There is a nice size bar area and they had the hockey game on. Go Bolts!! We were seated in a booth. Our server Jason came right over with water. He had a new server Bri that he was training. She was really sweet and helpful. We placed a drink order. I had the Strawberry Basil Martini. My first martini ever and it was awesome. I will definitely get it again. For my entree I got the Shrimp Scampi. And my husband got the Smash Burger with fries. Let's start with him.... He cleaned his plate. He loved it. I enjoyed my meal as well. I have leftovers. Can't wait to finish it off. We did enjoy desert. The salted caramel cheesecake. Yall let me tell you it was Amazing. So rich and tasty. Yum!! We had a great time.

We ordered avocado egg rolls and the dipping sauce was a light tamarind sauce which is sweet. It's a somewhat diff flavor profile than we are use to and we liked it. It came with six which essentially is 3 egg rolls cut in half. We had a hard time deciding on a cheesecake so Yoshi asked one of the waiters who tried a bunch of cheesecakes to come over and make his recs. In addition, the guy working at the cheesecake counter knew a ton and was an expert on all the different cheesecakes, sweet, rich, not too sweet, etc. All of them made our experience great. The service here is excellent. In our other visit, we had the chicken Madeira. This is our go to here. We know there's a big menu but we just get stay away from it. We love our brown bread too. And the asparagus, mashed potatoes and chicken are great to share. We also ask for extra Madeira sauce bc it's that good. We did like the chocolate turtle cheesecake w/ added raspberry syrup. But miss the very cherry Ghirardelli chocolate that they discontinued. Love sitting in the comfy booths here and the lighting. They also have outside seating that is covered as well. It's right across the street from the main entrance to the outlet mall. Plenty of parking but be patient looking for it.

For example they offer three different kinds of vodka with Tito's being one of them. It's on the fourth floor of the hotel with a view of the western sky for sunsets along with the sports fields. We kiddingly said parents could sit up here with alcohol in hand and cheer on their kids way below on the field. Seating: inside they have bar seating with about seven chairs. There is a single TV at the far left of the bar (see pic), so this is not ideal to watch sports on TV. No sound or closed caption. Outside it is just plain hot this time of year until the sun goes down. They have fans but for some reason they weren't on and the temp was 95. There were a couple people sitting outside but they didn't last long. Around sunset I'm sure this is the place to be. There are multiple sofas and areas to sit outside. Also a large Jenga stacking block game is available to play. There are at least two larger TVs outside. The parking lot indicates parking should be paid for. There are numerous signs with giant QR codes to do this. Since we were only there for an hour to grab a single drink we didn't pay for parking. When there are large tournaments going on at the neighboring sports complex I'm sure the hotel does a better job at patrolling who parks at the hotel and maybe then expects parking to be paid for. Drinks: happy hour is from 5p (when they open) to 7p. There is no happy hour menu (this would be a suggestion to make things easier on both the bartender and the customer). We were there at happy hour so took advantage of $8 white sangria and $8 cranberry with house vodka. They also give 10% off to locals. They normally have cards they provide for future use, but the bartender indicated they ran out and were on order. Food: There is a few food choices, including a smash burger and appetizers. They also had a couple cake slices on special. We didn't eat so can't speak to quality or time before ready. Service was average. There was only one bartender at 5:30p on a Wednesday with no sports going on at the complex. We got our drinks fairly quickly. They were tasty but served in small cocktail glasses and not much alcohol. For happy hour discounted pricing this is commonplace. I will be back to try it again, hopefully for a sunset this time!

For my drink, I took the chocolate old fashioned (13 dollars). It was strong enough and chocolatly to enjoy. For my main plate, I chose the chicken wings (10 for 17 dollars), half fat rabbit sauce (quite garlicky) and other half siracha. While the wings were not breaded, they were still fried. It was definitely crispy, but still meaty and tender. The sauces were flavorful, and the siracha had the right amount of heat. The ranch dressing was homemade and so good, I ended up drinking it. There could have been more celery, but it was fresh and crispy. They only had one dessert, and unfortunately it wasn't homemade, so I passed. My bartender was friendly, but busy. She had a helper, but lots of patrons to serve. Yet, she was still very nice and helpful when needed. The vibe is social and casual. I would have thought they would have more USF students, but mostly locals who are enjoying a good atmosphere. Outdoor seating is available as well, and it looks like you can bring your pooch too. When it was time to check out and pay, I noticed they forgot to charge me for my drink. When I mentioned that, they told me not to worry about it. It was a very nice gesture from them. Parking here is easy as it is located in the Publix complex. There is also a Don Julio's and Bundt Cakes nearby for dessert too. The Fat Rabbit pub provides great casual bar food in a social atmosphere. The indoor dining is large enough to feel comfortable, and outdoor seating is also there if you want to enjoy with your dog.
