    A very nice Mexican restaurant. Service was efficient and friendly. Had a nice booth, noise level was moderate we could talk easily (why are so many restaurants so loud that you need to yell?). Not a lot of choice in the wine list, so we went with margaritas which where excellent.

    The Food was great and I enjoyed it very much !! The only issues were that we were not seated outside although we reserved that option. When they sat us at 5pm no one came to get our drink/food order for almost 10 minutes, and we had to flag someone down to let them know we were there!! Once the waitress realize this she was attentive and efficient, but told me they were out of the reserved Tequila for their signature cocktail so it was a good thing I had a back up drink to order. The Tres Leche was delicious and I highly recommend ordering that!

    Good drinks, food is good but nothing crazy special, and service needs some work. Other than that, cool spot to visit again, but there are other Mexican options I would visit first.

    Service was very, very disappointing. I asked the server for a dinner plate and spoon to eat the fajitas but didn’t show up for 7 minutes. I asked a second server, who also disappeared. I finally walked over to the kitchen to ask someone who only brought the plate but no spoon. I was fed up asking. I would like to speak to the chef Sandoval to suggest to him work on improving service level as the food was really good.

    Food was subpar and overpriced for what it was. When asking the server what she recommended or what was a “favorite” she replied that it’s all good, no specifics. She seemed uninterested. I used the bathroom as I walked in and, again, as we paid the check. Both times there was no hand soap in the bathroom. At the first time, I notified an employee. An hour or so later during the second time, still no soap. This is 100% unacceptable, especially in a “fine dining” restaurant. Knowing how many patrons used that bathroom without properly washing their hands disgusted me. I will not be returning to Lona.

    The carne asada tacos were managing along with the queso fondito however the salsa was very thick and smokey. The decor was very appealing and unique. I did feel that the prices were quite high. $17 for a margarita that came in a short glass.

    The food was great, but the front of house was mediocre at best. It was a a Friday night we had reservations, we waited 10-15 min to be seated because there was only one hostess for the entire restaurant, there were plenty of open tables. Then the hostess sat us right next to the kitchen were we heard the servers yell “coming in” all throughout the dinner. When asked to sit somewhere else initially the host became annoyed. We ordered drinks, they were out of a signature margarita, but the cocktails were good. The we attempted to order another round of drinks, this time they were out of red sangria and out of modela, 3 items, on a Friday night at 8pm. The server’s response was dismissive and unapologetic. We settled for another round of margaritas which tasted completely different than the first round to which we were unable to drink, they were terrible. The tables throughout the restaurant were dirty… Food was good but we won’t be back.

    We had a wonderful evening at Lona. First we love to try new restaurants and stay local. IT was a very pleasant surprise to see the remodeled space at the Tampa Marriott Waterside that is now Lona's. Our server, Dash, was exceptional. She immediately greeted us and brough water and chips and salsa to the table. We were there for dinner but also took advantage of the drink specials from Happy Hour. The Queso and Guacamole as appetizers was very good. Dinner selections were Fajitas - piping hot and Tacos. Everything was fresh and delicious. the Tres Leche Cake for dessert...it doesn't get better than that. We highly recommend going there. And if you are worried about parking the first 3 hours are free with a validated valet ticket from Lona's.

    Skirt steak for fajitas was the toughest I ve had. Good flavoring yet ruined by inferior meat. Having worked in the food and beverage industry there’s no way that the chef preparing the meat wasn’t aware of its underwhelming quality. More positively the ambiance is excellent and the the wait staff hospitable. This was the only reason that I didn’t return the plate to the kitchen. I told the staff about the meat and thought there’d be a complimentary dessert or something offered as a good Will gesture, but this was not the case.

    Hi Tone, Thank you for letting us know of your experience and we are deeply apologetic for the quality of the skirt steak you received. Your feedback has been shared with the chef and he has seen your review and will look towards double-checking your concerns. Yes, of course your concerns should have been addressed at the table and we would have been more than happy to extend a complimentary dessert as a goodwill gesture. We will continue to work with our service team in their empowerment to perform recoveries. I will have a manager reach out to you at your listed email to extend a personal apology. Thank you again for your candid review; this is invaluable to us. The Lona Leaders

    A beautiful space has been created in what used to be a sports bar at this Marriott. The place feels warm and inviting with a beautiful use of colors and textures all around. Our server was good. The traditional guacamole was good - not amazing - just good. (We all agree we prefer tableside presentation for guac to have the spice level customized to the guest.) The fajitas that my two friends enjoyed were great they said. The corn tortillas were a bit "firm" for their liking so they used the flour ones more. The roasted chicken was exceptional. While the skirt steak ones were a little on the chewy side but very flavorful. My Steak Tampiquena presentation was exceptional with a delicious corn enchilada, rajas (which are roasted poblano chile strips with some yummy cheese I think), and tasty refried beans. The skirt steak was a bit chewy. Flavorful, but chewy. The only very disappointing food item was the side of Mexican Rice. It was bland and some of the rice kernels were crunchy, taking us by surprise. Our server Joshua took the side dish back to the kitchen but not sure if he told William the manager who stopped by for a table visit a couple of times and I had to bring up the rice challenge. They did take it off the bill. Overall a nice first visit. Didn't wow us but we will go back.
