It's like a soup with hot pepper seeds sunk at the bottom of a pretty large cup. I've never seen that before. The interior is very cozy. Ordered a couple glasses of Merlot. All good vibes here. Strongly recommend.

The seafood boils offer various choices and price points as well as build your own boils for that personal touch. Prices typical of most places that offer these types of seafood. The oysters were a better price point than most places and while they were good sized they lacked any type of flavor, very bland. Everything else was done well.

(I am missing the items we ordered, so I'll have to come back here and add them later, but all that matters is four people had completely different entrées, and we were all very pleased.) How pleased were we? So pleased that, a mere 7 days later, we're about to drive 1.25 hours to have another meal there, this time with our extended family of 14. The host greeted this warmly and had us promptly seated. Our server, Danielle, was magnificent! She attended to us very well providing excellent recommendations. I also want to give a shout out to the fellow who came and prepared my pasta carbonara tableside. (Alas, I will have to come back and put his name in because I don't have it handy at the moment.)

If you're looking for one of the prettiest brunch spots in Tampa, this is it!…read more The Florista at Campfire is an absolute hidden gem! From the moment you walk in, you're surrounded by gorgeous plants, flowers, cozy seating, elegant décor, and beautiful little details everywhere you look. It honestly feels like stepping into a botanical garden mixed with a luxury brunch experience. Every corner is picture-perfect! The atmosphere alone makes you want to slow down, relax, and soak it all in. Add in the delicious food, beautifully plated dishes, friendly customer service, and the warm, welcoming ambiance, and you've got an experience not just breakfast. Everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The French toast was incredible, the deviled eggs were such a unique starter, and the Campfired Breakfast definitely hit the spot. Even the café con leche was rich and delicious. Whether you're planning a girls' brunch, celebrating a birthday, going on a date, or just want somewhere beautiful to enjoy breakfast, I highly recommend adding The Florista at Campfire to your Tampa bucket list. Sometimes it's not just about the food... it's about how a place makes you feel. This place was peaceful, beautiful, and worth every visit. I'll definitely be back!

Really I wish there were two ways to "star" places. The decor and atmosphere were 3/4 starts all…read moreday. Very creative the way they set things up. Definitely unique. But the food, even while creative, was 1 star. We got the butter candle which is a totally unique dish; I've never seen anything like that before. But the execution was a miss - no flavor, and served with rock hard croissants. Also got the deviled eggs, which was $12 for three. That's $4 per half an egg. Which maybe I could forgive if they were wildly delicious. But they were not, they were bland. My burger was advertised as a wagyu smash burger. It was neither. Wasn't smashed, and certainly wasn't wagyu. Overcooked and hard, I struggled to choke it down. Served with store bought shoestring potatoes. My son's "aioli" on his, I'm about 90% sure was miracle whip. Aioli my ass. My wife only ate half her sandwich, and I'm pretty sure the rest will end up with the dog. The contrast between the creativeness of the surroundings/menu, and the quality of the food was striking. Too bad, I really wanted to like this place based on how it looked. But the food was unfortunately below average.

This is NOT the restaurant El Patron anymore!!! The new name is 200 Copas Bar and Grill. Let me…read morestart with this is NOT a bar and grill!! This is a nightclub that happens to serve food. We did not know that walking in. They all looked at us like what are you doing here? My husband even said is this a restaurant? So we asked for a menu - which is a QR code. Yes- they have food. We decided to sit at the bar and at least have a drink. It was early so no a lot of people. Everyone seemed confused as to how things worked. Most employees spoke Spanish and we do not. A bartender did speak English. He asked what we wanted and took our drink order. He was nice. We did end up getting food. Chips and salsa=$10! Other items were priced fairly. We asked for water and he claimed they only had bottles of still water=$4.50. But we saw someone else get a glass with ice/water at another table. Also be warned there is a "service fee" of 15% (for what I have no idea) and if you use a credit card 3% card fee. We searched on line to see what people said about this place and some other reviews on Google said they charge $10 to get in although we were not charged anything to come in. In the end the food was pretty good. Bottom line- this is a nightclub with an identity problem as they are trying to serve food as well and it just does not have a restaurant or bar&grill feel to it. We won't be back as not our scene, but also wish them well with the clients they really are trying to attract.

Have you ever accidentally shown up at the wrong time (too early) for a party? That's what it felt…read morelike, when we stopped by for lunch on a Friday. It was open for business, but there was only one other group of two in there with us-and only one server-who was also the bartender. It was a little odd. I'm sure this place is popping at night. Our server (who was chatty at the end-businesslike before) told us there's karaoke on Friday nights and a DJ on Saturdays. I'll definitely bring the friends back for that. The drink menu is large-it would be a fun night spot. I'm just not sure I'd come back for a weekday lunch. That's not the food's fault, though. I had chicken enchiladas verde (very nice) with some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The margarita was also good. You can tell this restaurant has been around awhile-there are echoes of genres past, with different decor still lingering (the lighting, for example). But I love the murals outside, the bar surrounds, the signage by the stage area and the other Mexican touches. I also really like the vintage windows-it's a nice nod to the past. And it's spotless in here-so clean-with lots of tables. I also thought the prices were fair. I hope they thrive!

Unimaginative menu, but I'm not about to try the food. I read the reviews and I'm waiting for olfactory fatigue to blunt the smell of the place. I'll get a pint if I can get some service, and go somewhere else for food. Music may change, but it is gangsta rap heavy as I sit here. Bathroom was unpleasant, urinal barely flushes and smells accordingly. Plumbing already loose. For a relatively new establishment, I think I've had my fill. Look at my other reviews, I'm not much of a complainer. This was just disappointing.

The waitress recommended the wontons, so I went with those, plus a classic salmon roll and a side of edamame. All in, it was a $20 meal... and honestly really filling. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the salmon roll. It wasn't your traditional small California-roll style it was a bit larger and packed with protein, which I loved. This spot is definitely a great soft introduction to sushi for people who aren't big on raw fish. If you're a die-hard sushi lover looking for super traditional cuts, this might not be your go-to, but they still have some really fun options. The new owner is fantastic, and she's been running lots of specials (including days where kids eat free!) and they're planning to start hosting events, too. Definitely worth stopping by and trying it out!
