About Howard & Platt

Howard & Platt is a new restaurant in Tampa, Florida, that has quickly become a favorite for many. The restaurant offers a lively and vibrant atmosphere with beautiful decor and a fun vibe, especially in the South Howard district. Although the lighting was a bit too white during a late visit, the overall ambiance is inviting and suitable for both date nights and casual outings. Parking on-site is ample, making it convenient for guests.

The menu features a variety of dishes that receive high praise. Appetizers like the rainbow roll, hamachi crudo, garlic pull apart, and fried calamari are highly recommended, with many noting their exceptional quality and flavors. The rainbow roll is described as melting in the mouth, while the hamachi crudo offers nice meaty pieces with a crisp yuzu and jalapeño that are just the right amount of spice. The garlic bread was cooked to perfection, with a delicious Alfredo-like sauce.

Entrees such as the seared scallops and Mediterranean chicken are standout choices. The scallops are seared perfectly with a nice edge, and the chicken is slightly sweet and cooked to perfection, though some found the cold orzo less appealing. The restaurant also serves a variety of drinks; some found the cocktails a bit expensive and too sweet, but others enjoyed their Manhattan.

Howard & Platt’s attentive and professional service, especially from servers like Fran, Alex, Nate, and Lindsey, enhances the dining experience. Many visitors appreciate the thoughtful kids’ menu and accommodating staff. For dessert, the monster brookie and espresso are highly recommended, adding a sweet ending to the meal. Overall, Howard & Platt offers delicious food, great drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests eager to return.

Pretty great!
New restaurant added to the rotation!

Loved the appetizers! We got the rainbow roll, hamachi crudo, and the garlic pull apart! All three were AMAZING!! The rainbow was my fave, the pieces melted in your mouth. My boyfriend’s favorite was the crudo. He orders that at every restaurant we go to, and this one was exceptional! Nice meaty pieces in the perfectly crisp yuzu and the jajelpeno provided just enough without being overwhelming! The garlic bread was also amazing....read full review
My wife and I tried Howard & Platt for the first time last night for date night. We knew it would be good, but we weren’t expecting it to be THAT good.

The aesthetics were on point, the drinks were great, and the food was incredible (get the crispy rice). But the service deserves praise all on its own. Francesca and Dave were class all the way—welcoming, attentive, and made the entire evening feel special.

This might be our new favorite spot. Already looking...read full review
