The staff was friendly, and our waitress, Angela, was attentive and had a great sense of humor. The pricing is expensive, and the portions are average. The atmosphere is pleasant, and I would recommend going for a one-time occasion.

A great, upscale restaurant to go for a special occasion or date night. We enjoyed the Chilean Sea Bass and Branzino. We also had calamari for an appetizer. The service and ambiance were incredible, and we had a wonderful date night.

Everything about this restaurant is 5 Star from the service to the food and decor. Today's we had a really nice booth for our ladies lunch out. Everyone had salads but different kinds, all were fantastic. Can't wait for our next visit.

WOW , we went with a party of five for my wife’s birthday and were blown away by the food and service , we started with the Fig and Pig , 717 Goyza and the arancini bon bon appetizers, then the chef bought us out a plate of his gnocchi with truffles and all of the plates were delicious and we devoured them all. Dinner was next and we ordered the 717 steakhouse burgers , the Whiskey Pig and the Pasta Verde and a side of the cream corn brûlée. The food portions were huge and all were perfectly seasoned. We all had plenty of leftovers to take home . Chef Robert then bought out a dessert for my wife which he made for her , I can’t even explain it but all I can say is it was incredible. The chef sat with us and explained each dish and had a great conversation with us on his vision of the restaurant, we will definitely be going back there and we highly recommend this place .

Came here for a company 🥳 party. Had reservations & it took a few minutes but we were seated & attended to cordially. Tried the appetizer the calamari which was really good. Also the 2 different breads were great. I tried the jumbo lump crab cake which was spectacular & paired it with a tequila drink called the ✈️ flight. Really good was about $17. Then I tried the Cesar salad which was also fantastic. For dinner I did the 14oz NY strip steak $59 then added a lobster tail $32. I did get roasted garlic mash $16 & asparagus $22 as additional a la carte sides. For desert I had the warm butter cake $26. It left mote to be desired. Wasn't what I had hoped for felt too buttery & the sauce was a bit too tart for me. Not bad but I will try something different next time. Overall everything was excellent. This place is expensive but you do get what you pay for. Service was exceptional.

Easily the lousiest IHOP food I’ve had. Diners are pretty simple, and it’s very hard to mess it up.

Maybe the last 4 times I’ve been here the cook’s had a bad day, but man am I unlucky then.

If you are looking for the BEST burger in Tampa, look no further. We have been coming here for years and every time we have the best experience. Mosa is amazingly friendly and welcoming. Burgers are fresh, made to order, and $5 on Wednesdays! Don't pass this up!

I came here one day after work and was excited to see they have gluten free buns. Mo made my burger and provided exceptional customer service throughout the process. She made sure I knew what was cooked in what part of the kitchen to avoid gluten contamination (I have celiac) and ensured safety by changing her gloves for me without hesitation. She went out of her way to check the ingredients of the oil in the fryer (soybean) to prevent me from having an allergic reaction. The food was made perfectly to order, and was delicious. Thank you Mo, and thank you Shula Burger!

We had a 12 top in the private room and even though the service and venue were phenomena, they served me a very rare, almost raw steak and instead of making me a new one they scorched it when they put it back on the grill and it was Grey and char tasting when I ate it. Not sure if I will go back because any high standard restaurant would have provided a new steak.

I have been going to IHOP since I was a little girl and have never experienced bad service. Everytime i went everything was always great if not great then good including the waiters. However on 12/28/23 I took my mother, 4 year old, and new born to IHOP. We have ate all day mind you we are thinking everything was going to be great/good like always. When we sat down I went straight to the bathroom so my Mom was at the table with my children waiting on me. My mother was off when I came back. I couldn't figure out why. So the waiter comes and asks us what we want to drink and what we want to eat we told him we wanted a 5 stack of pancakes, 1 Colorado omelet with pancakes,chicken quesadia, and stabled eggs. He left our menus on the table after he left. The first thing he brings out is the pancakes that came with the omlete. The pancakes were crusty and old. One of pancakes was burnt I didn't find out that it was burnt till my 4 year old told me these were his pancakes by the way!!! Next he brings the wrong omelet and tries to tell use its the right omelet then he brings my quesadia....the tortilla was hard and burnt the food on the inside was BURNT!!...THE SALSA HE GAVE ME WASNT EVEN FULL IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE USED IT ALREADY AND IT TASTED LIKE VINEGAR AND VADKA I THREW UP AT THE TABLE!!! THE 5 STACK PANCAKES WERE OLD AS WELL THEY LITERALLY TORE THE BURNT PIECES OFF OF THEM. THE BUTTER JUST SAT ON THESE PANCAKES! WE ASKED HIM TO TAKE IT BACK.....AT THIS POINT I WAS READY TO WALK OUT. HE BROUGHT THEM BACK! THE SAME PANCAKES WE TOLD HIM TO TAKE BACK HE BROUGHT THEM BACK MICROWAVED
MICROWAVED!!!
THE EGGS WAS OVER COOKED AS WELL. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS AT ANY RESTAURANT I HAVE BEEN TO IN MY LIFE!! I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN MY SERVICE AFTER BEING A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR SO MANY YEARS. THE WAITERES EXCUSE WAS THEY WERE LOW STAFFED. IHOP PLEASE DO BETTER. I WOULDVE ASKED FOR A REFUND BUT MY MOTHER ASKED ME TO CAUSE A SCENE. I PAID AND IT WASNT EVEN WORTH IT $30.

