“Been on my list for a while. Not disappointed. Large portions, enough for two meals. The very attractive Christina served us with excellent service..,(call me 😉🤫). Extremely friendly, not only to us, but to everyone in the place. Sadly, only visiting a short time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“love it here, super casual, live music, good food..what's not to like.“

“Are kids welcome here?“

“We really enjoy Trivia Night. However, service is poor. We visit every Wednesday with our family. This past week was the worst service I’ve ever experienced. I was alone for a bit this week and had my laptop and books spread out on the table. It was impossible not to notice my setup. The waitress had one other table and it was right next to me. I waited over 30 minutes before going inside and ordering a drink. She said she didn’t see me. We made eye contact multiple times. I’m sure she probably thought the big party was a big tip. However, the rest of my family was joining me. We tip well, so definitely her loss.“

“had a great time, drinks were awesome, zoe was super nice!“

“St. Pete—Literally sitting at dinner now, & our server, Enzo, has been absolutely WONDERFUL. He’s kind, knowledgable & engaging with his tables—all things I love to see in customer service areas (it can be such a lost concept!) We love Olivia (their arancini is the best we’ve ever had && my husband & I each get our own), but I’d request to sit in Enzo’s section if he’s working in the future.“

“My gf and I have been here around 5 - 6 times now and I have to say def one of the most unique experiences Tampa has to offer. We love just going to a fancy bar and grabbing a bunch of drinks but Tanto is much more than that. It is a curated experience from the minute you walk in. The ambiance and the aesthetic of the place is gorgeous dark and sultry with a gorgeous bar. Also, the drinks are so unique and flavor packed. The servers and bartenders are exceptional. Truly, a unique experience where each volume carries a whole new atmosphere to the place. Very excited to keep coming back and trying new things!“

“Nice relaxing atmosphere for drinks and cigars. Simon really took care of us first time patrons. KY Sigmas approved.“

“Alyssa at the bar was AMAZING. She did a phenomenal job at recommending some scrumptious food and made a banging mimosa. Definitely appreciate talking to a local who can give us recommendations on attractions and good times. Also, Bora was awesome and made it a point to stop by and speak to us at the bar. Will definitely be back next time we're in Tampa.“

“It’s a whole vibe. There is something for everyone.“

“Coyote friendly menu and great beers.“

“🤤🤗Amazing lunch at On Swann in Tampa today! They accommodated us with a lovely outdoor table for our dog Sofie. After our meal, our amazing server Caroline surprised us with a complimentary Bourbon Bread Pudding, which was incredible! Finishing up our Tampa tourist adventure.“

“Went here with a friend of mine (me for the first time, she’s a repeat offender lol).
Cheese board was good, I really liked the
Sage cheddar, sweet coppa, soppressata and honied sticky figs, spicy pickled beets (and I’m usually not a huge beet person) & the sweety drop peppers (they’re very crunchy thanks to the seeds in them)

Desserts we’ve tried (see photos)
1. champagne + strawberry cheesecake
2. b+b seasonal bread pudding
3. chocolate pistachio torte“

“Went there yesterday with my husband and daughters. That was by far the best pizza I've had!!!! The owner was soo nice & we promised we'd leave a review about the pizza & not the bathroom that's getting remodeled!!! Lol“

“Great wines...service... food..and always a good time!“

“Armature Works is one of the most dynamic and visually striking venues we’ve had the pleasure of performing at! The riverfront views, industrial-chic vibes, and modern amenities create such a cool and unforgettable atmosphere. The events team is professional, efficient, and great to collaborate with—making every event run smoothly from soundcheck to final song!“

“I recommend y'all come down and PARTY!!! Becca like Bacon. We can't can't enough. Really have a great time, Everytime. Really.“

“This place is special! I went to check the food truck (Got Lobster), and stayed for over an hour just hanging out with all the pups running around and having fun. It was so relaxing and fun!“

“Excellent place!!! Great atmosphere!! Service is fantastic, especially Nic!!“

“Tuesday Trivia Night was AWESOME!!! ...and they have food now! Love this bar!!!“

