The ambiance is beautiful, the service is always excellent, and the food is consistently delicious. They also have amazing coffee and a great drink selection. Everything I've tried over the years has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. It's one of those places that always leaves a great impression, whether it's your first visit or your tenth. I always enjoy bringing guests here, and I'll definitely be back again!

I was really disappointed by my experience recently because I had actually recommended this…read morerestaurant to the other guests with me, who had never been before. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with an over-hard egg, while another guest ordered the same sandwich with an over-easy egg. When our food arrived, the over-easy sandwich was correct, but the sandwich placed in front of me had an over-medium egg with a runny yolk instead of the over-hard egg I specifically requested. I always make a point to clearly ask for a fully cooked egg because I cannot tolerate runny yolks. I politely called our waitress over and explained what had happened. I told her that the sandwich in front of me belonged to the other guest, and that the sandwich they had received appeared to have been intended as mine, except the egg was still runny and wasn't cooked over hard as ordered. Rather than listening to my concern, she responded in a very condescending manner and insisted the order was correct and that we simply needed to switch plates. I explained that switching plates would not solve the actual issue--the egg itself had not been cooked as ordered. She eventually took my sandwich back to have it remade, but after that interaction she rarely checked back on our table for the remainder of the meal and seemed to avoid us entirely. I never raised my voice or made a scene; I simply wanted the food I ordered prepared correctly. Mistakes happen in any restaurant, and I am completely understanding of that. What was most disappointing wasn't the kitchen error, it was the dismissive response to a reasonable request and the lack of service afterward. Since I had spoken so highly of this restaurant beforehand, it was embarrassing to have my guests experience this as their first visit.

Went here for the Blueberry Festival! A lot of the event was super lively; people could shop from…read morevendors, pick blueberries, drink blueberry adjacent wines and beers, and have foods with a blueberry twist on them. Luckily there was a lot of outdoor seating, so it wasn't too difficult to find a seat. I ended up getting the sweet blueberry wine, blueberry flatbread (had caramelized onions, arugula, and prosciutto with a blueberries glaze drizzle), and the blueberry shortcake. The wine was lightly sweet and not dry. The blueberry flatbread tasted more of the caramelized onions and the blueberry drizzle added a little hint of sweetness and tartness. My favorite though was the blueberry shortcake. It was soft and the blueberry compote was absolutely delicious. Although it was rich, it didn't feel heavy. I wish I had gotten another slice. In general, I've been here before and it's nice and cozy inside with great service! I love trying all the flavors available with their wine and beer flights (some are seasonal). Honestly, sometimes I buy their wine by the bottle in stores because it's actually just that good.

Service was great and so was the food. I got the sangria and the wine burger. Hubs got the tacos. Love their French fries too! The crispiness and the seasoning on them is just plain good. The wine burger was delicious and probably my fav entree they have.

5 Stars for fancy chocolate perfect for gifting (or a "treat yourself" moment)!…read more I finally took the plunge and got a couple of truffle chocolates and fruit-shaped patisseries from O Bon. First thing I appreciated was the super friendly staff who helped me make my choices. When you're paying over $3 per truffle, you want recs! They also helped me pick the fruit cakes. Though the treats were an absolute delightful indulgence, I see these being my go-to hostess gift from now on. They look decadent and meticulously crafted and come in great packaging worthy of gifting.

Still the best of the best! Sadly they are closing on May 31st. The best cocoa latte ever!read more

Armature Works is one of my favorite spots in Tampa! It's the perfect place for lunch with so many…read moredelicious food options all in one location. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming, making it great for families, friends, or even a casual date. I also love that it's pet-friendly outdoors, so you can bring your dog along while enjoying the beautiful Riverwalk views. There always seems to be something happening, from live music and markets to seasonal events, which makes every visit a little different!

As someone who visited Tampa as a tourist, Armature works is a must-go-to food court area, it's a…read morepretty popular place teeming with people, and there you can finds all sorts of foods such as Sushi, drinks, BBQ, ice cream, there's even a place there that has carnival food, or what I went there for, Cuban food. The Cuban sandwich and flan I got there were amazing, and the people were friendly, something I've noticed with people in Tampa in general shout out to them. Overall it had a good vibe, an old fashioned sort of style of interior with stuff to do all around it, the World Cup was also going on so in the back of the building there was a watch party with a giant screen for the Argentina V Switzerland game, which just gave me the feeling of "hey, this place is awesome they even do screenings in their back yard!"

