I went here for dinner with some friends and thought they had decent food and cocktails, really cute atmosphere, good service. It was super overpriced, like $35 for a stir fry bowl with chicken plus $16 for a cocktail, plus their menu prices are all based on cash payment and they add a 4% surcharge if you use a credit card. As if their overpriced menu couldn't list cover the credit card fee, I don't think I've ever seen that at a restaurant before. Not sure I'd come back because of that, there are plenty of other places to go around Tampa. read more

Went with coworkers after a long day. We enjoyed the ambiance and the servers attention to our table despite the crowd. Highly recommend their salad. Seafood was great. Will come over again read more

Food was sooooo good! We ended up sitting at the bar; I had a yummy Bloody Mary, we got the truffle fries as an app, which were great, then we shared the French toast sticks and the tacos - both so good!!!! Our bartender seemed angry, the whole time we were there, like he hated his job/life. I was upset that he seemed like we were an inconvenience but other than that, everything was good! read more

Came here to try the trending espresso martini tower and it did not disappoint. I loved the four different flavors of espresso which included lavender, caramel, traditional, and a spicy tequila version. I shared it with my friend and the waitress said they equal about 2.5 each. I loved the lavender one so much I got it full sized. We came here during brunch and it was open and breezy even though it was hot out. Our waitress was very attentive and kind. For brunch I got the french toast sticks with their stuffed strawberry filling and it was very good. read more

Too expensive. $100 for two glasses of wine 6oz of steak and a handful of asparagus is a bit much. I could have gone to the bar at Berns for that. You will price out the renters that live around you. read more

I brought my puppy with me for brunch on National Dog Day! We had a nice table on the patio area that was covered with an umbrella. They do have fans outside as well. It was still hot, but that's Florida summer. Our server was kind enough to bring me a small bowl of blueberries for my puppy to munch on. To drink, I had their new lemon amaretto cocktail. It was sweet, but not overly sweet. I thought it was delicious! For brunch, I had the lobster benedict. It was soo good! The eggs were so nice and runny. read more

It was a cute spot. They have parking to the left of the building so that was nice... The service was good wouldn't say great wouldn't say bad. It looks super cute inside they were actually pretty busy. Luckily we wanted to sit outside because that's where they could sit us without a reservation, didn't get any food just came for the espresso martini tree flight. There's a spicy one, salted caramel, traditional and a lavender one. I hated the lavender one tasted like... idk lavender I guess lol grassy planty. Overall salted caramel was my fav and the flight to try diff flavors super cute and worth the $40 read more

Stopped here on a Thursday night to experience this well reviewed restaurant! We made reservations en route via their website. It was a slow night so were seated immediately. It's the small wins! The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the Limo Saltado appetizer. The blackberry snapper cocktail was also very refreshing. I believe their menu rotates, which says something about the creativity of the chefs! The service was also great. Our server had such a positive demeanor as well. I would definitely return! read more

For date night we decided to go to Rome + Fig. We were pleasantly greeted and started looking at the menu. The Surf and Turf three course immediately stood out to us as a great deal so we went with that. Throughout the meal I couldn't help but notice that it gradually got worse. By far the best thing I ate that night was the first course, the Mushroom Roulade. The filet mignon in the Surf and Turf was bland, and I could taste the burnt bits. Although, it was cooked medium rare as we've asked the bland,l and slightly burnt taste was not pleasant. The same thing can be said about the broccoli, bland. However, the shrimp and the risotto were delicious. The service was attentive and helpful which is a big plus in my book. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, and for the most part I enjoyed my meal. I was a bit disappointed seeing the 4% surcharge for Credit cards because you would already assume that if you're paying almost $50 for a filet mignon the credit card fee would be included. Personally I'm not a fan of hidden fee. read more

Pros: Wonderful atmosphere. They have a really nice patio and the inside is beautiful. We made reservations but they also take walk-ins. We came here for a brunch date and the food was good. We enjoyed our French toast sticks and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The restaurant is located in a nice neighborhood. Cons: It was a struggle to find parking. There are only a few spots behind the building dedicated to the restaurant. You will have to find street parking. read more