“This place is stupid good. I don't even know the name of what I ordered, it was one of the first things on there. Got it with grilled chicken and the layered pancakes. Make sure you get extra sauce on the side. Get a green tea. I've never been, but it felt like I popped into someplace in Tokyo and had some local food. You order everything by yourself on the screen as soon as you walk in, then they call your name when it's ready. Seating for about eight groups of people or so. Go there immediately.“

“We probably came at a bad time. Our experience was dull, it reeked of cigarette smoke. The food was not bad. 1 guy working the whole thing so gotta give him props for doing a good job cooking AND serving ppl. We got full rack of ribs. Was not bad at all. Would be nice if they got something to keep the flies away.“

“Ok your on the water....geart!
Food the Cuban sandwich excellent with (crispy...yes crispy) fries. Do you know how many places can't do crispy? Well a lot. If there's fries involved that's how I roll. Pricing is responsible for what you get. I well def be back.“

“Went for open mic... great people! Warm and welcoming!“

“Go see LIV at Corner Bar Soho if you’re in the Tampa area!!! Hands down best bartender, she’s always smiling and is a sweetheart!!!“

“Exceptional in everything!! Jacoby was our server. He was attentive, personable, informative regarding all aspects of the menu and had an amazing personality!! The food is always amazing and did not disappoint this time either! The hostess was friendly and personable! Thank you for being a classy, family friendly restaurant in Yibor City! We will return and ask to be seated with Jacoby!!“

“After a long week of working and lifeing , Are you looking for a family friendly, fun, great place to spend unwind, with great food and great music. Well, you have found it. Come out on Friday and unwind with, “DJ Chill Will” who does Karaoke and it is amazing. Give yourself a break and put it ln your calendar to be a part of a great place to be on Friday nights.“

“This will always be my go-to bar. I'm a local. I love everybody in there and everybody loves me. When I first moved to Ybor City I went to an Italian restaurant and a guy in there said son. You really want to get a a drink at the Rez, at the time I really didn't understand what that meant and then I figured it out when I have been going there for the last 19 months. It really is One of a kind 💯❤️🥰“

“Very active place with lots of pool games going on would definitely recommend!!!!“

“Delicious breakfast!! The omelet was light, fluffy and absolutely perfect! The pancakes are my favorite dish so I order them every time we have brunch at Oxford Exchange- they never disappoint!!!. The service is great! My husband is quite selective about restaurants but he is always happy to go to Oxford Exchange!“

“Our server, Mili, was outstanding!! Extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. I had the smoke brisket melt with mac and cheese and my bride had pulled pork mac and cheese. Then to top it all off we shared the turtle brownie sundae. Every morsel, of everything, was over the top! Absolutely delicious!!!! I also told the manager how delighted we were of the entire experience!! Can't return soon enough!! Thanks, Mili!!! UDABEST!!“

“Had the taco trio; pork beef and brisket. “Shia la Beef” (brisket) was my favorite but all were fantastic! Chips and queso were bland to me but I added pico and ate with my tacos. Ah-mazing nonalcoholic horchata and great friendly staff that took care to avoid my avocado allergy. Wonderful 🤌“

“A real BAR“

“A couple of nights ago was our first time at Predalina after their interior remodel, and it definitely did not disappoint. Our server, Julio, and the team took excellent care of us and made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. I really enjoyed the Lou Lou Cosmo, which was a fun and unexpected favorite, and the espresso martini was absolutely delicious. For dinner, we had the bronzino fillets with sides: roasted mushrooms and spinach ~ everything was perfectly prepared, but the roasted mushrooms deserve a special highlight. They were so, so good. We started with the charred cauliflower with macadamia nuts, and it was a fantastic appetizer. For dessert, the Phyllo Crunch was outstanding, especially with the 3 generous scoops of ice cream from Chill Bros, right next door. Highly recommend the dessert and everything mentioned above! What truly stood out was the attention to service. The manager, Lindsay, stopped by our table at the end of the night to make sure everything was to our satisfaction~ and it absolutely was. We shared feedback about the beautiful new remodel and complimented the great service, which she was genuinely happy to hear. She mentioned that her goal is for Predalina to have the best service in Tampa, and based on our experience, they are well on their way.“

