When it did arrive, everything was undercooked and/or cold. Everything was blamed on someone else (kitchen) when it was quite clear that she forgot to put our dinner orders in after our apps came out. This set the tone for the rest of what was supposed to be a fun night out with friends.

One complaint: each table features a card advertising happy hour. Although we were there during happy hour, drinks are not available at the happy hour price. Our waiter was as confused about that as we were. He said the cards had been there quite some time. Misleading if not downright deceitful. I love this place too much to make a fuss, but I felt like my loyalty had been betrayed.

I started with crab dip as a starter preceded by a fresh salad that had a refreshing vinegrette with parmesan at the bottom ( so good!!) Then came the seabass.... OMFG !! Prepared flawlessly accompanied with double veggies due to me refusing the potato mash (cuz im watching my carb intake) and washed down with a mojito. Every bite was fulfilling. And I will definitely come back!! (Visiting from Oakland, California)

Overpriced and not that good of quality. The snapper fish?…read moreIt was fried and in chunks.. that isn't gourmet. The plantains were hard. The pollo vija (chicken and rice) was just a bowl of rice with a burn chicken leg on top then some chunks of fatty chicken throughout. Disappointing and not much flavor. The Yuca fries were flavorless and greasy. We spent over $100 here. Never again. If you want delicious and authentic, and a little cheaper? Go to the historical COLUMBIA restaurant in Tampa area. It's beautiful and the cuisine is authentic as well as flavorful, and they give warm comforting piece of Cuban bread before the meal with fresh butter. Thank me later.

Food and ambiance here are usually very good. Before I…read morewrite the rest of this bear in mind I am a big city person so I have a slightly different view in regards to reservations. I arrived for my reservation and was told that I would have to wait between 30-45 minutes because people were staying longer and they'd taken a few walk ins. One if you know you have multiple reservations don't take walk ins... there were a few parties behind me with the same issue. Two there is no where covered to wait for a table (inside is too small; outside has 0 protection from the elements). You have one of the nicest restaurants in Lakeland; however there is no excuse for treating customers this way. I have been here several times and my close friends in Lakeland have been coming for years. Do better.

I was meeting a friend for lunch in Lakeland FL so I looked for a highly recommended option. Cob &…read morePen came up on a number of lists. It's located in a nondescript building that's basically one large dining room with a bar in the back. Since we got there at the top of the lunch hour, it was not busy so we were served very quickly. The menu had lots of interesting options - I went with the Beer Braised Pork Street Tacos and could not have been more pleased with my choice. They are made with shaved pieces of pork topped with lettuce, Muenster cheese, honey mustard, and pickles. The taste of all that together is excellent. If you are in the area, this is an excellent choice for a good lunch!

The cheeseboard includes meat and cheddar, Kalamata olives, naan bread, pickles, Brie cheese, a mustard sauce and a raspberry spread. The grapes on the board were super fresh and also tasted great.

Explained everything since it was our first time there, drinks were really good, we ordered Ribeye which was really food. Ropa vieja sushi was delicious. Ordered almost every single appetizer,lol, they were all really delicious, the only ones I was not crazy about was the ceviche one, (a little blend) and the chorizo one. But everything else was in point! Love the ambiance, it was really cozy and welcoming! Highly recommend this place, so glad we found it and tried it for ourselves!

This newer speakeasy in Lakeland needs a lot more love!!…read more I had heard about Lan Gran Muralla opening through a coworker and finally tried it out recently, and was thoroughly impressed. We made a reservation but went on a Thursday night and it wasn't real busy- but if you go say on a Friday or Saturday night I can imagine it gets full so I'd try to reserve just in case. You could come here for a full and delicious meal or just drinks. It's definitely a little pricey but the food was fantastic so I was more willing to pay. If you go, you MUST try the duck wings. That's right, DUCK wings, not chicken wings. Just absolutely so good and I have been daydreaming about them ever since. I will go back sincerely just for those, though I enjoyed everything we got here. It's kind of Korean-fusion inspired food, so they had sushi as well as other main entrees. I went for the sushi and was really happy with it- and the rolls were massive so you definitely got your money's worth. We of course also came to try the drinks. My friend and I were really disappointed when we ordered the "Pufferfish" drink as we had heard it's served in a literal pufferfish glass, and it just came in a regular glass. Not sure if they stopped doing that or what but it was part of the reason we went, we had heard they serve some of the drinks in pretty fun fashion. And considering that drink in specific cost $20 it was extra disappointing. But overall it's a fun atmosphere in here but the music may be a little too loud. Between that and the dark setting it felt almost closer to a club vibe then a mysterious speak easy. But i'll definitely still come back, to have the duck wings again and try more of the drink menu.

My wife and I had Poke bowls from Zukku and it was great! Fresh ingrediants, simple way to order, and the vibe is extremely chill. Fun place for the entire family, my only complaint is the parking. Other than that everything was good and we enjoyed the experience.

This is a great location in an old federal building. Nice decor for this Smiths American Tavern…read more The bartender met us at the door, due to it being the middle of the day, and business being a bit slower, and we opted to sit at the bar. He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

If you are in the Lakeland area and you are hungry then this should be your first choice. We had "Sean" as our server and he was beyond outstanding. He was very attentive and very friendly and he took time to inform us about the specials, most popular items and was able to make suggestions based on our wants. We started with a dozen grilled oysters, half cajun butter and half garlic butter. They were very delicious. They were tasty, fresh and a nice size. My wife went with the grilled wild caught salmon which was described as the wagyu of the sea. And she said it was the best salmon she has ever had. I went with the pick two combo which included catfish, shrimp and cod. And I know that's three but instead of two pieces of catfish, I got one and two piece pieces of cod. My sides were hush puppies and red beans and rice. Let me tell you first of all it was a lot of food, everything was absolutely delicious. But the red beans and rice were amazing, plenty of flavor. And the sweet tea was excellent. We were to full from dessert but we will try some next time. We also met a manager and the owner and they were both very personable and friendly. They both acted like regular people and they both made us feel welcomed. Lastly we sat outside because we had our service animals with us and they also took very good care of them. They provided cold bowls of water and we order a chicken breast for them. Which they cut up in small pieces and provided them with to go bowls for them to eat out of. We live in Tampa which is about 1 hour away but our experience here was worth the drive. It is in a nice area with shops and stores. Definitely try this business if your in the area

Service was friendly and good. Southern charm feeling. We ordered 3 meals. Sea Bass, Redfish and Pick 2 with fish and shrimp. I had the redfish blackened and it was super flavorful with a kick. The crawfish sauce was excellent with 2 big shrimp on top. Everything was cooked well. The green beans on the side were nice and fresh. Rice was great to get that extra sauce. Wife had the Seabass and it was delicious as well. Great portion with a very tasty chimichurri sauce. I will try that next time as it was a hit. Green beans and potatoes on the side. Kid had the pick 2 and it was also very good. I actually liked the coleslaw. It was not mayo based and had a great taste. I ate it all! To start we had the fried pickles. Huge portion. Pickles were a nice thin slice with a seasoned coating. One of the better fried pickles we have had. Fighting for that last piece. Convenient location in an outdoor mall. Plenty of parking and can take a stroll after eating. Highly recommend this place!