Visited with a friend on 23rd. Had the scallops. They were a tad undercooked and only two scallops. Had the grouper and it was overcooked. However, I did not say anything. They would have probably brought me another. My friend had the brussel sprouts and truffle ravioli. Both were amazing. Service was good, but bit slow.

Whenever we get to Tampa, Ocean Prime is always a must. Our waiter Jim and his assistant Nick did an incredible job all night. The appetizers were awesome and the steaks and fish were amazingly cooked. Great wine choices and the desserts were on point as well. The only thing I wish they would do is enforce the dress code more. I understand not turning away money but if you are going to put rules on the website then have the door guy enforce them. Other than that, we absolutely love coming here every time we are in town.

Today was a special celebration and I’m grateful to have chosen Ocean Prime as the location. The table was decorated in preparation without needing to request it. These little details separate the best from the rest. The staff sat us within a few minutes of arriving. We were greeted and served with water and a contrail order was taken promptly. The service was well timed but we never felt rushed. The bread, appetizer, soup, main course and dessert were all full of flavor and expertly prepared. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate not only the staff and service provided but also the quality of the food and the flavor pairing throughout entire experience. Thank you and we will be back soon!

We normally like this place, but the service was slow and hardly anyone in restraunt. The food was horrible.. They served burnt bacon, over done eggs, and hash browns were not cooked, but they just heated them. The good news...the waiter did smile.

I went into this IHOP to drink hot tea with a friend . At the time to paid we ask for our bill, waitress gave us the bill , we gave him cash , waitress ask if we wanted cask back , we answer yes . He never brought us back our change.
We wait and wait nothing. I understand as a person that works and gets tips how important it is, at the end of the day . But if a costumer ask for there change back it should be given back. .

I think this may be the best burger place I've had in Florida. The food was amazing and of good quantity for how much you're paying. The lady was so sweet and kind, the service was impeccable. The hour drive was totally worth it.
My recent visit to Brunchery Restaurant and Catering was a delightful brunch experience, featuring a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors. The restaurant's cozy and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for a satisfying meal. I enjoyed the French toast, a delightful treat that was perfectly golden and topped with sweet accompaniments. The egg Benedict was equally exceptional, with perfectly poached eggs and a rich hollandaise sauce. Brunchery's commitment to delivering high-quality and delectable dishes was evident in every bite. The friendly service and the warm ambiance added to the overall enjoyable experience. Whether you're a fan of French toast, egg Benedict, or simply seeking a delightful brunch, Brunchery Restaurant and Catering is a must-visit. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to savor more of their delicious offerings!

Really good burger - very tasty and made fresh to order. I had the Shula burger and added raw red onions. It was delish. Service by Mo outstanding! Minor things that subtract from 5stars - shredded lettuce kind of brown and old tasting, the $1 oreo milk shake tasted like the milk was sour or bad. And last thing, the burgers are priced online at $6.99 but ring up at $9.99 for burger only; my only add-on was raw red onion.

We eat here all the time & the food is great! Our Favorites are the Breakfast Burrito, Cheese Grits, Sweet potato fries w/drizzle & Mojo Burger (pictured) but we're still working our way down the menu! Highly recommended!

We grazed at Graze - 1st time ever - for brunch. The BYO Egg Bowl with potatoes, onions, spinach, and chicken was delicious and filling because of the generous portion. Both of our bowls were light on the protein (Please tweak that) and they were out of my preferred base: cheese grits. Wait. What? No grits?

Unlike most places, the cook was not afraid to season. Not so at Graze. Good food, friendly & timely service with good energy and a smile. It routinely frequented and highly rated for a reason.

PS. They have a nice selection of sodas.

I think they had the best octopus tentacles I ever tasted. It was so soft and taste delicious. The snapper however was a little bit disappointing just a a little bit spicy sauce and made the taste overwhelming. The steaks were amazing tho.

