Our server Micheal was INCREDIBLE. He made the evening amazing. Event though the quality of the food spoke for itself. Michael made us feel welcome and not rushed.

This place holds a special place in my heart. We have celebrated so many milestones at this restaurant (last night we were celebrating my sister) and the food and attention did not disappoint. We don’t drink and it seems it’s usually judged a bit but our server was so lovely about it, didn’t try to sell things we would not go for. We did end up ordering some of his recommendations. The one dish we keep on repeat when we go is the Spanish Octopus, it is absolutely outstanding, the octopus is tender and flavorful. Last night we added the Mushroom truffle pizza, Chicken Marsala, and Scottish salmon. Every single dish was so deliciously perfect. Lastly, desert we had Mango gelato. I am sorry I do not remember the name of our server so I can sing more praises to him because it was a truly lovely mother, daughter’s evening and he was on point, allowing us to enjoy our time together..The only note I have which I almost don’t want to mention but my mom was a little bothered by the music last night. We thought the indoor music was a little loud.Parking: Not many free parking options, but there are plenty of parking lots around $10 on a Friday night with no special events.Wheelchair accessibility: I am not a wheelchair user, but the restaurant is mostly flat, making it easy to access. Table separation seemed appropriate to navigate.

I had a great time here. Stopped in for lunch. The roasted red pepper and eggplant dish were a must. My server, Micheal, was knowledgeable, attentive and took extra effort when packing things to go after I ordered too much.

Me and my friends came on a Friday night. We ordered our drinks to start which didn’t take long. The real issue was the wait for our food. Once 45 min hit the manager Matt came over and offered us a free appetizer & round of shots. The shots took a little bit of time but I could tell there was a lot going on. Our server was rarely around. The real turning point was the food quality. The food is excellent & that’s what really made up for the 1 hour wait on our food. Matt made sure we were taken care of and was very understanding. I definitely will consider coming back because of the atmosphere and food.

Had a 5pm reservation and we opted to sit at the outside tables as there was a slight breeze in the air, not too hot. Our server, Destiny, was incredibly knowledgeable on all dishes with personal recommendations. She is what servers should strive to be like. Just a positive, upbeat attitude and making sure her customers are having an unforgettable experience.Now for the food. The top 3 sections of the menu are considered appetizers. But we tried the seared pork belly, octopus, braised lamb on pita, and charcuterie board (meat and cheese). All were amazing! Some of the entrees at our table were the pork chop, gulf fish, burger, and Chicken Marsala. My favorite out of all was actually the pork chop. Not many people cook pork chops correctly (usually overcooked), but this was cooked to PERFECTION. Juicy inside and well seasoned. One of the best tasting chops I've ever had, hands down.Lastly, all of us were stuffed but we insisted on trying the toffee cake. Let me tell you, this was the highlight of my experience here. I should've started with that then had my appetizers/entree. The whole table raved. Please do yourself a favor and make sure to try this delicious bite. The warm, flavorful bite of cake punches you with immediate happiness. The side of vanilla bean ice cream we ordered perfectly complemented the warm cake. Then you spoon over a bit of that toffee sauce on the plate and it's really the most perfect dessert bite you will ever have.We are still talking about this cake btw. Lol

One of the absolute staples of Tampa at this point. Menu doesnt miss from top to bottom. Price point as expected for quality and service. I'd recommend Brussels, Carrots, Hanger steak and Sticky Toffee Pudding.
