Hawaiian Manhattan
C B.

Very friendly bar tender and the drinks were really good. Service was fantastic! Steak was WAY overpriced for the lack of flavor. Ordered it Oscar style and it tasted more like overcooked crab with a mayonnaise sauce. Cute restaurant but the lighting at the bar was so dim we had to use our food flashlights to read the menu.

One of the best steakhouses I've been to. The place smells amazing and we were treated to impeccable service. The roasted cauliflower was surprisingly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Steak was cooked perfectly. The meal comes with complimentary bread and salad. Sides are al la cart. I love how they bring out the steaks for the presentation so you can see them before you order and ask questions. We enjoyed a bottle of wine and the Hawaiian cosmo. Be ware the martini was very strong and the bring out the shaker and pour it full to the brim so although it's an expensive drink, it is worth it. We loved our meal but it is a place I only go on special occasions because it is quite pricy.

We had not been to Charley's in a while so we decided to go this past weekend to celebrate my birthday. The service was friendly and the manager came by multiple times to check on us and even brought some free meatballs to try before our meal. We both ordered filets along with broccolini and au gratin potatoes as our sides. The house salad was good as I've always enjoyed the pieces of olive in the dressing. The filets were a bit disappointing as they didn't have the smokey flavor that they historically have had in the past. It was also topped with butter, which was something new to us. The meat was tender but the flavor was a bit lacking. The broccolini was good with cloves of garlic baked into the dish. The highlight was the au gratin potatoes as they were covered with corn flakes for some crispy texture and were delicious. The staff was kind enough to bring a dish of ice cream for my birthday as well which was a nice touch. Overall we enjoyed ourselves as the service was excellent but the steak was disappointing. We will try again when they move into their new location near the International Mall.

Charley's is our yearly anniversary spot since my husband and I came here for one of our very first dates before getting married! The food is 10/10. My husband and I always get the filet and share some family style sides. I love a good craft cocktail and they have some great and very well made drinks here. The service is exactly what you would expect for fine dining and the environment is great for a celebration, date night, or work event! We will see you in December!

Stayed at four seasons and this place is right next door, even gave me a coupon for free app. Walk in and the ambiance is classy but not pretentious, a warm Morton's kind of feel. The bar was awesome, great service, real recommendations and easy going. They made a great old fashion made from their own barrel of redemption. Off the recommendation, I started with the escargot, and ordered the wagyu filet. Decided to treat myself. The snails were great. Light but loaded with garlic, butter and just tasty. The bread and salad also, great! The wagyu filet was cut and cooked to order.. perfect. So good. Then ... yup, desert. Their favorite butter cake. So good. Wow! I didn't know I was waiting for that meal!! Fantastic Have to say the service was great and as good as the food was the service is what capped off this 5 star experience. Next time in Tampa, give it a try!!!

Second time at Charley's, same occasion, two years apart and overall, a very similar experience. The food was sensational. My steak was cooked to perfection, but I didn't enjoy the sides as much this time around. The cheese bread was new to me (don't remember having it last visit) and unfortunately, it wasn't my favorite. That said, the Cherry Whiskey Sour cocktail was a solid 10/10. Pro tip always get the butter cake. No exceptions.

Listen, this is the place to be on a Friday! This spot was recommended to us while we were in town celebrating my nephew's 30th birthday, and from start to finish, we had a great time. The presentation and service were on point. We started with the lobster and our only regret of the night. It was $125 and unfortunately overcooked, so I wouldn't recommend it. Everything else, though, was amazing! The drinks were superb (I had two and was feeling it and I'm not a lightweight!). The steaks were perfectly seasoned, and the sides were delicious too. Overall, it was a great experience, and when I'm back in Tampa, I'll definitely be returning to Charley's

The personalization that Charley's showed me and my friends for our birthday, was unmatched! To start, Paul the manager was so sweet and made sure to check in on us throughout the night. We had an amazing server, Kelli (Hope I spelt that right!) who went over all our options, and was very attentive the entire time. Now, the food! I had the Pork Chop and it was seasoned perfectly! It was a thick, tender cut of Chop. I forgot pictures of our sides but the garlic mash was amazing! The lighting in the restaurant and overall ambiance was welcoming also. Please check them out, you will not be disappointed. Once again, thank you to Charley's for an amazing experience!

