    Oxtail with grits
    Sean B.

    Short story -- an extremely new, beautiful interior with an attentive staff and a thoughtful chef, Bertie's makes your Island cravings come alive with thoughtfully interpreted and perfectly plated dishes. Here's a little more detail. My dining partner and I decided to visit here on a whim -- not alot of research or forethought. We consulted with the server and the chef about our dietry concerns and they accomodated every single one quite well. In addition they have a full bar, which is hyper-focused on drinks containing rum. (this is not a bad thing!). It was afternoon so no booze for us. My dining partner had the vegetarian rasta pasta with salmon and enjoyed it a great deal. Notes on the salmon: fresh, wonderfully seasoned, both flaky and soft. (this is VERY difficult to do). I had the oxtail with grits and it was delicious. We also had some plaintains, as well as an assortment of other root vegetables. All was served with attention to detail. The oxtail was fall off the bone tasty, the gravy was hearty and delicious and the grits were the best I've ever had, anywhere. Buttery/creamy smooth and just marvelous. A delightful pairing. Their dishes are creamy, full of flavor and you WILL LEAVE satisifed. We will definitely return, and try some different items. Prices are fair for the quality, service received and ambience.

    Was very surprised at how beautiful the inside of the restaurant is. The young ladies greeted us and quickly assisted with getting a table without reservations. We got a a few cocktails and reviewed the menu and the only reason we took a way 1 star was due to the menu. Brunch time was when we came in but the menu was their full menu with a tiny box of options for brunch. The main menu items are not available during brunch time and it was unfortunate bc we wanted a few items and couldn't try them. The food we did order was made fresh and was hot. It took a little time for all us to get our plates but it was good and we will recommend and revisit. I hope the restaurant is successful and stays around

    Authentic Jamaican food! The portion size is on the smaller side but tasty nonetheless. Kiara was our server and she was wonderful! She was so sweet and checked on us many times. The vibe is so cute, great ambiance and fun for happy hour!

    Visited this location last night with friends for a girls night out. We made reservations and were immediately seated at the table upon our arrival. Ordered drinks and heard those dreaded words "Sorry we're out", ...three requests later I had my beverage, then we ordered food. Some items on the menu were out as well. I ended up with the salmon which was overcooked. On a positive note the owner came by the table and rectified some of our issues.

    Ackee and breadfruit appetizer $15

    Wanted to try a different vibe for Sunday Brunch so I made my way to Bertie's Brandon. Jamaican cuisine in case you were wondering. Decor is really cute inside. Great for groups. There was a DJ and the music didn't feel overwhelming, you could have conversations on your table without yelling. Gosh, our server was phenomenal! I wish I can recall her name. We got a free round of breakfast shots from her! With regard to the food, the Ackee and breadfruit is a must. The snapper serving is actually large! The oxtail is tender but on the sweeter side for brown stew. I didn't try the jerk chicken or the curry goat but the restaurant is Worth a try!

    Came here for my birthday and everything was amazing. The staff was fantastic, friendly and knowledgable. The restaurant was beautiful but the food?!! Omg! I ordered the curry goat and it was by far some of the best curry I've ever had. Mac and cheese was spectacular and the plantains were delicious too.

    Bertie's Rum Punch9

    I want to preface this review by saying I went on opening day. There were several kinks they will surely work out by the time I'm ready to go back again. Because the food was out of this world and the service is spectacular, they'll work things out in no time. Our server, Bri, was outstanding. That's one thing they got right the first time. There was plenty of staff on hand to meet the needs of each guest. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, sleek, and sexy. I loved the booth style because each table felt private. It felt island, modern. The food was AMAZING. I had the signature rum punch and it was strong and fresh. It definitely wasn't a premix. For the main course, I had (what I think was) Brown Stew Snapper. It looked and tasted like Curry Snapper, but it was absolutely fantastic. When I asked the food runner what it was, she simply said it was the Snapper. (Geez). I won't go into detail about all the wrongs of the night as to not taint anyone's experience after opening night, because I highly recommend you give it a try. I will 100% come back and update this review after my next experience because I will go for a round 2.

    Rasta Pasta
    Sierra J.

