This was a great spot. My wife and I finally made it to Apollo Bistro after talking about it several times. So glad we did. The restaurant is very quaint and had a very relaxed feel and nice decor. The gentleman who was serving us, was excellent. Very friendly, not rushed and did not make us feel rushed. The food was excellent. I had the French dip, my wife had the buffalo chicken flatbread and our friend who joined us had the buffalo chicken bowl. The French dip was super tender, very flavorful and the home made chips it came with should be mass produced and sold. My wife's flatbread was so good. Thin crust, great flavor, the chicken had an excellent crunch and very flavorful. A friend salad was such a big portion that she took half home and the chicken she had in her bowl was crunchy and flavorful, and the french fries came with were very crispy and very good. This will definitely become one of our routine go to spots in the area. So glad we finally made it to this restaurant. read more

Looking for a local spot to grab a bite? Well I decided to stop in and ask for breakfast and they did not disappoint. I was able to order a sirloin and eggs, plenty of protein to start my day. Ashley was working this morning and was very happy to share some news of their uniquely delicious dessert options. If you are a dessert person and dine out then you know how boring it can't be in the Tampa area. You get the same old lava cake, key lime pie, Apple something with caramel drenched on it and the peanut butter pie and cheesecake. Well finally the Bistro decided to take it up a notch and get a lemon cello cake, a chocolate torte. So for a short time if one of these desserts appeals to you hurry over before they are gone. Ambiance is casual and open lots of seating options from booths to high tops to regular tables and bar seating too. Service is also very good your greeted with a smile and when it's busy you still get a acknowledgement. read more

My family and I visited for lunch after we visited the manatee visitor center since it was close by and recommended by others. When we arrived, we were the only people in the restaurant, but the server was really friendly and happy to see us. We grabbed a booth large enough for the 6 of us and looked over the menu. Our server brought over some water and offered other drinks and gave us some recommendations whenever we were ready to order. I saw the flatbread on the menu and knew it would be just perfect portion and flavor. Nothing else on the menu matched what I was hungry for since I didn't want anything too heavy. Others ordered some pasta dishes and they even had some tuna on the menu. Overall, this was. good meal. The food all came out pretty quickly and everyone enjoyed their meals. read more

This was our first time having dinner here; the previous two visits were for lunch. The atmosphere is calm, and many of the guests seem to be regulars. Our server was sweet and personable. The food was delicious: ~ Artichoke cake: delicious ~ Seared tuna: good as usual ~ Classic burger: good as usual Since our server needed to retrieve the wine from a rack above us, we had to step out of the booth. (I offered to get it for her, but she declined.) She rewarded us with a very generous pour -- so full that I could hardly finish. read more

Service was on spot. Found of excellent. A tasty patty melt grilled to perfection served with house chips. The setting in the midst of a tennis camp gives it the aura of a well maintained operation. Dining at the Bistro was a delicious and rewarding experience. read more

I truly enjoy this restaurant and have never had a bad meal here. It does not hold a lot of tables but there is a separate room if you have a larger group. The specials have always been excellent. I make a point to eat here every winter. read more

I haven't been here for years and friends suggested we stop for dinner. I don't believe the inside has changed at all, which isn't a good thing. The menu is fairly limited and they do have daily specials. Our server wasn't very happy to be serving us but since we were her only table you think she would have been. I started out with the soup special which was red pepper Gouda. When I asked her to describe it she said she didn't know as she hadn't tried it . The soup arrived nice and hot and was extremely good. She should have tried it. I ordered the salmon with risotto and vegetable of the day. Food arrived timely and was hot, which are both pluses for me. The salmon was so dry and there was so little sauce on top that it was not a good choice. The risotto had very little flavor. I should have stopped at the soup. read more

I can't believe I've been living around for so long and never went to Apollo's Bistro until last night. Last night, my friends and I went for dinner, and we had a great time. I usually see their sign but always thought it's a community kind of place, but it's a nice restaurant. Our server Steph was nice and took great care of us. We enjoyed our drinks: Margarita and wine. They even let us try one of their seasonal drinks, a pumpkin beer, but the Margarita won. It seems like everyone enjoyed their meal: steak, chicken, and flatbread. We did love our desserts. In general, we had a great time, and the ambiance was nice. I had a 50% off my appetizer for checking in, which was a bonus. I will definitely come back! read more

We brought a neighborhood group of 18 for a dinner. Our server did an amazing job and was very helpful, friendly, and cordial. I wish I caught her name), but she was 5'4"ish with a brown ponytail. I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich and it was A+. Perfect blackening, perfect char on the bun, and very fresh lettuce/tomato. It met every standard I've set for gulf fresh seafood. Honestly most dishes looked great, I'm very glad we came here because without this group, I would not have ever known this was back here. My wife enjoyed her French dip. The pizzas looked great. We will be back! read more

