Charley's Steak House - Tampa

Best stop of the trip! LOVED the ribeyeTenderFlavorful, and cooked perfect.

Since moving to Tampa 5 years ago we've always wanted to try Charley's We decided for our birthday celebrations we would go on date night there.

First off I just got to pour out a lil liquor for my homie Charley.

Charley is always amazing. I moved out of tampa a year ago, and I'll always eat here when I'm in town.

Our dining room experience was exceptional. we had a wonderful waiter. eating was excellent and the ambiente was perfect. our meal for the three of us with the tipp was just over $500. my only complaining is that I am there about 20 minutes early and after check-in with the host I asked if I could go into the bar and get a drink and she said yes. I went into the bar, there were two empty places. I sat on one of the stools and ordered a drink. the bartender was very friendly and nice. Before my drink was delivered, another host came up and asked me if I had set myself and had reservations for the bar? I was surprised because I never heard of this. She told me I had to go. I was insulted and uncomfortable. I asked her what I should do with the drink I had just paid for, and she said I could sit in a small chair in the corner next to the bar or I could wait in the lobby. first I sat in the small stool in the corner and felt very uncomfortable and awkward, especially when I saw others sitting in the load that I had just occupied while loading right next. it remained empty for the better part of 10 minutes. I finally moved into the lobby area with my drink and waited for my guests. Bar seats should come first served and they should never leave a dame after they order a drink and pay for it. I mean, I checked at the Hostess booth and was told I could go into the bar and get a drink. I should've asked if I could have a bar stool to go with my drink.
