I went with a large group and we were seated in a private dining area. The food was amazing. I had the coffee bean crusted new york steak. It was perfect. They have an extensive wine selection and even a great selection of grappa's. I would definitely recommend going here if you are ever in town. You will not be... More

Superb restaurant. I loved the fresh, organic and local food cooked to perfection. They serve wild fish only, grass-fed beef and lamb, organic greens and salads, bay scallops...and amazing deserts.

The food and service were excellent. The staff was well trained and knew what to recommend. It was a lot of fun and a relaxing atmosphere. We loved it and ate here two nights because we stayed at the Don Cesar. Make your dinner reservations ahead if you want to be sure to get in during busy season.

We have been to the Maritana many times over the past 17 years. It is, hands down and consistently, the best dining experience in the Tampa-St Pete area. Elegant atmosphere, great service, creative food from the best ingredients, beautifully presented, impressive but unpretentious wine list. I have only good things to say, and having also been to the other area... More

We don't usually eat in the restaurant in hotels we stay in but for our first night in FL we decided to try the Maritana Grille and were VERY happy we did. Outstanding food and service. There is no question we would eat here again regardless of whether we stayed at the hotel. This is a great restaurant.

From the minute we stepped into the restaurant, we were treated with white kid service. They even changed our table to the other side because it was quieter. The presentation of the food and the dishes where the food is displayed show the calibre of this fine restaurant. The food is fresh and interesting. The crab cake appetizer was 90... More