We had reservations, which was probably a good thing. One has to be looking for the place to find it. The signage from the is there, but it's not "HEY LOOK" there. I actually missed the turn and had to go down the road apiece to turn around. Nice atmosphere. Service was pretty good. The blackened cod was very good. If I'm in the area again, I'd definitely come back. read more

for Apollo's Bistro - Graduation Party Celebration We recently hosted a graduation luncheon at Apollo's Bistro for two close friends who graduated from East Bay High School, Class of 2025, and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience! From the moment we began planning, the service and attention to detail from the Apollo's team was exemplary. They accommodated our requests for unique and tasty finger foods, and even surprised us with additional delicious items that complemented our theme beautifully. The cash bar system they had in place was smooth and convenient for our guests, and our bartender / server was professional and welcoming. A special thank you to Brittany M., who stood out for her warm personality, attentiveness, and kindness. She made everyone feel right at home. Also, hats off to Chef Scott G., who ensured that everything on the buffet table was hot, flavorful, and continuously replenished -- an impressive feat! We were also given the flexibility to decorate the dining area with our school colors, balloons, and a gorgeous custom cake we brought in from Meghan an amazing artisan baker. The staff was fully supportive and accommodating throughout the process, which made setup easy and stress-free. As an added bonus, we were able to request the golf simulator to be turned on for our guests to enjoy, which was a big hit -- especially with those who love to golf. It added a fun and interactive element to the celebration and kept guests entertained throughout the afternoon. Many of our guests have since reached out to say how much they enjoyed the event, praising not just the food but the overall comfort and atmosphere of Apollo's Bistro. They truly helped us create a memorable and meaningful celebration, and we are so grateful. If you're considering hosting an event, I highly recommend Apollo's Bistro in Apollo Beach -- a fantastic venue with an incredible team that genuinely cares about making your special occasion a success. Thank you, The Jones & Cotton Family read more

Shame on us for living here over a year and not knowing Bout this place. It's certainly hidden off the traveled path, but worth the find. It's a large open seating concept attached to a children's Recreation/Day care center. The menu isn't overly large but some of the offerings are quite unique. Dinner uses the same menu but there are dinner specials available. Full bar and an exciting cocktail menu. Staff (our one lone waitress) took good care of us, explained then menu and provided her recommendations. The food was excellent on both ends and the Burger Bowl a unique twist on French onion soup and fries. Don't pass this up if you get the chance. read more

We have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I must say we we're not disappointed at all. This is an awesome little place kind of in a strange location. But the service and the food was excellent very friendly people we really enjoyed our visit and we will be back. My wife had fish and chips she loved it very much. Had to flat iron steak mashed potatoes and green beans. I must say it was an excellent cooked flat iron steak. And was pleasantly surprised they're the fresh mashed potatoes and fresh green beans. This is a kind of a hidden little place that you just have to try. read more

I think you guys are good but it's hit or miss. I was disappointed I wasn't made aware of the up charge for a salad with your sandwich. She offered it with other sides with no mention of it being extra. I also didn't like that there were bones in the grouper sandwich. You must throw the whole fish in the fryer. The soup for $9 was barely a cup of soup. Pour presentation and way overpriced. Tasted ok. I expect value to be a returning customer. I will be there again to try different things. read more

This is a hidden gem in Apollo Beach! Right off Apollo Beach Blvd near a fitness center. It's very hidden, so you have to be sure you pay attention when driving to this place :) We attended here for a birthday dinner for my mom and we were a big group of 12. Our server was great. She was very prompt and attentive. We started off drinks of course ! Beer, sangria, margaritas and wine. Then we ordered some apps! The egg-rolls, baskets of bread, calamari, the blue cheese chips and the artichoke. Everything was delicious! The calamari was probably my favorite appetizer by far. They cooked it just right and the flavor was amazing ! For our entrees, the kids ordered cheeseburgers and hotdogs. The adults ordered, the steak, grouper sandwich, chicken entree, spaghetti and a shrimp pasta. The entrees were decent. I would have to say that we have had better dinners at other places, but the price was great for the food you got. They just needed to do a little more with the entrees. Overall, a cute little place. Great drinks and apps! Decent entrees read more

So reasonable and so good. Better and quieter than most places. Great view of the courts to watch lessons while eating. Staff is amazing, kind, thoughtful and VERY accommodating! I love how they work together with each other. My father needed help and our waiter stepped up and went way beyond his job description. I have been coming here for years during lunch time but dinner was a special treat. All things were top notch! French dip and house salad were very good! read more

Food and service was great. Drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was lovely. Can't wait to go back.

This was our second time, returning today with our Thunderbird Car Club for our monthly meeting. The meeting area was set impeccably for us. Our hostess Skyler attended to our every need with incredible style without caving under pressure and everyone raved about the food! Thank you for one of the best meetings we've ever had. I recommend Apollo's Bistro for your next group gathering. For our Thunderbird Club members a nice touch was the bird photography decorating the walls! read more

I had dined here back in October and had a great experience; food was fresh and service was great. Unfortunately, my last visit in February, and our visit last night was nowhere close to the same experience. I don't usually complain about the atmosphere of a restaurant as long as my food and service were adequate but between the WAY OVERSERVED bar guests and the two (I believe were employees on the clock) sitting at a table in the bar area during dinner service, it just seemed like there's no management encouraging a positive atmosphere. Our server Sara was good, but we watched her have to go ask the bartender to make her drinks who was too busy hanging out with her friend at a table in the bar area. We have been in here before and have seen the same bartender with long pink hair sitting at the bar and other employees have to go ask her to get up to make their customers beverages. Our last visit she just simply told the boy server to go get it himself as she couldn't be bothered to get up and do it. Sara did what she could last night to give us a good experience but from what we observed the other employees had no accountability and there was no manager around to make sure the customers were a. not being grossly overserved, and b. make sure the employees are actually working. The lady at the bar who was beyond drunk was loud, obnoxious, and no one seemed to care that she affected the experience of the few other tables that came in. That bartender is solely to blame for allowing her to become belligerent. FIRE the pink haired "bartender" (if that's what you call what she was "doing") girl, we have never watched a bartender consecutively leave her bar area to go sit down, especially while other employees are trying to get their customers served!!!! She is a liability waiting to happen and overall, a bad look for the establishment. read more