I absolutely love the…read moreaesthetic of this place and going on a weekday was a much better idea than the weekend due to less crowding. The service was wonderful. Both our server and the bartenders were super engaging and gave great suggestions. As for the food, extremely delicious! The tacos were flavorful, but I wouldn't recommend the corn tortilla because it barely held it shape against the juicy meat. The rice and beans were well seasoned, and the drinks were delicious. Overall, I definitely will be returning to try the happy hour as the bar tends to have options you can't get in the dining room. Eight out of 10 highly recommend!

We tried Agave Bandido on a Saturday for a birthday celebration with a party of 16…read more Overall, it was a very good time. The ambiance and designs are amazing. We didn't have time to try the SpeakTiki. The service was very good with efficient and friendly servers. The drinks, apps, and entrees were mostly accurate and timely. There were a couple reasonable mix ups that were quickly resolved. During the ordering, there were a lot of distractions with the World Cup Soccer game playing. The food was good, but not above average overall. Four of us had the fish tacos and all agree were lacking an acceptable amount of fish. The taste was good, but the cabbage exceeded the amount of fish. The chimichangas had good reviews as well as the quesadillas, but most Mexican restaurants make them just as well. The one outstanding item was the Bandido Taco. Again, definitely not a lot of steak, but the flavor combination was fantastic! A bit pricey at $8 for one taco with no sides. The Winter Garden location isn't an area we would normally travel to, but given the average overall food quality, we will probably stick to closer Mexican restaurants.

I have now been here twice and have to say that both times I thoroughly enjoyed myself!…read more I have drove by this place many times and never equated it to being a quaint tea room until it was introduced to me. From the outside, it looks like a red barn thrift store. But it's actually this cute, charming thrift shop in the front, garden space in the middle section, a store front in the back side and a tea room with inside and outside seating by the pond in the far back. I love the fact that the inside tea room is stocked with different eclectic tea cup sets and that each table is decorated with a matching set for the guests. I like that you are provided a menu of the teas of the day to choose from and there is one from black tea, green tea, herbal tea and a specialty flavor. It gives a nice variety for the table to enjoy. The finger sandwiches/pastries are just the right size and I absolutely love the balsamic dressing that goes with the salad. Tea time has become one of my favorite things for a nice little time away from all the hustle and bustle of normal every day life.

It is a very cozy and eclectic vibe. Their are several other small local shops on site, including a small home goods store and antique and plant store as well!

Our table was able to pick 2 tea flavors. We had salad, scones, pastries, and savory sandwiches as well as desserts, and they accommodated our vegetarian preference! We were all stuffed by the end. Highly recommend everyone try this place!

There is plenty of seating both indoors and out. Make sure to order the pretzel with beer cheese--it is amazing, and they give you a perfect cheese-to-pretzel ratio (we actually had cheese left over!). While wine tastings are a bit pricey at $3-$4 for a few sips, their selection is fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed every single one I tried. They also sell the bottles retail, with some priced around $30. If you prefer beer, they have an amazing selection, including some house-made brews. You have to try their Pilsner, it is easily the best I've ever had, featuring a very unique orange and spice flavor profile. Just keep in mind that they close at 5:00 PM on Fridays, so it's definitely a brunch type of spot rather than a nightlife destination. They also have a great event space upstairs!

Tickle me pink mimosa 7/10: a little tart but was good and it was very cute. Fairy sangria 7/10: came with glitter which we didn't realize until after we were almost done. But it came with a souvenir glass which was nice. It could've used a little more liquor. Chicken and waffles 9/10: the croissant waffle was delicious. Yes a croissant waffle - they make the croissants in house and turn them into waffles. The chicken was crispy and they loved that the waffle wasn't soggy when they served it. Chicken was seasoned well. Shrimp and grits 9/10: the creole sauce was so flavorful and had a nice spice. They weren't stingy with the shrimp portion and they were seasoned well. I wish there were more grits to absorb some of the creole sauce. I would still get this again m though. Waffle (on the side) 9/10: waffle was delicious and the pecan butter was so good and took it to another level. Felt there were too many strawberry pieces on the waffle, but it was really good. Breakfast flatbread 10/10: person enjoyed this and felt the gravy base was flavorful. Initially gave it a 20/10...it was so good.
