The one item that every restaurant in every Marriott from Tampa to Cairo should master is the lowly hamburger. Sadly, this outpost failed, serving a burned hockey puck of a burger with the wrong toppings to boot. And this was not the only error in our party's meal. Service was friendly and responsive, but the kitchen needs to up their game.
Great view of the waterway. Nice offering of food and beverages. Convenient to the JW Marriot across the street.
We ordered the seafood tower! It was amazing however the lobster was overcooked and they didn't remove the lobster's digestive tract. The waitress put another order of lobster tails for us and they were properly cooked and cleaned! Staff was great and we would return!
Ate here multiple times during our stay. Everything we ordered was outstanding. Great service. Loved the setting. I would highly recommend and would eat here again when I go back to Tampa.
Absolutely beautiful waterfront setting with AMAZING food! I loved my fresh ceviche and our waitress recommended the grilled avocado and it was OUTSTANDING! We loved our cocktails and our server. We would highly recommend this restaurant and even considered coming back the very next day.
Very much enjoyed my evening here. The only thing is that the food is very expensive and the reservation I made specifically asked for a dining table on the Riverwalk and we were initially denied that despite there being an open table and was told that “ another reservation asked for that table specifically, although mine did as well and I was there early. They ended up seating us at the coffee table on the Riverwalk which is fine for drinks, but not for dining (hence the specific request for the dining table). Fortunately, the second of those two dining tables on the Riverwalk opened up and our server moved us. The ambience here is great. The food was delicious, and our server, Castle, was above and beyond. Will definitely ask for cast next time! My only suggestion would be to get real dining tables out on the Riverwalk!
10/10 ... Every was amazing, from the food, to the drinks, and of course that beautiful view. Must TRY!
Great little outdoor restaurant and bar right on the Tampa Riverwalk. Bar seating, table seating, and lounge seating right by the walk. Service is very good. The bar is fully stocked and the bartenders make excellent cocktails.

The place was nice, food was great but above all our waitress, Maria, did an excellent job to make sure we had everything we needed, very impressed by her work ethic!

Before we got seated, we asked the host to get us a table and we are only getting coffee to start the day and that we are using our $30 credit for being a resident. After being seated, the server told us we had to order full meal or step away when we said we were only hoping to get coffee because the restaurant was expecting high volumes (despite the fact that we were already seated). She passive aggressively asked us to order food or go get coffee at the cafe (where we were told many times that the credit is illegible). We ended up having to ask for the coffee to go and the service was extremely slow and sub-par. This is not acceptable, especially for hotel guests with food credit that you are advertising for part of your service. We are extremely disappointed and disheartened by this experience.

We were very impressed, especially after reading many negative reviews. We were Celebrating our 12 year Wedding Anniversary and from the moment we checked in to be seated outside, we were welcomed and sat in a Booth closest to the water. The ambiance was exquisite. Our Server was terrific. We shared the Grouper Dip, my husband had the Crab Cake and I had the Salmon and Jasmine rice. We also shared the Crème Brûlée Cheesecake. Everything was so delicious and recommend it all. We had an amazing experience and will definitely be back,

Worst service I have experienced in Tampa. We were yelled at by a staff member, and another waitress rolled her eyes when I told her about our experience. Management should be ashamed of their staff.
Restaurant was nice, food & drinks were good. However had the worst service from our server Yaritza, we had a party of 6 so not sure if it was because 20% was already included or she is normally so rude and absolutely dismissive. After waiting 25 min to be greeted when she was taking our drink order I asked if we could order as well as we were ready went back and forth saying she’d come back.. when she brought waters, I asked for a soda water instead, I had to proceed and ask a total of 4 times for it again before it was actually brought and hr and a half later, after 3 reminders you’d think there would be a some sense of urgency.. still took anther 10min..
she never apologize once for everything she forgot or certain peoples plates coming out 20min later than others, never refilled waters or drinks we had to continue to flag her down, which was hard as the restaurant was outdoors however she spent most of the time inside, wasn’t super busy but sadly our table was extremely disappointed with the lack of service, such a nice restaurant not sure how she is able to get away treating patrons like this.