The BEST lamb I've had! About $50... Flavor was even better than Burn's Steakhouse. 2 other people got the grouper and stated it was the best they ever had. I admire the chef's attention to detail when it comes to plating. The food not only looked amazing but tasted amazing! 10 outta 10 would recommend.

The waiter was nice, we got our food quickly. However the condiments on the table were nasty they needed to be wiped off
Tha floor was sticky and the bathroom was very dirty, paper towel holder was broken. They were out of biscuits at 9:00 in the morning and that's what I came there for. My husband had a Belgian waffle and one side of it wasn't cooked thru. Unfortunately I don't think we will go there again. It's unfortunate because all the pictures on the menu look so good but the restaurant was not clean.

First time did not disappoint us! Our server Dani was attentive and really nice. We enjoyed the chicken wrap and steak quesadilla! The District Nights cocktail was my favorite topped with a salty rim.

All that to say we will be stopping by before hockey games since the trolley stop is not too far away. 5 stars!

I ordered from here via Uber eats. It was the most disgusting take out I have received. I ordered the mozzarella balls, they were clearly over cooked as the cheese was burnt and on the outside of the ball. I also ordered the Buffalo chicken flatbread. It was so overloaded with Buffalo sauce it soaked through the “flatbread” and was glued to the bottom of the box. Finally, I got the chicken wrap, there was barely any chicken and all of the cheese was in one area of the wrap. The only thing even remotely edible were the French fries. Perhaps eating in the food is better but I won’t be wasting my time finding out. Skip this one.

Chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious.
I'm a big judge on chicken but this was cook to perfection, nice toasted bun and fresh ingredients. I ordered 2x and finished the sandwiches in less than 5 minutes and it was so good I had to order another one. It's not just good product but it's also how they cooked it, the mom and the daughter that was working on Wednesday 10/18/23 at lunch time made the food so delicious as if i cooked this myself. I believe her name was mimosa.

Quite possibly the best meal I've ever experienced. The food was amazing, the server was amazing. We ordered 3 different cocktails and only didn't enjoy 1 but that's not on them. The only non 5 star comment would be that when we arrived, the hostess didn't speak to us. Absolutely the best bone marrow I've ever had. We will definitely return next time we're in Tampa.

This place was so delicious, we came in twice in one week. So impressed with the quality of food and the ambiance. I have been a fan of Bern's Steak House since 2015, however, we have never eaten at their sister restaurant. Last week was our 1st time visiting Haven. It was our son's birthday and we decided to try this restaurant featuring New American small plates, wine & cocktails as per recommendation of my friend. Tuna Sashimi, Hamachi Sashimi, Shaved Beef Taco, Seared Foie Gras, Cheese platter and Coal Grilled Octopus as appetizers were all 10/10. As for the main course we opted in for Glacier 51 Sea Bass (O.M.G.), Arctic Char, 8oz Filet Mignon (perfectly trimmed) and 10 oz Dry-Aged Strip. Drinks, 'Margarita', 'Lemon Drop' and 'Moscow Mule', were good as well with the exception of the 'Duck Duck Jeep' (it was an odd one). We did not try their desserts (both times) as 1st time visiting we brought a cake for our son's birthday, however, we were never super impressed with Berns' dessert room. I know it may sound weird to many as they are known for their desserts, but truthfully, we have had desserts at other local restaurants that we prefer over Berns'. Service by Madeline K. was on point, however, she accidentally forgot to place the main course item for our birthday boy, so he ended up getting his filet about 15 minutes after everyone else received their meals. It did not spoil our night as she brought out the cake with large candle with sparkles and it was fantastic! Our son was so surprised and I was able to capture some awesome pictures of him with his cake and candles. Overall an excellent experience by everyone: valet guy, bussers, food runners, hostesses and the wait staff. We also appreciated the fact that we were seated at a larger table/couch with brighter lights vs more of a romantic, darker tables.

Our second time we requested to sit outside which was nice as it was a pleasant evening. Haven's tacos are my husband's favorite in Tampa and we ordered 16 of them that night. If you are not up to dressing up in your best outfits, but would like a nice quality meal, Haven is your spot!
I absolutely love this place! Building is fantastic from the outside and the interior Atmosphere is even better. Service was fast and friendly and the restaurant staff was great! Everyone that wasn't even our server would smile, say hello, clear plates. I had the Steak Frites and I mainly chose this because of my love for Bone Marrow (Butter of the Gods!) It was prepared perfect and their chimichurri sauce was fantastic. Cocktails were unique and very good and we honestly didn't drink or eat anything we wouldn't come back and order again! Get yourself a reservation and Enjoy On Swann, you will thank me.
Really nice cozy restaurant. Had the feel of being in New England household. The staff were definitely from New York which wasn’t bad, just unexpected! The food was decent and so were the prices. What’s REALLY GOOD is the coffee, especially an espresso.

