"come here if you want to be treated like family!!!if I could give a higher score, I would. I originally saw this place on tiktok and wanted to try because of my flan obsession. My sister and I went… and let me just tell you, we were immediately treated like family. The staff explained the entire menu and we wanted to try everything they suggested. The entire staff are the kindest and most helpful people. We got our apps and entrees and wowowowowow we were blown away. The fried rice is to die for. I think i’ve nearly tried every sandwich (Mojo pork is my personal fav). And the flan!!! I got orange, original, pistachio, nutella, and cafe con leche. All were so so good but the orange really blew me away. In fact, I went back a week later and they had cycled new flavors so the orange wasn’t offered currently. I told Ester (I think that’s how you spell it) that the orange was my absolute favorite and asked when it was coming back. She told me that she would make it later this week and set some aside just for me!!! This place has earned a life long customer."

"I love this load! Not only does it offer many amazing vegan options, but it has so much to offer in form of entertainment. what could be better then order a drink of choice and a delicious vegan tasty like cookies, brownies, etc. and buy for a book to read a movie, or perhaps even a record / cd to hear all those while they have their vegan goodies in the hand to make the experience even better. they also proudly show the happy cow sticker at their door to see how they first go in and that made me extremely excited even before I entered. updated by previous review on 2022-02-15"

"The Tulum quesadilla was fantastic! I needed something quick before heading to work, and it was incredibly satisfying and fresh. The creamy ranch dressing paired well with it, and the avocado dip was also tasty. The kale apple smoothie was delicious as well. I would definitely order from this restaurant again."

"This is an exceptional bakery and ice cream shop. Every ice cream, cake, and cookie is delicious. The owners and staff are both friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a wonderful place to enjoy a treat. Every visit to Desserts by Toffee to Go is a great experience. It's definitely worth going out of your way to visit!"

"This restaurant in Tampa serves the freshest and most delicious food. The owner prepares everything fresh and in a homemade style. My favorite dishes are the beet hummus, falafel, and grape leaves. I have enjoyed every menu item I have tried, as everything is absolutely delicious. This place is a hidden gem located near MacDill, Bayshore, and CAMP. It's perfect for a post-workout lunch or dinner. The portions are generous, so you can always save some for later. I would rate this restaurant a 12/10."

"WOW, best poke bowls in Tampa! My husband and I just came here for the first time today and we had such a wonderful experience. The service from Cam was amazing, he was super knowledgeable on the menu items/ingredients and he was thorough in explaining everything to us since we had never been here before. The food was SO DELICIOUS! Everything was super fresh and the flavors were so complementary to each other 10/10 for sure.They even gave us samples of a mango/strawberry soft serve ice cream that was so yummy as well. Honestly amazing service and the restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated.We live in the Riverview area but we will definitely make the drive to come eat here regularly."

"our dining room experience was exceptional. we had a wonderful waiter. eating was excellent and the ambiente was perfect. our meal for the three of us with the tipp was just over $500. my only complaining is that I am there about 20 minutes early and after check-in with the host I asked if I could go into the bar and get a drink and she said yes. I went into the bar, there were two empty places. I sat on one of the stools and ordered a drink. the bartender was very friendly and nice. Before my drink was delivered, another host came up and asked me if I had set myself and had reservations for the bar? I was surprised because I never heard of this. She told me I had to go. I was insulted and uncomfortable. I asked her what I should do with the drink I had just paid for, and she said I could sit in a small chair in the corner next to the bar or I could wait in the lobby. first I sat in the small stool in the corner and felt very uncomfortable and awkward, especially when I saw others sitting in the load that I had just occupied while loading right next. it remained empty for the better part of 10 minutes. I finally moved into the lobby area with my drink and waited for my guests. Bar seats should come first served and they should never leave a dame after they order a drink and pay for it. I mean, I checked at the Hostess booth and was told I could go into the bar and get a drink. I should've asked if I could have a bar stool to go with my drink."

"Pros: Beautiful restaurant Top-notch service, very attentive servers Mise burger FTW! (Minus the onion ring) calamari was a safe appetizer choice. Rosemary biscuits were yummy. Cons: zucchini blossoms were very oily for my taste. Ribye entree was a mess. No seasoning what so ever on the steak, very chewy. Parsnips were very hard, i couldn’t cut it with my cutlery. Chocolate basque cheesecake dessert: MAJOR LETDOWN! I was looking forward to this dessert but it was quite dense. Basque cheesecake has been trending on social media as the best cheesecake for their luscious light and creamy filling. This was nothing like it. Overall, my friend and I spend over $170 for rather mediocre meal. Just come for the burger, omit the rest."

"Nice, cozy room with a small but well-designed selection of beers. The food is also very good; The starters may seem a little expensive for a gastropub, but for gourmets they are comparable in complexity and taste to dishes in the rich table, a rare find in the outer mission / Bernal. If you are looking for tasty snacks, great cocktails and beer in the neighborhood, I highly recommend this hotel."

"Calamari appetizer was delicious with an Asian fusion twist. Very lightly breaded and sautéed to perfection. The Lobster Bisque soup was gourmet with big chunks of lobster. Yum! The Chilean Sea Bass was light and fresh. The Blackened Red Snapper was well seasoned and enjoyed the palenta base. The Lobster Tail was tasty with clarified butter and asparagus. Dessert was the perfect end to celebrating a birthday by sharing creme brulee with raspberries blueberries and peanut butter cup pie. Justin was an incredible server; he described every menu item, answered our questions and timed our courses perfectly. Thank you for a wonderful evening! We’ll definitely be back"

"Dined at Malios before a performance at Straz. Excellent service, and especially enjoyed the garlic bread, French onion soup and grouper special. The chocolate dessert cake was delish, but large portion so good for sharing. We do plan on dining again at Malios"

"Drinks were great, food was good tomas was great! Barsitz wasn't ideal. The hotel is close to the station was loud and loud. Not ideal for a date with my wife, some end seats were open at the other end of the bar, but we were not offered. I didn't ask for her either. Overall, I would give an 8/10. Only the disadvantage would be the sound, and other people you will enjoy during ordering drinks at the bar while you try to enjoy a meal on a date."

