After walking in, we were a little disappointed with the out dated decor and most of the patrons were dressed a bit on the casual side for a high priced steakhouse, but after being seated, the wait staff was top notch, Alena was our server, she is a pro. Our food was great, very pleased with the ribeye, the best one since leaving Montana, my girl had the Filet, she said it was perfect. Our server Alena treated us with service you would expect in a high end steakhouse. It would be nice if they had a dress code for dinner, felt a little silly wearing a jacket and slacks while most everyone else was dressed for a backyard cookout. read more

Food was wonderful had an exceptional steak the lamb chops were wonderful too and was the service Ralph our waiter could not have done more for us the cosmo was good and the bloody mary with the bacon and olive was right up my dinner companion's alley. and we usually don't drink. read more

this is a great restaurant for date night. Little on the expensive side but definitely worth the treat. The bacon wrapped shrimp is to die for. Things are served in an à la cart style and is absolutely fantastic! read more

We love it. The food and service were outstanding! Karen treated us like royalty and I can't remember when I had a more flavorful steak. Denise raved about her salmon and the dessert was wonderful. This could become a habit! read more

Packard's never disappoints. I have eaten at Packard's several times, the service and the food are consistently excellent. This restaurant is a hidden treasure tucked away in Innisbrook Golf Resort. You don't need a membership to the club to enjoy a delicious meal there. Up side: There are the usual entrees that a steak house would normally serve. But the one thing that really helps set them apart is their Game/Exotic Selection. On one visit I was treated to Elk, on another Deer. Both were cooked to perfection and it was a treat to try something new. They also cater to allergies. I have a severe egg allergy and need to be extremely cautious when dining out. Their knowledgeable staff has been able to help me navigate the menu and have done an excellent job of ensure my safety. Desserts for me are very limited. When you take eggs out of the cooking arsenal of even the best chef it is hard to come up with a tasty dessert. In order to not disappoint me I was given a cup of coffee with a small lazy susan full of chocolate shaving and other treats to make it special. Kudos to them, even Bern's left me with nothing to finish off my meal. Down side: The decor and feel of the restaurant is dated. It almost feels like they designed the look in the 50's and just haven't updated it. This is not to say that the place feels in anyway unclean or unkept. It just feels like you've time warped back to the set of Dirty Dancing. Each time I have been there, usually a Friday or Saturday night, the restaurant is nearly empty. But I think once the secret gets out about how good this restaurant is that it will change. read more

Had a lovely Christmas meal here. The staff was super helpful - they were able to squeeze us in without a reservation. The wait staff was very nice and professional. And the food was all great, and reasonably priced for the quality. Would recommend highly! read more

Wish I could add more stars. Our group of 5 had several different menu choices and each person was extremely satisfied with their selection. My Filet steak was perfectly cooked. Sides, appetizers and desserts were all tasty and well prepared. Mike, our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Will absolutely return! read more

Shoutout to the staff members of Packard's! The service and food was great! Manager Gayle, server Juanita and Debbie were amazing. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary along with my Daughter's 21 st Birthday. I recommend this place to anyone who want's to experience fine dining ambience. read more

Drinks were perfect, & food was fantastic. Big Mike is top notch waiter. Will definitely be back!

I came here with no expectations. Packard ' s is set back behind an iron fence at Innis brook golf club, in Palm Harbor. Yes, it is open to the public, but not everyone knows that it is there. Upon entering I couldn't help notice how outdated the decor was & my expectations sagged, combine that with only a few table....I knew we were in trouble. The restaurant was spotless & service was terrific. We were seated, had coctails & were perusing a menu in 5 minutes. What initially caught my eye was the game & exotic section of the menu, this is something you don't see often locally, so it was a great addition to the menu. We started with bacon wrapped shrimp, that was cooked spot on. For the entrees: venison & a filet, absolutely cooked to perfection. The side salad was fresh & appealing, as were the potatoes. We tried to save room for dessert, maybe next time. This is definitely a hidden gem. A bit pricy, but not when you consider what all you are getting for the price you pay. Privacy at a high end restaurant is priceless. What's a girl to do? Now that Packard ' s is on my radar, I will definately be returning. read more

The meal was very nice. Sirloin and grouper was amazing. You just need to get through the gate, no problem there just tell them where you're going. Don't let the gate stop you from visiting this little gem. They mentioned a summer menu coming which is coming out soon. We'll be back. read more