There was a weird smell as you come into the restaurant that’s we almost left but decided to stay. The staff was friendly and the restaurant looked clean. We ordered a breakfast bowl but it was not what we expected. It was overpriced for what was in. I think they got the amount of eggs right, barely chicken and pancakes on the mix. Sorry but I think it is a one time visit.

I sat at the bar which was pretty nice. The whole place has a nice vibe. I can see this place being swamped on game days.
The Tavern Burger was pretty tasty and the Mac N cheese was on point too.
Reason for the four stars is the bartenders seemed to operate on a series of head nods from a distance. I was waiting to order for a while and when they finally came over it was with a “sup”? Then once I finally got their attention again after the meal it was just a check drop. No interaction. No “how was it”. Just done.

Xena was a terrific server and made our meal more enjoyable. Food is excellent, pricey but very tasty and generous portions. Free parking, but a good walk to the restaurant.
Needed some good food after my plane was delayed. Stopped in here without high expectations. Was I surprised !! Melissa was my server and at the top of my favorite servers list! She promptly came to my table as soon as I sat down. My drink was in front of me within a minute and my food shortly after. Cooked exactly as I wanted. Melissa left me to eat in peace, only stopping by if I raised my eyes. The food was wonderful, fresh and tasty! I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Tampa.

Review: Haven, Tampa Florida

My close friend took me here for my birthday for the first time, and it was indeed an amazing experience. As someone well-traveled (67+ countries) with experiences with some of the most unusual food products you can imagine and having dined with many Michelin-star chefs – I can truly say Haven is a 5-star experience.

First – the Waiter. Daniel is AMAZING. I mean, truly amazing. He started by explaining the menu and how it’s a shareable tapas style. He was VERY confident in providing us with food that would create an experience with your palette. It was because of that confidence that I presented him with a challenge. I told him to take us through the best of the best of what Haven has to offer and curate the entire meal himself. He grabbed our menus immediately and said, “That was all you had to say.”

He started our journey with the Chef’s Charcuterie board, where he took us on a delightful tour of some of the finest cheeses and meat from around the globe, handpicking 3 kinds of cheese and 3 types of meat from a selection of 6 different types of meat and 30+ different kinds of cheese. The board also had spicy mustard, honey, regular mustard, baby gherkins, pickled okra, and some amazing macadamia nuts.

Next, he delivered 3 main dishes.

Rabbit Kidneys served with cognac, dijon, brioche, and parsley. I have had some amazing exotic meats over the years, but haven’t truly delved into the culinary experience of the animal's insides. The world is filled with many ubiquitous dishes; however, the rabbit kidneys had the privilege of savoring stood out as a true delight. The chef's creativity and dedication to excellence transformed a humble organ meat into a gourmet delight that transcended expectations. Every aspect of the dish, from its exquisite presentation to its harmonious flavors, showcased the artistry of the culinary craft.

Fried Brussels Sprouts Salad served with spinach, ricotta salata, orchard fruits, and quince vinaigrette. This salad is a shining example of how creative preparation can transform a seemingly ordinary vegetable into an extraordinary culinary experience. It had the perfect combination of texture, flavor, and balance, leaving you with a newfound appreciation for the versatility of Brussels sprouts.

Whole Roasted Sea Bream Veracruz served with green olive, tomato, caper, jalapeno, and oregano. From the moment it graced the table, the Whole Roasted Sea Bream Veracruz was a sight to behold. The fish, beautifully cooked to perfection, arrived with a flourish of vibrant colors. Fresh herbs, tomatoes, olives, and capers adorned the perfectly roasted sea bream, creating an enticing and picturesque display.

Lastly Dessert,
Toasted Olive Oil Cake served with white chocolate, roasted blackberries, and smoked olive oil ice cream: Prepare your taste buds for a dessert experience that's nothing short of heavenly. The toasted olive oil cake, crowned with a scoop of rich caramel vanilla ice cream, is a delectable masterpiece that blends diverse flavors and textures into a sweet symphony that leaves you craving for more.

In summary, if you're an adventurous diner looking to explore the boundaries of gastronomy, I wholeheartedly recommend trying this rabbit kidneys dish. It's a remarkable journey for the senses that will leave you with a newfound appreciation for the potential of even the most humble ingredients in the hands of a talented chef.

This was truly a gastronomic adventure that tantalized our taste buds and left us craving for more. You must try this restaurant and certainly ask for Daniel for a real experience.

