    I came to the Getaway for a girls brunch recently. Parking is always a nightmare here, especially on a busy weekend. We were promptly seated at a waterside table, luckily we had some shade! It was fun watching the boats and paddle boarders go by. They have a variety of coffee drinks and cocktails for brunch. I decided to order the chicken and French toast, and it was a perfect combo of sweet and salty for breakfast. They also have a full lunch/dinner menu. Cute spot to check out for a meal or drinks!

    A friend highly recommended this spot to me, so I decided to stop by for a quick bite -- and I'm so glad I did. This place is truly a hidden gem... emphasis on hidden! If you're driving, pay close attention because there's no sign on the main road. Additionally there is a small foliage-covered pathway leading to the restaurant that makes you feel like you're going on an adventure. Once you arrive, though, it's absolutely worth it. There's plenty of seating, including a beautiful area by the pier right on the water. The scenery alone makes for a great experience. My table ordered from the happy hour menu: conch fritters, fish dip, fried shrimp, fried grouper, and two Key Lime Coladas. The total came to around $58, which felt very reasonable for the quality and portions. The standout for me was definitely the fish dip, but honestly, everything was fresh and delicious. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided service with a smile throughout the visit. I'll definitely be back!

    Visited on a Thursday evening. It was very slow. We had our choice of seats. We sat outside. They had fans to keep it cool. The waitress was extremely nice. The food came out quickly and was pretty good.

    3 stars for the vibes. Staff is friendly but the service is slow. Ordered the $27 grouper bites and it lacked seasoning. Good place to stop in for a drink and views.

    Getaway to the Getaway!

    We had a fine January Florida Tiki lunch here, @Peter and I. We arrived just before 11am and the parking lot was already full! That's a good sign! There is overflow parking at the beach to the east. Upon checking in to ask for a table, I was asked for a phone number and I was surprised there was a waiting list already!? False alarm... we were seated immediately and given a choice of sun or shade. We picked shade! The tables are spread out and very comfortable, unlike many crowded or touristy places. Sarah was our waitress and she did a very fine job, handling my special ingredient requests (due to a strict doctor ordered diet) with grace. She checked on us but gave us time to chat. Excellent really. I got a mocktail of the bartender's choosing and blackened grouper bowl. The mocktail was tasty and not too sweet like I requested. The grouper portion was large, seasoned and not overcooked. It even came with a fun purple edible flower! We relaxed, enjoyed the breeze, enjoyed the view, and enjoyed our meal. Conversation flowed. Life is good with a tiki lunch in Florida in January!

    3 stars for the food, 5 stars for the ambience = 4 stars for The Getaway. Elite Dave W chose this restaurant for our regular monthly get together because I mentioned Tiki at our last outing. Dave W's choices never disappoint. There is plenty of parking and most of it was full. At 11am on a Friday the place had a surprisingly lot of customers. This is a truly authentic Tiki Bar. Most places that advertise Tiki are just open air thatched huts. The Getaway is a large, sprawling, beach front property that winds its way around, among, and through the shady palm trees and thatched pavilions. The atmosphere is truly fantastic! We were offered a variety of seating options. We chose shady with a view of the water. We were led to a wood table with comfortable woven bamboo chairs. The only metal I saw was the silverware and half way hidden speakers. The view of the water included kayakers, small boats, and wooded islands. The January weather was kind to us: 75 degrees! The menu is eclectic. The food was only slightly above average, and the price a little more expensive: you pay for the ambiance. Sarah , our waitress, was cheerful and laid back. Everything about the Getaway is laid back. I ordered a Mai Tai, Calamari, and Volcano Shrimp. We were never rushed and had plenty of time for conversation. The tables are well spread out so you get a feeling of privacy even though there are 30 or so tables in sight, and another 20 or so tucked among the trees and tropical shrubs. The Getaway is a perfect place to show off the Florida vibe to out of town guests.

    The Getaway is so gorgeous, tucked in between mangroves and set right on the water where you can listen to music, watch boats cruise by and enjoy a beautiful sunset! The a variety of fun and refreshing drinks on the menu. I stopped by today while I was out on my paddle board. I took a break to enjoy a rum runner and sat out on the dock. They have a great happy hour with food and drinks. The bartender gave me the happy hour menu and was very nice. I always have a great time at The Getaway.

