The Rooster and the Till is an absolute gem. Small and intimate neighborhood vibe. The food is eclectic and excellently prepared. Service was outstanding as well. Our goal was to find a restaurant that steps well outside the typical American fare… The Rooster and the Till really hit the mark.

I love this restaurant but this experience had some issues. First of all, 3 1/2 hours for six courses is way too long. The food was mixed. The persimmons, ravioli, and panettone were all great. The prawn was also excellent but seriously one shrimp that I waited a half hour+ for. The pork collar was very tough. I don’t think I was the only one who thought that as I saw a lot of dishes going back to the kitchen with half eaten collars. I will definitely return but I don’t think I would go back for another guest chef dinner.

The food was excellent and the drinks were good. It was tough to find from the street because signage was lacking and it was dark. Service was pleasant and knowledgeable.

We were visiting Tampa and the Restaurant came highly recommended by a friend that is a Chef/ in the biz. We got a counter seat to watch the action. We picked a five course meal. They serve family style and to pace. Not overly pretentious. The opener and closer stood out although everything was excellent. The Hamachi and Pumpkin Panna Cotta will be hard to forget.
