I've had many Cubans throughout the Tampa Bay area, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had. The quality was exceptional -- the meats were incredibly fresh, and the balance of juicy pickles and tangy mustard elevated every bite. Beyond the food, the atmosphere impressed me as well. It's a cool, spacious venue with a long bar and a welcoming staff that made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to return. I'm still impressed by how outstanding that sandwich was.

I may slightly resemble Uncle Fester, but that does NOT give a server an excuse to not approach me at all. From the moment I sat down, I waited a while until I kindly asked for a menu. The barmaid gave it to me, without saying anything else. Then I had to notify her that I was ready to order, after waiting a few minutes. After I told her I wanted the Cuban sandwich, she said "okay" and walked away. She brought the plate to me, and set it in front of me without saying anything. Nor did she swing by, to ask how my food was. The guy with the dark haired bowl-cut was the ONLY one who asked how my food was, and he wasn't even my waiter! I was too kind to give her a tip anyway. Some people jussssst do not belong in customer service, if they lack communication skills or common sense. I didn't feel comfortable with staying there, after the cold reception from the barmaid, and left.

I went to Coasis on Saturday to celebrate my friend's birthday, and overall, we had a great time!…read moreWe had a 1:30 PM reservation and were seated right away as soon as we walked in. There was security at the door who wanded us down and checked our purses, which made me feel like the area might not be the safest, but once we got inside, the vibes were definitely flowing. We were greeted by the DJ as we entered, and the energy was great from the start. Our waitress (I wish I remembered her name because she was so sweet!) greeted us quickly and brought paid bottled water to the table. There is no tap water here. For appetizers, we ordered the Cajun wings and seafood dip. The food took a little while to come out, but when it did, everything was hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The wings were crispy and seasoned perfectly, definitely one of the highlights. The seafood dip was also really good, and when we asked for more chips, our waitress happily brought some out. We ordered lemon drop towers in different flavors. Pineapple, peach, blueberry, and strawberry. They were yummy, and the bartender definitely wasn't stingy with the liquor! For my meal, I ordered the churro waffles and wings (yes, the same wings from the appetizer. I didn't mind one bit! LOL!). The waffle was just right. Crispy on the edges, soft in the middle, and not overly sweet. I also tried the biscuit with honey butter, which was good. My friend had the Bananas Foster French toast, and she loved it, although her eggs came out a little late. Another friend had the shrimp and grits and said the shrimp were on the salty side, and someone else mentioned the same about the salmon croquettes. Our waitress apologized for those hiccups and offered to make it right, which I really appreciated. The music was great. Shout out to DJ Marly Mar! Very lively and fun, though a bit explicit at times (the DJ said it depends on the crowd). He even came out from the booth to interact with everyone and handed out free shots to people celebrating birthdays and college graduations, which was a nice touch. All in all, even with a few small issues, I'd definitely go back. The food, drinks, and atmosphere made it a fun brunch spot!

Sat outside to not prolong the wait but glad as the inside is cozy but would have felt cramped and the music was too loud for the size establishment. Our server was awesome. The food was good and came fast and was hot. Valet $15 with the payment and tip paid before you park. Gratuity of 20% already added regardless of party size. Based on which French Toast you order you receive traditional toast style or block style. Bottle water only. Security purse and wand check before entry which I did not expect but I have no problems with security.

I just wish the happy hour selection was better and quite small, but the $12 burger and beer deal is great. Expanding the happy hour menu could bring in more business earlier and create a more lively atmosphere before the evening rush. Definitely a solid spot with room to improve.

Lunch with friends at this cute restaurant was lovely. We were going to sit outside, as they have…read moreseveral tables, but it was just too chilly so we ate indoors instead. We were seated at the corner table so we were able to people watch. Our server, Brianna, was super nice and very attentive. I never had to ask her for a refill on my Coke Zero; she just kept them coming! We started with some shareables for the table. Kung Pao Brussel Sprouts which were done just right. We also ordered a half cheese, half pepperoni pizza to share. I've never had a "Columbus-style" pizza before. If you're wondering, the crust is somewhat thinner than most pizzas, but not a thin-crust pizza. The toppings are spread all throughout the pizza to the edge, and then cut it in squares (Tavern style). It was very tasty, with a slightly sweet note. My hubby and I ordered the Cobb Salad (without bacon) which was delicious. I really liked the onions on it. It was very fresh and they served a generous portion. Hubby ate the whole thing, but I had the rest of mine for dinner. So good! Two of our friends ordered the Truffle Mushroom Smash Burger and they loved them. I tried my buddy's tater tots, which he ordered with his French Dip. They were nice and crispy, but could have used some kind of flavoring, like Parmesan or truffle. Doesn't mean I didn't eat them all! LOL. The restaurant looks small when you enter, but in addition to the front dining area and bar, it has two additional dining areas, as you walk towards the back, and another bar. If you find yourself in the Channelside area, you should definitely try out Small Giant.

But I dropped in the other night to grab dinner and catch up with a friend, and the vibe was right during a football game, a lot of the same team members are still there, and the food was still great. My favorite item on the menu for all time is the Couch Potatoes. Steak fries smothered in cheese and onion (I get it without the bacon) and served with ranch just hits the spot. There aren't a bunch of vegetarian items on the menu. BUT the team there will turn any of the salads into a wrap if you ask, and I've done that for years and it never disappoints. It comes with your choice of a side and I can't see tots on a menu and not order them, so tots it was! Perfectly crisp. Huge portion. And a good time overall!

Now we wanted to get the day started early for my birthday so we can go to all the excursions we had planned. It was a little confusing because it's no instructions and it wasn't anyone standing to assist you by the counter so we asked customers on how to be seated? They instructed us to choose a table and then someone will come out to help you. So we decided to sit by the pool area so we could view the beautiful water because we were on the beach side. The wait wasn't long after we all sat down. We started off with a cup of Starbucks coffee and fruits. We then ordered the American Breakfast which consisted of of 3 eggs , bacon , sausage, potatoes and toast. When I tell you the eggs were cooked to perfection. The bacon was cooked just right and not over crispy and it had like a maple taste. The sausage links were good but if it was my choice I would have had more bacon. The toast was sourdough bread which I love the taste of toasted sourdough with some cream cheese. The breakfast was really good. The price range was very decent for a hotel restaurant because they usually overcharge you but it was around $8-$19. They also had apple,grape and grapefruit juice. Will I try another hotel restaurant yes because I gave the experience a second chance which turned out to be very good.
