I've been here a thousand times (and I normally have no problems) but am basing this review on my…read moremost recent visit. My BF and I went on a Friday night. They weren't busy at all but we waited at the hostess stand for several minutes before they sat us. When we finally sat, they offered to turn on the heater for me and I took them up on it. After a few minutes of fiddling with it, they just gave up and never said anything else about it until I asked. The waitress said it wasn't working and that she would have to drag the one from way over there, which would be "too much". Ok, fine, I'll freeze but that's my fault for not dressing appropriately for Florida weather. Then we ordered some seltzers that were on special (we thought). We asked the waitress if they were $5 all day, she said she would go check because she wasn't sure; never received an answer. Next, the food. My BF has celiac so he asked what he can have on the menu. He was given two options, the Baja fish tacos (with corn tortillas) or the ahi tuna bowl. He opted for the Baja fish tacos. After about 10 minutes, the waitress came back and said they couldn't find the corn tortillas, so he was stuck ordering the tuna bowl. He made sure to tell her he had a gluten allergy. When we got the food, it looked like there was soy sauce in the bowl. We waited for the waitress to come back for over 15 minutes and she never did. When she finally did, we asked if there was soy sauce and there indeed was. She said she would have them remake it. At this point, my BF asked to speak to a manager. We had empty drinks, no food after sitting for 20-25 minutes and it was freezing because no heater (still my fault for not dressing right), but we were pretty miserable. The bartender came out and said she was manager on duty and we explained what happened. She offered to take the tuna bowl and first round of drinks off our bill. Overall, this was a miserable experience and I'm glad that I have other visits to base it off of because we wouldn't have come back if it were our first time there.

For brunch, I had the San Jose Bowl with a side of French toast, and it was hands down some of the best French toast I've ever had!

Service was also great & the person who sat us was friendly when we came for brunch!

From my first visit (an accidental find), I was treated like royalty. I walked into this charming…read morelittle establishment having no clue what to expect. The mural, Cali Real Food Only, intrigued me and I could not resist investigating. I was greeted by the manager who sat me at the perfect table, as I was dining alone. He paired me with Ed (short for Edmarie) who asked about my likes, dislikes, and possible allergies. She made suggestions which were spot on. When I ordered multiple items which were way more than I could eat in one sitting, she said, "You are here for the experience. I have boxes." My next visit she remembered my order and asked if I wanted it again or if I wanted to try something new. Each meal is a taste adventure. I have been multiple times, both alone and introducing friends to this South Tampa gem. Everyone has loved it. No matter the server, or the manager on duty, I have been treated like a special guest. I recommend Cali to anyone looking for good food, tasty mimosas or sangria, and the best servers in the city!

I ordered on the app, and the food was delivered within the predicted window with good updates. The food was well packaged, and the portions were good. Everything is good. My son loves their standard burger with the sauce and all the veggies. My husband prefers to skip the Shula sauce, but otherwise, he likes everything here too. I highly recommend the black and blue burger. For sides, the fries are excellent, but don't overlook the sweet potato tots or the side salad, which is fresh and delicious. If you miss Shula's, the steak sandwich is still on the menu. I haven't had it in years, but I might opt for it the next time my son is craving delivery burgers.

We were greeted upon entering. The staff was very friendly and patient as we asked lots of questions while we made our decisions. We ordered the following: Roll in a bowl $16.5 Salmon I used to know $18.5 BYO plate with steak $18+ We were going to take them to go, but decided to dine in. The dining room is spacious, welcoming, and offers plenty of seating. I opted for the salmon I used to know, which was one of the staff's recommendations. It features miso salmon, ginger sauce, radish, scallions, Chinese noodles, chef's seasonal vegetable, mixed greens, and oregano vinaigrette. It was a great recommendation! Tasty, light, yet filling. My family also really liked their items. Our teenage son has a big appetite and enjoyed his BYO plate so much that he ordered another one to-go. They also offer free soft serve ice cream and the flavor at the time of our visit was caramel crush. It was delicious! I was tempted to get a second one on the way out. Bare Naked Kitchen is a fantastic spot and I will certainly return when I'm back in the area!

You enter and suddenly you're in a cozy interior that feels very far away from the busy street and is a place you can spend some time. The food is excellent, well above any other place around where you can get a bowl. Our spicy pork bowls were so delicious. They came with a nice soft-yoke fried egg on top and the most delicious fresh carrots I have perhaps ever had. My child adored the sweet potato noodles, salmon, and chicken. We played foosball for quite some time. Honestly, the world would be a better place with more restaurants just like this.

The drunken parm is something you must try! It is a good size, the chicken has the perfect crunch and the sauce is to die for! I love trying their speciality lattes too, I enjoyed the caramel pistachio. The waiters I've received have consistently provided basic service and are pretty "relaxed". I definitely go for the coffee, food, DJ and outdoor seating/grass area! There are usually bigger groups or family's here but there is plenty of space where it doesn't feel crowded!
