Boisterous - We were looking for a place to get some food and a drink before a performance at the Straz so we tried Gaudin’s. Two tables of about 10 people kept the noise level above 85dB. Meanwhile the bar staff were MIA. After 15 minutes we flagged down a bar tender and ordered drinks and a quesadilla (which was actually good). Free cheese and deli meat were good, as were the drinks. We think it could be a reasonable place for a snack and drink prior to a show at the Straz. What we don’t know, is this a regular “watering hole” for a boisterous crowd – if so it’s not a place to go.

Party of 6. Very well take care of. The wings were by far the biggest in town, we got them plain and with buffalo, both were delicious. The pretzel was good, Caesar salad is HUGE with crostini that were also delicious. French dip and Mac and cheese both good, the smash burger and chicken with waffles equally delicious. Would definitely recommend and will be back. The staff were amazing attentive but not “clingy” Camilla was our server and was excellent!!

The wings were excellent, and the smash burger was equally impressive—definitely a reliable choice. The customer service was great, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout the visit.

We stayed at the Barrymore on a Wednesday. They had a lovely reception hosted here. The food was amazing, the drinks were great, and Juan gave the absolute best service! I highly recommend! We will be back!

The staff in restaurant and front desk. Have always been above and beyond. I’ve been coming here since 2022 and always choose this place over 20 times Superb.

Dinner was something a worn out mother might have thrown on the table in the 1950s. Terrible - small piece of chicken, completely overcooked Mac-n-cheese and broccoli. Just awful. Eat anywhere else. Service was friendly though.

Arrived before 9am for breakfast. Waited almost an hour and a half for our food to arrive. Our party had to flag a waitress down to check on our food. Once it arrived it was cold and congealed. Not sure if the staff was overwhelmed with how busy it was but we were very unhappy with the service we experienced here.
Hidden gem for sure. The deviled eggs (deep fried with blackened shrimp on top) were amazing, drinks were tasty and strong, and our bartender (Juan, I think) was great. Will be back!

Mohammed the food and beverage manager went above and beyond when I was a guess there. Also Camilla is the best bartender!!

Great staff and vibe at this sweet little spot in the lobby of The Barrymore Hotel right around the corner from The Straz in downtown Tampa! We had the charcuterie and old fashioneds. A great spot for a light dinner before the show with a reasonably priced menu. We did top it off with their scrumptious chocolate cake served with ice cream…yumm yumm! Amy and Camilla (?) were terrific servers, especially considering how busy the cafe was! Good job everyone! PS— wish I had grabbed a pic of the beautiful chocolate cake!!
