A great stop on David Island. We wanted to get some ice cream and we definitely found the right spot. They offer Lots of delicious it's hard to make up your mind but my kids were set on cotton candy and Gator tracks. Both were super yummy with little flavor bites inside in each . Definitely will be stopping in for lunch because the food here smells amazing!!

This a great spot on Davis Islands for a quick meal at an inexpensive price. It's a very casual place with quick service and good food. It's situated on the quaint block of Davis Islands Village with several other restaurants and shops. I had the bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel. It was good, but the amount of eggs and bacon inside the sandwich was minimal. The hash browns are great. I would definitely try their food again.

Nice "All about the U" Miami Hurricane sports deli and ice cream shoppe. Kindof a strange combo, but it worked for me and my family. They have inside and outside seating and are very pet friendly. They even have a fresh baked pup cookie for sale. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick. We ordered at the counter from the menu posted on the wall behind the counter. All of the items were clearly described, and the guy behind the counter explained all additional options. GET THE FRIES! Small upchage, but they reminded me of the days of hot fries at the Bashore Little League ball fields a block away, as a kid. We tried a few different sandwiches, and we were all thrilled what what we ate. My Miami Cuban Sandwich was delicious even though it was not on Cuban Bread, and it did not have pickles in it. The club sandwich was huge and full of fresh turkey, ham, and bacon. The Tuna salad sandwich was fresh and filled with a giant scoop layered on tomato and lettuce between super soft bread. The other star of the meal was the fresh pasta salad. This is definitely someone's mom's recipe. In all, I really liked this place and can recommend it for a great sandwich to eat in or take out. I didn't try the ice cream but next time, for sure.

It's great to have healthy options to order at Farrell's. My go-to option - a Greek salad - add chicken.

UM decor galore!

I'll be honest, I initially stopped in here just because of the University of Miami flags in the windows! But I'm so glad I did, because their ice cream was awesome. I'm a proud Hurricanes fan and alum -- it feels like I'm one of the few in Tampa. So when I saw the UM decor (and was in the mood for ice cream), I figured it was just meant to be. I walked in to see an impressive amount of Canes memorabilia on the walls and in display cases. Might not mean much to most of the people in Tampa, but I sure got a kick out of it. In fact, the owner told me he put the flag up when he first took over the location, only to have a man stick his head in the door and tell him he'd never stay in business with the UM flag on display. So naturally, the owner went and bought another flag to put up on the other window, haha. Okay, so the ice cream! They have a good selection to choose from, and you can try as many flavors as you like. You can even combine flavors in their smallest size. I tried the chocolate fudge brownie and the toasted coconut -- and even though I didn't think the two would go together, I got a small cup with those two flavors. Turns out it tastes like a Mounds bar! The ice cream is great quality and much better than some other places around town I've tried. I can't wait to come back and try their food -- and naturally have more ice cream for dessert!

always a tradition in getting icecream during a trip to davis islands. most of the usual icecream shops i went to as a kid are no longer there so i was surprised that this place had icecream along with lunch like sandwiches. the icecream was very creamy and was perfect on a nice fl summer hot day. not a bad price too for a good scoop.

My husband got the seasonal tomato soup and he wouldn't stop talking about how good it was. I got the prosciutto salad and it was really good but unfortunately there was no prosciutto. We both got the beef tenderloin and it was amazing! I got the bread pudding for dessert, it was very good. My husband got the creme brûlée cheesecake and it was just ok. The views of Tampa were amazing and it was a smooth ride. It was nice that you could get up and walk around between courses. The "boat in a boat" bar was cool. We were very glad we did indoor seating because it was so hot. There was a table outside that came inside for a bit to cool off, they were too hot outside.

We arrived in Tampa early for the Lightning hockey game and an acquaintance recommended this place…read morefor supper. We arrived about 4:15pm and the place was already packed with revelers (a good sign). We squeezed in just in time, as they had a lone table available for us! We ordered a 10 count of wings, served "Dave's" way, a Cubano and a Philly sandwich (to split and share the sandwiches to try them both out). One sandwich came with fries and the other pasta salad. Cold beers arrived quickly, and it was a nice bonus that happy hour was taking place. The food was actually quite delicious and came out hot and ready. I enjoyed BOTH sandwiches, but if I HAD to chose only one next time I would have to go with the Philly! It was very flavorful, with the meat was so tender and the whole thing just melting in my mouth. I would go out of my way just for that sandwich again - BURP! The chicken wings were perfectly done and I liked "Dave's" way of doing business. I'd get those again, albeit I would be tempted to also try some of the other seasoning/sauces. The fries were really good as well. I did not taste the pasta salad, as I was too full, so my partner was on his own. The place is loud, so don't expect a romantic low-toned conversation. Just saying. It's is a sports bar after all, and a very popular one at that. When we left there was a line out the door of folks waiting to get in (another good sign). As for the service - we had great service by our waitress. She was a busy bee too, bouncing from table to table. We did not experience, or witness, any "rude" behavior on the part of the staff as several reviewers claim they did.

Once out of the shell it had a smushed texture it was very odd. The pot pie only had a crust that covered the top no bottom. I would think for $40.00 it would have a pastry bottom. My husband made reservations for our special day. The waitress was excellent she was pulled away from our table to work outside. That was very disappointing and it made our experience unenjoyable. She was running around trying to help everyone, it was obvious she was overwhelmed. They gave us a dessert to share for our anniversary, that was very disappointing and it didn't taste good at all. We paid almost $400.00 for two meals, it would have been nice if they gave us two desserts for our wedding anniversary. We decided to leave early because a group of loud rowdy people came in and sat right beside our table about 15 or 20. They definitely disturbed the relaxing vibe. It definitely did not feel like fine dining, that loud group ruined the atmosphere for everyone else and the manager did nothing. He should have asked them to tone it down. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. * Update - I sent an email to the customer service at Boulon Brasserie. It took a very long time for me to receive a response. I received a follow up email from the General Manager asking me to contact him. I called but was unable to reach him for weeks. He asked me to tell him about my experience. I explained that our lobster didn't taste fresh it was mushy. The seafood pot pie had no flavor at all and it was very disappointing. I had the pleasure of dining in Paris and the food at Boulon Brasserie was not up to par. Also we had an issue with the loud noise of a dinner party that changed the atmosphere. After speaking with Mr. Carlos Robles, General Manager he said he was looking forward to turn me and my husband into an advocate of Boulon Brasserie | 1001 Water St. Mr. Robles sent us a gift card for $100. dollars to return and partake in more fine dining. However with the high prices on the menu, this amount clearly would not cover the cost of two meals. We spent $400 on dinner to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and he sent us $100 to make up for our bad experience. Although we appreciate the gesture. I don't feel as if I want to put any more of our money into this endeavor, because clearly we would have to pay additional funds to cover the expenses. It's just not worth it. One bad experience is enough.

We decided to try the calamari, and while it was cooked well, the flavor fell a little flat--it could've used a touch more seasoning or sauce to really make it pop. That said, the happy hour deals made it worth a try, and the portion was fair. The Donkey Kick, a Kentucky mule featuring four roses bourbon, house-made ginger-mint syrup was very good drink for happy hour. Where Battery really shined was in the service. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome, attentive without being overbearing, and genuinely friendly. That alone kept the experience positive and left us open to trying more of the menu next time. Overall: A stylish Channelside spot that nails the service and happy hour atmosphere--just hoping for a bit more punch in the flavors on the plate.

He was doing his best, but it was clearly too much for one person.
