    Airline Chicken.
    Jean-Marc P.

    Good service, cool ambiance and solid food. I had the airline chicken, it was very good. Recommended, especially if you're staying in the hotel.

    Deviled eggs

    Gorgeous restaurant, great vibes, great service. The Dan is located at the bottom of the hotel, Hotel Flor, now owned by Hilton. It's an obvious and easy choice to dine here as a guest, but still worth a visit for locals. We loved the ambiance of the restaurant and the service was great, but I think there's room for improvement in the kitchen. The spinach dip was luke warm, but still tasty. We ended up sending it back to be reheated and saw another table send theirs back later that same evening, so didn't look like they learned. The bacon on my deviled eggs needed to be cooked more and the egg whites were really dense. They reminded me of the eggs in the packages at 7-11 or Starbucks. There were several tables around us sitting without food for what seemed like a really long time, so my guess is they're understaffed. Overall, a pleasant time and a great place to grab a drink and an appetizer or dessert.

    Guac on bagel with salmon?
    Andrea S.

    I hate to say this but this was pretty bad. The only good thing about the experience was the style of the bar/restaurant which was beautiful. However I took my mom here today for Mother's Day brunch and it was , I hate to say this but awful. I really don't like giving bad reviews but they were severely understaffed which took about 35 minutes for them to come to the table to take our drink and food orders. we were supposed to get mimosas immediately but that came out about 40 min after our food. The drip coffee was 5 dollars each. I ordered the salmon bagel sandwich which tasted old and not fresh. It came out with the bagel covered in guacamole which it didn't come with and I didn't order so I asked for it to not have guac on my salmon sandwich and it took another 30 minutes to get me a toasted bagel. My moms food was fine she said. You can't mess up scrambled eggs. Don't come here.

    NYE menu

    This is a great place to come for drinks at the bar as their drinks were very good. The food and service fell short. We did come on NYE and they were understaffed it seemed so hope that is not the normal experience. If you are staying at the hotel, then this would be convenient at least. The restaurant itself had a cool ambiance and decor. The lemon dessert came out totally frozen which was hard to eat but it was very delicious. We had a party of 5 and 2 ordered the filet and they were both overcooked. The halibut was ok but it was covered with a charcoal garlic and coconut sauce that made the dish look unappealing. It was also served with the same veggies as the filet. I would come here for drinks again.

    I dined at the Dan as a solo valentines endeavor. The vibe was romantic and I was seated very quickly. They had a special valentines day menu, but I'm sure some of these items are on the standard menu as well. I was suggested this cute drink (pictured). It was stronger than expected and the flavor was not as layered as you'd expect considering how visually attractive the drink is. I ordered a chicken entree and this was the most disappointing part. The chicken looked undercooked and rushed, then the sauce was shallowly flavored. Very mayonnaise heavy and was kinda just slapped onto the chicken. I didn't end up finishing my dinner. I did receive a nice surprise though when the waiter brought out some cotton candy. I love cotton candy so that was really a treat. There is limited street parking as it's located downtown, but there are some nearby parking lots

    The Dan was certainly an experience! The dining room is super cute and the ambience is very sultry. The Caesar salad was a little soggy, but good flavor overall. The lamb Pappardelle was delicious and would recommend that over the salad honestly but could use more meat as it is shredded lamb. The bread pudding was to die for and I truly enjoyed that perfectly sweet crispy yet gooey and the ice cream was delicious with it. The one thing I would complain about is that the server didn't seem as engaged and seemed disappointed that we didn't want to get appetizers. We just got drinks main course and dessert.

    We came here because we were staying at the hotel and we had a credit, and it was great my husband got steak and eggs and I got the omelette the potato's. The food took forever we still had pleasant time.

    We had an amazing time at The Dan! We went there to celebrate a birthday Ana it did not disappoint. There is a ton of construction outside which made the walk up not as exciting for the experience was phenomenal. Our server, Doug, was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Across our table we had the following Jalapeño queso / not good. Not flavorful at all Brussel sprouts - AMAZING!!! Branzino - WONDERFUL Truffle sachetti - wow! So good!! The brown butter bread pudding - Phenomenal The cocktails were also pretty good and we loved that the check came with cotton candy. The only reason why we didn't give it five stars is because of the queso, all the construction, and we still had to walk from the valet station.... But valet was only $10 which was nice

