It was a Tuesday night, so the place was pretty slow - which is probably part of why we had our every need met. The wine selection is diverse, and the server kindly helped us choose the best one for our tastes. It was a great choice, and we enjoyed it so much. He pointed out all of their different specials (SO many), and we both agreed that we'd definitely be back soon!

Each Wednesday at 7 they have a different theme for the educational wine tastings. Last nights theme was comparing same grapes but the differences in wine based on region their grown in. We tried side by side comparisons of 6 different wines, learned about the history of them, and how to identify the notes. And the tasting includes charcuterie and some other little snacks, as well as cookies this time. Sommelier, Denise "Bubbles", is fantastic, the environment is welcoming and fun and a great way to meet some new folks and try some lovely wines. Will absolutely be back again soon, thanks Bubbles!!

It's menu of elevated bar bites and shareables favorites like flatbreads and unique sandwiches, brings vibrant vibes to the space and neighborhood. Had the pleasure of visiting this place and have nothung but good things to say about it. First off, the Spinach and Artichoke Dip: Amazing . The Fire Mix Flatbread: Flavorful. The Trellis Smash Burger: A burger you should not miss at all. Their Drinks though is what Trellis is more known for. The Barriehaus Tampa Export Lager is such a refreshing beer. They just recently launched their Brunch Menu on the weekends so definitely don't miss out on that. They also have some entertainment nights to please the crowd. So whenever you are in Ybor City, make sure to pass by Trellis and enjoy an enjoyable environment inside.

Went for a Creep O Rama trivia night with friends and we were incredibly impressed with the…read morerestaurant! The decor was maximalist with a nod to dark speakeasies and local flair. The menu was their limited "Late Night" menu for the event and we ordered at least one of pretty much everything. The service was decent for the staffing vs crowd ratio and the food was spectacular. I had concerns that the salad wouldn't fill me up, but it was not only filling but had incredibly tasty toppings that had me tempted to lick the bowl. The loaded fries were probably the most popular for our group and the boiled peanuts had the Southerners swooning. Dessert was the dirt pudding which was rich and creamy. We can't wait to go back!!

I ordered a wine flight, and while the wines weren't my favorite the bartender's friendliness more than made up for it. Ordered a cheese plate which was so generously portioned I couldn't finish it. A coworker joined me and we both also orderd flatbreads- me an Italian and her the Hot Honey & Pepperoni. The food was all fabulous. Would definitely return.

It has been my replacement since The Saint closed in St. Pete. Service is fantastic and bartenders are always willing to make recommendations and walk you through their offerings like their wine flights. DO NOT pass on their small bites! My only critique is that on a busy night, it can turn into a dive bar feel versus wine bar, but being stuck in DT, I can't complain. Don't pass it up!

Our waitress, who was friendly and clearly trying her best, appeared to be doing everything -- taking orders, serving tables, and possibly even cooking. It wasn't her fault, but it made the entire service feel slow and chaotic. Despite the place being nearly empty, it took 1 hour and 40 minutes to get our food. That kind of delay would be hard to overlook even during a rush -- let alone a slow morning. Several menu items were already "out" which was confusing and disappointing for a small menu. It felt like they were unprepared to open for the day.

The actual name of this listing is The Attic at Rock Brothers. It is the musical venue located…read moreabove my favorite drinking establishment in Ybor, Rock Brothers. The venue seems to book a few acts a week. You can go online, purchase tickets, and pick your actual seat - they sell seats by the table. We were at Table 20 for The Verve Pipe, and it was a four-top, in the 3rd row of tables, on the side, with an excellent view of the stage. Sadly, they do NOT offer their fabulous cocktails upstairs here, even though there is a bar. If you want to drink something stellar, you will need to walk yourself back down the two flights of stairs, and get it yourself. Instead, they have instructions on each table of how to order a standard cocktail on-line; you choose your basic booze, then your basic mixer, and a cocktail server will bring it out to you and take your credit card. Efficient, but very boring. The venue is small, but the sound was good, with the exception of the two magpies behind me screaming and nattering the whole time. Why go to a concert if you're just going to talk through the entire thing? But I digress.... This is a wonderful venue to go see some surprisingly good artists, and I highly recommend a visit.