Great people. Great food. Great drinks. Great atmosphere. Great hospitality. Highly recommended. Bartenders know how to execute hand crafted cocktails with skill - had a Last Word and a proper Whiskey Sour - both outstanding. Had the fried green tomatoes, incredible. Everything was delightful. Bartender Cindy was super friendly.

This restaurant checks all the boxes for any chic occasion, from business dinners to romantic evenings. I'll surely be back. However, a wider variety of fish dishes would be appreciated. While the Grouper was enjoyable, it didn't dazzle.

Wonderful service and the food was excellent! The dishes here are unique and the burgers are flavorful and non-greasy. The prices are reasonable and everything is clean and orderly. I'll definitely be back.
Best burger in Channelside!! Delicious, high quality meat and ingredients and great portion size as well! I get the Backyard BBQ burger and am never disappointed, it comes with a generous portion of extra crispy French fries as well. The staff is great, super friendly and work extremely hard, every time I place an order for pick up they always have it ready and waiting for me when I arrive. Dining in is also great, plenty of space to breathe and move around and also a wide array of T.V’s if you are watching sports. Overall, this little gem is a 10/10 and exceeds expectations in every single category. Food, service, environment and price. Looking forward to continuing to explore their menu!

So it's my mother's 77th birthday. And I knew I had to do something special. So after researching and reviewing restaurants 2 weeks prior I came to the conclusion I had to come. Reason is the outdoor statues that were from Lowery park zoo, my mother took me there for the first time 50 years ago and I knew it would be a full circle moment. I made a reservation we showed up on time. We were seated promptly. We had a lot of questions that the server was more than helpful with us. We ordered appetizers, we ordered entrees and we order desserts, (which we never do) everything was wonderful.. And because it was her birthday, they gave her a birthday card signed by the entire staff and 4 housemaid truffles. I thank you very much to the staff and be assured we will be back!

We stopped in during Hurricane Idalia because thankfully Haven was open.

Our food came out quickly and was absolutely delicious. The Brussels Sprout salad was truly to die for. So creative and deliciously filling.

We also got the pistachio pasta, the zucchini, and the pork tenderloin. All very good! The plating was beautiful too.

The space was clean and decorated beautifully!

Thank you to the staff for staying open.

Hip and cool atmosphere, the food was pretty good. Our waiter recommended the Bubba Cluck Bowl. All in all it had good flavor but I wish I'd gotten it on the waffle instead. My SO had the Smoked Salmon Tartine, which was super good, I stole some bites from his .

This was the first time my wife and I had breakfast at this IHOP location and we were not disappointed. Same menu, same good food and as always, same smiling wait staff. Only one helpful observation. The walkway leading to the front door needs to be pressure washed. Otherwise restaurant is spotless.
First time visiting, "On Swan". Initially very welcoming and the staff super friendly. My 4 star rating is mainly due to how loud and noisy it was. The acoustics in the restaurant made it very difficult to hear what people are saying. Therefore, we sat outside.
Our server, Aries, was just lovely. She was kind and willing to assist me with my special dietary needs. She also didn't make me feel uncomfortable for altering my menu choices.
The food was fresh, made with care, and the quality of the meats were prepared to order.
Their Sommelier was informative and brought out the bottles of wine we were interested in. SIDE NOTE: always ask to see the bottle so you can read the labels. Especially if you prefer a certain %.
Looking for new restaurants to try in our area we came upon the Brunchery Restaurant and Cafe. Upon entering we were surprised at how quaint and inviting it was. I ordered the Reuben sandwich. My husband asked if they would make him a plain corned beef on a hoagie bread and they did! We loved the atmosphere. Our server was great. Food was delicious. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend visiting the Brunchery!

Went to Sunday brunch here with some family and friends. Greeted and seated asap, and felt welcomed in the process. Water came out promptly and drink orders taken in the same manor. Our waiter had no problem making suggestions when asked and that is always appreciated in my book. Drinks and apps came out...they were delicious and had us all excited for our entrees. Once they arrived we kinda hit a flat note due to lack of seasoning...but they were good. Dessert was good also. I would visit again if in the area.

This place is the absolute best! We called in 5 minutes before arriving and they had our table set up and ready for us when we arrived. From the service, food, staff and atmosphere everything was 5 stars!

This is my favorite restaurant in the Tampa area! I travel all the way from Houston, and always have to stop here to eat! From the appetizers, to the desserts, everything is 10 out of 10! Food is served elegantly and cooked perfectly. This really is great food, every time! Our waitress was also nice and attentive. Seafood risotto was amazing! The pineapple bread pudding was also so divine, Def. recommended!