Trying to get a gift certificate for my daughter who lives in the area. I am in Ft Myers. Called twice, received voice mail, left messages and no one returned my call. Called again today at noon, abruptly was told I would be transferred to someone who could help me. Cut me off. What kind of customer service is this? If someone could call me back I will give this one more (4th) try. 7274580910 read more

I was blessed to attended a wine dinner last night at Packards. It was farm to table with wine from Gallo's new Northern Cali wine. The First course, Florida Tomme cheese with local honey and cayenne pepper was perfect. The wine....eh. 2nd course, FL micro greens, just fabulous. Clean, refreshing. The wine....eh. 3rd course, Alligator Bottarga , nice but a bit too much breading for me. The wine....eh. The Akaushi steak was lovely, cooked perfectly but the kicker was what the steak was laying on. A sweet corn potato hash with Poblano Port reduction. This was a true winner, a stunner. The wine....eh. I'll have to come back to the steakhouse to experience a regular meal and choose my own wine. Looking forward to it. read more

Everything was the absolute best, the server, Debbie, was fantastic, the food excellent and the atmosphere the best. Nice to know that a great steakhouse is in Palm Harbor. read more

I had a really good Delmonico steak here. As well I ate at the breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet was horrible and both the night I had the steak and the morning I had breakfast the service was horrible. I actually had to get up during dinner to ask for someone to get me a drink as well noone would refill my drink. Nearly the same experience at breakfast the waitress came to our table asked two people at the table if the wanted orange juice and ignored me. Had to get up and ask them to bring me OJ. Keep in mind both times I waited patiently for a long time before I got up to ask. read more

I live here at innisbrook resort. Have eaten there several times. We always get the ribeye, great quality cuts have always been the norm.

I am basing my review on a trip to this restaurant for lunch during the Valspar Open. As you can imagine, the place was packed with a crowd excited to watch the PGA tour event, including one Mr. Tiger Woods. Outside on the patio, they had set up a couple drink stations with a handful of snacks to aid the viewers who were focused more on a liquid lunch (which I think helped to somewhat control the crowds at the indoor bar). While we did decide to eat a late lunch at 3 pm, I was pleasantly surprised that we got seated with a minimal wait. The menu wasn't extensive but prices were reasonable for a resort and our food came out quickly. There was nothing special with the mahi sandwich or chicken wrap but it was hot and served quickly, which I was thankful for on a busy afternoon with most of your other options around the course being packed. I can't comment on the dinner menu and assume/hope it is better, but overall I was impressed by the service and organization during a very busy PGA tour event. read more

Fun atmosphere with water view. Dine indoors or out. Delicious food and plenty of it!

Filet is NFG. Seared tuna is NFG. Mashed potatoes are NFG. Overall, this place is NFG. Food has a chemical aftertaste as well as not being cooked right. I ask for a medium rare and I receive a medium well steak. Perfectly goof cut of meat ruined. read more

This is an amazing restaurant!!!!!! The filet is out of this world! Side dishes are amazing!!!!! Excellent desserts!!! It is a bit expensive....... But the cost is on point with the quality of food! Five stars all the way! Service is also amazing!!!!! Go there!!! 5 stars all the way! Really a great place!!!! read more

Food was great. Be sure to ask for Ralph, he was beyond accommodating and anticipated our needs. Best service I have ever had!

Previously we were unimpressed, but the last few visits have been amazing. The service, food, and atmosphere is updated and so much better. The Barrata salad, French onion soup, and t-bone were out of this world. If you have not been recently, you need to try it and ask for Ralph and Teresa! read more

The food is fabulous but take your light sweater or jacket. The temperature is set for the pleasure of the staff and not the customer. I have no complaints what so ever about the food. Have eaten there numerous time and have always had excellent food. read more

Packards did not meet my expectations at all. I left the restaurant still hungry, after spending $40+ on steak.. The steak had no taste, I ordered medium well and it was pink and bloody(my wife ordered a medium steak and it was cooked more than mine). This shouldn't have been a problem.. So I asked the server to take it back which she did with quite the bad attitude. It came back completely blackened on the outside, then I cut it open again and it was just as pink and now burnt. I have frequented some of Florida's best known steak houses such as Morton's steak house, Christinies, Ruths Chris steak house etc. These are top notch steak restaurants! Packards prices are the same so I would expect things to be outstanding. It was the worst waste of time and money, I cannot stress how unpleasant this fine dining experience was. Overall I have had better meals and servers at Denny's! Dine here if you like disappointment and embarrassment in front of your friends or family. Hope this review helped! Go somewhere else if you have the option. read more
