    Came here on a family vacation and forgot my wallet. The server found it and put it up for me and everything was still in there. There are still good people in this world and they work here. Thank you! P.s. the food was DELICIOUS

    We had a reservation for 7:40. We arrived at 7:40 and we were told we’d have to sit outside. So we took the table and waited. We waited for 25 minutes, then asked the hostess if we were going to have a server. She came back and took our order. 10 minutes later we were served drinks. 20 minutes after that we received our food. We had a Cuban and buffalo shrimp. The food was very good. We ate and waited. Our server never returned, so we went to the bar and paid our tab. So yeah, we won’t be back.

    We brought in a bunch of fish we had caught and the chef Paul cooked it all up for us! He came out to our table and gave some recommendations on how it should be cooked and which sides would go well with it all. And it turned out AMAZING. One of the best meals I’ve ever had. Thanks again Paul for making it such a great experience!

    When you live in Harbour Island in Tampa and your just not feeling like taking the arduous 10 minute walk over the bridge to the many channelside food options and you can't even do the 6 minute walk to American Social (super noisy) or Jackson's (expensive), well this 3 minute walk is made for you. It's a nice spot right on the river directly across from the Amelia arena. Tables both outside and inside with open air. Simple but diverse menu - couple of chops, fish, pasta, burger. Slightly over priced for the portion but just super convenient and pretty peaceful. Can't say I love the people that bring their dogs to sit outside with them but, it is a very good choice.

    I am so sad to say this place has gone downhill over the years. What happened? I used to love to come here, but not anymore. The brussels were still good but the rest of what we ordered was very bland. The chicken had a strange texture and taste and I couldn't even finish my meal. The drinks were flat. Ordered a Moscow Mule that was flat and overly sweet..no copper cup either. The view is nice but that is about it. Service was slow and never removed plates from the table. For the quality and service it is so overpriced. Regretfully spent over $100 on a disappointing Mother's Day meal. Sadly we will not return here anymore.

    Great location across from the water! Food was amazing! I got the homemade hummus for an appetizer. It was delicious and came with red pepper, feta, caramelized onions and olives. I got the shrimp tacos for my meal and they were the best I ever had. The Hemingway martini was also really good. The staff were super friendly. All in all, it was a wonderful experience!

    They have a great view and atmosphere. Unfortunately we went here on a Friday night and they sat us when they probably shouldn’t. The server was so busy, she never returned after our food was served. The food was hot and very good. The bench we sat on had torn cushions and no back just wood. Not very comfortable. Id like to try it again when it’s less busy.

    Used to love this place but last time we went every item wasn’t very good at all. We got a lot of things on the menu and didn’t like anything except the drinks.

    A great little place to eat the food was excellent. Also it seems to be a place that's friendly to dogs, and it has outdoor eating

    Great food and good prices! St. Louis ribs, crab rangoon nachos, mac and cheese, drinks...it was a great time!

    Great experience and quality food that tasted amazing! Loved their happy hour options too. Nice place close to the water.

    I just ordered takeout and got a burger with fries and an order of wings, it’s all outstanding! If you try this place out, there’s a good chance you might interact with Melissa, she works behind the bar and is amazing! I haven’t been here in over six months, and she remembered my face when I came in, that type of customer service, you don’t find often! Can’t wait to go back!

    Amazing food, charming atmosphere and attentive staff. Great cocktails, too. Second time coming here and I will definitely come here again.

    Had a wonderful meal there before the Bolts game. Baked goat cheese app was delicious. Had never considered pairing goat cheese with marinara but will certainly do it in the future. My burger and my wife’s Bolognese were both top notch. Staff was friendly and attentive.

    Great location, quaint little spot near the waterfront with tasty food and good customer service! Definitely make reservations, the place is small…which is nice. Food was well-prepared…steak was cooked perfectly…and nicely salted. Definitely recommend this place!

    Great food, awesome happy hour, lovely little waterside spot. Jen H in particular is absolutely fabulous- excellent service with a warm and welcoming vibe. Try the smokey margarita- *delicious*!

    Cafe restaurant on harbor island where the locals hang out with the neighbors and the passersby alike. I was disappointed that their menu is changed from what's it's shown in the restaurant profile. Beautiful view of downtown Tampa and the waterfront.

    I asked for Baileys on the rocks and they gave me something else. Either they mixed it with cream or they are putting cheaper Irish cream inside a Baileys bottle. The taste and the color were off. I added photos so you can see how light the drink was compared to the color it should be. If you know your drinks and you suspect they gave you something else, they probably did. And they charged for Baileys as well. That’s against the law and hope they get caught if I’m right. I was a cocktail server for 20 years and that’s my main drink and I know that was definitely not Baileys. The one photo is my drink and the other two are examples of the real Baileys. I even took out the ice right away and it wasn’t that either.

    We went there after a Bush Gardens day and it was very relaxing and great to have the waterfront vibes. Plus that happy hour was very nice ! Service was good and efficient. Great drinks and nice menu- we had the local shrimp tacos with Truffles Fries ( I had better truffle fries) and the Dufrain Steak burger with the truffle Brussels sprout…. and they were the bomb! Will come back- that Smokey Margarita was « FIRE » very unique and spicy, and the Dufrain Royal cocktail delicious.

    Fantastic waterfront cafe with a lovely interior and professional staff. Our group of three ordered the steak burger, cali chicken sandwhich, and the veggie burger (me). All three were very enjoyable, with amazing flavors and great chips on the side. The veggie burger specifically was fantastic and didn't try to mimic meat, which I personally really like. I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

    The fried rice was amazing! I'd order it again and again.

    We went with a party of seven and no one loved anything they ordered. It’s too bad because the outdoor seating is lovely. Our waitress was distracted and forgot an entire meal for someone at the table. While waiting for our table we tried to get drinks at the bar, but the people behind the bar said they weren’t making any drinks…seemed odd because we were able to get drinks at our table.

  • 5/5 EVNT PHOTOBOOTH CO Tampa & Pinellas, F. 2 years ago on Google
    I had so much fun providing our Photobooth services to a holiday party this past weekend. The staff was the best & most attentive of any event venue I have ever been to as a vendor. Every single one of them was so kind & full of positive energy. Highly recommend this event venue mainly because they have incredible staff & you can’t beat the view of the city. 👏
