    Philly Cheesesteak Egg Roll
    Steve D.

    1983 has SO much going for it! The location is beautiful, the atmosphere is fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a better day to enjoy the outdoor patio. The service was outstanding, and the drinks were on point! We started with the flatbread and cheesesteak eggrolls, both of which were AMAZING! The quiche, steak tacos, and steak hash were all good as well. Unfortunately, the food had some misses. The salad served with the quiche was noticeably wilted, and the berries accompanying another entrée were clearly frozen rather than fresh and were still partially frozen when served. On the drink side, I enjoyed TWO of the S.O.B. (South of Gandy) tequila cocktails, while most of our party went with the martini flights, which they absolutely loved! Overall, the ambiance, service, and drinks were easily five-star worthy. Unfortunately, the food just wasn't consistent enough to earn 1983 a spot in our regular restaurant rotation. That's especially disappointing because everything else about our visit was so fantastic. With a little more attention to the food, this place could easily be a five-star experience!

    Had a really great dinner here on a Saturday night. It was not busy and the service was great. Our drinks were strong and the food was delicious. We got the filet skewers with goat cheese pasta and the short rib Mac and cheese. This would be such a fun place to watch sports too.

    Overall, I enjoyed the experience, but I wish I liked the food more. We came on a Saturday morning for brunch. I was really worried about parking because I remembered what it was like with that early on, but it seems like their parking has expanded. I think it's because it's now right next to a fitness studio that together they realize they needed a lot more parking, so there is quite a bit of parking in the parking lot behind it. That being said the restaurant wasn't that crowded so I don't know what it's like when both the restaurant and the fitness studio is crowded, but for a Saturday brunch, we had no issues finding a parking spot. We primarily came because the kids wanted to try the arcade. We got super lucky that the kids went into the arcade before a birthday party started. Once the birthday party started, they put out a sign that said there was a private event so it was completely closed to the public. That would've been such a disappointment so if you are really looking forward to the arcade like my kids are, I think it's worth a call ahead of time to make sure there is no private event that has booked that space. Overall, I wish I like the food better. The pretzel board was delicious and definitely a highlight. I got a mint tea that was absolutely amazing. At first. I felt like it was a little too sweet, but I really warmed up to it. Next time I should ask though for the sweetener on the side for me to control the sweetness level. I got the steak hash, and I wasn't a big fan. The steak was slightly over salted, although it was cooked perfectly. The potato hash was huge chunks of potatoes, so I just felt like it was a major potato overload. Overall, for the price of the dish, I thought it would be much better. I think fewer potatoes would have made it better, because the meat if it wasn't over salted would have been quite good. I got my eggs sunny side up and they were cooked perfectly. I really appreciate their kids menu, it has pictures of all the food so the kids were able to look at the pictures to choose. They both wanted their own pizza, one with fries, the other with fruit. The fries were delicious my son love them, the fruit was also good. They both only ate one slice of their pizza so we definitely could've gotten them one pizza to share. I got them both gummy bear lemonade, and it was actually quite sour to my surprise. We asked to switch out one lemonade for a Coke when my older son wouldn't drink it. I was surprised that we ended up being charged for both the Coke and the gummy bear lemonade when he didn't drink it. However, overall, our service was fantastic so I'm not going to let that small thing dampen my review of the service. My husband got the Caesar wrap, he really enjoyed it. He got truffle fries, which ended up being a good call because my older son ate all the fries. My husband got a margarita and really liked it. Overall, I think they do drinks well here. We sat outside and it was gorgeous. It's fully covered. We didn't feel that hot and they do have TV so you can watch sports. I do love the decor of this place overall. This isn't a place that we are running to come back to you, but I do believe we will be back in the future.

    Found my new game day spot! Chill vibe, great space for watching games with a group of friends. Server was super attentive and patiently answered all our menu questions. Food came out quick. Plus there's an arcade with a photo booth inside for some bonus fun. Definitely coming back!

    Buffalo wings
    Khadija H.

    The first time I went was during a big love island watch party to service wasn't as fast but still friendly. I ordered the buffalo wings and a few drinks and everything came out well. I came back a week later but on a Tuesday and didn't realize that the happy hour menu was only during the same time on Thursdays. The waitress was still very accommodating and allowed me to order the tower for 2 even though it technically wasn't on the menu. The pasta was a bit on the saltier side and I'd love if there was something different in place of the cheese but I love the concept. I would also say that the tower for 2 is actually only enough for 1 so I'd keep that in mind!

    1983 has a really cool concept and visually it makes a great first impression. The combined indoor-outdoor space gives it a fun, open energy. It's perfect for Tampa weather and the design feels trendy and thoughtfully done. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. The dishes sounded great on the menu, but the execution fell flat. Flavors felt underwhelming and not particularly memorable, especially for the price point. It wasn't terrible, just disappointing given how appealing everything looked. Service also left something to be desired. It felt inattentive and a bit disorganized, which added to the overall frustration. There were delays and a lack of follow-through that took away from what could have been a really enjoyable night. The space itself is definitely the highlight, it's a great setting for drinks and socializing. I'd consider coming back for cocktails and the vibe, but I hope the food and service improve to match the potential this place clearly has.

