- JJennavipTampa / Central Florida West •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoNever experienced service so superb. One would expect a nice steakhouse to have good service but this was on another level. Staff was everywhere and constantly checking in. Steaks were amazing. My wife had the crab legs and they were spectacular as well. Loved the raw oysters as an appetizer and the corn and gnocchi sides were great.More infoFleming's Steakhouse - Tampa FlagshipPrice: Expensive• Steak• Tampa•4.7

- DDwayneTampa / Central Florida West •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 12, 2024Haven in Tampa exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was inviting and chic, especially in the bar area—it’s beautifully designed and perfect for enjoying a drink. Speaking of drinks, the Berns cappuccino was an absolute highlight, with rich flavors that were perfectly balanced. The Brussels sprouts were phenomenal, easily one of the best dishes of the night. They were so well-prepared, packed with flavor, and left a lasting impression. Our waiter made the evening truly unforgettable, delivering impeccable service with a warm and attentive attitude. They went out of their way to make my wife feel special on her birthday, adding a personal touch that elevated our experience. We’d give our server a 10 out of 5 if we could! Haven is a spot I’d wholeheartedly recommend for any occasion—whether a casual evening out or a special celebration. We can’t wait to return!More infoHavenPrice: Expensive• American• Tampa•4.7