Came here for Sunday brunch and had the Lobster Benedict. I thought it was very good, but the eggs were a little more poached than I care for...I like the yolk to be a little runny, and they were mostly solid. It was also missing something...maybe little more plate? While attempting to slice into my burnt English muffin, a decent sized chunk of lobster slid right off my plate and onto the table, which was disappointing because there were only two decent chunks and few smaller pieces. Very small plate. I would also recommend ordering a side of potatoes or grits...the side greens didn't cut it, I was hungry again by the time I got home. Service was good and the ambiance was nice, I'd come here again because the food I saw being delivered at the tables looked really good, and the dinner menu looks interesting. Parking is scarce, there are spaces behind the small shopping center it's located in, but they are incredibly tiny spaces. read more

Rome + Fig - Lobster Benedict - Seafood Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I visited Rome + Fig on a week night for a double date. We did not have a reservation but were seated immediately. The restaurant was not busy at all. I ordered the risotto with scallops. I think I missed that it was $20 for 2 scallops which I think is a bit ridiculous. Come on, how much are food costs that you can't provide 3 scallops which seems like a bit of a normal portion. So my risotto which is just rice was $22 and my 2 scallops were $20. $42 for a risotto dish seems a bit absurd. When the check came, they added a credit card processing fee of 4% prior to asking if we were paying cash. They menu dues state that the prices are in cash Anyway, I just think this place is way too over priced. I know things are changing quickly in the restaurant industry but this seems a bit much. I almost gave the restaurant 2 stars but decided on 3. The food was good but the value was terrible. read more

I have been wanting to try Rome + Fig for a while and I finally had the chance when I and a group of friends made a reservation for 1:30 Brunch on Saturday. Now the restaurant is technically closed from 2 to 4 pm but they allow reservations at 1:30 and allow guests to continue their meals during this window of time. We had a wonderful server, Abbie, who made us feel welcome and took our orders quickly. The aesthetic of the restaurant is very chic and clean. Rome + Fig definitely has the look down. Now for the Brunch menu, it was a one page menu which I did not mind at all. I think there were still a decent amount of options. I ordered the Truffle Fries and the Lobster Benedict. I really enjoyed the Truffle Fries. The green garlicky sauce that came with the fries was DELICIOUS. Now for my main dish, the Lobster Benedict, I was a little underwhelmed. The dish was good but I wasn't amazed. I've had plenty of Benedict dishes before, and I've had better. In terms of portions, I will say you likely won't be satisfied with the Lobster Benedict alone because it is such a light dish. Nonetheless, my friends and I were enjoying our experience at Rome + Fig up until we heard an employee (Anthony) tell our waiter that we should leave the restaurant. He was at the registers right by our table as he told our waitress. I could see from his face that he was visibly annoyed and I don't understand why. We made a reservation through OpenTable for 1:30. The Hostess reassured us that they accept reservations up to 1:30 and that customers are allowed to comfortably finish their meals even though the restaurant is temporarily "closed" between 2 to 4 pm. I am not sure if Anthony was having a bad day, but his comment was inappropriate and should not have been made... especially within earshot of my table. Overall, I would rate my experience 3 stars. Abbie and the host were incredibly welcoming and the food and ambiance were good. read more

Came on Friday night and was positively surprised. It is located in the residential area surrounded by Appartment complexes. Area is relatively quiet. They have lots of outdoor and indoor seating. We enjoyed indoor, since it has a very modern look. Everything looked brand new. Menu is on a smaller size but that's what I prefer usually. We got fall salad that was pretty good. Definitely enjoyed it. Vegan meatballs were delicious and a pretty decent size portion. Fried oysters- unique and enjoyable. For the main I had risotto and my husband had jerk salmon pasta. Both dishes were outstanding. Service was attentive and pleasant. We also got mock tails which were pretty well made. Definitely recommend! read more

Been coming here since they opened. Definite decline. Expect much better for the cost of food App's took 30 mins to get (tuna tartare was excellent. Fried green tomatoes average) Drinks took a long time to get despite restaurant being slow Now on to the food. Risotto was good, scallops for $21 for 2 very rubbery and overcooked. 2 Asian noodles dishes with overcooked proteins (salmon and shrimp) and almost raw noodles Deserts including the espresso martini brownie and crème Brulle were good Server was overwhelmed as she was covering the whole restaurant as well as being flirty with the regulars the common table Owner/manager was not helping thr server and was intermittently running food. They did comp the awful meals but he made no effort to apologize or stop by our table Again was more focused on his "boys" at the communal table. As an OG "member" had high expectations but was left with disappointment all around and not the birthday celebration we expected. Many items were out of stock and menus were not updated. Not sure that we would ever return to this establishment as their are serveral better choices within walking distance Loved this place when it opened, loved the owners but now the owner seems more focused on socializing Unfortunately will be our last trip to this place I wish the good luck but in the words of Gordon Ramsey what in the f are you doing? read more

