    Gnocchi Plate
    Alessandra H.

    If you have a group of foodie friends this is the place! We weren't super hungry that night so we didn't order much but these two plates have been delicious and very unique. I had a non alcoholic spritz (sorry don't remember the name) but it was a sweet and fruity spritz that was delicious. For dessert we had the calamansi pie which was fantastic (you must like a bit of citrus ‍ sour flavor) and the jasmine panna cotta which was so light and airy ... would definitely come back to try more of their dishes! Recommend making a reservation if going during the weekend!

    Had an incredible brunch this morning at Rooster & the Till. Every time I visit my taste buds are blown away by how they keep crafting such unique, creative creations. Each bite and each sip top the last. We shared several dishes. The Tater Tot Waffle was easily the best bite, it was crispy, rich, and perfectly balanced and the caviar add on is a must. The Avocado Toast and the "Chipped" Bulgogi were both exceptional, and the Adobo Chicken Omelette had a nice kick. Finished off a great meal with an Edition Danish topped with a perfectly balanced lemon curd. The food was paired with a couple fantastic cocktails, the Strawberry Shortcake, that tasted exactly like my favorite spring time dessert and a BFE-Tini. Rooster is always a great experience, the vibes are always great thanks to DJ Mike Blenda and the service is always perfection every time. This is one of my favorite restaurants for a reason. They knew it was my birthday and brought me a birthday card signed by the whole crew and put topped the meal with a candle in my Danish. It was a warm and caring touch to a perfect brunch.

    Had a very enjoyable meal here, ordering a la carte to try as many things as possible. Service was friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was comfortable and not too loud despite being busy and clearly popular. All the food was very solid - I really enjoyed the calamansi pie and black sesame desserts, so much that I would have got a second order of each if I wasn't so full.

    I've now been here twice-- on a limb for my birthday dinner which was amazing and for their summer series brunch. My first experience here was super amazing. There was a group of about six or seven of us and we ordered small bites and shared with the table so we were able to try a lot of of the menu items. My favorite was the cobia collar, prawns, charred cabbage... the broth of the cobia collar was so good. My friend even asked to take it home as leftovers, the prawns were fresh and large, and the charred cabbage was everything we needed to get our veggie intake in in the most tastiest way. We started our dinner with caviar bumps and champagne... The caviar bump can't be charged in order loan, but it's even better when you pay for a glass of bubbly and the caviar bump comes with it as a packaged deal . I will say if you are celebrating a birthday or anything they do not provide complementary cake or dessert or anything like that . parking isn't the best... But there is a parking lot at the tile shop that is for rooster and the til customers the menu changes, which is amazing! Staff was kind and every time a plate was served, it was explained. I think it's kinda dark in there, but the vibe is nice. Also certain seats at the bar, you can see the open kitchen!

    This is an incredibly thoughtful restaurant with not only the food they serve, but the service, speed, and order of food, the ambiance and the open kitchen-concept, and the sounds and smells that you experience while dining in. I knew this place was Michelin recognized, so it's been on my want-to-go list for a while. Sam was our server and she was fantastic! We sat at the kitchen bar seats and immediately got to see and converse with the cooks as they were preparing the food. Every single dish I saw get made smelled SO good and even had me with some remorse I didn't order that. (Especially the 16oz Za'atar short rib. I will be back for this.) The food that we did get was all fantastic. They even gave us a dish (the seafood tartar) in between our prix fixe from course 1 and 2 because the chef was honest and said the soft shell crab was delayed. I was extremely impressed by their attention to detailed in our pacing and continuous resetting of the table and silverware. My favorite from the prix fixe menu were the wagyu hanger and the banana guava dessert. Just incredible flavors and ingredients they choose to use. I would absolutely come back. This place is expensive, but it won't break the bank considering the quality of food and service you are receiving. It's truly a treat.

    My husband brought me here to celebrate my birthday and let's say he got all the brownie points. I've had this place on my list for so long and I am disappointed I have come sooner. The staff was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food. The ambiance is inviting I love seeing the kitchen in the middle of the dining room. We tried soooooo many things and each item had me speechless. Our waiter Caleb was delighted at my reactions lol. Every dish had such a punch of surprising flavors. They even gave me a birthday card at the end of my meal, I mean what a sweet touch. You can really taste the love and care put into each dish so wonder they are rated Tampa's number 1 restaurant. I cannot wait to come back.

