Great find in New Port Richey. Decided to go based on recommendations from a few friends…read more Located in downtown NPR, near the Suncoast Theater. Sat at the bar, because we like the vibe there better. Super impressed with the bartender. Not only made great martinis, she's a certified sommelier and had great recommendations for wine pairing with food. Started off with some raw oysters. Prepared properly (separated from the bottom shell). Fresh and tasty. Next was the appetizer special, seafood mix salad on crispy potato bars. Interesting and tasty. Finally, we had the grilled octopus. Seriously some of the best I had. Nice and tender and grilled just right. Service was outstanding and attentive. Atmosphere was lively, without being noisy. Met a nice couple that go there every week for date night. It will be in our regular rotation of places to go.

We were looking forward to our first experience at Estuary, but we left extremely disappointed…read more We had an issue with my wife's meal. However, our disappointment isn't so much with the meal. It's with how their manager, Anthony, handled the situation. Instead of showing empathy, apologizing, or making us feel like valued customers, Anthony spoke to my wife in a condescending, disrespectful, argumentative and unprofessional manner. No customer should ever be talked down to or belittled. A manager sets the tone for the entire restaurant. Anthony's behavior turned our evening into an unacceptable dining experience. Because of him, and him alone, we will never come back. I hope management take this review seriously. Food can always be corrected, but the way customers are treated is what determines whether they'll ever return. Unfortunately, because of how Anthony handled this situation, we will not be back, and we will not recommend Estuary to others. I sincerely hope no future customer has to experience the same treatment.

Visited The Social on a Saturday night. Originally went to sit on the rooftop but it was full, so…read morewe opted to wait downstairs for a seat inside. Once seated, we had a great view of the stage. My only complaint on the seating would be that we were placed right under an ac vent and it was pretty cold. Service was very attentive and friendly throughout the night. We ordered the caprese kettle chips, the bacon jam sliders, and the blue cheese salad with grilled chicken. The caprese kettle chips were unique and good but could've used more of the toppings. The blue cheese salad was good - the moon kissed tomatoes were awesome. The bacon jam sliders were delicious! We almost ordered another plate of these - so good! For drinks, the house cabernet was good and the smoked pecan old fashioned had a really robust nutty flavor. Overall, cool spot!

Two pretty fun and tasty experiences at The Social over the last couple of months. Drinks were…read moregreat yet a bit pricey for signature cocktails. Food was on point each time- they have delicious flatbreads now. Bourbon bar service was great but table service was a bit slow, and outdoor bar service was nothing to write home about- food orders were messed up and drinks were added to the wrong customers' bills- area to improve upstairs. The venue itself is a blast and there is always a friendly face or a fun event on the agenda there.

Down and Dirty: beautiful views, efficient service, decent food and fair pricing…read more I was on vacation with family and friends and was looking for a local spot on the water for dinner and found this place. Making reservations on open table as quick and efficient. When we arrived, our tables put together and ready for us and we were sat immediately. A decent menu with good variety and fair pricing. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. My husband had the stacked turkey club sandwich and he thought it was delicious. I had the tuna poke nachos and the tuna was very good but the wonton nacho chips were stale tasting. I don't know if they were just left out for too long or if they were over fried, but that would be my only complaint. We chose to dine outside and watch the beautiful sunset with the cool breeze, brushing our faces while we sipped on our cocktails and enjoyed lively discussion. If we were in the area again, I would likely come here at sunset

Whiskey Joe's came highly recommended by several locals, so I was really excited to give it a try…read more The atmosphere is definitely the highlight--it's right on the water with beautiful views, a fun beachy vibe, and a great place to relax. Unfortunately, our dining experience didn't quite live up to the recommendations. We ordered appetizers and entrees at the same time, but our food took about 45 minutes to arrive, and our appetizers didn't come out until the exact same time as our entrees. Since we had ordered simple appetizers like chips and queso and ceviche, it was a little disappointing that they weren't served first. When I asked about it, I was told the kitchen was backed up. Our server was pleasant, but she wasn't very attentive throughout the meal. There were a few times we had to get up and find her just to get drink refills or an update on our food. I completely understand that restaurants can have off days, and even the people I was dining with--who visit often and usually rave about this place--mentioned that this experience was out of the ordinary. As for the food, the ceviche wasn't my favorite, and my shrimp tacos were a bit over-fried. Overall, I left feeling disappointed, especially considering how highly the restaurant had been recommended. That said, the location and atmosphere are absolutely beautiful, and based on how much the locals seem to love it, I'm hoping this was just an off day rather than the norm.

First time here and we loved it! Been looking for another small business/chef-created food…read morerestaurant since our favorite one closed in Lutz. We were impressed! Delicious, moist bread and artisan butter was such a nice touch. Probably the best restaurant bread I've ever had! We got the salmon special and the short rib. Delicious food! Left feeling full and satisfied! The waiter was so friendly and knowledgeable as well!

This was our first time visiting this restaurant. We visited for a birthday celebration…read more We started off with pimento cheese board and ahi tuna appetizers. Pimento cheese is a fond childhood memory, so I had to try it. Very good! My husband ate all the tuna before I could try it! The complimentary bread with herbed butter was phenomenal! There were five of us at dinner. Each of us ordered either the scallops or the filet. The filet was truly the most tender steak I've ever eaten. Service was efficient. Not overly personable, not rude. My only negative feedback for this restaurant is that it is definitely somewhere you go for an experience or date night, not if you're hungry. I'm fine with paying a premium for good food but I shouldn't leave hungry. Plates that cost $60 per plate should fill me up and come with a salad, in my opinion. It was a nice experience.

We would definitely bring friends/family here for a an upscale yet still casual meal. will be back to try more dishes including the steaks and to check out the happy hour during the week!

We liked the interior and atmosphere. The menu variety is very nice…read more Server was very pleasant and friendly. I ordered the bacon wrapped Scallops and the breaded pork chop on Salad, both dishes were very good and tasty. My wife had the Mediterranean shrimp entree which was very disappointing. The sauce had zero flavor and was as bland as can be. She only ate a few bites and had 1 shrimp. She was very disappointed. When server came by to ask if everything was ok, we told her that it had no taste. She said that she would let the chef know. Server asked if my wife wanted something else instead but she declined. We took the leftovers home. In our opinion if something is clearly not up to standards you should adopt a policy of not charging a guest for the food they hardly touched. Lets face it, things go wrong from time to time. I am and have been faced with the same challenges at the restaurants and hotels I have managed over the last 40 years but showing genuine concern and providing good customer service will pay off in the long run. Please empower your staff to do the right thing. They can tell if a guest has a genuine complaint. It is always better to err on the side if caution instead of risking to get a less then favorable review.

It`s been there for a long time. We went last week and we all had no complaints (over 10 of us)…read more All food came out in a timely manner and I heard no complaints. A lot got the ribs and liked them. I got the 1/2 chicken with 2 sides and it was good. Meals come with bread & butter. I just started going with this group on Fridays and I hear they go often during the year. So it is good for a large party as they can put tables together for you but make a reservation as most seating were booths I saw.

I'm gonna be honest.... this rarely happens to me so don't THINK THIS HAPPENS TO EVERYONE ENTERING THE BAR!!! Within 2 min(that maybe too long) I was handed a shot of something Big and Strong!!!
