The service was over the top and the food even better. We'll be returning soon.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMGood; but Unlucky...The Maritana Grille located at the Don Cesar Hotel is a very elegant restaurant. Expect to be impressed with the skill level of the chefs and their creations. On the night we dined, we had the Sea Scallops appetizer, while I ordered the filet mignon and my girlfriend had the lobster ravioli. My filet was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Unfortunately, I had to give half of my steak away to my gf because her meal was inedible. The lobster had a very bad smell to it and a flavor to match. We also found a piece of a shell in her food. The waiter made it up to us and took it off our bill with no question and offered to give us something else.
Our waiter was very attentive and very kind about the situation. Overall a pleasant experience.5/10/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service and the food wasThe service and the food was outstanding. It was by far the nicest meal we've had since moving back to Florida. We had the Lamb and the Venison, and they were cooked perfect. The Duo of Scallops were amazing, the hard part was picking which version I liked better. The only compliant is their lack of wine selection when you buy by the glass. We will make several return visits to try the rest of their menu.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMAn Unexpected Great Find!My wife and I were in St. Pete Beach, FL for a business conference and were having difficulty finding "fine dining" restaurants. We happened to see Maritana Grille and decided to try it on Monday evening. It was fantastic! We liked It so much that we went back with two business associates on Friday night and it was even better! Everything we had was excellent from the chef's favor at the start of the meal, outstanding bread, delicious seafood appetizers, the intermezzo, the entrees and last but not least the desserts. We would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect all around!The food was wonderful!
