We are visiting the area, and we were looking for a casual place for some good seafood. A quick search led me here, and I'm so glad it did!! It's such a cute little place, the service was great, our food came out fast and everything was wonderful!! My husband had the catfish bites, and he said they were really good. I had the create your own seafood boil-1/2lb.- Shrimp (no head)- garlic butter - medium heat - with corn added, and it was delicious!! The flavor and amount of heat were perfect! We hope to make it back again before we leave the area!!

Our first visit won’t be our last! We ordered calamari, lobster bisque, salad and the basic boil. All were excellent and more than enough food for 2 of us. The salad was huge, big portion of soup and the boil was a lot of food. This rivals our favorite seafood boil spot on Tybee Island.

Super chill place for seafood. It's Boston style food, in Tampa, playing reggae. It works. We started with the hush puppies which were big. Order of 8 was perfect for the 4 of us. It comes with honey if you want sweet, or some other type of savory sauce. Very good, not greasy. Food was good. Portions are hearty and the quality of the fresh stuff is great. I had the grouper fish tacos. So much grouper in them. Also had the cold lobster roll and it was pretty packed with meat. Kids got fish n chips and chicken tenders. Both were fine for them lots of fries for sides, and they are those good fries that don't get soggy and maintain a bit of a bite throughout the meal. Kids meals came with an ice cream cup, and they lived that. Place is quaint, on the water, reasonably priced for seafood, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend.

We visit ballast point often and finally tried this place out, it’s been a must at each visit since. Their fish and chips are mine and my husbands favorite and each one of their soups are equally delicious! We just recently tried their ice which did not disappoint!! There’s free parking and designated restaurant parking, great views of Tampa, and a nice dock to walk down before or after your meal. We can’t wait to come back!

Been to Hong Kong Restaurant a few times. It’s pretty great all around. Everyone in the area said the Chinese food around here is bad, but I enjoyed it. Comparable to the spots I frequented back in New York. The food has been consistently fresh and tasty. Today was the first time getting fried rice. It was a little plain. But everything I’ve had so far has been great.

I've been getting the same order of singapore mei fun and fried dumpling's for a while. Always fresh and delicious. All workers have a good vibe.

Miso soup is a bit water down and lack of tofu/seaweed. The hamachi carpaccio is delicious. The sauce isn’t too sour or overwhelming. The fish is thickly cut and not fishy at all. The tonkotsu ramen is alright. The soup needs some more pork flavoring. The ramen consistency is good and soft. The pork chasu is tender, chewy, and crispy, but a little dry. The egg with the tonkotsu is perfectly soft in the middle and melts in your mouth. For sushi, we ordered salmon/ yellowtail/ scallops nigiri and lemon/ raw-volution/ Tokyo roll. The nigiri fishes aren’t fishy and the pieces for thickly cut. Our favorite roll is Tokyo roll, which is crunchy on the outside and flavorful eel sauce really brings out the tuna and cream cheese. Overall, the sushi is good, but the rice is a bit old and on the drier side. Sage Sushi Lounge has alright food, but the decoration is very cute. The price is a bit high, but the thick cut fish is worth it. The best sushi place I have so far around Apollo Beach/Ruskin area. IG: BEEFYFOODIE

Sage has always been a pleasant experience every time I've visited. I like all the options and the food is always fresh and delicious and the staff are very friendly. It'd be nice to hear some music, like Asian inspired lo-fi or something in the restaurant because it's usually so quiet but other that I love this place.

The waitress Diane with the blonde hair did not provide good service. We had to go to the bar to get more drinks and on top of that they charge us $30 tip even though she didn't gave service at all Also my husband steak was not cooked at all. I asked for her name right in front on the owner. So this just happened. And if you want i can load the receipt. We spend over 200 on food today and she was HORRIBLE!!!!@ We did not request expedite service. We arrived there and the previous waitress was very polite. She had us sitting inside and told us that ones a table was available she will move us outside. We place the order inside. Then we were move outside. We asked for some appetizer prior our meal and one of them didn't arrived after waiting close to and hour so I asked about it and said if the appetizer was coming with the food I didn't want it. And guess was it cam with the food. She NEVER CAME BLACK to see how our food was or if we needed more beverages ones again she was awful and she was not worth $30 ************************** As a business owner you really need to have you employee taken responsibility for their actions. The biggest issue was the waitress, we didn't complain about the bill we are complaining about the service we didn't have. A waitress that didn't do anything except taking our orders and never checked on us. Obviously she is not a very good server because every bad review about service is because of her. So unfortunately we will not be coming back. I usually tip 20% but giving a tip to a rude person that didn't NOT SERV US is outrageous. No idea why this individual is a waitress because everyone has problems with her!!!!!

I tried the Dubai chocolate Strawberry cup and I honestly didn’t like it. The chocolate sauce tasted poor quality, I was really looking forward to pistachio flavor sauce but it didn’t taste like real pistachio at all. Also they do not put the pistachio crumbs like the picture. So just $15 for a cup of strawberries and chocolate sauce with crispy dough on it.