What a phenomenal experience top to bottom. We celebrated our anniversary here and were sat immediately upon arrival with a card on the table for us. Our server, Amanda, was truly one of the best servers we have EVER had at any establishment. She made the meal even more memorable and enjoyable with her bubbly, sweet demeanor, excellent recommendations and stellar service! The fried green tomatoes, hanger steak, and grouper were absolutely decadent. Cannot recommend this place enough. We will be back!

We had a party of 6 for a birthday celebration. Our service and food were excellent! The restaurant decor is very nice. The only change I would make would be their choice of music. Maybe to switch it up would be nice. Thank you for a nice evening !

We came here to celebrate a family birthday and it was absolutely delicious! Our server Brie was on point with menu explanations and making sure we got everything on time. The beef spare ribs were my favorite but absolutely everything on our table was good. The mac & cheese was our favorite side dish. They even gave us a champagne toast because we were celebrating a birthday! We can’t wait to come back again!

Yesterday was my first time at Graze. The food was great, I ordered the Street Tots which reminded me of nachos just replace the chips with tater tots. I also ordered the Blackened Ahi Tuna bowl and the tuna was seasoned and cooked perfectly! The pesto rice, pickled onions, guacamole, etc paired great with the tuna. I'll definitely be returning to try other items on the menu.

Amazing service and food! We loved the outdoor patio and the fact they were so dog friendly was a huge plus for us. We've found a new favorite in Tampa! Highly recommend trying a bunch of smaller dishes to get to sample all the great food. Cheese and charcuterie selection is amazing as well! Drinks were outstanding too! And again all of the staff was so grear and friendly!!! We'll be adding Haven into our regular rotation.

We went here for brunch, and the atmosphere was great! The restaurant was nice and there was not a lot of people. Our server was amazing, and the service was quick, and food was brought to our table at the perfect times. I would definitely recommend the board with a lot of different spreads on it and the açaí bowl was delicious. The main breakfast dishes were okay, however the appetizers definitely stole the show.

This is an excellent restaurant to go for date night or a celebration. The service is superb. We ordered several small dishes and shared them. Our server gave us excellent recommendations, which we really enjoyed. This was a fine dining experience, and we will return in the future.

This was my first time here, and I made online reservations for a birthday for two. We checked in and the host was a doll and so polite. She then sat us outside which was the most beautiful scenic place I think I've ever been to. Raven was our waitress, and she was amazing. The food was wonderful. You know how nice it is to have great food and a great scenery in the same place. Eating outside is most definitely the way to go when the sun is shining and the wind is blowing. We had three people separately come and tell my father Happy Birthday and actually had a conversation with him. I found out one was the owner. That made me smile really big. We will definitely be going back often.
I hardly ever order UBER EATS but I did today. I also rarely write negative Google reviews. The only reason why I’m not giving them one star is because the sandwich was incredibly good. But to pay an additional six dollars for only a spoonful of cold potatoes tipped me over the edge. I’d recommend eating at their restaurant not ordering online that way they won’t short you.

Ulele is an incredible dining establishment that offers fantastic food, friendly staff, and a great atmosphere. The menu is diverse and delicious, with each dish prepared with care. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, making your visit enjoyable from start to finish. The restaurant's inviting ambiance adds to the overall experience. I highly recommend Ulele for a wonderful dining experience.

Gorgeous experience during our first time at Heaven. This restaurant is all you want for a fun night our with family or friends. The service is just amazing. The way I would define the food is comfort but with an artistic twist and it is just fantastic. Everything we tried was just perfectly prepared and well thought out.

We had a fantastic experience at Ulele. From the complimentary valet service to the food, server, and views, it was great all around. I had the Loaded Native Chile and managed to talk my wife into trying it. We both loved it. The Calamari was good, and the sauce that comes with it was spectacular (can I have that recipe?). My wife had the short rib for her entrée, and I had the Gouda Grouper. I would definitely go back for the food. Even better, the wait was very brief with an online reservation, and there were plenty of sights to see in the park next door and a beautiful view of the river from the patio area behind the restaurant. Definitely one of our better eating experiences while vacationing.
Best catering decision! We hired Greg for a brunch party at home and not only was the food AMAZING, Greg was an absolute pleasure to be around! Some of the best benedicts we've had! We cannot wait to go to the Brunchery and eat there in person!
I got the steak and eggs, I got one strip of over cooked steak, hard/ rubbery at the same time. I hope uber refunds me because this was incredibly bad, no seasoning on steak or eggs. All this for $15, no way!

I must have mistaken this restaurant for Brunchery Restaurant in Valrico and not this Brunchery Restaurant and Catering.

Idk about the other food but I don’t recommend the steak and eggs, it’s not like the steak you get at other breakfast/ brunch spots. Why did it taste faintly like liver 🤢, like I was eating liver and onions.

