Horrible service (took an hour to get food). Horrible food (these people can't even make a pizza correctly). In other words, your typical Tampa restaurant experience.

We waited 45 minutes for breakfast. Then received some powdered eggs, microwaved bacon and soft soggy potatoes. This place (at least for breakfast) is essentially the free Continental breakfast at a chain hotel, but a much higher cost in time and $.

Visited this restaurant with a friend before going to see a show at the Straz and really enjoyed my experience! The fried deviled eggs are good and the waiter was kind enough to whip up an Arnold Palmer when it's not typically on their menu. The bartender (?) also kind! Incredible service and lovely servers - very much recommend.

Found a jewel in downtown Tampa! The food was great, the jerk salmon, lemon pepper rubbed chicken wings and those deviled eggs...Magic...!! Hotel restaurants are typically not "it, but this one is really worth a stop. JAVEN in the bar was a breath of fresh air! Professional, poised, and prepared!! I enjoyed myself and will be back soon!

A Culinary Gem in Tampa: GAUDINMy evening at GAUDIN, kitchen and bar in Tampa, was an extraordinary experience that went beyond my expectations. The ambiance of the place immediately enveloped me in a sense of elegance yet comfort, setting a fantastic tone for the night.The service was impeccable, with Xavian, the bartender, playing a pivotal role in making my visit exceptional. His outstanding service, coupled with a genuinely warm personality, made me feel welcomed and well-cared for throughout our meal.A highlight of my visit was the food, particularly the jerk salmon with coconut rice and brussels sprouts. It was a dish that captured the essence of culinary artistry. Each flavor was perfectly balanced, creating a symphony of taste that was simply outstanding. The salmon was cooked to perfection, and the coconut rice and brussels sprouts complemented it beautifully. The food was so mesmerizing that I completely forgot to take a picture, a rare occurrence for an avid food lover like me!Adding to the fantastic dining experience was the bartender, who was a delightful blend of a comedian, musician, and an all-around good guy with an infectious energy. His presence added a layer of joy and entertainment to our evening, making it even more memorable.In essence, GAUDIN is not just a kitchen and bar; it's a place where every element converges to create a remarkable experience. The staff, especially Xavian and the multi-talented bartender, truly make GAUDIN stand out with their enthusiasm and ability to connect with guests, turning a simple meal into an unforgettable event.If you're in Tampa, GAUDIN is a must-visit spot. It's a place where you'll leave with not just a satisfied palate but also a heart full of joy and memories to cherish. Five stars hardly seem enough for this incredible establishment. Thank you Xavian.

Went here after Gasparilla and stayed the whole weekend including the comedy show! The food is far better than you think I would eat here even if I wasn't staying at the hotel. The service was over the top friendly and accommodating! Ask for Javen he made my birthday weekend one I won't be forgetting for a long time. I look forward to coming back in a few months

Located inside the Barrymore Hotel this quaint restaurant and bar offers a casual on site option for dinner and drinks. The menu selection is more limited than offsite restaurants, as one would expect for a hotel restaurant, but still sufficient offerings to satisfy most preferences. The cocktail menu looked enticing, all the standard bar offerings, but the wine choice was more limited on the mid-range by the glass (just my opinion). The service was excellent! Quick to take drink orders and food was very well done.

This is definitely one of Tampa's hidden gems! Located in one of the hotels across from the Tampa River Walk, accessible to most of the downtown strip, let's just say I'm glad I found them today! From awesome service to one of the best burgers along the River Walk, they are no holds bar when it comes to the drinks either! They had a comedy show, and one of the opening acts was one of the bar tenders, and he didn't disappoint! Great vibes, awesome location, and really good food!

It took 45 minutes for our food to come out, and then the food was horribly disappointing. The $19 bagel with smoked salmon was only 1/2 of a bagel, the salmon was not smoked salmon, it was cooked and weirdly sweet, the bagel wasn’t toasted. The potatoes were cold and almost raw, they seemed boiled but as if they had never been in a skillet. All the food was cold.My dad was served coffee in a mug with a sugar wrapper in the bottom and lipstick on the rim.The grits were good. The waitress was polite and the atmosphere was ok.

Amazing cocktail fresh made! Nice ambiance and relaxing atmosphere! The waitress is very friendly. We felt very welcomed! Connected to the Barrymore hotel. I recommended. It's open until 1am!
