   This was our first time and we won't be back. The menu is very limited and overpriced for what you're getting. We decided to try it as we were attending a concert in the adjoining theater. We sat for about 10 minutes and watched another party of two who came in after us receive water and have their order taken. When I asked "their waiter" if we could get water he seemed surprised we hadn't been served but didn't know who was assigned. When I asked for a substitution to my order (a green vegetable instead of mashed potatoes) the server hesitated and then suggested they might be able to double up on the green beans which is what happened. I was hoping for another vegetable but apparently the selections are extremely limited. The staff mentioned this was due to "the hurricanes". I ordered the short rib and my wife ordered the day boat special - red snapper. The quality was mediocre and the portions were average. Again, nothing to justify the hefty price tag of $54 for the snapper and $45 for the short rib and green beans.

   Food and service did not meet expectations. Selected menu items were marginal and service was slow.

   The drinks and the sliders were outstanding as was the service. The fries were cold. The lobster bisque had so much sugar in it I found it impossible to eat.

   Wagu sliders were overcooked. Diners had requested medium rare and medium. Sliders were well-done. Scallops were delicious, as was the Caesar salad.

   One in our party ordered a steak done, medium. When it came, it was bloody rare. The waiter took it back and returned with the same steak with sauce on it. Once the sauce was removed, it was apparent no one had cooked the steak any further. By this time, the rest of us were done with our meal and we are running up against the time window for a show which made it uncomfortable. The waiter said that they she would comp a dessert, which she later said management wouldn’t do so she offered to pay for it out of her own. She said it was the least they could do. She later said management said they would pay for it, but our concern is they probably deducted it from her salary. Overall management was to blame for what was a very bad experience. Not the way to run a restaurant.

   We made our reservation an hour and fifteen minute before our show. Long wait time for a server to come to our table. Long wait time for our drinks to arrive. We ordered 2 drinks, one appetizer and two entrees. End up paying for only the 2 drinks because the app (octopus dish) was fishy and extra salty and had to cancel the entrees because our show was about to start and didn't want to engulfed my food in 10mins. We took care of our server. We were told that they had a new kitchen staff in training.

   Although a smaller menu, the food portions and flavors were good. Fried deviled eggs, the crabmeat salad with fried tomatoes were substantial and tasty. The 3 scallops were massive and came with a nice base. The server was very good, and tired to make up for other shortcomings. Very convenient place to grab a meal before the show. However it took an hour and 20 min from arrival to entrees being served. Leaving about 20 min to eat before the show. Part of that is despite multiple hostess and being seated quickly no server was assigned or available for 15 min for ours and another table. Apps came in a ok time. If we go back I will either go two hours early or order everything as soon as they pour the water to avoid chocking down 200 bucks worth of food quicker than I would like. I will say they did comp us two drinks for the kitchen issues which was nice.

   If you’re planning to dine before a show in this restaurant- DON’T! The food is overpriced and not palatable. We ordered the red curry coconut short ribs for our entree and we thought it came from their dessert menu. What’s supposed to be a savory dish was extremely sweet, even a simple dish of mashed potatoes was sweet. Very disappointing experience.

    We tried Sonata for the first time recently. It’s a beautiful space with a wall of glass overlooking Saint Petersburg Harbor and Tampa Bay. The dining area looks very upscale and classy, as were the table settings. The menu is somewhat limited. Unfortunately, the food and the service were disappointing, especially at this price point.  our dinner consisted of bread, one appetizer, two entrées, one dessert, two cocktails, one glass of wine, one soft drink, coffee, and tea - $212 (without gratuity). At this price, I expect polished professional service and better food that is served hot, not lukewarm. If you are attending a show at the Mahaffey theater, it is convenient. Next time we attend a show, we’ll make dinner reservations elsewhere downtown as there are many better options.