Nice restaurant for a date night. I was here for a late dinner. I had reservations for 10:30PM on a Saturday, but when we arrived, the place was nearly empty. I had booked for the surf and turf, but when I arrived, they offered the regular menu, and as I don't love filet mignon, we opted for the regular menu, which was still small, but gave us more options. We shared the fried green tomatoes caprese to start. The tomatoes were nicely fried, and it was a nice starting dish. For our mains, my husband got the scallops, and I got the short ribs .The scallops were 4 huge diver scallops, and they were nicely seared. I thought they smelled fishy, but my husband seemed to enjoy them. The short ribs were fine. I liked the tempura mushrooms, but otherwise, the dish was good but not innovative. For dessert, we shared the cheesecake, and my husband got a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. The dessert was fine. The wine list was fine, but the red wines were too young for us. My husband ordered a mojito, and he thought it was pretty sub-standard. I had a nice glass of rose, and then I had an espresso martini with dessert. The espresso martini was excellent. The setting was lovely, and our server was absolutely fantastic. read more

Super cute brunch spot for a girls day, a date or even family- and definitely if the weather is nice, sit outside!! Aesthetic of this place was so cute (this was a birthday brunch my friends put together). Our server was lovely and kept checking on us to see if we needed any refills and was knowledgeable about the menu! I didn't see a mocktail on the menu but there was no hesitation on asking the bartender to create one! Also- she said if I didn't like it she could redo it or get me something else which was really appreciated! Food was delicious and I can't to go back to try lunch!! read more

Love this place but very inconsistent hours. Showed up at 9pm on a Sunday and they were closed yet their hours online say 11 PM. Not the first time this has happened. read more

Great place to dine with friends and family. I chose this place because the menu looked pretty diverse, and they offered a happy hour menu on a Saturday night. The restaurant has nothing to do with Rome or the Fig fruit. It is the cross streets for the restaurant, but I'm sure they could do something great with figs and Rome. The location was ideal for where I was staying near downtown Tampa and eventhough taking a ride share is the best option, they do have a few parking spaces in a private lot and there is some street parking. I made a reservation for an inside table, but there is a great casual seating area outside with lots of umbrella covered tables. We did have a slight issue with the hostess upon entering, but after talking with the owner, Christine, she made everything perfect. Thanks to her, I will be spreading the word on how great this place is. We started with the Vodka Cucumber Gimlet. Smooth and more sour than sweet and so delicious that I drank 2 of them. From the Happy Hour menu, we had to try the Asian Wings, Fried Green Tomato Caprese, and Tuna Tartare. They are a smaller portion than the regular menu, which was perfect for trying a few and still having room for a meal. The 4 wings were cooked perfectly, and the sweet, sticky, finger licking good sauce was just wonderful. The crispy wontons with the tuna tartare had little bits of chopped apple that was creative and gave just the right amount of sweet crunch and mixed well with the other ingredients. The fried green tomato slices were not greasy at all, and the creamy mozzarella cheese slices in-between with a light balsamic drizzle was similar to other restaurants but this dish was just so fresh that we were scraping the plate clean. In case you might be vegan, they do have a few items to satisfy those desires, too. For our main courses, we ordered the Kale Caesar Salad and added shrimp, which were quite large and super tender. The kale was very fresh, and the dressing was not super lemony, but I really liked the flavor. The Crispy Pork Belly was such a pretty, artistic display of meat and flowers. All edible! The Jerk Salmon with a creamy sofrito sauce was a nice blend of spices cooled by a light cream sauce on small pasta noodles. It's definitely a filling portion. We don't usually order a dessert, but thankfully, we ordered the Biscuits with lemon cream and fresh berries. Oh my, that was light, and the berries were delicious. Our server Abbie was simply the best. She is a fantastic server with great knowledge of the menu. I highly recommend asking for her and taking any tips that she has to offer. We had a wonderful evening and can't wait to come back again with more friends to experience another great meal. read more

I have eaten here a couple times and it was delicious. This time around we just went to have a drink at the bar but the bar was full so we were sat at a large community high top table in the bar area which was perfect. The bartenders served our drinks. They have some nice craft cocktails but we went with the traditional wine and beer. I was seeing dishes coming out of the kitchen and they looked so good. It almost made me hungry again. Great large dining room and bar area and an outdoor patio. Friendly service. read more

