   This is one of Tampa Bays delicious secret hide aways! Scrumptious food, excellent service and views overlooking the water for miles. The ambience was relaxed & welcoming. We will definitely be back.

   Dined here during a work conference with our faculty. The staff was incredible and offered fantastic suggestions for all of us. The family style sides were incredible. Highly recommend the brussels sprout. The fish was fresh and the seasonal offerings for dinner delicious. A must visit restaurant while in Tampa.

   Service (Don) was stellar---personable, professional and attentive. Food was amazing--perfectly seasoned, attractively presented and ingredients were top quality. Location on the bay provided incredible sunset views. Only 2 minor issues--restaurant was kept a bit too cold and there is no valet during the weekdays. Otherwise a perfect 10!

   This was my first visit. Was given a great table with impressive sunset views. Ambiance and overall atmosphere is great. Just came in for drinks and some appetizers. Bar was lively and a fun stop before going to our table. We tried all three oyster options from the raw bar was. All were very good. Grilled octopus was excellent as were the calamari fries and peppers dish. Service was also excellent. Just the right blend of attention and lack of to allow myself and my date enjoy the beautiful sunset and evening.

   Service was excellent! Food was delicious. The only negative (which may be due to the recent storms) was that the ladies bathroom had a horrible sulfur-like smell. Otherwise, it was wonderful.

   It was beautiful! Our waitress was very attentive. We went on NYE, so we could only order from the set menu. It wasn’t a problem we just weren’t aware.

    We booked New Year’s Eve as we were staying in Tampa prior to boarding a cruise. At no point was we made aware that the menu was a special menu @$150 per head. On arrival we were told no other option available so we went ahead. The service was excellent as you would expect however the food was awful and not worth the money. To simply provide a crab claw on a bed of ice and say that’s a starter is bizarre🤦‍♂️. The rest of the meal did not improve and overall a huge disappointment and overall experience was not worth the cost of the meal + tax + service charge. Only positive was seeing the raccoons on the way to the restaurant in the hotel grounds 🦝 Would not go back

    I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience with us on New Year's Eve. I can understand your frustration, especially since you were expecting a different dining experience. We strive to provide the highest quality food and service, and it’s clear we fell short in both areas during your visit. The special menu for the evening was intended to create a unique celebration for our guests, but I regret that the dishes did not meet your expectations. Your comments regarding the stone crab starter and overall meal quality have been noted and I’ll be sure to share this feedback with our culinary team. Please reach out to our management team directly, we would love the opportunity to make things right and restore your trust in us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
