Himes Breakfast House was a fantastic breakfast spot! I ordered the Belly Benny, and it was…read moreabsolutely outstanding. The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs were spot on, and the roasted red pepper hollandaise took the whole dish to another level. It's one of the best Benedicts I've had. My friend had the Morning Bowl, made with vanilla Greek yogurt, granola, fresh bananas and strawberries, topped with honey and their house-made blueberry poppy maple syrup. It was fresh, beautiful, and just the right balance of healthy and indulgent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend Himes Breakfast House if you're looking for a memorable breakfast or brunch!

I thought we would love it, but we ended up finding it just OK…read more This is a super popular spot. We came at about 9 AM on a Sunday and there was a 15 minute wait. A lot of people bring their children here and it makes sense that they're here early since children wake up early. They also have a really cute treasure box with prizes for the kids, so if I was here with my family, I probably would bump this up a star. However, I was here with my husband and our couple friend. The decor is beautiful. I love how bright and cheery all the decorations are. Parking can get difficult, it seems like they have just enough parking for the amount of people there. The food is what I found just OK. I got their yogurt bowl, which I guess I can't really expect to be wow'd by a yogurt bowl, but I found it to be fine. My options were limited since I don't eat pork and a majority of their meat is pork. They do have a chicken sausage, but looking at pictures. It looks like the casing may possibly be pork so I decided to avoid it just in case. I also got their cold brew, it didn't come with any cream or sweetener or anything to add. I probably should've asked for some, because I found the cold brew to just be OK. My husband got the chicken pot pie and said he expected more chicken in it. I think our overall feel of the food was it was fine, but not great. I won't run to come back here, but I also wouldn't be opposed to someone wanted to. I think that's the definition of three stars for me. Price is super reasonable, this meal will not break the bank.

We will be back and tell everyone all about it ! Thank you for the amazing time !

Went here on a night we wanted something casual after a stretch of fancier meals, and 7th + Grove's…read moresoul food menu caught our eye. Fair warning: this place has two personalities -- a restaurant side and a much louder dance-party side that share the same building. We opted for the restaurant side, which was surprisingly not busy despite the earliest reservation we could get being 7:30pm on a weeknight. The menu blends classic soul food (fried chicken, mac and cheese) with a strong New Orleans Creole influence -- gumbo, jambalaya, fried seafood, cornbread. Portions are enormous. We started with the deviled eggs ("D'Evils"), topped with fried chicken bites and lemon pepper dust -- excellent and surprisingly filling for just four halves. We also got the Nolia Clip, a vegan gumbo base loaded with fried shrimp, crabmeat, turkey sausage, and a full catfish filet -- essentially an entree-sized bowl on its own. For entrees, the fried chicken plate ("Let's Stay Together") was a standout -- moist chicken, crispy crust, great mac and cheese and collard greens, though the cornbread muffins were bland and watery-tasting. My jambalaya ("Burning Blues") turned out to be nearly identical in ingredients to the gumbo appetizer we'd already had, just a bit thicker and in a bigger portion -- worth knowing before you order both. We left with a full meal's worth of leftovers and zero room for dessert. Food quality was great across the board (minus the cornbread), and portions are a serious value. Service was the weak point -- slow to seat and slow table-side all night. Good pick if you're after soul food with Creole flair and don't mind a leisurely pace.

Delicious food with a lively atmosphere and welcoming staff - what more could you ask for?…read more I visited Oak and Ola for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Rather than trying to search for parking, we just paid $20 for the lot right nearby and it worked out great for us. We had a large group and our waiter, Zachary, was amazing. He had plenty of recommendations, anecdotes, stories, and jokes to keep everyone happy and full. He was definitely a highlight for all of us. We had a variety of drinks, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Sacred Empress and was so impressed with the balance of flavors - mostly sweet with a slight punch from the serrano cilantro simple syrup. It sounds funky but trust me on this! We also split a bottle of the Lagar De Costa Albariño, at the recommendation of our waiter, and we all loved it. For food, we started with the Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Frites, Crispy Pork Belly Bites, Crunch Love Caesar Salad, and Olives. All were devoured and I think the crowd favorites were the Lobster Ravioli (though expensive, $26 for 3) and the Pork Belly Bites. For mains, most people tended to get either the Steak Frites or the Gulf Fish Amandine (which was snapper). My steak and another at the table were both way overcooked on the first go around but they very quickly remade them (and the fries) and got them back to us in 5 minutes, perfectly cooked. It was a delicious and filling dish. The Gulf Fish Amandine was also really tasty, but it felt like it was missing something like a starch. It's a very simple and classic dish. The Pork Chop was also well loved amongst the table and many people wished they got it after trying a bite! For dessert, you absolutely have to get the Toffee Cake - it was everyone's favorite dessert. Super soft, warm, and comforting, plus that vanilla ice cream just took it to another level. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse, and the free birthday dessert they kindly brought out for us. Overall, the restaurant is fun and lively, with an eclectic feel in the mismatched dining sets and decor. I really loved how it felt. It's definitely a nicer spot for a date or celebration, but worth it!

It's cool and beautiful inside with lots of wood and lamps that look like classy pineapples. After an Easter service at St Johns, we came here for some snacks and drinks.

The service is incredible, attentive, warm, and genuinely makes the whole experience better from start to finish. I'm obsessed with their blood orange cosmo and their Hotel International, which is a mezcal based drink that's super well balanced. They also have great happy hour specials, which makes it an easy go to for a more elevated but still relaxed night out. Definitely one of those spots that keeps you coming back.

We're here for vacation, staying in Seminole Heights at an Airbnb. I looked up this restaurant on…read moreYelp. The wife and I were seated right away, which surprised me considering the place looked full. Our waitress, Evette, (was great, btw) soon came by to take our order. The food came shortly thereafter. My wife really enjoyed her omelet plate and I, my Hash and eggs. The grits were outstanding. Really, everything was. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. They serve the entire menu, all day, which is extensive. Highly recommend and we'll be back before we leave town.

Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options. If you're looking for a healthy place at Armature Works, I would highly recommend here.

Parking is limited, a few spaces behind the restaurant and a "hope and prayer" for street parking. I found parking behind the building thankfully. The food was divine. I enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros and would totally recommend again. It's not the typical Huevos Rancheros, which is why I liked it. It's filling and I enjoyed the grilled chorizo. The fries in the apps were also delicious. My friends raved about their dishes: avocado toast and the Nate's Plate. I also had the matcha lemonade which was a perfect blend of both. The service was fantastic! Shout out to our server. I wish I remembered her name.

They had a DJ that was spinning all the hits of the 80s however he was struggling with blending his music, but he picked good songs. The daiquiris were flowing and they were delicious and priced just right. They should do this every Wednesday because I would be there. They may not want me there, but I would be there. The patrons were even extremely polite to get us up to the bar to be able to get our drinks and that is highly unusual for most places in the Tampa area. They served us chicken nuggets to keep us a little more, even kilter in the fries and who knew chicken nuggets could be so good. I love how they support their local vendors and give them an outlet to generate some funds while having some drinks and eating some food. Willa's a cool hangout and I can't wait to see what they will do next. I'll be back for brunch, but as for now the drinks are good