    Had a fun time having a drink and playing some games at 1983. They have a big bar and lots of tables, but also a decent size gaming area!! Lots of fun games like ski ball, air hockey, shootings games etc. It's not very big but definitely enough to have some fun! I had the Key Lime Martini which was delicious and we did the $30 game card which was unlimited play for an hour. Definitely a fun stop after dinner.

    Expresso Martini

    Nice and kinda upscale sports bar ... I like the way the outdoor area blends into the indoor area. There are a bunch of arcade type of games which provides a pleasure distraction if you're looking for a kids friendly place where the adults can let the kids loss while you enjoy an adult beverage. Bunches of TVs which I imagine makes this a great place to watch sports ... though parking seemed a bit limited. Interesting enough, though I didn't check it out, but there appears to be a separate dinner type room opposite the bar/patio area. Way the low rating? Was there for happy hour and was charged $18 for their $9 happy hour expresso martini ... they did correct it but only after I pointed it out ... was a bit unsettling. Anyway, that wasn't enough to make me not come back but I will be on guard though ... which you don't want to be when trying to relax.

    1983 is such a fun, well-rounded spot in Tampa. It's relatively new, and I went twice in the same week which says a lot. The first visit was a girls' night, and the food truly impressed us. The salmon and pasta were both excellent fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. Everything felt elevated but still comforting. I loved it so much that I suggested we come back that same week for Football Sunday, and it ended up being the perfect game-day spot. We sat outside, there were plenty of TVs, and the vibe was lively without feeling overwhelming great for groups. They also have an arcade, which adds a fun touch for both kids and adults. The staff was genuinely kind and welcoming during both visits, which really made the experience even better. Parking was easy during the weekday with a lot in the back. On Sunday, valet was required (likely due to the crowd) and was around $5 totally reasonable. Overall, great food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'd confidently recommend for both a night out or game day. I'll definitely be back.

    Watermelon salad

    Tried 1983 for the first time tonight for the Girls Who Sip event they will host every Thursday 5-8pm. Networking, headshots, light bites & drinks - my dream. I was impressed by the display and the food. It was hot out but the outdoor patio was completely shaded and had a good amount of fans. Our server Justin was THE BEST!!!!! He was a natural and was super accommodating to all our asks. Not to mention very quick/efficient with all of our asks. I cannot wait to try the rest of the menu. Will be back for not only these weekly social events but in general!

    Kids menu

    Fun place for the family in South Tampa. My kids are still at that age where they love Dave N Busters. But that's in Brandon. I'm not saying that 1983 is the equivalent to DNB. It's not. Their arcade is smaller and more expensive. But it can scatch an itch when the kids want to play video games and I don't feel like driving to Brandon. I made reservations on Opentable, and the table was ready when we arrived. We had a nice seat in the main dining room. Lots of games going on in the background, but we could hold a conversation. The menu was fine for what it was. Nothing particularly innovative, but then neither is DNB. My daughter loved that she had so many options with her kids meal (she chose the mac and cheese, the french fries, the gummi bear lemonade, and the scoop of vanilla ice cream). My husband got a burger, which he described as "fine." He asked for a side salad with ranch instead of the fries, and he said that they were rather stingy with the dressing, to the point that he had to ask for more. I had the spinach and bacon salad with skirt steak. It was pretty good. The steak was cooked to medium rare, which I liked. The beverage menu was fine, more in line with a restaurant focused on brunch than dinner, but I guess that's what the beer was for! The wine list was not impressive for a restaurant that offers a $69 ribeye. My first choice of beer was out, and the second choice only had half a glass left in the tap (she brought it to me for free). I ordered a glass of the only rose on the menu, and it was fine but not worth reordering. All in all, it was a fine meal out, but it wasn't fine dining. The price was slightly higher than Dave N Buster, but I suppose it was worth the convenience fee of not having to leave South Tampa.

    I came here with down friends for a birthday. Let me start by saying that the arcade area was not as good as I was expecting. It's more geared towards kids in my opinion than adult. The inside and outside seating area was very nice and chic. The food was also pretty good I had the wings which were delicious. One of my friends got the chicken tender tower. Chicken tenders were average. The presentation was OK. Not sure if it was worth the price. Overall, this is a cool place to watch the game grab some wings and have a drink. I wouldn't come just for the arcade..

    Cheese steak Eggrolls
    Haley F.