    We've been wanting to go to Rooster & the Till for two years and finally got around to it this week. WOW. This meal blew me away!!! From the beginning, the restaurant was upscale and modern. The service was exceptional. I highly recommend sitting at the chef's bar because you can see how they prepare each item. There is so much artistry behind their dishes! We decided to order à la carte and every single dish was a hit. Tortellini di pesce: Incredible dish!! Delicious grouper filling, perfectly cooked pasta, amazing fennel slaw topping. Roasted maitake: I would become a vegetarian if I could eat this dish everyday. Insanely delicious spices, refreshing compressed green apple slices. Roasted golden beets: I never thought that beets, ricotta, and sourdough could be such a delicious combo. It was almost a dessert (in the best way). Hamachi crudo: Once again, who thought that hamachi and strawberries could be the perfect pairing. The balsamic flavor with the mint and pink peppercorn toppings was incredible!! Cobia collar: The fish version of fried chicken. So crispy, flavorful, delicious. I loved the spice from the thai chilis with the freshness of the cilantro and the vinegary sauce. Vindaloo Pappardelle: The dish we ended with and it was certainly a showstopper. The lamb neck was braised to perfection, the pappardelle were clearly fresh, and the pistachio pistou was so flavorful. We also made room for dessert (I don't know how!! Portions are actually decent) and got the dessert from the prix fixe menu, the banana and guava ras el hanout. The spiced banana was delicious with the refreshing guava lime granita topping. The candied phyllo was superb. I loved how the dessert was really gratifying without being overly sweet. I cannot speak more highly of this restaurant. Every single employee here is genuinely SO nice. Every single dish is PHENOMENAL. I just ate here and I already can't wait to come back.

    Wow what a great place! We had the watermelon tuna which was awesome! Then curry croquette another HR . Then the ribs were on point! Great drinks and service!

    Oh my goodness... !!!!!! This place is out of this world. Food was very flavorful and different from other spots Chicken skewer- wonderful and flavorful. I could eat 10 of those lol Prawns - my least favorite. 4 units only and not fulfilling. The curry sauce was wonderful though. Gnocchi- good but a little plain. Ribs - what was this? Soooo good and tasty! My favorite savory option Desserts: Calamasi sorbet : almost like a key lime pie - very citrusy Sesame ice cream: for gods sake, the best dessert I've ever had in the past 10 years. No joke, it's unbelievably delicious and speechless Latte and cappuccino were both on point and very creamy. The only downside of this place is the smell. The exhaustion fan doesn't seem enough and you will be smelling like all the food they are cooking. This wont prevent me from coming here again but it's definitely unpleasant Overall, F A N T A S T I C!

    Golden beets

    Come here to stretch your palate, experience sophisticated flavor combinations you cannot find anywhere else. My teen daughter devoured the golden beets, yakitori, and tortellini dishes, savoring every bite. Sam came to our table with unsurpassed professionalism, knowledge, and refreshing positive attitude. Thank you, Sam! The place is small, and fills up quickly. Give yourself extra time for traffic. It's worth its weight in gold!

The area surrounding the restaurant is beautiful and makes for a great place to walk around and explore. Once inside, the atmosphere is just as impressive, and thankfully the food, drinks, and service live up to the hype. My dad and I started with the Gator Tail appetizer. Neither of us had ever tried alligator before, so we were really curious to see what it was like. Turns out, we loved it! It tastes surprisingly similar to chicken and was a fun way to try something new. For our mains, my dad ordered their famous Meatloaf, and after trying a bite, we completely understand why it's one of their signature dishes. It was excellent. I went with Barry's Tomahawk Pork Chop, and it was outstanding. The pork was cooked perfectly; juicy, tender, and not dry whatsoever. The real star, though, was the guava demi-glace, which added such a unique and delicious flavour to the dish. The beer selection was great too. I especially enjoyed the Wedding Beer Berry Lager, which was refreshing and packed with flavour. We also saved room for dessert. We tried the Candied Maple Bacon Ice Cream and the Bourbon Butter Cake. The ice cream wasn't really my favourite; I thought the cornflakes were a bit of a strange addition, but my dad enjoyed it. The Bourbon Butter Cake, on the other hand, was delicious and a great way to finish off the meal. Between the beautiful setting, excellent food, great drinks, and friendly service, it's easy to see why Ulele is such a popular Tampa destination.

For brunch, we ordered deviled eggs, whipped feta, lobster Benedict, sweet potato hash, and the fish amandine. Everything was excellent.

Hubbys sweet potato hash was flavorful and filling. The lobster bennys had quite a bit of lobster and the old bay hollandaise sauce was perfection.

They did remake a plate to go for us, so that was nice. The food was a little meh to me. The short ribs could have used some salt or seasoning before making the ravioli's (same with the chicken parm) just a suggestion. Pasta tasted undercooked and as if it was box pasta. I've lived in nyc and have had some really good Italian food there so I'm a little critical. I think Olivia is a little more hype and a nice ambiance for being in south Tampa than good food.

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!

The only miss was the dessert we chose - we chose the molten lava cake, but instead of chocolate, it was more of a coffee cake caramel flavor. The caramel in the middle was still cold. It was served with cookies and cream ice cream, which was yummy, but an odd pairing with the caramel. Our server was so accommodating and removed this from our bill since it wasn't properly baked. Overall, the dessert did not ruin our lovely evening, and the great service and amazing views!