    I'm a fan! This restaurant is brand new and I couldn't wait to try it. I came here on a Sunday with my boyfriend for dinner. The venue itself is decorated beautifully, with the decorations and background music being dedicated to the owner's roots, Jamaica. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were so nice and provided great suggestions. I had the Rasta Pasta with Chicken and my boyfriend had the Red Snapper made Escovitch style with rice & peas. ALL of it was amazing. My pasta was very creamy, and the chicken and pasta were seasoned perfectly (I even asked for a little extra spice and they delivered!) My boyfriend loved his fish, as well as the carrots and cabbage, and said that was perfectly seasoned as well. Our drinks were also great (Kingston Mule & Strawberry Margarita). The only issue he had was that the rice was a little dry. My only note is that the wait time was not that great. The reservation was made for 4:15, and we weren't sat until about 4:45/4:50 and the restaurant was only about 1/4 full. The waitstaff and owner were so nice, and you can definitely tell that the restaurant and its concept are more than just a trendy thing to the owner. If you are thinking about trying this place out, I most definitely recommend that you do!!!

    This is NOT the restaurant El Patron anymore!!! The new name is 200 Copas Bar and Grill. Let me…read morestart with this is NOT a bar and grill!! This is a nightclub that happens to serve food. We did not know that walking in. They all looked at us like what are you doing here? My husband even said is this a restaurant? So we asked for a menu - which is a QR code. Yes- they have food. We decided to sit at the bar and at least have a drink. It was early so no a lot of people. Everyone seemed confused as to how things worked. Most employees spoke Spanish and we do not. A bartender did speak English. He asked what we wanted and took our drink order. He was nice. We did end up getting food. Chips and salsa=$10! Other items were priced fairly. We asked for water and he claimed they only had bottles of still water=$4.50. But we saw someone else get a glass with ice/water at another table. Also be warned there is a "service fee" of 15% (for what I have no idea) and if you use a credit card 3% card fee. We searched on line to see what people said about this place and some other reviews on Google said they charge $10 to get in although we were not charged anything to come in. In the end the food was pretty good. Bottom line- this is a nightclub with an identity problem as they are trying to serve food as well and it just does not have a restaurant or bar&grill feel to it. We won't be back as not our scene, but also wish them well with the clients they really are trying to attract.

    Have you ever accidentally shown up at the wrong time (too early) for a party? That's what it felt…read morelike, when we stopped by for lunch on a Friday. It was open for business, but there was only one other group of two in there with us-and only one server-who was also the bartender. It was a little odd. I'm sure this place is popping at night. Our server (who was chatty at the end-businesslike before) told us there's karaoke on Friday nights and a DJ on Saturdays. I'll definitely bring the friends back for that. The drink menu is large-it would be a fun night spot. I'm just not sure I'd come back for a weekday lunch. That's not the food's fault, though. I had chicken enchiladas verde (very nice) with some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The margarita was also good. You can tell this restaurant has been around awhile-there are echoes of genres past, with different decor still lingering (the lighting, for example). But I love the murals outside, the bar surrounds, the signage by the stage area and the other Mexican touches. I also really like the vintage windows-it's a nice nod to the past. And it's spotless in here-so clean-with lots of tables. I also thought the prices were fair. I hope they thrive!

It was a few days before Halloween and my family and I needed a quick, early dinner. 5pm at 1916 is quiet. Only a handful of people around. We've been fans of 1916 since living in Plant City and are glad this location on 60 is close to us. Seat yourself and the bartender will come around to take your order. Looking over the menu, they have a good array of options. My wife loves the chicken Caesar salad. I ordered a special for the day, 6 wings for $6 as well as a Hell's Kitchen flat bread pizza. During the wait for our food I played a game where you can win a rubber ducky from a machine. My daughter enjoyed it but we didn't win. When we came back to the table, the manager floating around offered my daughter 2 small duckies for her to play with and keep. Once our food arrived, we dug in. I ordered my wings garlic parmesan. These were the best wings I have had in a while and the next time I want wings, I will be back for these. They were flavorful, meaty and decently sized. The crunch on these was next level and I truly hope they are the exact same the next time I visit. My flatbread was also good. Ample portion with flavorful toppings, cheesy and slightly crunchy with a tasty bread. Pairing these two smaller items together left me full but not stuffed. My wife enjoyed her salad but did note that the chicken didn't seem as fresh as usual and the dressing was way too much. Next time, she would order the dressing on the side so she can control the amount. Our 2-year-old picked from our plates but her palate is much more discerning these days and we're lucky if we can get her to eat mac and cheese. We will be back and you should check out 1916 as well.