    Food is for the most part decent. The eggroll cheesesteak meat was a bit chewy and not the best quality but plenty other items to make up for it. Pretzel is AMAZING. Chicken Tender Tower is a great deal. I will say when we went they were playing the most depressing music playlist and it was really killing the vibes. We wanted to hurry and get out because the mood was not good

The crispy pork belly was perfectly cooked, the poached eggs were spot on, and the roasted red pepper hollandaise took the whole dish to another level. It's one of the best Benedicts I've had. My friend had the Morning Bowl, made with vanilla Greek yogurt, granola, fresh bananas and strawberries, topped with honey and their house-made blueberry poppy maple syrup. It was fresh, beautiful, and just the right balance of healthy and indulgent. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented, and the service was warm and welcoming. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend Himes Breakfast House if you're looking for a memorable breakfast or brunch!

    I thought we would love it, but we ended up finding it just OK…read more This is a super popular spot. We came at about 9 AM on a Sunday and there was a 15 minute wait. A lot of people bring their children here and it makes sense that they're here early since children wake up early. They also have a really cute treasure box with prizes for the kids, so if I was here with my family, I probably would bump this up a star. However, I was here with my husband and our couple friend. The decor is beautiful. I love how bright and cheery all the decorations are. Parking can get difficult, it seems like they have just enough parking for the amount of people there. The food is what I found just OK. I got their yogurt bowl, which I guess I can't really expect to be wow'd by a yogurt bowl, but I found it to be fine. My options were limited since I don't eat pork and a majority of their meat is pork. They do have a chicken sausage, but looking at pictures. It looks like the casing may possibly be pork so I decided to avoid it just in case. I also got their cold brew, it didn't come with any cream or sweetener or anything to add. I probably should've asked for some, because I found the cold brew to just be OK. My husband got the chicken pot pie and said he expected more chicken in it. I think our overall feel of the food was it was fine, but not great. I won't run to come back here, but I also wouldn't be opposed to someone wanted to. I think that's the definition of three stars for me. Price is super reasonable, this meal will not break the bank.

    Delicious food with a lively atmosphere and welcoming staff - what more could you ask for?…read more I visited Oak and Ola for a birthday dinner and had an amazing time. Rather than trying to search for parking, we just paid $20 for the lot right nearby and it worked out great for us. We had a large group and our waiter, Zachary, was amazing. He had plenty of recommendations, anecdotes, stories, and jokes to keep everyone happy and full. He was definitely a highlight for all of us. We had a variety of drinks, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed them. I had the Sacred Empress and was so impressed with the balance of flavors - mostly sweet with a slight punch from the serrano cilantro simple syrup. It sounds funky but trust me on this! We also split a bottle of the Lagar De Costa Albariño, at the recommendation of our waiter, and we all loved it. For food, we started with the Lobster Ravioli, Truffle Frites, Crispy Pork Belly Bites, Crunch Love Caesar Salad, and Olives. All were devoured and I think the crowd favorites were the Lobster Ravioli (though expensive, $26 for 3) and the Pork Belly Bites. For mains, most people tended to get either the Steak Frites or the Gulf Fish Amandine (which was snapper). My steak and another at the table were both way overcooked on the first go around but they very quickly remade them (and the fries) and got them back to us in 5 minutes, perfectly cooked. It was a delicious and filling dish. The Gulf Fish Amandine was also really tasty, but it felt like it was missing something like a starch. It's a very simple and classic dish. The Pork Chop was also well loved amongst the table and many people wished they got it after trying a bite! For dessert, you absolutely have to get the Toffee Cake - it was everyone's favorite dessert. Super soft, warm, and comforting, plus that vanilla ice cream just took it to another level. We also enjoyed the Chocolate Mousse, and the free birthday dessert they kindly brought out for us. Overall, the restaurant is fun and lively, with an eclectic feel in the mismatched dining sets and decor. I really loved how it felt. It's definitely a nicer spot for a date or celebration, but worth it!

The Au Jus was spectacular! Literally French Onion Soup without the crouton or cheese. Overall, NOT a sandwich worth $18. The other meal was their'Avocado Shrimp Toast', ANOTHER HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT, ESPECIALLY for $18!! 2 small pieces of cold toasted bread, a THIN layer of avocado and ONE SHRIMP CUT IN 1/2 on each slice of bread.

    Overall, I'm very happy that this place is at Armature Works…read more I like to try to eat healthy when I'm out and about and also eat high protein, I found my options at Armature Works is kind of limited based on these two criteria. I'm glad Graze exists, because I feel like they have quite a few options that meet what I'm looking for. This time I got a kale Caesar with blackened Ahi tuna on it. The Ahi tuna was absolutely delicious. I found the kale Caesar had a bit too much sauce, it tasted extra cheesy to me, so I think this Caesar sauce which is homemade has quite a bit of cheese in it for those of you who may not be big cheese fans. What would have made this five stars is if it had less sauce, so next time I might ask for the dressing on the side so I can control putting it on myself. I appreciate that they text you when your order is ready so you can walk around, I was able to go back to my table and sit with the family until my order was ready. Some of the stalls do not open until 11 AM, but Graze opens before that, probably because they have breakfast options.