STAY AWAY… I can honestly say it was by far the worst Chinese I’ve ever had, it was worse than a buffet. Chicken and broccoli is pretty easy, but they managed to mess even that up. Chicken didn’t look cooked and for sure it wasn’t seasoned/flavored. Pics for proof!

They are so sweet here! The provide beyond excellent customer service!! I am so grateful to have had this experience! The food is amazing!!! And check out these cute cup carriers!!!

Service was so slow. We waited almost an hour for a table and 45 minutes for food (including 20 mins from sitting down waiting for our waitress to even take our drink order). The sushi is good but still overpriced. Bao buns were lacking filling and overpriced for the amount of food you get. Entrees were okay but nothing special. The table split was weird so I couldn’t even hear my party and the music was blaring.

Happy New Year! Rock N Raw Sushi 🍣 This place is Epic! Food is served in Minutes. Their Fish used is imported fresh from Japan. This is the Real Way of Making Sushi. Ask for Thomas. AKA "Take Care of You Thomas" He is one of the Managers and one of the most knowledgeable person I have ever meet in the Food &; Restaurant Business. Thomas will definitely take care of you. He is a delight to talk with. Tell him El Tigre's Taste Buds sent you! #followtheflavor🔥

I love this spot!!! It’s right down the street from our house we often dine in. I love the atmosphere how cool is it to eat sushi, drink sake and have anime in the background!!!! The food is always fresh tonight we got delivery and they hit the mark again!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🍣 🍱 *Only thing our delivery didn’t come with chopsticks🙃*

I rarely write reviews, but this sushi place truly deserves a five - star rating! The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. And The service at this restaurant is truly outstanding. The servers are extremely knowledgeable about the menu and are more than happy to offer recommendations. I highly recommend this sushi restaurant to anyone who loves Japanese cuisine. It's definitely worth every penny, and I can't wait to come back!

We found this place all the way from Virginia, and it is a gem. The food was great and flavourful; truly Puerto Rican cuisine. The owner was amazing, and made us feel like home. The service was great and very friendly. I totally recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

My girl went here to get us food and the menu is what brought us here. Our order was not only messed up but our "salad" was shredded lettuce and about a tomato slice cut in half. We voiced our concerns to this establishment but they proceeded to belittle us and the fact that their "salad" was made right. For the amount of money that was paid we got mediocre food at best, paired along with terrible customer service and a terrible attitude. Truly do believe most of these top ratings have to be family and friends as we didn't get the great experiences that apparently everyone else got. 0/5 Stars

Hush puppies were delicious!!! I don’t eat animals so I didn’t get to experience their seafood but my wife said her scallops were very good! The fried pickles and onion rings were great too! I also enjoyed the Key Lime Pie. We got our food to go and it was ready very quickly.

Nice place to get some fried seafood! The service was a little slow but the waitress was hoppin! Fish was delicious but a little to salty. Hope to give it another visit before we leave Florida!

Fantastic late evening meal. The steak was a generous portion. Pot roast, meatloaf, Mac n cheese, there were so many home cooked choice along with a taco bar! Desserts were fantastic, especially the carrot cake

I always attend the military appreciation dinner and this location is always very friendly and does a great job, even with so many people attending. I'm on a semi- strict carnivore diet and they still had plenty of options. Good steak!

We've been regular customers of Kobe Japanese Steakhouse in Brandon for the past 11 years, consistently enjoying the experience. It used to be our go-to spot for our kids' birthdays because the hibachi show was always super entertaining for them. We hadn't been there in a while and decided to return tonight, and it was nice to see that the restaurant has remodeled a bit and expanded from 18 to 22 Teppanyaki tables. The food and service continue to deserve 4 stars. The chefs are always kind, accommodating, and generous - not just with portions but also with refills of their signature sauces, like the Yum Yum sauce and Ginger sauce. Their salad dressing is especially good, and my son always looks forward to their strawberry smoothies, served with a pineapple slice on the side. The reason I can't quite give five stars is because they cook with vegetable oil, which isn't the healthiest option. That said, I do appreciate that they switched from margarine to regular butter about two years ago-a definite improvement. The food itself is pretty good but undeniably heavy, so it's best to come with a hearty appetite. Another small recommendation would be to make the sushi rolls a bit smaller. While the flavor is great, the rolls are so large that it's hard to enjoy them in one bite, and cutting them in half/biting them often causes them to fall apart. Overall, the food remains consistently good, and the restaurant is always bustling - a clear sign that it's a local favorite.

My family went to this Brandon location to celebrate my 2 nephews birthdays. It was a first time for them. Our server was Winnie and our chef was Bruce. Let me tell you them 2 working as a pair is what made our night. Both of them so engaging and know how to keep the table engaged the whole time.. I didn't hear other tables laughing like ours. We will go back to this location just to have Bruce and Winnie.