Came in here for a special occasion with my BF's family and we were treated very well. Our waitress was very attentive and the vibe of the restaurant itself feels almost like a smoking room. I don't go to steakhouses often so its always a unique experience for me. The food was very delicious, and we practically had to be rolled out by the end of the night we were so stuffed. I believe I got the filet mignon with béarnaise sauce and we split a few sides. We got some desserts to share too and I honestly could have maybe skipped that since I was so full lol. I would definitely return to Charley's, I just plan to be more mindful of my portion intake :D

Ribeye filet with mushrooms and asparagus
Richard M.

Outstanding from beginning to end. We were quickly seated upon arrival for our reservation. Drinks were expertly prepared and served quickly. Beautiful venue with steaks cooked on an open fire pit for all to see. Our server Rob and his team took wonderful care of us and explained all the cuts of meat available. The manager Paul stopped by our table a few times to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. He also brought us an amuse; meatballs made from the scraps of meat leftover when cutting steaks in a fantastic Marsala sauce. Excellent!!

Butter cake
Kevin N.

Phenomenal service from our waiter James. We ordered the 21 day aged bone in ribeye "with truffle butter"which was cooked to our liking and tasted amazing. We also added the Parmesan cheese crusted cauliflower that our waiter recommended and we're glad he did. To end the night we had the best dessert imaginable, the butter cake with ice cream.

The BEST server at the BEST steak joint in Tampa!
James B.

Excellent service and the food????...Amazing! Ask for Kelli and ask for bison and lobster combo!

lobster mac n cheese
Sylvia C.

I'm from out of town and this steakhouse was a surprise for me. The outside of the establishment felt like thr inside would be similar but the inside was actually quite nice with dim lighting to set the mood. I would say this is a nice date night spot. Our server was nice as far as the bare minumum requirement for this establishment. But he wasn't the worst either. They have a Colossal Lobster they serve here and I believe it's about 24oz which is significantly bigger than the normal 17oz. This was our appetizer and we got it broiled because we didn't want frying the lobster to take away from the flavor which was the best decision. We got the Porterhouse steak to share along with lobster mac n cheese (The steak came with a house sala + cheese garlic bread) & honestly this all SO MUCH FOOD. The food did not fall short of our expectations and honestly the steak needed no extra flavors because it was so perfectly season and tender. We got the steak medium and I would definitely suggest it this way. ( If you are a well done steak person, please do not come here as it will be alot of money and it feels like a waste to cook a perfectly good steak well done - just my opnion) The cost is on the higher end but it is a nice splurge for a date night just once in a while.

I registered last week on your website, but never got an email for my birthday?

Mine was in my promotions tab, sent from talk of the town.

It it permissible for me to bring a special bottle of wine (that is not on your wine list) with an appropriate corkage fee?

Yes Tim our corkage fee is $25 a bottle with a 2 bottle maximum

Does Charley's offer a Happy Hour menu?

No. But after you eat there, you wouldn't want the menu to change anyway. Enjoy!

Do they offer a kid's menu?

Yes, I believe so. We took our two toddler granddaughters. They enjoyed grilled hotdogs, while we ate steaks.

Charley's have a new policy, where they put a party of 10 or more on one bill and they only split it between 4 cards?

Angela yes our policy is any group of 6 or more will be on one check but we can take up to 4 credit cards towards the bill.

Is it frowned upon to buy a larger 28oz steak to split between two people? Or in other words will they upcharge you for doing this?

Emma we have plenty of guest that split our larger steaks. It is not a problem we look forward to you coming in.

I signed up for the vip club and my Birthday is today, how do I get the free filet? I have not received anything from them yet.

Lisa if you could give me your email information I can look into it. Please send it to pherranz@tottrg.com

Does Charley's do anything special on your actual Birthday? Free meal, dessert, appetizers etc?

We belong to their club (forget the name), We get a free filet. Great deal and as always a wonderful experience.

