Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird.

Even the pickiest beer drinker can find something here. All the food here is solid. This time I decided to get a custom made pizza. Despite being pre-game busy, my server was happy to oblige. Ordered a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. It was very good. Not just, "good for any restaurant", but "good as a high end pizzeria" good. Be prepared if you come during a pre-game. Lots of activity, lots of people, longer wait times. So come early, or after the game and enjoy pizza and your favorite beer! On a side note, I've heard a rumor that a Yard House is coming to Wesley Chapel in the future. Can't wait.

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!

I came here for lunch and it was a great experience. On…read moreSwann offers interior and exterior sitting, just be careful of the no-see-ums, when sitting outside. Connor was my waiter and he was friendly and attentive. Check on my table frequently and knew the menu well as he recommended a few options. I really enjoyed the spring salad and added blackened chicken. For the entree, I tried the chicken sandwich that was delicious and love the fries. I highly recommend On Swann!

We kept saying, "There's no way the next course can top this," and somehow it always did. Days later, we're still talking about the meal. The cocktails were just as impressive, with creative presentations that made them as fun to look at as they were to drink. Everything felt thoughtful and beautifully executed. Service was warm, attentive, and perfectly paced. We had a relaxed, leisurely dinner and never felt rushed, which made the entire experience even more enjoyable. One final bonus: parking couldn't have been easier thanks to the garage directly across the street. Between the incredible food, excellent cocktails, and outstanding hospitality, it's easy to see why Mise en Place has remained one of Tampa's most beloved restaurants for so many years.

Oak & Ola has become our go-to restaurant for large birthday celebrations, and they exceed our…read moreexpectations every single time. We've celebrated multiple birthdays there with groups of 20-25 women, and they always make the experience feel effortless. While many Tampa restaurants require deposits, minimum spends, or limited menus for large parties, Oak & Ola simply welcomes us with open arms and genuinely seems happy to have us there. The service is consistently impeccable, the food is both beautiful and absolutely delicious, and the restaurant itself offers a gorgeous atmosphere with stunning waterfront views. It's clear that every detail matters to them. They reserve a special table for gifts, have even printed custom "Happy Birthday" menus for us, and on our most recent visit, Chef Margaret came out personally to wish the birthday girl a happy birthday. Our servers were phenomenal. They anticipated every need, kept everything running smoothly for such a large group, and never missed a beat. Coordinating a party our size is no small task, yet they made it look easy while making every single person feel cared for. If you're looking for a restaurant with exceptional food, outstanding service, and a team that truly knows how to make guests feel special, Oak & Ola is one of the very best in Tampa. We can't wait for our next celebration there!

My wife and I came for our anniversary dinner after seeing the menu online. The food seemed so…read moreinventive and exciting. We were seated at a super small table so it made for an uncomfortable situation with so little real estate available. Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me. I wanted to go so bad because people laughing and talking made my head hurt. Would I go back? Probably not. I didn't enjoy how loud it was. The food was very good though, so perhaps takeout would be more my speed. We had a nice meal and my leftovers were delicious later that evening.

If you're in the mood for an appetizer, I suggest the Herb Focaccia (the herb oil is delicious), potato chips and dip (I believe the chips are homemade), and when in season the olives. The olives were my favorite, but they haven't been on the menu the last several times we visited. We've tried half the menu but my favorite is the rigatoni that you can get without protein or add to the side. As for dessert, I absolutely love the s'mores chocolate custard. Also very delicious! The service is always serving! lol it's always quick, attentive, and friendly. The only downside is the limited time you have at your table (90min) when AJ is there to dj, but we get it! :) I do recommend going on a night when he's there, and also on a night when you can have more time to hang out. If you're going on a night that AJ is there, be sure to book a reservation well in advance.

I recently came to Willa's for lunch here is what I thought…read more Atmosphere: The place is quaintly and simply decorated with pops of color throughout the space. The space is big with lots of natural light coming in which I loved! Bathrooms: They have restrooms for men and women. The women's restroom had two stalls. The bathroom was pretty clean. I didn't like the coloring of the bathroom, it would make me crazy if I had to sit in there for a long period of time. Service: The minute we walked in, we weren't greeted by anyone and we just looked around because we'd never been here before. It took about a minute or two for someone to help us get a table. The rest of the service was good overall. Our food came out quick. I do wish the happy hour options were explained to us when we sat down, we had to ask our waiter to explain it to us. Food: I'd say overall their food is good, it's not the best I've had in Tampa. If you want to come for a decent brunch and drinks this is a good spot. We tried the 'potato latkes' as an appetizer which was really good. I had their 'Smashburger' for my entree which was good, but I've had better. I did like their fries. The drinks were the best part! I had their 'Pink Hugo' which was really good and my friend had their 'Green Machine' which was delicious. Overall the food was good, but nothing amazing to me. Maybe I didn't order the right thing. I'd be willing to come back and try their brunch options as that seems to be what people like the most. Overall, it's a good place to come for lunch with a friend. It wasn't super busy on a weekday, so you don't need a reservation. The prices are decent, but everything in Tampa is more pricey now. **Parking Tip: they have a VERY small parking lot for customers behind the building. There is a larger gravel parking lot behind the building where you have to PAY to park. It was around $6/2 hours, I'm not sure if it's more expensive at different times. Try to look for free street parking in the area if their free lot is full before going to the paid lot! Or if you can car pool with friends do that!
