    Nate Plate
    Nishant N.

    We wanted to have breakfast on Saturday morning, so we went to Willa's. We found parking in their lot. We checked in at the reception, then got seated at our table and greeted by the server. After looking at the menu, we ordered Black Coffee, a Latte, a Chicken Salad Sandwich, Nate Plate with Salmon, Scrambled Eggs, and Kids French Toast. We got our coffees first, and they were made really well, a great start to our breakfast! We got the rest of our food around 10 minutes later. We had Chicken Salad Sandwich, Nate Plate with Salmon, Scrambled Eggs, and French Toast for breakfast, and they were all delicious! The Chicken Salad Sandwich was great, it was well-made and came in good portion, which really satisfied our hunger.

    Brussels!!!! And more brussels!!! So many toppings! I wish these brussels were more charred, but there is so much going on. I love all of the flavors combined. I've never had brussels amongst so many other food items all at once. Highly recommend. The espresso martini here is brewed with legit straight from the espresso machine espresso. Super duper duper strong espresso taste. I think it was even too much espresso for me. The French onion soup was pretty good. Not as good as Boulon on Water Street, but I liked it. The $11 Green Machine tastes like some health drink, but it actually has alcohol. Pretty wild. Cool little spot. Kind of in the middle of nowhere. Glad I came here after work one day. I'll be back to eat more brussels!

    I went to Willa's for dinner on Friday night with my girlfriends and it was such a cute and easy spot for a Friday night out. It was busy but not packed, which we were honestly relieved about since it was the day before Valentine's Day. We were a little nervous about the wait but got sat right away, and our server was great. We all ordered the French onion soup and it was incredible. Definitely the standout of the night. We decided to do a bunch of small plates and appetizers to share. Overall everything was good, but I was not over the top impressed with the shareables. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, but we also ordered the bread, chips and dip, and a meat dish. The meat felt a little odd since it did not come with crackers or anything to pair it with, which made it harder to share. I have been before for brunch and personally think it is a better brunch spot or a place to grab drinks. I just did not find too many things on the dinner menu that I was super excited about. Still a really cute atmosphere and a fun spot with friends.

    The mushroom omelette
    Samantha S.

    The service was great - always filling water and offering suggestions for food. The mushroom omelette was so good. The eggs were super fluffy and the mushroom sauce was amazing. The side salad made for a well balanced meal. Not pictured was the biscuits and jam - yum! Those were a perfect appetizer to the meals. Their coffees are always on point too.

    Had brunch here on a Thursday and really enjoyed it! It wasn't super busy around 11am, my friend and I brought our babies and there was ample space for us and 2 high chairs without it feeling cramped or chaotic. Our waitress was so nice and quick to give us the highlight reel of the menu and give us some great recommendations. The iced caramel latte was fantastic - not overly sweet and not watered down. I ordered the huevos rancheros, I would definitely recommend. The chorizo is really good and the jalapeño cream sauce is just the cherry on top. I did scrambled eggs on the side, so I could give my baby some eggs without all the extra stuff as well. We'll definitely be back because there were quite a few items we wanted to try on the menu but could only fit so much into our stomachs!

    Schnitzel
    Alysea J.

    We came here for a casual lunch. We sat outside and loved the outdoor seating and pleasant weather. Our service was awesome, the server (I forget his name, he was an older gentleman) was kind and attentive. Our favorites from the menu was the first mocktail on the menu (they have it on tap and it was so good and refreshing!) and the potato latkes, which I loved with the apple butter. The rotisserie chicken and schnitzel were great too. Make sure you stop by next door for coffee after!! They have some great lattes!

    Here's my take. I have visited Willa's twice and had two very different experiences. The service was exceptional both visits and it has a cute vibe inside. Nothing crazy just a subtle cutness. Now for the food. Once I visited for brunch which was amazing! They have a delicious ricotta, lemon curd French toast breakfast and a fun coffee selection. I tried bites of everyone in my parties food, and it was all amazing. Last night I visited durning dinner, and it just wasn't my thing.I felt like the dinner menu was overpriced for what it is. I would suggest looking over the menu before you go. With all that being said, this spot is know for brunch and I can see why! I highly recommend visiting for brunch.

    Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich
    Matthew O.

    There is no shortage of good brunch spots in Tampa. But Willa's stands out as offering some excellent healthy options beyond your standard omelette and pancakes. Love the ambiance and mix of bar top, diner, and classy restaurant. Gives this place such character. Service was friendly and fast, making for an enjoyable experience. I got the Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich. Love the Alfalfa Sprouts, which provided a nice vegetal contrast to the smoked salmon. The house made chips were a good side compared to your standard hash browns or breakfast potatoes. Lovely place I would come back to with friends or family :)

    Avocado toast, very simple and not full of flavor
    Michael N.

    The food was very bland , great atmosphere and beautiful ambience inside. Restaurant was not accommodating. We could not order scrambled eggs without dairy after telling them of a. dairy allergy. There are no meat alternatives such as turkey, bacon, turkey sausage or chicken sausage.. only pork I gave it a 3 star

    Mushroom omelette

    Stopped in for breakfast yesterday. We ordered a matcha latte, iced coffee latte, and a hot chai tea latte. They made a mistake with the coffee latte like 2 times and our waitress was super friendly and changed it no problem. Service was super friendly. The place is very cute. We enjoyed breakfast plate, and mushroom omelette. Definitely a great little neighborhood place!!!

