    I love the passion and creativity of the culinary and beverage teams here. The flavor and texture combinations they come up with are brilliant and result in sublime dishes and cocktails. The wood-grilled BBQ mahi with yucca and charred okra was outstanding. The BBQ sauce was deeply flavored with no one flavor popping out - perfectly balanced. The seared Ahi tuna with green papaya salad starter was absolutely brilliant - spicy and sweet and just awesome. This is one of Tampa's very best restaurants.

    We were celebrating our 30 th anniversary. We wanted a romantic yet fun winery type experience. This delivered on so many levels. The charcuterie board was out of this world. The wines Highest Beauty, and Sea Smokes Chard were amazing with our meals. First class service from Daniel and all the staff that had his back tonight. They acted like we were the only clients they had when in fact we were definitely not. All things were followed up with an amazing Chocolate decedent dessert that’s out of this world. So for a guy that NEVER leaves reviews - this was an excellent experience. We are so glad we came here. Cheers to all 🥂

    We had an incredible experience celebrating our wedding anniversary here! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel truly special, even surprising us with a thoughtful handwritten note. The food was absolutely fantastic, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion sizes, especially since I had expected smaller servings. Every detail was carefully attended to, making it the perfect setting for a special occasion. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to celebrate in style!
