   We have dined at the Orlando location 10+ times and loved it. However, they need to do some work to make the Tampa experience a good one. The server seemed to be new, when we asked if the meze platter was vegetarian, she needed the mgr to come over to answer. Service in general was very slow. Entrees were dropped off but an empty soup bowl was left on the table rather than cleared. We asked for the check and it was another 10 minutes to get it. The meze platter was quite good. My spouse had lamb, which he was convinced was cow, and had no seasoning in it. The decor is nice, especially the colorful light fixtures. The place is a little bright it would have more atmosphere with dimmer lighting for evening.

   Appetizers were very good. My fish came out with some burns. My friend's chicken also got some burns that we had to cut off. The restaurant is beautiful, but some plates can have some improvement. Desserts are a decepcion. Most baklavas that look frozen ones that were warmed to serve.

   Food was great. Our waiter so nice. We had the taste all the things appetizer and the meal for two. It took forever between appetizer and main course. It was ridiculous.

   I have never been disappointed at Bosphorous, I have eaten at three of the locations, Winter Park, Lake Nona, and now Tampa ( Hyde Park ). Each visit they exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return.

   The food was good. Prepared and plated well. The service was sketchy: we were greeted right away, but food and drinks took quite a while after ordering. We asked for another glass of wine with dinner; it didn’t arrive until we were finished eating!

   I’ve been a fan of the restaurant since winter Park location. The Turkish cuisine is very well done and the portions are great. Service is excellent and we are a fans of this place. I highly recommend you try it.

    The most flavorful food I’ve had in a long time!!! We absolutely love this restaurant. Discovered Bosphorous in Lake Nona, FL. If I had one criticism it would be that the Tampa location isn’t decorated as well as the Lake Nona location. The food was just as good though.
