My boyfriend and I decided to stop at this establishment for brunch on our drive back home and are…read moreso happy we did! The workers were extremely welcoming and they even greeted us with a complimentary dry champagne because it was our first visit. Nate our server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The maitre'd Neal checked on us as well and that made us feel even more at home. I ate the eggs benedict and it's a nice twist using jamón ibérico and melt in your mouth biscuit. My boyfriend ate the prime rib that had a dry rub and made specifically only for brunch which he said was divine. We can't wait to come back and checkout what more they have to offer. If you're ever in the Lakeland area definitely be sure to give them a shot!

We finally made it back to Nineteen Sixty-One this weekend after a lot of traveling and some health…read moreissues. We had friends visiting, so we came in for dinner and to celebrate a birthday. We truly could not have had a better experience. Every server was gracious, engaging, and attentive. The food was, as always, delicious and beautifully presented. We enjoyed every minute of our visit and can't wait to come back again. It feels like our Nineteen Sixty-One experience has been fully restored!

When you walk in the woman behind the counter is quite rude, almost bothered that we've walked in…read more No greeting, just a how many. The food is mediocre at best which is such a shame because we love Cuban food and have Cuban family. The Morros weee quite dry as if they were old, the Vaca frita was tough, dry, unseasoned and filled with onions, it comes with onions normally, it was in excess. The beans were ok, but needed to be heated they were not hot. The Tostones and Sweet Plantains were perfect! In the end the best part was the space with TV's to watch the World Cup. I hope that they get better I love Cuban food and love the people. Everyone has an off day so I will give them another try.

Honestly so delicious. From the outside it's hardly noticeable and once you are inside you still…read morewon't expect much. But the flavors that were put on our table were out of this world. I had the ropa vieja and it was delicious. A decent portion that allowed me to share with my daughter who wolfed down her garlic shrimp in record time. The yuca melted in my mouth and was so garlicky. Even the black beans were full of flavor. I truly would have gone back if I was in Tampa for another day, and I will definitely be making a trip back the next time I am in town. I really can't imagine another cuban spot that could be better.

So this has become one of my favorite places in DTSP. Some nights they have a live DJ and they…read morealways bring a vibe. The drinks are always amazing. Usually we catch our now favorite bartender Javon and he makes a mean Lemon Lychee! I also love that they have hookah here. It seems like there aren't many places in the area that have hookah and sometimes I don't feel like driving to Tampa for it. I STILL haven't had a chance to try the food yet, but I've had friends tell me all the time that the food is fire. I'll keep coming back for sure.

So disappointed with Happy hour changes. My favorite Jerk wings are no longer half price nor the…read moreclassic wings, now $12.99. I ordered the Crab and 3 cheese dip with tortilla chips and sent it back because it tasted like a bait bucket. I reordered Spinach dip which was just okay. I also ordered Coconut Shrimp and they were overcooked and barely warm. I asked about their Conch Fritters if you can taste the Conch and server said it's mostly breading. Beer prices $5 for 14 ounce drafts $6 for 20 ounces. Server was terrific but we're not coming back. The Restaurant is selling out anyway and going away as most Bahama Breezes.

I had the Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Sandwich Combo with a side salad. The sandwich was…read moreimpressively huge, so big that I took it out of the bun and ate it without the bun, dipping it in the honey mustard. The chicken was very nice and moist; the skin had a very good crunch. The salad, on the other hand, was not great. The tomatoes were fine, as were the cucumber slices and the seeds(pumpkin,maybe), but the lettuce, not great. Some of it was a little brown on the edges. There was a piece of crunchy garlic toast standing up in the side salad. It was very similar to a piece of melba toast. Nice crunch. Our waiter was very friendly, and checked on whether we were enjoying our lunches, but he did not come by with a water pitcher for refills. Sadly for Bahama Breeze, the restaurant was not busy; I was hoping for a water refill while we sat and chatted after lunch.

I don't know what happened here. Perhaps the owners are out of town. I really hope it didn't change…read moreowners because everything was noticeably different. The ladies working were not familiar at all. They also were not friendly and helpful. I was pretty sad. It did make me feel like the previous owners were gone bc either one were there. I hope they are still around and eventually when I come back, I can update this review. We ordered the Hawaiian hot dog and the arepa with beef and chicken. Something was missing. Also we ordered two empanadas. I like their green chimmichuri sauce with it, and as soon as I asked for it, she walked away and never came back. Even the pic on the outside sign shows them with that sauce, but nope never got it. They also have their usual Colombian drinks which are Postobon and Colombiana. They are more expensive and smaller sizes. We will definitely take a break from here. Hope the owners that we know and love will be there.

The…read morecuisine is authentic Colombian, full of rich flavors and generous portions that truly showcase the heart of Colombia. La Hamburguesa La Carreta is absolutely delicious and big enough for two. It's packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. The Bandeja Paisa is simply out of this world -- a true Colombian classic done right, with every component seasoned and prepared to perfection. On Sundays, they have a live artist performing during brunch, which made the atmosphere even more enjoyable. My wife and I had a great time enjoying the music, food, and vibrant ambiance. If you plan to go on the weekend, I definitely recommend making reservations because it gets busy. We're already looking forward to going back soon! Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Colombian cuisine and a great dining experience.

I traveled nearly two hours based on recommendations, which made this especially disappointing. Management calculated gratuity on the total including taxes and required a minimum 20% tip, despite service not meeting expectations. Even after providing my receipt, they asked me to return in person to resolve a $15-$20 discrepancy instead of assisting by phone. Food was decent overall, but the chuleta kan-kan lacked flavor. Unfortunately, customer service and issue resolution were very poor.
