    Outside entertainment
    Michelle C.

    Great place along the water to enjoy brunch or just drinks. They offer both inside and outside seating. Pretty popular place, recommend advanced reservations for tables. The food was good. I enjoyed the club with fries. Others at the table enjoyed salads and many other available options. The bar area was hoping and seemed like a popular place for both locals and visitors. The view of the water along with doc ships was fantastic.

    Cocktail menu

    I was in the mood for sushi but saw their menu online and saw this poke was their house speciality. Hostess was warm and welcoming and seated right away. It is a Monday at 1:15pm. My order was taken right away and food came out immediately. My server was super attentive. They had a steamy flow of guest at bar and tables. Fabulous view of the River walk and music in the background. If ever back in Tampa I would definitely stop by once again. Maybe I can stop by before I leave. I had the AHI TUNA POKE which was delicious and a big portion size.

    Came here for brunch on our vacation with friends. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. The property overlooked the bay with great scenic views. Food was delicious and very reasonably priced.

    Guava mojito mocktail
    LaToya L.

    Stopped into American social for brunch and had a delightful experience. The service was great and the music selection was great for Sunday Brunch. I ordered the guava Mojito cocktail and fruity pebble chicken and waffles. The dish was a really huge portion. The chicken was juicy and succulent, and the flavors from the strawberry jam and maple syrup were delicious. I will be back to try dinner. I parked in the parking garage, which the restaurant gives you free validation for the first two hours.

    American Social has never disappointed me. Whenever I go, I always sit outside for the ambiance and view, but last night my daughter and I sat inside in the room they use for private event. It felt intimate like we were in our own home. I love the decor, the beautiful dark blue wall, the fireplace and everything else. Our server was really nice and attentive. Our food was good as expected, but that loaded guacamole was a 10. It was a great experience as expected and will always recommend American Social.

    Fish and chips
    Evelyn E.

    Came in for a quick bite since we were at a nearby event, and the fish and chips did not disappoint. My hubby does NOT like fish, and after tasting mine (to entertain me of course, lol), he actually thought the breading was pretty good! This place was pretty busy, and though we didn't get the service we should have, we also kept in mind that perfect weather weekends was going to have this place super busy. Loved the outdoor seating, vibe, and cleanliness. Oh and the bar area has a ton of monitors facing a few directions which was nice. So the magic question we always ask, would we return? Probably, as we did enjoy the quick meal and outdoor freshness. Oh, and the people watching, very entertaining as well lol

    Goat Cheese Croquettes & oysters

    Amso is one of my favorite establishments on the planet. I went for my birthday yesterday for happy hour and had THE BEST time yet again. The staff (Hope & Nicole mainly - incredible wait staff) were able to accommodate all of our requests for 20 people!!!! They brought out bottle service with birthday signs & my favorite dessert there (the carrot cake) with a candle. Truly so special. They have one of the best happy hours ever (4-7pm weekdays $6 - I recommend the skinny marg of guava mojito and so many deals running 24/7 dip duo: 2 apps for $20, I'll have what she's having (drink & food deals Thursday nights), & so many more. They are always keeping everything fun & fresh. They are always revamping their menu, keeping things exciting, & ultimately giving the people what they want!!!! They recently upgraded their brunch menu items and before that added a bunch of new apps like chicken tenders (BOMB), fish dip, crispy avocado fries and delicious handhelds like green goddess chicken Caesar wrap & chicken salad sandwich (both of which were much needed in my opinion as 2 of my fav foods ever) AND a FIRE spicy vodka rigatoni (I like to add the short rib). My friends always love to get the oysters because duh and by far my favorite menu item that I RAVE about is the green goddess salmon - brown butter carrot puree, Brussels, cranberries, crispy leeks..... need I say more. It's unreal & consistently incredible. Whenever I get a handheld I make sure to upgrade to the spicy ranch wedges (seasoned move) but their fries are also SOLID. I also love love love their soft pretzels app that comes with a fire queso BUT make sure to also ask for a side of their honey mustard. Top tier stuff. I put my friends onto the loaded guac yesterday and they were levitating. If you haven't been to amso, it is a MUST. I can't say enough good things I love it there so much (whether inside or outside, vibes are high; service is efficient, drinks are cheap, and food is GAS.

