Bascom's Chop House

Thank you SO much Bascom's for making my speaker and dinner event a success! I held a meeting on Sep.10, 2011 for my local Meet Up group, Tampa Bay Open Minds. (New Members are always Welcome) When I called for reservations, Event Manager Keith Macatee went out... of his way to make sure my group was accommodated, even though I couldn't give him an exact number of guests! Keith made my job so much easier, and I am very thankful for that. General Manager Paul Bullard was there to greet our group as we arrived which made us feel very welcomed! The food was amazing. The best dinner I have had in ages! Several specials were offered that evening. I had the Crab Stuffed Grouper, and my husband had the Bone-In Ribeye with Lobster Bernaisse Sauce. Beautifully presented in a timely manner and my Grouper tasted 'Fresh off the boat'!!! We can't wait to go back! We also enjoyed a very Professional and friendly Bartender, Server and Server Assistant, who were also very much appreciated. The beautiful decor in the private dining rooms added such a classy touch to our event! Thank you again Keith, Paul & Bascom's ~ I look forward to holding another event soon. Read More

Went to restaurant with a party of 14 for double birthday celebrations. Attempted to present $25 Bascom gift cert. that was purchased on line and given as a gift to us. We have NEVER been able to use it there!!!!! Each time it is presented, there is one excuse or anothe...r even though the reason is not listed on the print out. We requested the manager and Keith Macatee, the event manager came over and was EXTREMELY rude and confrontational with us and others at the table. When he was asked specifically why it could not be used, he continually told me that "if I had a $25 gift card, it could be used but my nephew only paid $12.50 for it". When I asked what that had to do with it and that I didn't appreciate that comment, he accused me of having too much to drink. I had 1 1/2 drink all nite and coffee at that time. He actually escorted our party out. Very humiliating and when he was asked for his manager, he gave us a false number. I will NEVER go there again and definitely tell everyone that attempts to that they are not professional and do NOT buy that internet dinner discount. They do NOT honor it. He should definitely not be in a management position. We live very close to that rest. and will go to Tampa before we would ever go there again for a steak. Very humiliating and poor experience.

Great place for a business meeting or lunch, romantic dinner for a special occasion. Incredible food and service and attention to detail. This place is wonderful. Highly reccomend the Bascoms Salad, and any of the steaks particularly the Filet. Also the oysters bascom are incredible.

very poor....needs more attention from managers...slack service and poor presentation on the food....
