Bad experience for Valentine's day. Attempted to try new restaurant but wasn't able to eat here. Had reservations at 815pm unfortunately there was NO FOOD when we arrived. Guests waiting over an hour for food truck to arrive. No hostess to even tell us. Waited at hostess stand before another angry guest informed us as we're waiting in line for hostess.

The restaurant was not prepared for the reservations they had accepted. The staff was very overwhelmed since they were understaffed. Waited at least 20 minutes before someone acknowledged the people in line. We decided to just go to the bar to wait for a table which we were never called to get a table. Ended up eating at the bar. Not much of a romantic dinner at a bar and we still waited for an hour for our meal. And $15 to park. Unimpressed.

The service was absolutely terrible. The hostess was saying it was going to take 20-30 minutes for reservations to be sat which is absurd. This makes sense after the amount of time it took for the food to get to the table. They obviously shouldn’t have taken that many walk-ins or reservations because the kitchen couldn’t handle it. We eventually got sat after the hostess went to talk to a manager after someone said they could seat us now. Many many tables were open. Once we sat down, the server was very welcoming and apologized for the hostess not bringing any menus. There weren’t enough menus to the point they had to print and staple some together. Someone nearby us even asked to borrow ours. Everyone was bonding about how long the food was taking and we were all laughing together trying to pass the time. Eventually, people started just leaving. After an hour of sitting in an uncomfortable chair, we decided to move to a nearby booth, the best decision ever made. We got appetizers at 7:30. Keep in mind our reservation was at 6:30. Food came out at 8 p.m. Then it took another 30 minutes to get our check after we were done eating. I had asked someone to get our check and he mumbled and then proceeded over to the computer. Does absolutely nothing and makes a drink, we decided we were done and got up and asked again for our check. The waitress acted like nothing was wrong and said “Are you ready for your check?” I’ve been ready for the past 30 minutes thanks though. We left and won’t be coming back again. Don’t go to this restaurant unless you want to be here for three hours or until they learn their lesson and hire more staff and cooks.

The Blufin restaurant was a pleasant surprise since we weren't staying at the hotel. The food was flavorful and excellently prepared, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was perfect as the property is set on Rocky Point on Tampa Bay.

You should go here if you want to be by the water because the food is just ok. I'm not sure that you can expect much more from a hotel restaurant. Our waiter was excellent, but the food was cafeteria level at best.

One server for the restaurant. She was not attentive and left us without asking for drink refills or additional drinks. Food orders not timely and incorrect orders. Beautiful restaurant and area.

We are outdoors. The glasses were plastic outside which gave and airplane feeling. No lights outside other than the pool. That was a nice view but couldn’t see the bay at all. Dark everywhere else. Food was good.