    This was our first time coming here and it did not disappoint at all. Maddie our waitress was so awesome and sweet. Whatever question we had she answered or found out for us. The food was really delicious and flavorful. The ambiance was really nice. Definitely recommend this place.

    Hosted my birthday brunch at American Social and had the best time! They made me feel so special with a birthday sign, and our server was incredibly attentive. I had the steak and eggs, which were absolutely delicious! I've been to American Social plenty of times before, and it's always a good experience. I love the vibe and hanging out there more than anything. They do have good drinks too, so no complaints. The only downside I've noticed is that when I stopped in to watch college football on a Saturday, they didn't have the Big Ten Network (at least that's what our server said), so we ended up leaving. For a bar like American Social, I would expect they'd be able to play a college football game.

    Tampa's Riverwalk view
    Michelle T.

    Had a fun girls night out at American Social for happy hour. I finally got to see what the hype was about. We sat outside and got beautiful views of Tampa's Riverwalk. Even at 6pm, it was still so hot and would recommend to sit inside next time, then head outside to enjoy the views. The food was SO good and their passionfruit margaritas were such a hit with us. So refreshing and full of flavor . Our service was outstanding. Our waitress kept checking on us which is a plus for me! I had the crispy truffleshroom burger with truffle fries and I recommend it, if you love mushrooms! So delicious. Definitely a great spot for casual vibes, tasty bites, delicious drinks and a little photo op on the cute green deck area near the water. Parking is free for 2 hours with validation.

    Grilled shrimp tacos
    Mandie B.

    My family and I visited AMSO the other night for a late lunch/early dinner and asked for a table on the patio (we brought out dog with us). I was so glad to see that they had such a nice patio and I appreciated how dog friendly this spot was! The menu had a lot of great choices and the cocktail menu was also expansive! Our server was super quick at bringing us water and taking our drink orders. When we were ready to order, she answered questions and made recommendations. I asked for the grilled shrimp tacos and couldn't wait to try them. The cocktails were really good and when the food came out, the tacos were not just grilled to perfection, but extremely flavorful. I was so glad that I ordered them. Just the right amount of food. The location is simply divine as the patio overlooks the water and we could enjoy the sunset while enjoying a cocktail and some food. Pro-tip, if you park in the garage, they will validate your ticket at the hostess station so be sure you bring the packing ticket with you!

    Everything i get here from drinks to food is always perfect the waiters are always so kind and always help pick out an amazing dish!

    Cucumber fizz, PB&J old fashion
    Melinda N.

    Food: Ordered the spinach & artichoke dip, mushroom pappardelle pasta, and crispy truffleshroom burger. The pasta was fantastic, perfect amount of mushroom to sauce to pasta ratio. The burger tasted like a normal burger. The spinach & artichoke dip didn't blow my mind. Drinks: ordered the cucumber fizz and PB&J Old Fashion. The cucumber fizz was a refreshing drink. PB&J Old Fashion was unique (the small PB&J slipped down the stick so by the time it was retrieved, it was already soaked in alcohol.) Ambiance: It was pretty crowded, so I think that's why it was so loud there. It was pretty difficult to hear the person across the table. View of the riverwalk is nice. Service: it would have been nice if they refilled the water but like I said, they were pretty busy which may have contributed to this service.

    Ask the Community - American Social

    Can I just sit at the bar?

    As long as you are over the age of 21 we welcome guests to sit at the bar and enjoy dinner or drinks.

    Do they still do bottomless brunch?

    No they don't

    Is this place ok for kids? Early dinner? Do they have high chairs?

    It's okay for kids if you go early afternoon. They have outdoor Patio. They do have high chairs.. Late afternoon or evening could get crowded and noisy. Aside they opened up the bars too.

    Is parking easy at this restaurant?

    Far from easy, I found the parking garage to be the hardest one I've ever dealt with. I thought having parking validated meant you wouldn't pay, yet I still had to though I was there two hours. The parking alone would make me hesitate to return.

