    The waitress was not attentive. We had to keep flagging her to bring things we asked for. She never offered to refill drinks. When we reminded her she had a bit of an attitude.

    Always wonderful service and ambience here. My family and I came in for Saturday brunch and enjoyed the seasonal tasting menu. She always does an amazing job at creating unique and flavorful dishes. Highly recommend!

    Counter Culture is one of the best restaurants in Tampa! The food is amazing, the service is great and it is the perfect place to go out with friends, on a date or to grab a drink. The bar serves delicious cocktails and has a vibrant scene. I go there mostly for dinner but Counter Culture is also well known for their brunches. I have allergies and the chef is easily accommodating without sacrificing the intended interplay of tastes. There is a wide variety of choices on the menu to appeal to all diners. I highly recommend Counter Culture!

    We ordered an omelette and it took over two hours to get to us because they lost our ticket. Service was terrible.

    Interesting menu. A bit limited in choices. Waitress uninformed—blamed lack of knowledge on being new. So why put her out there on her own? Was not busy. A separate bar server messed up the drink order. And the waitress told us a Stellenbosch wine was German! However the food was excellent as was the wine. Ambiance is nice and fun. A lot of buzz !
