    Quesabirria Hash

    First time at this location came in to grab a bite before Gasparilla great view ambience and customer service were positive and warm. Whether you're coming in for coffee drinks, breakfast lunch or healthy there's something for everyone.

    Let me tell y'all something!!!!!! Soooooooo good! It was simple, cute, friendly, fast, and accurate -- everything you want in a spot. Food? Perfect. I literally wanted to come back the very next day. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas, fruit, and coffee. Big brownie points because their fruit salad didn't just have melon (I'm allergic). The food was so good I totally forgot to take pictures -- I just dug right in! I also had the Watermelon Sunrise. Not my favorite flavor, but hey... it got drank.

    Farmhouse Hash

    First Watch is usually a fairly reliable chain and I love how large and accommodating their menu is! I came here for brunch with some friends on a Sunday morning. We put our names down and walked around the area to get coffee while we waited. This location is pretty big and spacious but it was busy!! Once we were seated, we ordered our food. I got the Farmhouse hash. The food was delicious and it was a good portion and very light! Unfortunately, our waitress seemed to disappear once we received our food. One of our party had to get up to find someone to check us out once we finished because our waitress seemingly ended her shift or just forgot about our table and never checked on us! Weird ending to an otherwise good brunch.

    Finally got to eat at a First Watch. Went with a couple of friends who have one near them. Sounds like the decor here is very different, though both are quaint. I loved the industrial mixer whisks they use for some of the pendant lights. Food was delicious. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes. Had been debating those, banana granola crunch pancakes, or carrot cake pancakes. These were delicious - they had a little bit of a crispy edge (my favorite) and were soft and fluffy inside. I loved that they served them with a warmed syrup. The million dollar bacon was amazing. Just the right balance of sweet and heat. My friends enjoyed their meals as well. Our plates were all clean at the end of the meal. Service was excellent.

    Half Sweet Honey Pecan Salad and Monterey Club

    I came during lunch during the work week with a large group and they were able to accommodate all of us. Our server was amazing, super attentive and funny. For lunch I had the half and half with a salad and soup. I love being able to try both and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of food for the price. I loved the honey pecan salad!

    Chorizo Tacos!!!

    We like First Watch a lot but this experience was not great. My son and I went during lunch time but it was closer to 1pm. It did look like the kitchen was behind orders because while the dining room had customers, it was not super packed. There were some people waiting to be seated and some people had carry out orders but again, it wasn't super packed. So as you can tell due to this tone of this review, the service was not great. We decided to sit at the community table and we waited, waited and got served. Then we waited, waited and waited to get our food - probably a good 15-20 minutes for kids eggs and chorizo breakfast tacos (which are always good - nice balance of chorizo and eggs) and the coffee was good!!!!!! Thank goodness we got a coloring menu so my son can be occupied. Parking is limited but it's available. We'll just chalk it up to an off day.

    Great service. Great food. Great atmosphere. Great location for downtown visitors. Reasonable price.

    Power wrap, sans turkey  and swapped fruit for grits. Delicious!

    Excellent coffee and breakfast! Friendly staff, nice bathrooms, good vibe. Coffee was so good I bought a bag of it. Went solo and was not awkward :-)

    Stopped by around 9:15 on Wednesday for a quick breakfast before work. Very clean and lots of tables open. Our waitress was nice. She didn't anticipate our needs but did fulfill any requests we made such as extra napkins and refills. The Purple Haze was so tasty. My power wrap was good despite the egg whites looking a bit burnt. It didn't weigh me down and gave me the boost I needed to hit the road.

    Half Monterey Club / Half Cobb Salad
    Clay T.

    This place has a healthy food vibe. The service was very good. But what really caught my attention was how fresh all of our food was. I got the half Monterey Club / Half Cobb Salad. It was delicious.

    Turkey gravy &' biscuits. 2 sides.

    This is such a gem in tampa Florida. First watch is just overall a great vibeeee!!! Service this Sunday was a little busier joined the waitlist and never got off it ended up enjoying a seat at their community table. Service was so peaceful my server deserves all the praise she was patient, kind & honest. I decided to try the "cereal milk" it is made with my favorite drank (; it was delicious after two smooth cinnamon rich drinks I didn't need another. Service was fast and food came out about 18 minutes after ordering. Great ambiance and presentation. Luv it here.

    Highly recommend the Craft dinner cruise for a special occasion or date night out…read more They have the seating assigned before your arrival as well as a special signed card for your arrival. 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. They do offer discount parking in a nearby garage. Overall, great experience.

    We booked the June afternoon tea for my birthday and the overall experience was "ok". I have seen…read moreother reviews where people get special extras for celebrating their birthdays/anniversaries and other reviews where they weren't acknowledged - mine was in the unacknowledged category. 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 popped into Battery in Channelside for happy hour, and the vibes were definitely on point. The…read morespace has that polished-yet-cozy energy that makes it easy to settle in whether you're here for a quick drink or making a night of it. 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.

Overall my experience was great and I would recommend it to others especially because they have a brunch that others were enjoying...including a mimosa flight.

    Had brunch here with some girlfriends on a Saturday - brunch time in Hyde park, on the weekend,…read moredoes not bode well for parking - just a heads up for those who may be unfamiliar with the Hyde park area. 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. This was my first time visiting On Swann for brunch, I'll be back for sure, but maybe on a weekday instead of the weekend since it seems to get pretty crowded in the Hyde Park Village area!

We ate there twice while in town and overall the food was really good. The burger was delicious, and everyone in my group enjoyed what they ordered. The biggest issue was staffing. The hotel knew there was a large conference happening at the convention center, yet during lunch there was only one server trying to cover both the bar and the restaurant. He was doing his best, but it was clearly too much for one person. The second day there was also a helper clearing plates, but there was a language barrier and it was difficult to communicate simple things like drink refills or asking for the check. The food and atmosphere were definitely solid, and with proper staffing this easily could have been a 5-star experience.