Today, for brunch, we went to Rome + fig. I had made the RSVP for 2, and then my older daughter decided to come with us. I was pleased that they accommodated us without issue. Our server Yidania attended us as soon as we sat, and she was very nice. I was pleased that they were able to make my younger daughter a mocktail version of For You Karen. I had the Grand Empress 75, and my older daughter had the regular For You Karen. All our drinks were great. For appetizer, we had chips and guac and the Truffle fries. The guac was bland, and the fries were excellent. We were not impressed by the other selections. I ordered a side of scrambled eggs and was so confused by the presentation. Why place them on the corner of such a big plate? I love the overall atmosphere of the place. After eating, we went outside and we took lots of pictures I should have paid more attention to the charge, as I don't know why they charged me for NA beverage total and the CC sruchahe 4%. Once I figure that extra charge, I will probabl6 come back to try their dinner, and hopefully, they will surprise me with excellent food. read more

The atmosphere is nice, it is extremely hot and we sat inside. We were sweating the whole time. The service was ok, the food took FOREVER to come and the server seemed very busy with other tables. It took them 10 minutes to come and pick up our checks. The food overall was a 6/10 nothing out of the ordinary, actually kind of flavorless and my bacon was burnt. The drinks were amazing though and we did get a good buzz. Overall it was a 7/10 experience, would I come here again? Yes but only for the drinks, because paying 22$ for a BLT with fries and burnt bacon is outrageous. read more

We went for appetizers and they were delish! I've eaten fried green tomatoes at various restaurants and these were my favorite by far! The Mediterranean hummus plate was so tasty. I loved the roasted red pepper hummus mixed with the feta and crispy capers. I would've preferred regular pita bread instead of fried but my friend loved the fried pita. Maybe serve both? Our waitress was attentive and positive. It's a pretty restaurant. My favorite part was all the local art work for sale which decorated the walls. read more

This was my first time trying this place out and it was a great experience. First, this up and coming area is so cute and offers a lot of new places to try out. Rome+Fig has definitely made its mark. A well designed inside and outside area with a really cool designed bar. Our waitress was thorough, friendly, and went over the menu for us. I started with Chips and Fresh Guac, a tropical Aperol spritz, and ordered the new braised short rib sandwich. Highly recommend. Prices were very accommodating for the area. read more

First and foremost, Rome + Fig is a beautiful restaurant with a well crafted menu in a convenient location in North Hyde Park. The service was typical, nothing special but not bad at all. On to my dinner: * French Onion Soup (vidalia, leeks, shallots, housemade beef stock, brioche crouton, cheddar, provolone, swiss) -$12. The flavor on this was incredible and probably the best French onion soup I've had. I was disappointed in the lack of cheese on top though to make a picturesque cheese pull and use the included scissors. 4.5/5 * Hasselback Poutine (idaho potato, braised short rib, osso buco gravy, three cheese mornay, scallions) -$16. Great appetizer that was filling enough for me to eat as my entree. Presentation was a bit sloppy and could have used more meat. The potato also felt like it lacked seasoning but the cheese sauce and gravy made up for that. 4/5 * S'mores Torte (flourless chocolate torte, vanilla graham cracker crumble, toasted marshmallow meringue) -$12. I loved that this dessert came out warm and was not overbearingly sweet. Due to natural dryness of a flourless cake, it definitely could have used ice cream (perhaps a graham cracker ice cream to make it more "s'mores like") to moisten it a bit as the marshmallow meringue was not enough. 4/5 with potential to be great. Overall, I felt the dishes I ordered had missing components to complete/enhance the dish and this left Rome + Fig to be a 4/5 to me. Their Happy Hour menu looked divine with excellent prices so I'll be sure to return to try it out. read more

The food and service do not match the price point. This is a cute restaurant where I had high expectations for. We placed reservations for a bachelorette party. It started off well. We all were served our drinks. It took a while to be asked to give our orders for food. Then, our food came out except two of the entrees that were ordered. One of the missed entrees happened to be in the back still. However, the second entree wasn't even made. By the time we all finished our meals, that entree was delivered. There wasn't an apology for being missed. The server just said "it was my bad." The missed entree ended up being on the bill and we had to say something about it which did get taken off. The food was excellent but the service did not meet the expectations that the price of the menu was. Honestly, I wish we found something else than spend the money we did here. read more

As we walked up, the outdoor seating already gave a nice ambiance. When we walk through the door, we loved what we saw as well. The hostess was very welcoming and our waitress was great as well.