We celebrated my husband’s birthday dinner here with our children and his family. We dined on the patio and it was the perfect environment; they had large fans to help with the heat, were very friendly towards children. We ordered the children’s mac & cheese, seafood risotto, grouper, salad, charbroiled oysters, jalapeño corn muffins. Everything tasted amazing and I would highly recommend.

Best burgers on South Howard. The toasted buns, the think perfectly salted and spiced patties and the fresh vegetables and garnish make it a burger worth tasting. We tried bother the Shula burger and the Mushroom Swiss burger and they were both really good. The fries were thin cut, crispy and friend to a perfect golden brown. We will definitely come back to this burger joint. Another good thing is that everything happens in front of you so the process is very transparent and the hygiene is proper. I recommend it!

"I had the pleasure of dining at Ulele, and let me tell you, it was a culinary journey that set my taste buds on fire! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made it feel exotic . The decor was tasteful and stylish, and the lighting created the perfect ambiance for a memorable meal.

Now, let's talk about the food. It was nothing short of amazing! Every dish that came out of the kitchen was a masterpiece, packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The menu offered a fantastic range of options, from classic comfort food to more daring and exotic dishes that pushed the boundaries of my palate. it was an explosion of flavors that left me craving for more!

The service was also top-notch. Our waiter was attentive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best possible experience. I appreciated the attention to detail, like the frequent refills of drinks and water.

Overall, I can't recommend Ulele enough for those who are looking for a little heat in their dining experience. Whether you're looking for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out with friends, this restaurant is the perfect choice. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu, and see what new spicy surprises they have in store!".

Thanks guys for making it a memorable experience.
First time trying this place on a holiday, st Patricks, which probably wasn't the best idea, the staff was very overwhelmed. You wall in and have to guess what to do. Drinks are kind of pricey. The Irish mule, which was on special was 14 dollars. Cancel my order cause it took forever to get the food. The food I did see people get look great. I do plan to give them another try. Stuff we're nice, but I had no idea who actually work there most of the time. Atmosphere was great for date night.

I will revise my rating on next visit

Spur of the moment late lunch since we were in the area. Easy to find place that's right next to the city parking garage ($8). Atmosphere was lacking energy and aesthetics (in all fairness, it was a Wednesday afternoon), but that was quickly made up by the service and food quality. Good variety of dishes and drinks. Service was timely and with a smile. If I could award stars for cleanliness it would be a 3. Table still had glass marks and crumbs from the last patrons and the utensils had bad soap scum. Food was on point, however. Full of flavor and quality ingredients. Every bite was eaten, lol. My only other concern is paying $20 for 3 sodas/tea and a local beer which put us close to $100 for a family of 4. Didnt see that one coming.

Another small treasure in downtown Tampa. We were on a scavenger picnic hunt with an online company, and one clue led us here. The staff I'm at the entrance and cafe were friendly. They answered our questions, and the location was clean and cheerful. They have a variety of foods, from vegan treats to pasta; it was indeed a gem. If only we had more time, we would have bought more.
Fresh, satisfying and delicious! They have a big portion of the food. I ordered potato salad, jerk burger and acai bowl. The acai bowl is fresh and delicious. The potato salad is so flavorful. You can taste different kind of flavors and plays on your tongue. My palate was jumping for joy! The burger is soft and juicy! It has a jalapeño and avocado, two of my favorite flavor! Ooh I love it! ❤️❤️❤️
This place was absolutely amazing! I was seated quickly and the server came over to the table almost immediately. The orange juice was definitely FRESH squeezed and the food was hearty and a GREAT portion for the price! Definitely a 10/10!
Update: We brought the family here for our Christmas Eve dinner. Food was delicious and the service was great. The only "issue" was that we booked our reservation on Open Table, and a few hours before our reservation the restaurant called saying Open Table booked us for a table that didn't exist. They offered us seats at the bar, which at that time we told them we have a 4 and 8 year old in our party. They managed to squeeze us in at a table, but said we needed to be out by 7:45pm. It was slightly irritating, but we made it work! The wagyu and grouper were very tasty.

What a great place! We were looking to try a new restaurant and happened to stumble upon 717 South in Hyde Park. We were able to be seated promptly upon our arrival. The inside has a lot of character, from the brick walls throughout the restaurant to the decor, it provides a warm and inviting atmosphere. We were tucked away in a corner booth, which was nice. Anthony was our server and we can't say enough wonderful things about him. He was friendly and checked on us frequently, and assisted with cocktail selections. The food and cocktails were delicious! We shared a plate of edamame and enjoyed lasagna and a filet for the main course. Everything was cooked perfectly! My husband said it was the best cucumber gimlet he's had! The desert menu looked scrumptious, but we were both too full. Definitely be back!