Delicious food with a lively atmosphere and welcoming staff - what more could you ask for?…read more I visited Oak and Ola for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Rather than trying to search for parking, we just paid $20 for the lot right nearby and it worked out great for us. We had a large group and our waiter, Zachary, was amazing. He had plenty of recommendations, anecdotes, stories, and jokes to keep everyone happy and full. He was definitely a highlight for all of us. We had a variety of drinks, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Sacred Empress and was so impressed with the balance of flavors - mostly sweet with a slight punch from the serrano cilantro simple syrup. It sounds funky but trust me on this! We also split a bottle of the Lagar De Costa Albariño, at the recommendation of our waiter, and we all loved it. For food, we started with the Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Frites, Crispy Pork Belly Bites, Crunch Love Caesar Salad, and Olives. All were devoured and I think the crowd favorites were the Lobster Ravioli (though expensive, $26 for 3) and the Pork Belly Bites. For mains, most people tended to get either the Steak Frites or the Gulf Fish Amandine (which was snapper). My steak and another at the table were both way overcooked on the first go around but they very quickly remade them (and the fries) and got them back to us in 5 minutes, perfectly cooked. It was a delicious and filling dish. The Gulf Fish Amandine was also really tasty, but it felt like it was missing something like a starch. It's a very simple and classic dish. The Pork Chop was also well loved amongst the table and many people wished they got it after trying a bite! For dessert, you absolutely have to get the Toffee Cake - it was everyone's favorite dessert. Super soft, warm, and comforting, plus that vanilla ice cream just took it to another level. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse, and the free birthday dessert they kindly brought out for us. Overall, the restaurant is fun and lively, with an eclectic feel in the mismatched dining sets and decor. I really loved how it felt. It's definitely a nicer spot for a date or celebration, but worth it!

Ok, I'll start with the Roast Beef Sammy-Thick Cold Bread, not room temp, not toasted, but thick cold bread (of which I ate about 1/4 of it. Now the Roast Beef, cold (not a problem) but sliced just too thick so when I took a bite, I could not chew through it and the entire slab of slices pulled out of the sandwich and gave me a 'Chin Slap'! The Au Jus was spectacular! Literally French Onion Soup without the crouton or cheese. Overall, NOT a sandwich worth $18. The other meal was their'Avocado Shrimp Toast', ANOTHER HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, ESPECIALLY for $18!! 2 small pieces of cold toasted bread, a THIN layer of avocado and ONE SHRIMP CUT IN 1/2 on each slice of bread.

Unfortunately, my experience fell far short of those expectations. I ordered the 18-ounce Dry Aged Bone-In Ribeye, priced at approximately $100, expecting a high-quality cut worthy of the restaurant's reputation. Instead, the steak was overwhelmingly fatty, with what appeared to be roughly 75% of the cut consisting of fat, gristle, and inedible portions. After removing the unusable sections, there was very little actual meat left to enjoy. When I raised my concerns, the response was disappointing. The server simply stated that he would "let the chef know." The only accommodation offered was a complimentary salad valued at approximately $15. Considering the quality issue with a $100 entrée, this response felt inadequate and failed to demonstrate any meaningful commitment to guest satisfaction. By the end of the meal, our bill approached $300, yet I left still hungry and feeling that I had received very poor value for the money spent. When dining at a restaurant that markets itself as a destination for exceptional steaks, customers should reasonably expect both quality ingredients and responsive service when something goes wrong. Unfortunately, neither expectation was met during my visit. While the atmosphere and setting may be appealing, the overall experience did not justify the cost. I will not be returning, and I will be sharing my experience with friends, family, and others who ask for steakhouse recommendations. I sincerely hope management takes guest concerns more seriously in the future and ensures that premium-priced menu items consistently meet the standards they advertise.

We were seated at a super small table so it made for an uncomfortable situation with so little real estate available. Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me.

Our server in training came by and dropped off paper Christmas menus and brought us water. Then we waited and waited and finally our sever arrived. We asked for the menu and she said the only thing they had was this special Christmas menu, which was basically all appetizers. This is NOT what we planned when making reservations weeks ago. So disappointing! We ended up leaving and having dinner elsewhere.

Olivia's in Tampa delivered an excellent dining experience, from the beautifully designed interior…read moreto the attentive service and, most importantly, the food. The decor is sophisticated without feeling pretentious, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The service was polished, attentive, and well-paced, allowing us to enjoy the evening without feeling rushed. It's lively- too loud for a first date. The highlight of the meal was the tableside chicken Parmesan, which we tried with both vodka sauce and traditional marinara. Both preparations were excellent, and the tableside presentation was a nice touch. It's refreshing to see a restaurant put this much effort into both the food and the dining experience. The only minor criticism was the lasagna, which was slightly oversalted. A little more restraint with the seasoning would have made it a much better dish. As someone who appreciates good Italian cooking, I particularly enjoyed the attention to presentation and the opportunity to experience two different preparations of a classic dish. Olivia's gets a lot of things right. Beautiful surroundings, professional service, and well-executed food made for a memorable evening. Definitely a restaurant I would return to. Lots of gf options