Our entree was the jerk salmon pasta. It was delicious and a good portion. read more

Rome + Fig - Jerk Salmon Pasta - Seafood Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Tried Our Best... Not to Complain We came Sunday April 27th at 11am. I really wanted to like this place, but the experience was frustrating from the start. I ordered an iced latte, and while they have a nice espresso machine, what I got tasted like watered-down hot coffee over ice. No one said anything when I ordered, but when the waitress brought it out, she told me not to have high expectations and that she "tried her best." Apparently, they batch make their espresso the night before, which makes no sense considering espresso goes bad quickly. I didn't drink it, nothing was offered to fix it, and I was still charged. It would make sense for them to batch espresso for martinis but not an iced latte? Our waitress was kind but clearly not well-trained or informed, which just added to the confusion. I believe her name was Abby or gabby. The food didn't help. I ordered the chorizo egg breakfast tacos--there was no chorizo in them. My friend paid extra for bacon in her Bloody Mary, and it showed up without any until she asked. We were also given the wrong beer. And being able to see into the kitchen, we saw a guy in a blue polo handling toppings with his bare hands--no gloves. On top of all that, the food is expensive for what you get. Everyone at my table agreed--this place is overpriced, the food is mid, and with all the little things that went wrong, none of us will be coming back read more

It's so exciting to see this part of West Tampa coming to life. Rome & Fig is an interesting addition to this area, and I'm curious to see if they can make it work here. The restaurant has gone with the industrial look, softened by plants, and there is seating inside and out. Parking is available in a lot behind the restaurant, or on the street. Let's start with the great: 1) Our waitress Imani (I'm sure I've butchered the spelling) was outstanding. Knowledgeable, friendly, efficient - she was everything you could want in a server. 2) The fried green tomato caprese, with fried green tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, baby heirloom tomatoes, Marcona almonds, pesto, truffle oil, and balsamic drizzle. Perfectly cooked tomatoes, fresh cheese, plenty of pesto, which included whole pine nuts too, and just the hint of truffle. I loved it. 3) The restaurant had a wonderful atmosphere, with very comfortable seating. The good: 1) The Mediterranean Plate was fine, and according to the menu it consisted of hummus, whipped goat's cheese, pita, tabbouleh, peppers, carrots, cucumber, and pine nuts. Looking at the picture I took of my platter, the one I received was slightly different, but still decent. 2) The dessert of Caramel Apple Empanadas was also good, and consisted of spiced apples, salted caramel, vanilla ice cream, and cinnamon sugar. The bad: 1) The bar: I walked in at 5:00 pm, with one couple eating in a corner at the bar, and the rest of the bar counter was entirely dirty. 2) The bartender: came over, no greeting, and proceeded to place menus on the dirty counter. He did clean it when requested, though. Then he had to be asked for the happy hour menu. 3) I ordered a margarita off the happy hour menu, and it was honestly one of the worst ones I have ever had. I don't expect it to be the best for $8, but I still hope for drinkable. 4) At the table I ordered one of their specialty drinks, a chai old fashioned. Specialty cocktails are $15 so I was looking forward to something outstanding. Nope, it was just like drinking a poor, basic old fashioned, with maybe a hint of chai, if I was being optimistic. With entrée prices hovering around $40 each, and marginal cocktails at $15, I have mixed emotions about my visit, with the end result being I'm in no hurry to go back. read more

I went in on a Sunday for brunch by myself and sat at the bar. I was acknowledged but it took a while for me to get a drink order put in. I order a basic breakfast with eggs, toast, potatoes, and I added steak tips. When I ordered, I wasn't prompted for a temperature for my steak. When my breakfast arrived, the steak was rare. I don't eat my steak that way so it was tasty but I didn't eat all of it because it wasn't cooked to order. Also, my toast that was supposed to come with my breakfast, didn't come out until after I had already finished my food. I live in Orlando and i love coming to Tampa for these cute restaurants but I probably won't ever be back here. read more

Went for Sunday brunch. Ordered the espresso martini sampler with chips and guacamole. The Martinis were good and never received the appetizer told the waitress to cancel it.

The drinks were good, French dip was decent the eggs on the Benedict were over cooked, waitress brought another order one egg was still over poached. Hollandaise was bland.
