Best European Restaurants in Lakewood Ranch

Always a great culinary experience eating at Chanta. Pleasant and friendly staff, excellent service, and, most of all, delicious food. The lamb soecial was tender, tasty, and filling. One of our favorite places to eat in Tampa.

The wait staff is very attentive and well versed on the restaurant menu. Atmosphere was quaint and welcoming. The food was the best Italian that I have had since my grandmothers. Chef came out to make sure we were enjoying our food and introduced themself. Menu changes with the seasons. Will definitely be back.

Dinner was amazing. The Caesar salad was truly the best I have ever had. I ordered shrimp with linguini which was delicious. The pasta was not overcooked but perfectly cooked. Our waitress was excellent. Chef Antonio was very gracious . This establishment is a real winner.

If you like high tea, or if you've never had and want to try it, you owe it to yourself to make a reservation for one of the adorable tea rooms at Elixir and treat yourself. I have lived in the area for nearly 4 years and just found this gem. When I arrived, I was surprised to see the wonderful selection of pastries and finger sandwiches awaiting me, and it was difficult to chose from the large selection of teas - but fortunately, the tea is unlimited so I was able to try quite a variety. They also cater to special dietary requests, and the service was just lovely. This is a must go and I plan to return very soon.

We love this place !! But we would like to see more variety with the entrees - however, we have favorites, so will keep coming back. Ambience is a little lacking - clean but a lot of room for improvement - Service is always excellent - the best anywhere and the food and cocktails are prepared with care and attention to details ! Great wine list as well ;)