Disappointed about it no longer being 50% but just wish it was advertised more clear on social media/at the restaurant/online. Anyways, the restaurant is very cute and I like the shaded outdoor area. We ordered some wine, beer, and pizzas. My fiancé enjoyed the beers and my wine was not very good but the cheapest glass so I wasn't expecting much. We ordered Price's House and the fig & prosciutto pizza - both were $19 which is not crazy expensive but Price's House imo is overpriced. The crusts are thin and crispy on these pizzas if that's your style. Price's house was pretty average, salty from the salami, not enough mozzarella (some pieces didn't have any), not much flavor to it. The pizza is not bad by any means but nothing special and overpriced imo. Could get better pizza elsewhere for that price. The Fig & Prosciutto was OUTSTANDING. So much flavor, sweet and salty, fresh from the arugula, all-around 10/10. Would recommend this one to anyone debating which pizza I would have rated this place a 3/5 but that fig & prosciutto pizza really carried it home and made it seem like they have pretty good food and I just ordered the wrong thing. I would def be willing to try this again!

Updating my experience this evening from 5 star to one as we were attempting to celebrate my…read moremother's birthday. I have been visiting the 1905 restaurants and their family of brands for over 25 years. I've been to the Columbia so many times that I could probably draw you the layout from memory. That history and loyalty is exactly why yesterday's experience was so disappointing. Yesterday, we were celebrating my mother's 64th birthday, and I chose Casa Santo Stefano because of the superior service I've received in the past, the excellent quality of the food, and because my company,, typically books Casa Santo Stefano for events and has never given me reason to doubt the brand. Unfortunately, my experience with my family yesterday was more than disappointing. Valerio dropped the ball in so many ways at our table. We repeatedly went without water, at times for more than 10 minutes, and I was constantly looking around for him. My mother's Moscow Mule took approximately 20 minutes to arrive. When I jokingly asked if he had gone to Moscow to get it, he told me they "didn't have any cups." That was difficult to believe when the drink was clearly sitting there long enough for the cup to become heavily sweated and the ice to melt. I also began noticing that Valerio seemed far more attentive to a table of 10 young women who had just arrived. He was taking their photos, laughing with them and engaging with them, while our table was repeatedly forgotten. The situation with dessert was particularly upsetting because it was my mother's birthday. Valerio asked whether we had seen a dessert menu, and I told him we had not. As I got up to speak with the manager, a kids' ice cream dessert was brought to our table instead. We wanted to look at the dessert menu, order a few things, and have the restaurant sing Happy Birthday to my mother. That simple experience was completely missed, and it was something we had genuinely been looking forward to. On top of everything, the air conditioning was not functioning properly in the restaurant, which made an already uncomfortable experience even more difficult. I appreciate the manager Ty, giving my mother a box of cookies and a handwritten card from the staff as we were leaving. Unfortunately, by that point, the damage had already been done. What bothered me most was that Valerio never seemed to appreciate the significance of the occasion, never apologized for the repeated service issues, and ultimately dropped off the check and walked away. I simply do not understand how this happened, particularly on a day when the restaurant was not even especially busy. I believe Valerio needs additional training and guidance, particularly in the level of hospitality and attentiveness expected from a restaurant carrying the 1905 Family of Restaurants name. I want to emphasize that I am not writing this because I have turned my back on the brand. Quite the opposite. I am writing because I have been loyal to this brand for more than two decades, I genuinely believe in what the 1905 Family of Restaurants represents, and yesterday's experience fell so far below that standard that I feel compelled to say something. My mother's 64th birthday only happens once, and unfortunately, instead of leaving with another wonderful 1905 memory, we left disappointed. I sincerely hope this feedback is taken seriously, not simply as a complaint about one server, but as an opportunity to make sure another family celebrating an important occasion does not have the same experience.

That is what I was looking for, and that is what I got. Up first, I tried a $15 Grapefruit Moon. The bartender warned me if I don't like grapefruit, I won't like this drink. Holy smokes he wasn't joking. I was hoping the mezcal would cancel out some of the grapefruit, but it really didn't. Super duper strong grapefruit taste. Then, I tried a $15 Martini. It's a pretty standard dirty martini. I liked it, and it was fine. Good to see there is a place in Ybor with real cocktails, and not cheap awful cocktails served in a plastic cup. I didn't try any food or any other items. I'd just be a little worried that on a Saturday night during primetime there were like 10 people in here. Although, that's also why I walked in here because it was quiet and not crowded.
