We enjoyed a delicious dinner here with a group of 6 for a birthday. We had a special bottle of wine that we brought from home, $25 corking fee. We shared a handful of appetizers including calamari and shrimp picatta, all really yummy! A good variety of dinners for everyone, steaks, pasta and lasagna. The sharing château briand was so tender it fell apart and the pasta was perfection! Fun atmosphere and our server was great, attentive and nice. Wonderful birthday celebration! 🎉🎂😍
Late celebration for our 53rd Anniversary 8/15/70. Yes, we drank, ate and had a wonderful meal all as expected from one of the BEST restaurants in Tampa. Me, A Perfect Manhattan & Kevin, scotch. Escargo shared between us and we both had the Prime Rib with green beans. Yes, I had dessert. We shared a large slice of decadent Chocolate Cake with vanilla ice cream. I am so full. Most of my prime was brought home. I had to make sure I had room for dessert. Travis was an awesome server. As always we will be back. We've been coming here for over 18 years.

We had a reservation for 7:30 for 3 people. We were placed perfectly on time. For all three of us, it was our first time coming here. Our server Watson was very attentive and very kind. We started with the escargot and Cajun shrimp appetizers. They came with toast pieces. Both were delicious, but you can't really go wrong with garlic butter. For our main dinners one of us got the porterhouse, the other got a New York strip, and lastly the rack of lamb. All three were cooked to the perfect temperature desired and had the perfect sear. The flavor was there and it was melt in your mouth. Even the fat on the stakes were rendered properly. There's not a single thing we ate and drank that was wrong. I'd say it was a great first experience. The drinks are a bit pricey for what you get but that's just keeping with the general vibe of the place. For instance, Jameson shot is 15 bucks so be warned. But we had the caramel white Russians and they were delicious. They do not offer any happy hour or specials but honestly, it's a great place to go for a special occasion, which we did. I definitely see us coming back to try a couple more things on the menu. Aside from the main dining area there is a bar section with TVs for sports, if you're into that. Check it out. They've been in business for a very long time and are a staple of the Tampa Bay area. I had to have driven by millions of times throughout the years and I honestly can't believe I waited so long to try it.
Old school steak house. Prime rib was a nice, generous cut, but not much flavor. Hostess was very friendly and service was ok for a busy night.
Family favorite for may years. Excellent food and service. Great portions and good drinks.
My husband and I came here celebrating our 25th year anniversary. I must say everything was so impressive. Our server Garrett was amazing, and the food let me tell you I can barely walk it was delicious! Steak melts in your mouth, the fettuccine Alfredo was amazing, and ceaser salad. My husband had the bone in New York Strip 24 ounce, with house salad wow! This is heaven!!!!
Exactly what we wanted for our 41st anniversary. Friendly and professional waiter that was informative and did not rush drinks or food. Everything from the Calamari to the Atlantic Salmon to the Chicken Piccata to the Martinis were perfect. Huge slice of chocolate cake was the topper. Old school vibe and well worth it. Great experience overall.
I went to this restaurant with opinion that I was going to pay and get a tiny amount of food. I was wrong the portion sizes were amazing the bread before dinner was outstanding. I had dinner that night lunch the next day and dinner the following night with the amount of food that I received. And just like my Italian father's food the second day it taste better. Our server was very attentive and we never had a empty glass. I will be going there again.

We were lucky to get a last minute reservation on a Saturday night…
Our server was super sweet, she was very patient handling all of our food allergy questions. I noticed how much they have the servers do without a front waiter, so be patient, they were responsible for running their own food, making salads, getting soup, topping with cheese and clearing the tables. As a concept, I think their should be a good runner/assistant to help and not overload their wait staff.
We did over order and over fill ourselves for the birthday celebration, but it was worth it!
The shrimp piccata appetizer was delicious
The bread was warm
The guys enjoyed the dipping sauce.
My husband said it was the best steak he’s had out in a very long time, so that beat out Fleming’s. My son loved the fettuccine Alfredo, but not the grilled chicken. I had the Queen Prime Rib, it was weird because it was hard to cut, but melted like butter in my mouth, Delicious! Our uncle had the pasta, but I cannot remember which one- whatever it was he loved it.
We went all in on desserts- Bananas Foster, Cheese Cake w/berries, Tiramisu (peanut allergy friendly)
All of it was delicious
Thank you for a fun birthday night out!!
This restaurant was possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me on this earth. At the valet, I was helped by Christiano and Vincent and they were very excited to be there. I was almost startled by their enthusiasm!! Next, I was greeted very kindly by the hostess named Mia and she made a joke that made me chuckle. The chicken marsala was outrageous… Outrageously delicious that is! It made me get up out of my chair and do a happy dance. I love this restaurant and will be returning every day for the foreseeable future.
Awesome old school place, most of the clientele is AARP but the food is excellent!
I had 7:30 reservations & the place was overly crowded. Took an hour for us to be seated on a Saturday night. Filet Mignon was amazing. I upgraded to fettuccine Alfredo for $4 more(was a bit bland needed more sauce). Overall food was really good & had the beef carpaccio as an appetizer. I would definitely come back. If wait wasn't so long would've given them 5 stars.
A great place to go for steak and Italian food. A nice place for a birthday or anniversary. The service was excellent. Nice variety of food options on their menu plus a large wine selection. They have room to accommodate larger parties as well.
We've never been disappointed here. Their food is fresh and amazing. The pork chop is a must.
Our server Colton was amazing. He knew all the details to everything on the menu which made everything sound excellent. We had that châteaubriand for two. My husband and I enjoyed every bite of the entry, salad, broccoli and the warm crusty bread. We will definitely be coming back and we hope Colton is our waiter. He is great!
Excellent atmosphere that resulted from the waiter, (Adam). He suggested a wine, very nice. I didn't care about the food at that point.
My cousin and I came to this establishment last night 8/26 to celebrate my birthday. I had a very pleasant experience. From the beginning to end! My waiter was extremely professional and kind. He made me feel welcome to the restaurant. I believe his name was Watson. I definitely will be back. The food was amazing and fresh! We came in toward the end but everything was still hot and fresh! I left a happy customer!
