Tampa Restaurant Guide

Great restaurant with great service and a great wine list. You can't ask for much more in a restaurant! I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great meal.

Great Meal and Service each time I dine. Excellent Value for what you get.

I recently entertained a customer at Charleys Steakhouse at 6107 S. Orange Blossom Trail. There were 8 of us for dinner. After having to wait an hour past the time of our reservation because they seriously overbooked, we were subjected to the most incompetent wine service I have ever experienced. For a restaurant that promotes their extensive wine list, the servers didn't have a clue on what to do with it. During the course of the evening they served us the wrong bottle of wine actually pouring it without showing us the bottle or allowing us to taste it first. They replaced it but never offered to have us taste the successive bottles of wine before pouring them. One proved to be seriously "corked" and tainted the wine that was already in everyone's glass. I did not want to make this a big issue since I was with a customer but if this happened when I was alone they would have gotten an earful.
Fortunately, the food was good and the rest of the service was at least reasonably competent.
However, I will never entertain another customer at their restaurant.

This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. The food is awesome. The servers are very attentive but not intrusive. We had the gator appetizer, filets, and a couple of desserts. The filets came exactly cooked to our liking. Everything was extremely good. I'll come here everytime I am in Tampa.

This is probably the best steak house I have been to. The steak was tender and flavorful, the scallops were tender, the shrimp was perfect. The decadent chocolate cake w/ Hagaan Daaz Vanilla Ice Cream was the perfect ending.

Service has been good with free server entertainment. 4 out of the last 5 meals have been excelent, the 1 bad meal was cheerfully refunded with offer made of FREE replacement meal. Definitely a place of choice for me and my companions.