    Are you guys doing Drag Brunch shows currently?

    No, but Saturdays and Sundays brunch runs from 11am-3pm and 4$ mimosas till 4pm!

    Do you take reservations for Sunday brunch?

    Yes, reservations can either be made on open table or by calling :)

    I see under info it says there are vegan options. What are they?

    I don't see anything particularly vegan on the menus, but there are some things you could eat like Chia Pudding for brunch, French fries, sweet potato fries, salad sans meat and maybe the vegetarian chili if they're able to remove the cheese.

    Does American Social have bottomless mimosas on Sunday?

    Yes! They do. You can combine it with your bottomless brunch price or spend $5 more to get the bottomless mimosas just by itself.

    Does American Social have a dress code at night? Can you wear shorts?

    Most of the people were dressed business causal.

The service was wonderful and food was excellent!!! I have been on other cruises where the food was just so/so as you were really paying for the cruise. Hands down, it caught me by surprise how good the food was along with great boat cruise too. Once they take your order they encourage the guest to get up and enjoy the view. Being a smaller boat, it was great as you never felt it was overcrowded. They have an open pay lot available for parking at the slip, but was around $40 per car the evening we went due to an event.

It was noted on the reservation, so my opinion is Craft Tampa should be consistent in this: either acknowledge all special occasions, or don't, but not to pick and choose. I have been to many afternoon teas and this fell short in the way the tea service and trays were delivered. The tea was not brewed, nor did you get your own pot, but received your own tea bag of choice with a teapot of hot water to share. This is in itself not terrible, but the hot water was not kept warm with a warmer nor were we offered a fresh pot. The tray did not have an even amount of sandwiches/scones to share which I have never encountered. I did speak to the manager about it and we were offered more sandwiches, and that they would work on this for future events - kudos to them for that. The inside dining area was crazy loud and not at all a relaxing vibe for tea - but that's not the fault of Craft Tampa. Just something to consider if you are wondering in which area to dine. Overall, the actual cruise, views, and service made this "ok", but I would not recommend this to anyone who loves going to afternoon tea.

We decided to try the calamari, and while it was cooked well, the flavor fell a little flat--it could've used a touch more seasoning or sauce to really make it pop. That said, the happy hour deals made it worth a try, and the portion was fair. The Donkey Kick, a Kentucky mule featuring four roses bourbon, house-made ginger-mint syrup was very good drink for happy hour. Where Battery really shined was in the service. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely friendly. That alone kept the experience positive and left us open to trying more of the menu next time. Overall: A stylish Channelside spot that nails the service and happy hour atmosphere--just hoping for a bit more punch in the flavors on the plate.

There are a few parking garages, but even those are a pain because people park like idiots. The parking situation isn't On Swann's fault, but it's an annoying factor. We had reservations well in advance, so we didn't have to worry about a wait. It was reasonably busy for a Saturday at brunch time. The decor and overall ambiance was classy but comfortable, which is great imo. Our server was nice and checked on us a good amount of times. The wait time between ordering our food and it coming to the table felt a bit lengthier than I would typically expect, but the food was delicious so it's hard to even complain about that. I got the short rib hash and a croissant and both items were wonderful. The croissant was flaky and buttery, it comes with a honey dip and butter on the side, would def get again. The short rib hash was also a menu item I would order again - the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I'd say I'm a little picky with how runny my eggs are. These were runny, but not TOO runny. The potatoes had a nice crisp to the outside but nice and soft on the inside, the short rib was so tender, so juicy, it was just a very well rounded, great tasting hash.

Between ordering, receiving my food, and being checked on, I felt forgotten multiple times -- went to the bar myself to get extra napkins. The food --though the flavors were there -- was not worth the $90 I spent. I got the deviled eggs (they are solid, but overpriced), cornbread -- why so $$?, shrimp and grits, and a slice of pie. The shrimp and grits are the real reason for the low rating of this post. The roux was grease/oil. I had to use a napkin to drain it. No one should consume that amount of grease/oil. Ever. The flavors were very good once I drained the oil. When I spend close to $100 on a meal, I either want exceptional food (not just good) or exceptional service. I got neither.
