    Caesar Salad
    Remi W.

    We had an excellent experience here! We came in on a Tuesday around 8:00 PM. We had a reservation, but they were still setting up the table so the hostess offered us a drink while we waited. We ordered two espresso martinis but ended up waiting less than 2 minutes. The espresso martinis were great! The place was busy, but not too loud that couldn't hear people at your own table. We had the mozzarella as an appetizer and it was amazing! The marinara on top was great. For our entrees we had shared a Caesar, I had a side of pasta, we shared a side of Mac and cheese, and my fiance had the 8 ounce filet. Everything was incredibly delicious! Everything I ordered I would order again! Would deifntely come back and would definitely recommend.

    I love this place. It's a Tampa staple and the quality has continued to be high throughout the years. They have great happy hour specials at the bar area but I'd recommend that you make a reservation. They also have a beautiful dining room. We had the filet tips and the tuna app. Both were excellent. I try to come here when I go to a show at the Straz because it's within walking distance of the Straz.

    The shrimp appetizer was delicious. We split the prime rib which was average. The bread was delicious.

    They have a great lunch special and crème brûlée! Servers care and don't miss a beat - kept our waters full throughout the meal.

    This place is hard to find, but once you find it, it will remind you of a New York bar/restaurant. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation so we went to the bar for a drink. The bar is very nice, but the tables and stools are so close together it's not comfortable. We waited awhile for service but finally got the bartenders attention. I ordered a lemon drop martini. In watching her make it, I noticed she used a straw to "fish" something out of the drink. She still served it to me. It wasn't a lemon drop. There was so much triple sec it tasted like orange. Grrrrrr....$16 and not what I wanted. We went to our table and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Again, the tables are tight. People right behind me were up against my chair. Not sure I understand, because the place is big and doesn't need to be jammed. The menu has a nice variety of entrees. Our server, Sage, couldn't have been any better. I settled on the French onion soup and the crab cake entree and shared mashed potatoes with my husband. While waiting for our soup, we were served nice, hot crunchy bread. It was so good, we all devoured the first loaf quickly. My soup arrived nice and hot and looked delicious. It was delicious! It may be the best French onion soup I have ever had. We waited longer than expected for our entrees. My crab cakes arrived barely warm, as did my husband's lamb chops. Our friends had pasta and filet and theirs was hot, so I am guessing ours sat while they prepared their food. Again, grrrrr. Our mashed potatoes were cool, so she brought us a new batch and this batch was barely warm. I just don't get it. The crab cakes were very good. Overall, service was super, food was great, and they even took the mashed potatoes off our bill. It would be worth another try.

    Malio's is the perfect spot to kick off your night before a show at the Straz Center-just a quick 9-minute walk away. Even better, they're a Channel District-approved restaurant, meaning you can order a bottle of wine and bring your leftover wine with you to the Straz in one of their to-go cups. The service was truly out of this world. Our waiter, Daniel (with the braids!), made the entire evening a 5-star experience. He was incredibly attentive and even asked upfront if we had a show to catch so he could perfectly time our meal -and he nailed it. We ordered the Wagyu Tomahawk, which was absolutely delicious -close to one of the best steaks I've had in Tampa. We capped the night off with their adult milkshake to enjoy on our walk to the Straz, which was such a fun touch. Bonus points for offering valet parking-a major plus in the Channelside area. Malio's is definitely our new go-to pre-theater spot!

    We made reservations for our Anniversary dinner before we attended a play at the straz center. Beautiful interior, 5 star service, excellent food! We enjoyed the French 75 cocktail and the sidecar martini; Both are amazing! We both ordered the surf and turf special of Filet and lobster and loved it. Mac and cheese and jalapeno corn were our sides and good. However I am here to tell you to order the Burrata! We LOVE burrata and this is the BEST we have ever had anywhere including Italy. I highly recommend it!! So flavorful with the white balsamic vinegar and tomatoes.

    A fantastic steakhouse right near the beach! All of the food was delicious and our server Nicole did an excellent job making sure we had everything we need. The decor inside is beautiful, modern, and elegant. My only complaint was it was a little on the noisier side, but the restaurant was packed on a Saturday night. It wasn't a problem for our small party but would be a challenge with a large group. Highly recommend this as a stop for a nice evening out!

    We were in the mood for a steak and made a stop here. It is inside an office building. I would call the vibe and decor high-end casual. The filet mignon was tender and delicious. The drinks and side were good too. Service was a little slow but that's a nit.

    Here's another review from our last visit to Tampa. We came here for dinner with our business friends. It's a beautiful steakhouse located in a building. Hubby and I shared a seafood pasta and NY strip. The pasta was excellent, and the steak was tasty. I thought the seafood pasta was the best of the night. Our friends had filet mignon and wedge salad. They said the filet mignon was excellent. Lila was our waitress. Since she knew about Hubby's and our friend's birthdays, they brought us two plates of desserts for the boys. That was awesome! More sweets! I didn't get to explore the entire restaurant, but from the entrance to the table, I saw that the place looked fantastic! Excellent food and service! We hope they survived the recent hurricane so we can revisit next time.

    Had a double date birthday celebration dinner, and it was nice. Staff was very friendly and provided great selections on drinks and food. Crab cakes were great! Crab post - Yankee style. Kinda spicy but good. Steak cooked perfectly but was fatty. Will come back with the girls for dinner.

    Pasta was delicious. Waiter put his "special sauce" on top. He also said I was cute. I'm not going home alone tonight

    The steak was cooked medium well. The rack of lamb was cooked to tender perfection. The spinach was salted, the broccoli steamed and the Mac & cheese was heavenly. The waitress was attentive and the service was on point! The dimly light steakhouse was a great place for conversation and camaraderie! Prices are based on location, location, location.

I reached out while planning a proposal to my now fiancée at the nearby park, hoping to arrange a small photo shoot area with champagne before dinner. After one quick email, the General Manager personally called me and spent time talking through ideas and helping make the evening special. Even with that conversation, I was completely unprepared for just how extraordinary they made everything. When we arrived, we followed a trail of rose petals to a beautifully decorated private table waiting for us with flowers, a handwritten card, champagne, and glasses already set. It honestly felt like something out of a movie. The attention to detail and genuine care from the entire team was unbelievable. The manager working that evening and our server were both absolutely wonderful -- warm, attentive, and sincerely excited for us. And on top of all of that, the food was phenomenal as always. I'm still in awe of how special Ulele made the night feel. I truly cannot imagine a better place to have proposed. This restaurant will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we'll definitely be back for many anniversaries and celebrations to come. Highly, highly recommend.

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.
