Malio's Prime Steakhouse

We were in the mood for a steak and made a stop here. It is inside an office building. I would call the vibe and decor high-end casual. The filet mignon was tender and delicious. The drinks and side were good too. Service was a little slow but that's a nit.

Sat night walk in four guests no reservations. We were seated in the bar at a raised four top. One round of drinks and three steaks and lamb along with an appetizer of mussels. The server was not efficient! He was nice but not a prof. server. Management let him be/get overwhelmed. The steaks arrived with plates and table clutter from shared appetizers. Clang clang clang after a quick clearing of the table garbage, the main course had space to be served. Now we had no silverware no set ups no salt and pepper and four empty water glasses and our food in front of us.I asked for the end cut prime rib and if not available to cut off a rare steak and season it and and throw back on the grill for med rare. My steak showed RARE ... not as I ordered! No horseradish.. and only HR sauce. The steak knives were trash as they could not cut the lamb chops or prime rib. Management never passed by to police the server, ask if all was AOK, or to supplement where the server may have been overwhelmed or deficient and not doing as trained or was not trained. I feel like we should have expected more from a place like Molio's. Berns nails it every time in the bar! Molio's high top tables were tight, crowded, with low back bar chairs, and wobbly! I had to get the attention of the host at the greeting podium for help, for food to be returned and have cooked as requested, have the lamb chops cut by the kitchen, and so on... I had to deliver my charge card to the server as we were ready to go and had been waiting for him to stop by for follow-up an conclude with presentation of the bill! $365 ++.

Here's another review from our last visit to Tampa. We came here for dinner with our business friends. It's a beautiful steakhouse located in a building. Hubby and I shared a seafood pasta and NY strip. The pasta was excellent, and the steak was tasty. I thought the seafood pasta was the best of the night. Our friends had filet mignon and wedge salad. They said the filet mignon was excellent. Lila was our waitress. Since she knew about Hubby's and our friend's birthdays, they brought us two plates of desserts for the boys. That was awesome! More sweets! I didn't get to explore the entire restaurant, but from the entrance to the table, I saw that the place looked fantastic! Excellent food and service! We hope they survived the recent hurricane so we can revisit next time.

Very rude hostess. Straight up nasty and should be fired for the way she talks to customers who are coming into the bar. No customer service skills whatsoever.

Had a double date birthday celebration dinner, and it was nice. Staff was very friendly and provided great selections on drinks and food. Crab cakes were great!Crab post - Yankee style. Kinda spicy but good. Steak cooked perfectly but was fatty. Will come back with the girls for dinner.

I came for a work dinner, which had a fixed menu. The little fried shrimp scampi appetizer was amazing; I could easily have eaten 25 of them and called it a meal but alas, we only got two each. I liked the house salad which had the perfect amount of funky cheese. I got the seafood pasta which was pretty good. Very very large shrimp. Honestly when the shrimp get that big imo the flavor actually takes a hit. The linguine was served in a thin sauce that was mildly lemony and mildly buttery. Funny enough, the pasta was served with a side of potatoes (same side everyone got, which makes sense since most people got steak). The potatoes were great! I have no idea how they got them that perfect crispy outside/soft inside texture. Dessert was a mango sorbet. All in all a good meal.

Came here for a lunch and business meeting.First off this is a nice place located in a unique spot. Wouldn't call it upscale but it's also well maintained and keeps a formal look.I ordered the caesar salad and veal with mashed potatoes.The salad was very good mainly because the dressing was well made. The greens had a fresh crunch to them and the cheese was laid thick!The veal comes with an option of topping and I had to go for the Marsala. This is definitely one of the better veal Marsala I've had in a long time. The veal was tender with a nice thin breading on it.Mash potatoes were creamy with great flavor of butter.I would mind coming back for dinner sometime but if you want a good meal for a good price then the lunch here is a great option.Service was great too. Came back to check on the table many time and my biggest thing is they kept our glass of water full!

Great place to dine, we met friends for happy hour and we had a ball. The service was beyond excellent and the food and drinks were amazing. We split the meatball appetizer, split a salad and split the steak tips. Oh my gosh everything was delicious and amazing. The meatballs were two large pieces, the salad was big enough for two and the steak tips were tasty and tender. We had a cocktail each and let me tell you that the bartender was heavy handed ( wink wink ) and she was very sweet and professional. Make reservations for the restaurant at least 2-3 days in advance or the bar is first come first serve. The dress code was casual but I would say don't do any athletic wear. My wife had on a sun dress and I had on casual shorts and a button down shirt. There is valet parking for $6 every 3 hours. This is a wonderful place and it will be one of our favorites

Went for my boyfriend's birthday for the first time. It was nothing short of perfect. Seating was cozy and intimate, service was amazing, checked in at the perfect times and had wonderful recommendations.Food was to die for, I still think about the potatoes malio and we visited a few weeks ago. Everything was very fairly priced as well, I was surprised for Tampa. Overall this is one of our new favorite spots. We can't wait to go back

This is probably one of my least favorite steakhouses in Tampa. The food is average and the service is always subpar. They have a long history here but I would recommend going anywhere else.
