Absolutely loved this experience!…read more I came here for a friend's going away party. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive. We were checked in on every 15-20 minutes and water was constantly replenished. There was ample free parking both in the lot as well as on the street for a Tuesday night. I was impressed by the karaoke set-up. There were so many song choices, including new releases. You could adjust the amount of backing vocals as well. Everything was controlled by a self-serve tablet. There was plenty of seating in the room and you couldn't hear other rooms which was nice. Highly recommend for a private karaoke experience!

The karaoke room are always clean, the service is good and it's just a really fun plan with friends. One of the times I also tried the food, and it honestly surprised me. The burger was really good and the fish dish was delicious too. I do think it's a little pricey but overall it's a great place to do some thing different in Tampa. I'd definitely come back!

We asked to sit in the lounge for the dj. We were told no, too many people in our party. We asked again day before... told no We get there, today... we asked again and are told oh sure you can sit back there. Barely anyone back there. Wtf?! We sit, we order lots of drinks. Then we order appetizers: chips and caviar dip, charcuterie stand & bacon. Bacon and charcuterie were lovely. The chips were cheap lays potato chips broken from the bag. Have some hand cut chips to go with caviar... Then for brunch we had quiche, carpaccio, 2 surf and turf Benedict's, steak sandwich, lobster roll, and some mushroom toast. My quiche was sour. I don't know how else to describe it. Spinach and feta which I love normally but every bite was OFF. Table tried it, they all agreed. Lobster... in the sandwich and Benedict's were so fishy and so overcooked they were like rubber bands. Sad. The food wasn't eaten sadly. I heard the steak sandwich was decent from my friend but the rest was so subpar. We drank more and got the heck out. Doubt we will return. Was not worth the price for his hungry we left after bad food. Again, service was stellar.

Staff was warm and inviting like sitting in your cool Cousins room listening to music. The drinks were delicious( you forgot they are alcoholic). The catfish bao bun was seasoned well and didn't taste like a regular doughy bao bun. It was ssooooo good. I still think about it. Only reason for the downscore is the specials were not loaded and had we not asked we would have paid full price. A small oversight that was corrected. Worth a visit if you are looking for a nice place to go.

Poor execution…read more Nothing about this place feels elevated. You can tell from the moment you walk in. Feels like minimal effort was made to create a thoughtfully designed experience. You walk in and it feels incomplete, almost like you're at someone's party who booked the room for a special occasion. Every table has a QR code and that's mainly how you place your order. There's a "server" that walks around delivering the orders but he looked lost and confused. For a speakeasy the cocktails aren't well-crafted. If you want a great Japanese cocktail there are better options in Tampa. The food menu is limited. There's a food truck pulled up out back and that seems to be where they're cooking the food. We ordered 2 orders of bao buns and only received one. We told the "server" who stated the food truck was backed up. He didn't offer any assistance, didn't apologize or checked on the status of our missing item. Music is good, great songs played but the DJ would randomly cut into the songs and speak over them which made his set sound quite amateur. Overall I wish them success but unfortunately I won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone I know.

We were seated promptly, and our servers, Mia and Bryce, introduced themselves and were stellar from start to finish. They were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We ordered the Little Gem Cobb Salad, Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls, and the Breakfast Egg Roll--every single dish was absolute perfection. 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!

The bartenders work really hard but I was served in a reasonable amount of time. I give it three stars because of inconsistency in pricing. The first time I paid $15 for a margarita on the rocks and $20 for a glass of red wine (not good quality) with no tax; the second time I was charged $8.50 for a bottle of beer and $20 for the same margarita and there was tax. The third time I was charged $10 for that same brand beer with no tax. So go figure. There is seating at the bar or in the lounge. One night there was live acoustic music, which was nice.

We started with the bruschetta, which was fresh and delicious. The pesto was a fantastic touch and set it apart from the usual version.

If you go, ask for Alex. I'll definitely be back!

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.

It definitely started to fill in more by the time we left at 7:15 and there was barely any standing room, so definitely recommend a reservation! We really loved the overall vibe. Great DJ playing, cocktails were good and they had a decent happy hour. The music did continue to get louder as more people filled it, so it was difficult to have a conversation without sitting next to each other. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting considering it feels more like a vibey lounge. We didn't mind it, just were surprised. One thing that was upsetting was when we received our check. We saw on the menu when we first ordered that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to all checks - totally fine by us and we were okay with this. However, when we received our check, the gratuity line was clearly marked through as if it wasn't a part of the total bill and this felt sleezy to us. It already was added and included in the total, so it felt like an intentional way to get people to over tip. We really didn't appreciate that and it left a bad impression on us.