    The perfect afternoon 'getaway' and wrap up to our Tampa area vacation. So many choices of seating...lush tropical restaurant dining, 2 Bayside bars, or a tiki hut on the sandy beach. A variety of food choices. The Chicken Cobb Salad was delicious. Large portion and fresh produce. Grouper sandwich was also a favorite. Definitely try their original lime margaritas . Very refreshing. There is a 5% service charge added which covers all the amenities offered on property. Adirondack beach chairs dockside for watching the dolphins and yachts go by in the bay, sandy beach, wooden Bay side swings and get conversations at the bar are a few of the activities you can enjoy. Should be a MUST VISIT locale when in Tampa Bay for sure!

    This tropical restaurant exudes beachy vibes, offering stunning views and delectable food. Despite its spaciousness, the food arrived promptly, and our attentive server ensured a pleasant dining experience. For just $18, a 16oz Long Island iced tea is an excellent deal! I indulged in the soft shell crab sandwich, featuring two large, deep-fried crabs nestled within a brioche bun. It was simply delicious!

    I've been here around 3 times before (typically with tourist friends) and every time I'm disappointed. This time, I was with an out of town friend who was looking for somewhere on the water to grab a bite as we were headed back from the St. Pete airport. Parking was not bad on a Friday afternoon. We were seated quickly and drink orders were taken quickly. It took a while for drinks to come out, and every longer for a food order to be taken. We had to ask multiple times for water refills. When food finally did come, my salad was good, but not worth $18 in my opinion. Then, we sat for so long waiting for our check, we had to flag someone else who was not our server for assistance. Overall, not worth the overpriced food and drinks and poor service just to sit on the water.

    The view! We were seated quickly and had a table right in the water. We ordered drinks (weak) and apps to start. The brisket jalapeño poppers were good but spicy (maybe left seeds in). I would skip the conch fritters. Dinner was okay, nothing special. If I came back it would be for the views and a simple lunch.

    If you're looking for a laid-back spot with a true tropical vibe, this place is a must-visit! The atmosphere instantly makes you feel like you're on a beach vacation--complete with sand seating, beautiful water views, and a breezy, island-inspired setup. I ordered the Island Pancakes, and WOW--easily some of the best I've had. Made with coconut milk and topped with coconut shavings, they were fluffy, flavorful, and had the perfect hint of sweetness. I definitely would recommend this place !

    I don't know how I had lived in Tampa, my whole life and had never heard of this place before but now that I've discovered it I'm obsessed! The food options are endless, they all taste amazing, the drink options are even more endless and are even more amazing, and the service is top-notch. Stopped by here with some girlfriends for dinner and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends, go on a date, watch the sunset, dock, your boat, and grab drinks or food, and so much more. I'm already looking forward to going to this place again and showing people who come visit such a unique spot in the Tampa Bay Area!

    Is this place still open? They will not answer the phone or respond to my online questions

    Yes

    Is it dog friendly?

    Only dog friendly on Tuesdays, otherwise service animals only anywhere, major attitude from staff, would not recommend with dogs

    Do you have heaters outdoors?

    There aren't any out in the beach and dock area but maybe some under the tiki bar.

    Hi! Just moved to the area ana stopped for lunch today. I saw a boat pull up and dock while I was eating, with COVID I was wondering if is that an option to dine at restaurant ? I'd love to come by jet ski or boat...

    Of course you can! One of my fav places to take our boat to!

The highlight of our visit was our server, Jake. His recommendations were spot-on. He checked on us throughout the meal without ever being overbearing. Appetizers: Spicy Tuna Nachos (with the crab salad and avocado add-on. This was Jake's recommendation) This was hands-down our favorite appetizer. The crab salad and avocado are a must. Everything paired perfectly together, especially with a dash of soy sauce. Kickin' Shrimp with Bread. The shrimp was flavorful and cooked perfectly. The only small suggestion would be to serve the bread in smaller pieces, making it easier to share. Entrees: Loco Moco - 8.5/10: Great flavor and cooked well. The only thing that would have made it even better would be adding some vegetables on the side. Blackened Grouper Fish Tacos - 10/10: Absolutely amazing! The grouper was fresh and not overly fishy, and the mango salsa added the perfect touch of sweetness and saltiness. The flavors were balanced. I'd order these again. Paradise Signature Sushi Roll: Another great addition to our meal. Overall, Hula Bay delivered on every level. We had great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and amazing service from Jake. Highly recommend.