My husband and I went for brunch. The breakfast burrito was delicious, and we tried the seasonal waffles (pumpkin spice) which were incredible. Generous portions, friendly staff, Definitely recommend for a bite to eat
The Mill is a cute little place for brunch with inside and outdoor seating near the mill. The food is similar to a southern cuisine with waffles made out of corn bread, fried green tomatoes, a southern belle salad and many more delicious plates to choose from. Overall The Mill was good and different from your average brunch places in the area.

Great vegan food! This place was a bit hard to find at first since it's within Duckweed Urban Grocery. It's more of a quick take out, but there are a few small tables inside and outside you can sit at. Great healthy vegan selections. Overall I would highly recommend it if you're looking for a quick healthy vegan option in downtown Tampa!
I dined here based off reviews and wasn't really impressed. The ingredients used could be of higher quality (didn't taste fresh...), same with the condiments. My order was incorrect and that's ok, but when "fixed" it was then rushed and not cooked properly....This restaurant NEEDS a renovation badly also, I was not comfortable sitting on the chairs.... I will say though, the potatoes were VERY delicious but not tasty enough for me to return.
Fantastic vegan fare!! I had the California Cuban. Excellent taste.

The restaurant is located within Duckweed! It's off to the side like a little grocery sandwich bar. But there is space for seating.

Their sandwiches can be made gluten free if you ask for a gf bun. Some of their offerings, like their quick serve, prepacked meals are only vegan.
Wow!! Definitely coming back here again! I travel a lot and needed something healthy but comfort food so I ordered this from Uber eats. I ordered a lot since I saved some for lunch the next day. The bakery items were delish, as well as the Mac and cheese and jerk pasta! My favorite was the loaded Philly cheese-"steak"(since it's all vegan). 10/10 would recommend

The environment is different and the house is very cute. There’s a lot of parking spaces in the back and the service was okay. The devil eggs was very sour and pie was very dried. The menu is very unique and has quite a lot of options. The price is alright, but I wish the food was more flavored and less salty. But overall, good brunch experience and would come back to give it another try.

We went here for Sunday brunch this past weekend with 4 adults and 2 kids under 5 years old. The patio is first come first serve and we were able to get a table outside. The weather was perfect and Jaime (the host) provided excellent customer service along with our waiter Aiden. All the food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend the breakfast pot pie, but every dish we ordered was phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back.

The Fuego Philly tastes really good. Doing Vegan January and this meal make some think I could do it for longer. The mac and cheese was also great. I didn't like the Cuban but that might be because plant based deli meat isn't my jam.

Loaded cheese steaks:
Great. Best use of Beyond brand crumbled ground "beef" I've had. Will definitely be getting these again.

Jerk pasta salad:
Great, spicy

Lasagna:
Good

Potatoe salad:
Good, very spicy

Buffalo chick'n salad:
Okay, very wet, wouldn't order again.

Avocado BLT wrap:
Okay, wouldn't order again. Bacon was really thick, not crispy, not much flavor. Bacon tastes like vegan deli meat I've gotten in the grocery store.

Banana bread:
Didn't like it. Very dry, not good flavor.

Everything was okay. Service was slow. Our waiter seemed like it was his first day serving in his life. Drinks took over 45+ minutes to be made. Had to ask to cancel the order because the second order of drinks was taking so long. The only thing that’s keeping this review 3 stars are the side of potatoes that came with my meal. THEY WERE AMAZING. I would only come back in hopes the service is not so slow and the waiters do not take forever to do everything. Drinks were delicious. The meals posted in the photos below were average. Not something I would have to have but the potatoes are definitely something I would like again. I would definitely give this place another try. Other food items on the menu were very intriguing.

Great experience here for brunch. They have a great buy one get 50% off the rest of the bottles of champagne you buy!! The food was good with interesting flavor combinations. Wasn’t a huge fan of the apple/potato crisp on the pancakes but the gravy on the southern friend chicken biscuit was out of this world! Fried green tomatoes was my favorite dish! We sat outside where there were fans that help keep us cool!
This place is very unique. Outside seating is very comfortable and acommandating with the overhead outdoor heaters. Our waiter/bartender Simon, was very pleasant and made excellent drinks!! Inside was live music you can listen to as you dine or have a cocktail at the bar. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night or just to kick back and relax.

The staff was nice, the location is pretty and have an interesting menu. I wanted to try the roasted beet salad but it was almost all tomatoes and just 4 beef slices. I was unhappy so they cooked a nice egg brunch. If I go back I'll get a real meal. The patio was nice, service a bit slow but her nice and very safe