    Really cool, easy going vibe. Service was quick and the staff is very knowledgable of their menu. I had the DBL Cheese smash burger and my wife had the Chicken Schnitzel. Burger was juicy with crispy fries. The chicken schnitzel was larger than anticipated. Great flavors and was not disappointed! Finished off with an old fashioned and a chai iced latte. I would definitely recommend if looking for a brunch/lunch venue that is quick and tasty!

    Had a very pleasant experience at Willa's; my party was seated very quickly and the waiter was very friendly and swung by multiple times to check in on us; I had one of the chicken salad sandwhich which came out great; highly recommend to all

I had the coconut lime glazed black grouper which featured purple sticky rice, a red curry emulsion, pineapple jalapeño chutney & herb salad.

Definitely opt for this app! - Grilled Honeynut Squash ($29): what a delightful surprise! The flavors were sweet but savory and the yuzu cranberry paired so well with the garlic tahini. The Brussels were out of this world, I could have used more of those! The only miss on the dish was the onion pakora- I loved the onion outside layer but the inside was too dense and didn't taste very good. Everything else on the dish was fantastic and a good portion - Hat Yai Fried Chicken ($42): this was tasty with the purple rice and papaya atchara to give it a nice crunch and texture. I only had a couple bites as this was my boyfriend's dish but he enjoyed it!

I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen.

There are a few parking garages, but even those are a pain because people park like idiots. The parking situation isn't On Swann's fault, but it's an annoying factor. We had reservations well in advance, so we didn't have to worry about a wait. It was reasonably busy for a Saturday at brunch time. The decor and overall ambiance was classy but comfortable, which is great imo. Our server was nice and checked on us a good amount of times. The wait time between ordering our food and it coming to the table felt a bit lengthier than I would typically expect, but the food was delicious so it's hard to even complain about that. I got the short rib hash and a croissant and both items were wonderful. The croissant was flaky and buttery, it comes with a honey dip and butter on the side, would def get again. The short rib hash was also a menu item I would order again - the eggs were cooked perfectly, and I'd say I'm a little picky with how runny my eggs are. These were runny, but not TOO runny. The potatoes had a nice crisp to the outside but nice and soft on the inside, the short rib was so tender, so juicy, it was just a very well rounded, great tasting hash. This was my first time visiting On Swann for brunch, I'll be back for sure, but maybe on a weekday instead of the weekend since it seems to get pretty crowded in the Hyde Park Village area!

We were seated at a super small table so it made for an uncomfortable situation with so little real estate available. Also the place looks like it's converted from a garage or something with metal walls and roll up doors that made the sound bounce around. The service was nice. We were well taken care of but they seemed to be spread thin because getting refills and getting our check took a bit longer than expected. One ssue was that the menu was very different from what was online via Google. I should have gone to their website I guess, but several items were not available and the filet I was so excited for had a very different set of items. No Brie au gratin potatoes or braised rainbow chard, citrus gremolata and a fig chutney. Now, let me say that my filet was delicious. I loved the sauce and the asparagus was good but for me, the potatoes were super underwhelming. A nice sauce or something would have made them better. They just tasted bland, were really dry and lacked any flavor. My wife expected the lamb or pork chops, they were both not on the menu. She got fish and chips which she really enjoyed, so it was a win. The Asian wings were our appetizer and were delightful too. Now the only real negative for us was the noise. We got there at 5:30 and it was fine. But as more people came in, the sound bounced around so bad that it became almost unbearable for me. I wanted to go so bad because people laughing and talking made my head hurt. Would I go back? Probably not. I didn't enjoy how loud it was. The food was very good though, so perhaps takeout would be more my speed. We had a nice meal and my leftovers were delicious later that evening.

    My partner and I came for our anniversary and we were extremely satisfied! service was incredible,…read morefood came out perfectly timed and amazing !!! We got the Honey and Ham pizza, caesar salad, short rib pasta, and couldn't forget the viral chicken parm! The drinks came out right away, and we were given a complimentary anniversary drink! The Tiramisu is one of my favorite!!!!! The ambiance was very calm especially for a Saturday night! highly recommend to anyone !

    I was sadly and honestly disappointed. I don't see us returning unfortunately. We were sat next to…read morethe servers station, we suggested to the manager that they put up a barrier for future guests. First we could not hear each other from all the silverware clashing and second throughout our dinner 3 times glasses were shattered at the station. The third time we were concerned, a little piece of glass had fallen in our food. The server and the manager were nice but the manager seemed to think that the solution was for the servers to slow down. That doesn't make sense to me but ok. They did remake a plate to go for us, so that was nice. The food was a little meh to me. The short ribs could have used some salt or seasoning before making the ravioli's (same with the chicken parm) just a suggestion. Pasta tasted undercooked and as if it was box pasta. I've lived in nyc and have had some really good Italian food there so I'm a little critical. I think Olivia is a little more hype and a nice ambiance for being in south Tampa than good food.
