Nick was amazing! He is super sweet, helpful, and quick! We really enjoyed the service and can't wait to come back !

Key West Blackened Grouper Sandwich
Sammy K.

Ordered here two times as I was staying at the hotel. The food was great the service was questionable. I ordered a flatbread pizza and a shrimp Caesar salad last night. The flat bread tasted as if it was microwaved, but the salad was amazing and came with lots of shrimp! The salad was absolutely delicious. The bartender last night didn't seem to want to be there. Perhaps he had a long day and I know everyone is going through something, so my party gave him a lot of grace. He would get better tips if he just smiled though. He was a total downer. Not what people come on vacation for... This afternoon I went back and had a more pleasant experience as I devoured a Blackend Grouper Sandwich. I did order the meal to dine in the restaurant, but was given a to go box, which was fine because it didn't take away from the food. The person working seemed to be a bit overwhelmed and confused. He even tried to give me someone else's order. Perhaps they need a better POS system or table markers. I really wanted to give the restaurant a 4/5 but the first night's lack of customer service was just too much to over look. Plenty of other places to go for seafood that will make you feel welcome.

I hadn't been since they completed the renovations it's looks great and has great seating. The bartenders were great. The food was just okay but the restaurant has a great vibe.

Lobster & Crab Bisque.
Alek H.

Nice hotel bar/restaurant that's open late. The front desk staff are nice and the place is pretty clean. The reason why I love this place is because every time I'm here, the bartender is the same guy. He is fast, attentive, sweet, professional and works very hard. His name is George. He is from Ecuador. I hope this business and Hilton value him and his work ethic. The bisque was delicious by the way. The cup was not enough. Had their burger and it was cooked perfectly and hit the spot.

Casa Cami was absolutely amazing from the food to the service to the vibe!…read more Our server was phenomenal. Every recommendation he made was spot on. We started with the flautas as an appetizer. My friend had the chicken al pastor tacos, which were incredible, and I ordered the chicken quesadilla. Hands down the best quesadilla I've ever had. The drinks were just as impressive. I asked for a cocktail I had seen mentioned in reviews but didn't see on the menu, and our server had it made perfectly without hesitation. My friend also had a custom drink made to her liking. The atmosphere really seals the deal. Sitting outside with a view of the water, sunset, and Tampa skyline was unreal. We were already talking about when we're going back before we even left. I 100% loved my time there. 10/10 recommendation!

The food was 4 stars and the view was 5!…read more I went for a work lunch, so it wasn't too overly busy. I can see this place getting packed right before sunset. The parking is probably the biggest con of this place, but overall definitely a nice place to have an adult meal. I wouldn't necessarily bring my children here as it's got an intimate feel to the place. We shared the salsa trio which was good. I ordered the Chicken Paillard which was also good. The decor is pretty, but again, you're here for the views.

I was vey excited to originally come here last Saturday as we had a good friend visiting us from…read moreChicago. Things changed and it turned to a party for two yesterday. Parents night out was a great time at Oystercatchers. We started with the Single Tier Seafood Plateau and beyond the oysters, for me the Tuna Poke was the bomb!! This was a nice start to our experience. Then I did the St Augustine Clam Chowder and while it was good, it was a bad order on my part as it's a hearty soup. It was too much for me at this time of the year. Then we split the Seafood Mac and Cheese which was great and had some killer pieces of shrimp and spiny lobster in there. Now I won't go into details but we had an issue and the staff did an amazing job going above and beyond to resolve it. We weren't looking for them to go above and beyond but we appreciated it. We also had a nice view of the Bay during dinner which was nice. Comp valet is available which is a nice touch. We will come back in a few months to check out their brunch!

This restaurant's selling point is the view. Especially at sundown when guests flock to the back…read moredeck for photo ops, leaving their chowders, salads and entrees alone on the table. I positioned myself on the back deck for dinner right before sunset. I started with three broiled oysters in a classic topping of spinach garlic butter ($14). They were wholly delicious. Maybe I should have passed on the St Augustine Clam Chowder ($13), a bowl of lukewarm tomato based broth with datil pepper, pancetta and diced vegetables including potatoes. The highlight was to be a fried clam fritter- a clam golf ball that waded in the broth, like a beach ball in the pool. It was too fried to absorb the liquid and required a knife or a stab from the soup spoon to break it apart. Bits of clam were now exposed to a soggy mass of fried batter. Ugh. The jerk chicken entree ($34) was too much money for too little moistness and real Jamaican jerk flavors. Bits of papaya, mango and peanuts were around the piece of chicken. Sides of cilantro white rice and slaw accompanied the chicken but didn't do much to salvage the bird. Just meh. Service was prompt and friendly. So maybe the sunset serves well to distract from the menu.

I am beyond thrilled with not only the food but also the service at Olivia's. I've been dying to…read moretry this place, and my taste buds are absolutely happy as can be. I went on a Sunday and had the best experience. The ambiance was beautiful--everything was clean, the noise level was not loud at all, and I loved the lighting and overall atmosphere of the open-concept space. It felt comfortable, elevated, and easy to enjoy a full meal without feeling overwhelmed or rushed. Our server was training someone, but you couldn't even tell--it was so professional. One thing I noticed was how many people work there, and I really hope it stays that way. Each staff member had a specific role, and it made the entire service feel seamless. There was no rushing and no stress on the servers. You could tell they really enjoyed what they were doing. They also offer complimentary valet, and you can even Venmo a tip, which made arrival and departure super easy. At the end of our meal, someone even came to box up our food for us--we didn't have to do it ourselves. Very old school NY!!! Top-tier service. As for the food: the oysters we had were flavorful, and the garlic bread selection was soft and not overly heavy on the garlic. My friend ordered the scallops with risotto and crispy prosciutto, and I ordered the special chicken Parmesan with a side of spaghetti in a lemon sauce that they suggested. I was in the mood for a lemon-flavored pasta, and they absolutely delivered. Both plates were phenomenal. I wish they had a place like this in Orlando. I also wish the chicken parm would always be a special because that sauce was delicious. Growing up in Brooklyn, I've had some really good Italian food--and I would absolutely come back here. I'd give service five stars and food five stars. Thank you for a great meal--you did not disappoint.

Our server greeted us promptly, and we started the evening with a chilled bottle of Pinot Noir and the meatball starter. The presentation with the polenta was beautiful, and the flavor was outstanding. For our entrées, we enjoyed the lemon fettuccine with lobster, the honey ham pizza, and the wild arugula salad. Every dish was excellent -- fresh, balanced, and full of flavor. Dessert was just as memorable: a chocolate gelato and a pistachio gelato topped with espresso. A perfect finish. What made the night truly meaningful was the kindness of the serving staff and the manager, who took the time to greet us and make our anniversary feel genuinely special. Olivia helped create a memory we'll always cherish. We'll definitely be back!
