer, to wine service, to meal time and finally desert. Everything tasted fantastic. Amy, our server , was delightful and knowledgeable. Her service helpers were tentative and friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and were so pleased to have been given champagne for a toast. Jorge, the GM, checked on us to make sure we were having a wonderful time. We could see he has a way with the crowd. He was shaking hands and greeting everyone warmly. Later when we got home, we spoke at length about how we have not had such a wonderful experience like this in a very long time. A++++ for the A5 Wagu . The scallops and king crab legs were incredible.More infoFleming's Steakhouse - Tampa FlagshipPrice: Expensive• Steak• Tampa•4.7
- MMikeVIPNew York City •52 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoEvery year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredientsMore infoColumbia Restaurant - Ybor CityPrice: Expensive• Spanish• Tampa•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinerDallas - Fort Worth •3 reviews4.0Dined 6 days agoOur waitress was fantastic but the kitchen was pretty slow. We were the first table there so it might have been an issue with getting the kitchen up and going but we waited about 35 min for our main courses. And it was just grilled fish. Food was fantastic though.More infoTerrace GrillePrice: Moderate• American• Lakeland•4.4
- JJayneNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoWonderful dining experience. We met the Manager, Scott who was the nicest, friendliest person who went above and beyond to make our dinner so very special. You see....we lost our precious daughter, Jenna 20 months ago. It was sudden and traumatic. The Boathouse and the Fillet Mignon sliders were here favorite. Her last birthday Orlando celebration in February 2023 was so special. We lost her suddenly in June 2023. We live on Long Island, we visit 3 to 4 times per year and T.J. has always taken care of us. Thank you to the staff at Tje Boathouse, T.J. and Scott for helping us through our grief at Jenna's favorite restaurant. You help to heal my heart! Sincerely, Jayne Hudson💜💜💜More infoThe BoathousePrice: Expensive• Seafood• Lake Buena Vista•4.7