“Food is great! The view of the water is very nice and the drinks at the bar are tasty. The apps are so good. Wish the service was a bit faster but they get very very busy especially on the weekend! Also wish it wasn’t so loud but I do love to come here on calmer days where the sound is down. Food is definitely worth it.“

“Cute spot with a beautiful view of Tampa. The cocktails were delicious, and the service was perfect! Good environment good music“

“Awesome every visit, will be back again, and again.“

“If you’re looking for a rooftop lounge with an amazing atmosphere, incredible food, and a fun crowd, this is definitely a spot to visit.

The location is perfect for a night out, especially if you’re visiting Tampa. I was in town for the Kanye West concert, and this ended up being one of the highlights of my trip. The crowd was diverse, trendy, energetic, and just an overall vibe. There were plenty of servers throughout the lounge, so the service was attentive and the atmosphere made it easy to relax, enjoy the music, and soak in the city views.

Now let’s talk about the food… absolutely phenomenal! The Artichoke & Crab Dip is hands down the best I’ve ever had. It was rich, creamy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the toasted bread.

The Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls were equally impressive. They came with a coconut dipping sauce that honestly looked like applesauce at first, but don’t let that fool you. The sauce had the perfect touch of sweetness that balanced the bold jerk seasoning beautifully. The sweet and savory combination was incredibly well executed, making every bite absolutely delicious.

The cocktails were refreshing, beautifully presented, and fit the upscale rooftop vibe perfectly.

The only hiccup of the evening was that three different servers told us the kitchen had stopped serving food at 9 p.m. We later noticed other guests continuing to receive food, so we spoke with the manager. He immediately apologized for the misunderstanding, handled the situation professionally, and graciously comped our drinks. I really appreciated how quickly management made things right, and it didn’t take away from what was otherwise an outstanding experience.

Overall, this lounge delivered on every level…great food, great drinks, a beautiful rooftop atmosphere, and excellent customer service. I’ll definitely be back the next time I’m in Tampa. Highly recommend!“

“I placed a to go order and the order taker was very patient since I wasn't sure what I wanted. Its all usually so good. By the time I got there it was pouring and I parked by the curb and the nicest young lady brought me my perfectly packaged and bagged meal. The whole experience was great and she went above and beyond for their customer.!!!“

“We drove 90 miles just to eat at Che Vita again—and this time we brought friends. The food is seriously amazing, and the staff is top-notch, so yeah, we'll definitely be back and telling everyone we know about it. Chef Zaniboni really puts care into every little detail. Our server, Victoria B., was super attentive and warm, and she gave us great recommendations without ever being pushy. The place has such a cozy vibe—perfect for hanging out with friends over a great meal.“

“I find myself at aloft every 2 weeks for work and have been staying at the hotel, off and on for the last 4 months. I have to say that the resilience and service from Liv was exceptional. There was a Christmas party that had ended and she was bombarded by guests. She still managed to serve me and provide conversation, not to mention the 60+ guests that surrounded me. Cheers!“

“District South is the perfect place in a convenient South Tampa location for brunch, lunch and dinner. The menu is full of outstanding dishes for every appetite and combined with a full bar it makes for an outstanding visit. The staff are all superb, professional and friendly, to include Daniela P. who served us recently. Daniela's menu recommendations were perfect and on-point to say the least! We cannot wait to visit again and highly recommend this location to everyone!“

“Easily one of my favorite places to stop when I'm in town. The patrons have a great time and the staff are exceptional. If you like a laid back atmosphere, some good music and just some all out fun and laughter, The Windjammer is definitely a nice spot to visit.“

“Ava was an awesome server, very attentive and great personality. All her recommendations were a 10/10! Enjoyed the guacamole with sweet potato chips, the chimichurri wings, burger with candied bacon and California salad with blacked salmon. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!“

“The staff friendly and nice“

“Wonderful food, service and atmosphere. We will come here often.“