    Before hitting a show at the Straz, I was excited to try this place out. The ambiance from even outside with the NY-style scaffolding to the lovely rich interior as you walk in felt like we had a great place in downtown to eat! We were seated and our server was nice and attentive...we ordered some apps and one in our party is GF AND DF! That's quite a combo, so we had some questions and we opted for a couple of appetizers. One was the deviled eggs, we weren't sure if there was dairy or not in these, so we also ordered the hummus which was supposed to be rainbow carrots (as you can see in the picture, it was your normal ordinary bunch of orange carrots). While we were enjoying these, as the flavors were good! We learned that the deviled eggs were both GF AND DF! Unfortunately our friend who couldn't eat those things did not get to have any. They put in for another order for us, that was very nice!! and appreciated. Both appetizers were yummy. I'd order them each again, although would really like the actual rainbow carrots (so include the whites and purples next time). Here is where the show really went down. We had all ordered the salmon. The salmon tasted ok. They were all just a bit overcooked. And the vegetables were like straight out of the Publix frozen mixed veggies box. Without any flavor or seasoning. Literally with the lima beans and corn... They did add some halved grape tomatoes and scallions, but even with that, flavorless vegetables! Coupled with the slightly overcooked texture of the fish, it just ruined the whole vibe. The check came in a book, all discreet-like. Cute touch. Again, our service was good, we enjoyed the ambiance, but the food is really what you're there for and it sadly just wasn't worth what you're paying these prices for.

    Cocktails

    When I'm traveling in a new city, it's rare for me to find myself dining or imbibing in the hotel that I'm also staying at--I want to get out and check out all the hidden gems and just walk around and happen upon places somewhat organically. But The Dan is a little hidden gem of its own, and I recommend it even if you're not staying at the hotel. The cocktails are fun and playful, really well-made. Even the classics come out stunning! The food menu is paired down and I'm a huge fan of that because (usually) it means a place does those items well because they're not trying to perfect a phonebook's worth of dishes. During my stay I tried the French onion dip (loved it but could come with more chips to start), the burger (the absolute best after a long day of hoofing around Tampa on foot), and the fried chicken sandwich (good but messy)! Everything came up quickly and the ingredients were quality. The service was great! Olivia is an absolute peach! Some folks have mentioned that prices seem a bit high, but I thought they were quite reasonable, myself. Would return if I ever find myself in Tampa again!

    Fried green tomatoes Caesar salad Brussel sprouts
    Taryn C.

    We stayed at the Hotel Floridian and stopped by the Dan on our way out and it was delightful! We cannot recommend the fried green tomatoes enough!!! So so good. We also had the Brussels sprouts and Caesar salad which were also good. The service was superb, and the vibes were spot on. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because of the current construction and pricey nature of the food. Oh and the check came with cotton candy such a good time!

    If you are thinking about eating at The Dan, take this as your sign. My partner and I went to the Dan for our anniversary before a candlelight concert.. it was our first time there, and unsure of how busy it may be we made reservations online. It is located on the first floor of Hotel Flor, and valet is $10 if you choose to do that. The ambiance is very 1920s speakeasy vibes. Very beautiful space. When we arrived at around 4:30pm, the restaurant was mostly empty besides a few people at the bar. JJ, who was being both host and our server, greeted us immediately. He offered us to pick any table we would like, and gave us prompt and wonderful service. He was genuinely so kind and made sure we had everything we needed. He offered opinions on food options when asked and definitely steered us in the right direction with his recommendations. I ordered the truffle ravioli and my partner ordered the ribeye frites. Unfortunately due to an event at the hotel, they were out of the meat and offered to substitute it with a petite filet. When our food came out, JJ was accompanied by the manager, Daniel, who saw that the petite filet was in fact quite petite. They immediately offered several options to ensure that we left both full and satisfied. The food was amazing. The steak was cooked to perfection and the ravioli (with shrimp added on top) was to die for. We also ordered the bread pudding for dessert and wished we had ordered more because it was HEAVENLY. JJ and Daniel both continued to check in on us and make sure we had a wonderful dining experience. Daniel is a fantastic manager and truly did everything he could to ensure that we were happy. We will absolutely be repeat customers, not only because of the wonderful food and atmosphere, but mostly because of Daniel and JJ.

    The food was amazing! with a large party they accommodated us flawlessly. our server heath was a delight. 10/10 would recommend.

The hostess was pleasant when arriving and presented herself with exceptional sleek style. Someone brought me a palate cleanser drink which was rhubarb and lemongrass water. It was smooth and refreshing. The server guided me through the cocktail menu which was an exploration all its very own. I choose the cocktail called Opposite Day- Japanese whiskey, sweet Sauvignon Blanc, salted wine and roasted beets- twist on a whiskey sour but flipped! Oysters were light and fresh and the juice in the shell was precision clean. It really pops the flavors of the oyster. Yellowtail jalapeño handroll- it is designed to be eaten similar to a taco. The yellowtail was superbly fresh, the jalapeno was a mild touch to accompany the dish and didn't try to be the star. and the homemade soy sauce didn't over power the fish. Duck leg finished with a Szechuan spice and finished a pear au jus. The duck fell off the bone and was bursting with a complex blend of elegant flavors. As you check is presented they served you the tea of the day which was Hibiscus citrus Japanese tea in the most sophisticated teapot sitting on Japanese bamboo, which was a nice touch in the meal Upbeat modern music vibe Helpful, friendly weight staff that explains every item in detail as you order it, and when it brought to the table.
