7 Best Bistros in Tampa

“Friday night with friends, we tried Circles — a cozy little spot tucked away in a small Carrollwood plaza. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and our server, Vaughn, did an outstanding job taking care of us. The menu was impressively diverse with several Asian-inspired dishes. We started with the calamari, fried avocado slices, and dumplings — all delicious and perfectly prepared. The Southwestern soup was spot-on too. For entrées, we had eggplant parmesan, steak and blue cheese salad, and pan-roasted cod — every dish was fresh and flavorful. We didn’t order drinks, but the restaurant has an impressive wine collection and full bar for those who do. Excellent food, great service, and a comfortable atmosphere — we’ll definitely be back!“

“The service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and provided excellent recommendations. However, there were slight delays in getting our orders taken during peak hours, which is understandable given the restaurant's popularity.“

“It's in the hotel lobby. Food was surprisingly good. Was upset I asked for the pasta twice during my two week stay and they were out both times. Little pricey, but I mean it's in a hotel lobby. Perfect for nights you don't want to go anywhere.“

“The room I am in does have a good hot shower, decent bed, Comedy Central works on the TV. It is busy here and do recommend getting here before night fall being parking is tight.“

“I recently celebrated my 50th birthday party in the waterfront room. I can’t say thank you enough for doing a wonderful job. The food was top tier and the service staff were awesome. Nicole , Nick and Uriah went above and beyond . Over all 10/10!!!“

“Outstanding! Outstanding food. Outstanding drinks. Outstanding service. Outstanding ambience! Bravo Rome + Fig!“
