So we have visited now a few times when in Tampa. My wife and I live over 2 hours away but we would definitely make a special trip here as the last 2 times we happened to be in Tampa either for business or a family function when we stopped in. The drink quality is outstanding and although we only had lite bites the few times we were there, the food quality is definitely elevated. Plus they have great live music particularly on Saturday nights. We wish they had a place like this where we live. Definitely recommend checking CWs out. You won’t be disappointed.

We had a great experience sitting at the bar. We went on a weeknight around 6 pm. It wasn't too crowded but as the night went on, it got increasingly busy. Renee our bartender was informative and attentive.
I had the filet mignon and it was perfectly cooked - med rare. Hubby had the huge pork chop. And he ate the whole thing! We loved it so much we went back the next night for drinks and appetizers.

The experience based on design and food was amazing. Everything was specially crafted and cooked to perfection. The only complaint was that 20% tip that was automatically added to individual bills so if you're not looking you will pay tips twice. So be warned. When you pay the final amount I don't think we should be asked to pay and additional tip if it was already include for you.

This place is not that expensive. I had the LOCAL GREENS SALAD for $12 and it hit the spot. Live music too (piano and percussion) and it wasn't too loud. Nice evening!

The drinks here are amazing. The food was bland, overpriced and it took over an hour for our table to get our food. We had a table of 8 and was given 3 small bread rolls for the entire table. (Also to mention, the bread rolls cost $11.00.) The vibe and atmosphere is refreshing and the live music was entertaining. I would definitely recommend having drinks here with a group of friends as a kick back, but as for food... get some good eats for your hard earned bucks elsewhere.

From the moment we stepped through the two heavy speakeasy-style French doors, we knew the vibes were going to be something special. The place is absolutely picturesque, and the atmosphere checked every single box. The live entertainment? Honestly, they deserve a signing deal with a major music mogul (not gaslighting)!
Moving on, so we showed up naively without a reservation (rookie move), but the security guard, whose name I sadly didn’t catch, was an absolute legend. She suggested we join the waitlist, and after about 20 minutes enjoying some delicious drinks at the bar, our luck really turned.
Ebben, who I believe is the manager, was the true hero here! The guy wasted no time squeezing us six girls into the perfect spot (we made friends with two other patrons while we waited turning our party of 4 into 6)! Ebben was upfront and clear with us stating we had about an hour before our table needed to be freed up for a later reservation who had confirmed arrival. No stress, just straightforward and kind.
And then there was our waiter, Logan (an attractive human being) with thee best attitude. He knew exactly what to suggest to maximize our short time and curated the perfect bites for us. The shrimp bisque was so flavorful I’m still dreaming about it, and the Rockefeller oysters were so fresh and yummy that I had to order seconds.
All in all, the experience was a solid 10/10, but it wouldn’t have been the same without the incredible team behind the scenes and our new faves, Ebben, Logan, and that security guard. They truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure we had an epic night. Good karma coming your way! **(Ebben even came outside and took our pictures for us while we waited on our ride service!)

I took my lady out for a great dinner and live music and they did not disappoint! Our server Joey, was amazing! He provided great service, knowledgeable of the menu, knew customer favorites and was attentive to help steer us to our drink and dinner selections! Also, the performers were great and friendly. I did take requests from customers as well. Overall great experience and plan to go back.
This place is amazing, my first time going and I will be going back. Live music set the mood, and the food was amazing.
