    All of the flatbreads were undercooked. The portobello mushroom flatbread barely had two mushrooms on it. The pear tart was legitimately just a sheet of RAW pastry dough with pears on top swimming in a pool of caramel. We were supposed to get ice cream with it but did not. The Brie flatbread had only two pieces of onion on it. The food was overpriced for what we received, I would not recommend. We got the desert for free because the wait was so long and we took it to go, the staff was very nice and our server was very sweet, but the food was undercooked and overpriced. Very disappointed. Edit: I never said the wait was the issue, the issue is that the food was undercooked. if you could address the raw sheet of pastry dough with pears on top as pictured, please feel free.

    Very unimpressed with this place sadly. My boyfriend and I ordered a chefs board that was supposed to come with mixed nuts, which it did not. No big deal, was willing to chalk it up to just a mistake. Not even worth mentioning to the friendly waitress. However, the “crisps” the plate comes with we’re completely stale and basically inedible. For 20 dollars for just a starter I’d expect a lot more. Very glad we just stopped by for a quick drink and appetizer, can’t imagine how I’d feel if I had ordered an actual meal.

    The ambience is great. Very relaxing. Great music helps to create a festive atmosphere while enjoying their wonderfully prepared meals. The food is wholesome and comforting. The staff were very friendly and attentive our food service was prompt. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone seeking an relaxing experience.

    This little jewel is hidden away on the edge of one of Lakeland's eclectic older communities. If you aren't looking for it you might just miss it, but what a find! The open air seating is shady at kept cool with oscillating fans. In the evening it was quite pleasant. The servers stay busy, but were friendly and somewhat attentive. Post Covid has changed staffing for most service businesses, so I don't expect the same level of attentiveness as before. I went to the Patio850 to have a little food adventure. They did not disappoint! The food was modern upscale comfort food, with new tastes, like bacon popcorn for an appetizer or the crab and jack dip. This time I split the to brie or not to brie flat bread which was offered complex nuances and layers of flavor. Eating here is always an adventure and I love it! The prices were a in keeping with the level of food offered. I split an appetizer and flat bread with my dinnercompanion for about $35 with no drinks. It was well priced in my opinion.

    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. 👎👎👎👎

    I love this place! I’ve only been here twice, but both times the experience has been great. The waiters are super friendly and the food is excellent. Rachel is a great waitress; supper polite, patient, and efficient. The vibe here is also very nice and relaxing. If you go, you should try their grilled chicken Cobb salad and escargot. Truly lovely.

    We were seated and greeted promptly. 1/2 of the menus were dirty. We ordered hummus and olives to start. A porter style beer from Colorado was ordered but it needed to be colder. The red sangria was tasty. We ordered the original bleu salad and the mahi w/ mashed potatoes and asparagus. All the food was delicious. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable. Patio850 has the price and deliciousness of an upscale restaurant without the ambiance, which could be good or bad depending on your preference.

    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)

    Staff was wonderful and wore masks. Atmosphere was very cozy, especially with the space heaters in the cold and a fire pit! Food was very tasty and as described! We had the crab and Jack dip: fresh and a little spicy and the 12 hr short ribs: nicely flavored and good with the grits and spinach for moisture Serving beer and wine, liquor is in the plans

    Highly recommend Patio 850. Went last night and loved the atmosphere and the food. Forgot to get pictures of our entrees because we were hungry, but the husband had the filet and I had that Mahi Mahi. The peach Moscato was so refreshing we ended up getting 2 glasses each. You have to try the bacon popcorn. I don't know what genius decided to put bacon, truffle oil and parmesan cheese on popcorn but it works. Our son had the pulled pork nachos.

    My wife and I live in Davenport . We were looking for a romantic outdoor place to eat. So I google this and this restaurant came up. Listen we a great time. The food was delicious. Outdoor seating was nice and service was great. Thank you Megan. But most of all was the music by Tom. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎼🎵

    What a wonderful dinner tonight at the Patio. Shortly before we arrived, It was raining, so we opted to sit indoors. We started with maple bacon popcorn, which was hot, fresh, and delicious! I ordered the short rib with grits, and my wife had the salmon with restated potatoes. Her salmon was moist and cooked perfectly. Now on to my short rib: they do not skimp on portions! The meat was so tender and juicy!! The grits were nice and creamy, and the spinach topping was crisp and perfectly cooked. The waitress was attentive and friendly, and the owner even stopped by to check on us. If you haven’t been by lately, I would strongly urge you to give the Patio a try!

    The atmosphere and the live music is what makes this place so appealing. The food was OK (although the crab tasted old) but the wait for our drinks and our food was ridiculous. My daughter ordered a Shirley Temple and it took 20 minutes for it to come out. Meanwhile, it took the food so long to come that my daughter's blood sugar became extremely low and we had to get pretzels from the car. I hope things improve. It would be sad to see this place not make it.

    Perfect date night atmosphere. They had an instrumentalist that was very personable and the music was a perfect tone. We had the pork nachos and they were delicious! The owner came by and was very polite checking on things. I also had a sangria, that is made in house and very good as well. We will be back.

    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! 🥶 Our waiter was great and helpful and we were even greeted by the entertainment... a cute li'l Tabby! 🐱

    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!

    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.

    Great setting and the food was delicious. Small menu but covers all the bases. Nice outdoor area and look forward to revisiting this place.

    Last evening my family and I had the pleasure of dining at Patio 850. What a pleasant & delicious experience! The owners and all of their staff are incredible! So very friendly & see to your every need. Everyone of us had different entrees. We couldn’t believe how delicious they all were. We started with the nachos appetizer and the hummus appetizer. Both were huge, shared by all of us! We ordered the short ribs (so tender & savory) 2 different stone oven pizzas, tenderloin, creamed spinach and asparagus. The Chef has an unbelievable talent. Oh, and of course we had to try the delectable bread pudding. Yummmmmy🤗 Treat yourself to an outdoor (or indoor) dining experience you won’t soon forget!

    We had a wonderful night out with friends and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of Patio850. There was a talented classical guitarist playing this evening. The food portions are ginormous and tastes phenomenal. Finally, a place you can sit and talk with friends without shouting over loud music.

👍👍 The atmosphere is awesome. High energy and plenty of visual items to take in. What's even better is the food. The "Estate" burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. My Everything came very fast and hot. Well timed by the team!! My son especially loved the onion rings. Be carefull though,...
