It has a cozy, slightly witchy, zen vibe. The cocktails are creative, the spirits list is thoughtfully curated, and Connor provided excellent service. The drug eggs were SO FLAVORFUL!

That is what I was looking for, and that is what I got. Up first, I tried a $15 Grapefruit Moon. The bartender warned me if I don't like grapefruit, I won't like this drink. Holy smokes he wasn't joking. I was hoping the mezcal would cancel out some of the grapefruit, but it really didn't. Super duper strong grapefruit taste. Then, I tried a $15 Martini. It's a pretty standard dirty martini. I liked it, and it was fine. Good to see there is a place in Ybor with real cocktails, and not cheap awful cocktails served in a plastic cup. I didn't try any food or any other items. I'd just be a little worried that on a Saturday night during primetime there were like 10 people in here. Although, that's also why I walked in here because it was quiet and not crowded.

This was an amazing treat for my birthday, thanks to my mensch of a husband. The ambiance is so…read morecool, very 1920s. Dark, sort of quiet. A large group of women celebrating something just behind us were a little louder than I liked, but hey, I was celebrating too. Just not at 12 decibels. The cocktail menu is insane. So much stuff to try! Everything is named for or given notes about how it relates to a classic novel or story. Food selection is minimal in comparison but I get it. It's a speak-easy, it's all about the booze! The food we did get was rather tasty. Since this took place in early August and now it's the first week of September, I can't recall the names of what we had. My husband did try the Frankenstein style cocktail. So cool! Go for dessert, it's so amazing!

Inside you'll find dark and chill lounge vibes. Nice lit back bar with tons of bottles and a fun cocktail menu! All of the drinks are hand crafted with unique ingredients. They are on the pricier side but they comes along with the ambiance and ingredients used. We got the white rabbit which had an orange blossom foam, and also the memories of capri. That was a more savory cocktail which was super good! They do also offer small bites and the full food menu since they are attached to RO. Overall a great experience and cocktails at Jekyll!

I ordered a wine flight, and while the wines weren't my favorite the bartender's friendliness more than made up for it. Ordered a cheese plate which was so generously portioned I couldn't finish it. A coworker joined me and we both also orderd flatbreads- me an Italian and her the Hot Honey & Pepperoni. The food was all fabulous. Would definitely return.

It has been my replacement since The Saint closed in St. Pete. Service is fantastic and bartenders are always willing to make recommendations and walk you through their offerings like their wine flights. DO NOT pass on their small bites! My only critique is that on a busy night, it can turn into a dive bar feel versus wine bar, but being stuck in DT, I can't complain. Don't pass it up!

The Tenderloin Carpaccio lacked depth of flavor and no ribbons of parm. Wife had the Bucatini Carbonara. It was ok but for me lack depth of flavor. The prosciutto was there but really did not get much of an effect. Staff and service was great.

Stopped by for Happy Hour and was a little confused about the current specials. It isn't clearly…read morestated online because I thought it was 50% off all tap beer/wine + $5 off pizzas but the waiter just advertised $2 off drinks - I asked additionally about the pizza and he then did clarify it's still $5 off. Disappointed about it no longer being 50% but just wish it was advertised more clear on social media/at the restaurant/online. Anyways, the restaurant is very cute and I like the shaded outdoor area. We ordered some wine, beer, and pizzas. My fiancé enjoyed the beers and my wine was not very good but the cheapest glass so I wasn't expecting much. We ordered Price's House and the fig & prosciutto pizza - both were $19 which is not crazy expensive but Price's House imo is overpriced. The crusts are thin and crispy on these pizzas if that's your style. Price's house was pretty average, salty from the salami, not enough mozzarella (some pieces didn't have any), not much flavor to it. The pizza is not bad by any means but nothing special and overpriced imo. Could get better pizza elsewhere for that price. The Fig & Prosciutto was OUTSTANDING. So much flavor, sweet and salty, fresh from the arugula, all-around 10/10. Would recommend this one to anyone debating which pizza I would have rated this place a 3/5 but that fig & prosciutto pizza really carried it home and made it seem like they have pretty good food and I just ordered the wrong thing. I would def be willing to try this again!

We paired our meal with Watermelon, Passion Fruit, and Pineapple Mimosas, which were equally delicious. We also learned they have a great nightlife vibe featuring live DJs, so we will definitely be back. Huge thanks to Mia and Bryce for making our visit so memorable!

The ambience was cute, the rooftop views were nice, and our waitress was friendly. We ordered the cheeseburgers, which were good. The jerk chicken egg rolls weren't really my favorite, and the pineapple purée dipping sauce was definitely different. The vibe of the place started to transition while we were there. When we arrived, they were just setting up the DJ for the night, and by the time we left, bottle service was kicking off and the patio was getting more and more filled in. Overall, it was a cute spot for a chill first-night date vibe early on. Just know that Thursday night seems to transition into more of a social/mixy crowd as the night goes on if you're into that!
