Patio850 The Original - Lakeland

I’m really not sure what happened to this place. I went a few months ago and was really impressed with it but now I am severely disappointed. I’ve been back twice and now I won’t be going back. Ordered the pulled pork nachos, that’s not pulled pork. Ordered the short rib, can’t even cut through it. Then the waitress says it’s been complained about a lot and they may take it off the menu. Probably should of already done that if you were considering it. They bring out another one, same problem. Friend orders the salmon, overcooked and sitting in a puddle of oil with potatoes and raw spinach. Dinners also came out 20 minutes apart. People usually go to dinner to eat together. Anyways, I hope they fix this up or this place won’t last. (The cat is cute)

Had a late dinner after just arriving in town from Jersey, with some delicious gourmet pizza and short rib, an ice cold Stella under the stars, palms and cafe lights with pleasant weather compared to the 20's temps I just came from!

First time we come to this place, a very nice place, pet friendly, the attention is very good... but!!! 1st if you are outside the mosquitoes will eat you, 2nd we do NOT recommend the nachos, because not even the pork has flavor, I would NOT recommend the popcorns, to eat popcorns I eat them at home, the salad is delicious and the escargot is very good. I'm telling you I'm a professional chef, I've worked with the best chefs in the US, I've worked in Argentina, Colombia and Venezuela and based on that I can tell you that the little food I've tried in this place is bad, you have no idea what a good one is nachos, nothing to see... and your truffle oil doesn't go with the popcorn.

Service was excellent and the atmosphere was as well. I will definitely be coming back. Live music was great as well on Friday night. We really enjoyed the food too.

We went spur of the moment on a Monday night after a stressful workday and it was such a great experience. We sat inside since it has been so hot lately which was very nice (we always have sat outside, we forgot they have a small indoor space too). They had great Monday night drink and food specials, service was excellent and everything was so, so good! Cooked perfectly! It had been a while since we've been to Patio850 and I'm so glad we went! We will be back soon to try brunch!