"Food is fabulous. Not a ton of choices, but the selections are varied enough. Only one dessert needed-Whiskey Cake. Great appetizer in candied bacon with aioli also phenomenal. My girlfriend had bacon shrimp and grits and both were super tasty. Even a basic chicken and bacon on sourdough sandwich was super yummy. Food is fresh and from scratch and it’s obvious. Not terribly expensive either. $95 for two drinks, appetizer, two dinner and dessert. We’ve been twice and loved it even more the second time. Everything came out fast as well. We had our dinner maybe five minutes after our appetizer was eaten. We will be back."

"Lily was amazing, very friendly. Also, the lady at the counter was extremely pleasant. Unfortunately, the food was just okay. We wanted to love it, we have been looking for a good Chinese restaurant. The best thing we tried was the fried rice and the veggie egg roll. Their hot mustard is no joke, it was so good. We would probably come again, but order different entrees. We had the Hunan Chicken and the Kung Pao, neither packed a punch unfortunately."

"Bulla has been one of our favorite places for years but unfortunately things seem to have changed. I can only imagine that the place is under new management since our experience was so different. We went for dinner on Friday night and immediately notice a couple things. A big sign saying that they no longer accepted cash, just credit cards. The other was that it was much slower than it used to be on a Friday at 7:30, and we now know why. The food was still good outside the the churros we had for desert that tasted like freezer burnt twigs. The problem was everything else. The table‘s first round of drinks took nearly 30 minutes to arrive. The waitress apologized profusely several times and in the end, the drinks were comped. Remember… I said the place wasn’t very busy. My beer was brought to me in a can. Don’t think I ever had a can served to me in a nice restaurant. No glass, just a can. Our 2nd round of drinks took nearly 20 minutes and this time I was served a can, unopened. I don’t even believe that’s legal when you don’t have a package license. I guess I’m now going out to dinner only to open up my own beer. The worse part of the experience was that the restaurant seemed in a hurry to go home. At 9:20 they turned up the lights… you know, like when a bar turns up the lights to tell you they’re closing. Mind you, they close at 10. The check was hurriedly given to us and we felt pressured to pay quickly. We asked if we could order a round of drinks to take up to the rooftop bar and we got them oddly quickly this time. So at 9:30 we paid and took our drinks up to the rooftop…except the rooftop bar was closed… at 9:30 on a Friday night. Why bother having a rooftop bar? We took our drinks outside to a table on the street but before we could enjoy our drinks, employees started putting up the chairs and cushions all around us. We finally gave up and left. Always makes me sad when good restaurants stop caring about the guest experience and then wonder why business tank"

"Sea bass was overcooked. Short rib entree was bland pot roast. Was disappointed because had heard good things. Had two apps and two entrees and they were all below average and underwhelming. Even ordered a side Caesar salad before dinner that never came."

"Cooper’s Hawk is our favorite restaurant! We visited for a date night, and it exceeded our expectations! Our server, Tom, was fantastic. We both enjoyed our go-to wedge salads and the Parmesan-crusted Mahi, which were both delectable! We also shared a bottle of the Wine of the Month, Garnacha, and it was wonderful!"

"When we arrive you had standard seating in side reservation and when our table was ready were told we were going to be sat outside which was super cold out and not what are reservations were for, then we’re brought to a table no menus nothing and wasn’t greeted by a server for over 10min until I went up to the bar and asked what was going on then we finally got our server and Molly was great she was kind sweet and patient and nothing leading up to it was her fault . We then order and while waiting for our food the hostess come up to our table and tells up we’re going to need to get up because the table we were seated at by them was for reserved reservation which mind you we had then I had to tell her absolutely not how un enjoyable out experience has been and she brush us off like whatever attitude… I would not recommend this place at all under staff not prepared for events or large crowds food was cold when it arrived and not good at all!! The only thing that was enjoyable was Molly our server she was doing what ever she could to make better of the situation but as a whole would not recommend ever going there!!!! Horrible!!!!"

"WOW! Tomo Japanese restaurant has a very laid back and peaceful atmosphere and beautiful decor. The Bugolgi, miso soup and salad were on point. The bugolgi had good flavor and was not chewy. The vegetables were also delicious and could be eaten by themselves. The White rice was fluffy and soft. We also ordered the children?s chicken teriyaki and it was a hit for both kids. They truly enjoyed the flavor and how soft the chicken was compared to other places we?ve been to. The red dragon roll was perfect and smooth. The gentleman that was serving us was very kind and had great customer service! 5 ???s for sure!"

"I'll be honest the food isn't terrible. It really just depends on what you get and it'll either taste basic or not. The pizza is delicious, although the last time I went it was greasier than usual. The shrimps are good. The steak and potatoes were great. The cheesecake was all right, but too sweet with the compote. We had a couple issues with our server and especially because her shift ended before we had finished dining. We came in last minute on a Sunday night andwere able to snatch the larger booth in the corner, which was nice. They also had a live musician performing right when you walk in. The ambiance is nice and not so bright, which I liked. If you can't find street parking, there is freeparking in the garage across from Forbici."
