Terrible, so bad and terrible that it's not even worth describing how bad and terrible it is... don't believe me, try it!

First of all, the views are absolutely incredible! I loved the ambience and vibe that was created. I was a little disappointed by the lunch menu, was hoping for a bit more variety. That's fine and dandy as that's owner's choice. I ordered the chicken sandwich and wasn't giving as much flavor as I hoped for. I would have to come back and try more things for a stronger review and maybe even dinner. The drinks were delicious, they had a nice variety and looked the part. This place can be a little confusing to get to, but all of the workers near by were super friendly in assisting. The restaurant did offer valet parking which was wonderful, especially since I had my heels on. The restaurant did validate it and I only paid $10.50. All in all, I would give this beautiful place one more shot. read more

Outdoor rooftop at the new JW Marriott on Water street. Really cool vibes. Walk up bar and first come first served seating. Everyone was socially distanced. Would go back for a drink. read more

As far as rooftop lounges go, this is one of the better ones in the Tampa Bay area. Located on the 6th floor of the JW Marriott on Water Street (not to be confused with the Marriott Waterside that is across the street!), it's a wonderful place to catch the sunset and have a cocktail. If you're parking at the hotel, valet will run you about $21 and no, there is no validation at the restaurant/bar. The rooftop is split into two sections. There is a covered terrace facing the Convention Center and the opposite side is more outdoorsy and lounge-like area with turf, cabanas, wicker swinging chairs, and outdoor lighting/pool that faces Amelia Arena. The staff is a bit slow, but friendly and the menu items may be a bit over-priced, but hey you're in downtown so it's expected, right? read more

I've been looking forward to the JW Marriott opening since they started construction. Last night we went into the six lounges, had dinner, and enjoyed some drinks on the rooftop deck afterward. The food was anything but disappointing. It was delicious!! The prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was electric. Everyone was acting responsibly by social distancing and wore a mask. I felt safe, and I can't wait to go back. Daily Valet parking is $20.00, but if you dine in, you can get your ticket validated, and it only cost you $10.00. read more

Had a hard time finding a way to make reservations so we just winged it and showed up hoping for the best. We came on a Friday night at 9pm for dinner for 2. We were able to get a table right away. You walk past a PACKED bar full of people standing around (no COVID distancing or mandatory seating.) Upon being sat in the dining area we were confused by people just standing around their tables In there as well. It was very hard to have a conversation with the level of commotion going on and people yelling about shots in the background. Service was friendly and food and drinks were delicious! The rooftop views were very pretty and they have a huge area with chairs near the pool. read more

More like 3.5 but closer to 4, than 3, so I don't want to cheat them. A group of us came here for a nice holiday dinner recently. The food is good. I had the lamp chops with potatoes, very well seasoned and the potatoes were the right texture. Our service left a bit to be desired tho, I'm not sure if our waiter was also the bartender but he went missing for large periods of time. But overall they were accommodating and didn't kick us out after closing ( please note the website says 11PM closing and they told us it's 10 or 10:30PM.) That definitely should be corrected. Despite the time confusion, they let us stay and take pictures on the patio with the city skyline in the background. The prices are a bit high, more because it's a hotel restaurant than because the atmosphere calls for it. Inside gives me casual but the prices give me higher end. Cute place overall. read more

Ok, planned a dinner here before the Eagles concert. Got there and no one was available to seat us for quite a long time. Then when we went in, we were sat at a table in the middle of a horribly loud room. There is no atmosphere to this place. The service was terrible as no one came to even give us a water. We waited for about 15 minutes and when we realized we didn't have enough time, we left. I would stay as far away from this restaurant as possible! read more

Food and service and ambiance are outstanding! Their menu is exotic and tasty. Morgan brought me a birthday desert with a candle and sang to me. She made a sad and lonely birthday turn bright! She brought me a delicious wine to taste. I'm so glad I had lunch there on my birthday! read more

We weren't able to use the restrooms on the 6th floor so we were directed to the 4th floor. The security personnel on 4th told us we can't use the restrooms there but to go to the 3rd floor near the UPS. The lack of help and coordination in that building was odd. Very, very odd. Service was slow (20min to get drinks at our table) when only 3 tables occupied at the outdoor dining. The check came as soon as food and drinks were served (about an hour since we were seated), which would be perfectly fine if we weren't done ordering, however. read more

Loved our experience here. Food was incredible (new menu too!). Our server Sal had excellent recommendations for food and drinks. read more

Excellent food and drinks, great date with my wife in a nice rooftop in the middle of Downtown Tampa.

5 stars just for the server Ashley from NorCal!! She is down to earth, outgoing, honest and knows the menu very well. She accommodated my 1 yr old daughter by having the chef create a "special pasta" for her and she loved it! Ashley also helped me figure out a cocktail I would like and it was damn good! I ordered the Rose Glasses. Shrimp and grits were good! The deviled crab cakes were phenomenal! We would definitely come back to Six just because Ashley works there. Kudos to her and her amazing customer service!! read more

Laughable... went to get a table after being told and sold by the front desk staff that this is the place I should dine. I was also told no reservations needed... but when I arrived, I was told there is a 45 minute wait or I can just sit at the bar. I declined and decided to go back to the room to go research to see the other options close by thur Open Table. Well, low and behold... Six comes up as choice for immediate seating. Really?!? So, I take it. Just so I could go confront the host that had just turned me away as Marriott guest. I did confront him and I then, turned them down. So ridiculous the games these places play. A 3 star restaurant should be grateful for the business. read more

This place has a really nice atmosphere and the employees are super nice. The menu was really weak, there were not many choices at all. If your hungry I wouldn't really recommend this place drinks were OK. It's really just the view. We did have the snapper ceviche the kids organic chicken breast and the Brussel sprouts. It was probably the best kids meal I've ever seen in my life. The snapper ceviche was decent. We did pay seven dollars for like five pieces of bread which seemed outrageous. I would come back if someone took me here and paid for my drinks lol read more

The view was nice but the food was not. We had the chicken meatballs and the ceviche. If I wasn't starving I wouldn't have been able to finish it. The meatballs were dry and boring and the ceviche was just not hitting the spot. It's a good place to see the city and the river though. read more

On a Tuesday evening 8/1/2023. I had the Ribeye Steak. It was mouth watering and had great flavor to it. Gary Cloyd Tampa

If this was a new restaurant I would not be writing this - unfortunately this is a JW Marriott so they don't get a pass from me. How do I even start this? Well we looked at the menu online so being a Downtown Tampa resident why not give it a try. The wine list is great and why this place gets two stars- the Burgundy was a nice pour and Pessimist is a fantastic wine. From there it's not great- we had the Rose glasses cocktail - it was good and the BDX sour- their version of a NY sour- it was all sour. The biggest issue with this place is their host stand and the lack of understanding how their table service goes- we arrived at 5:40 hoping to catch the sunset on the outside dining area- we were told it would be maybe 30mins. It was well over an hour and it kinda seems like they forgot about us- we happened to have friends at the very basic and sort of laid out poorly inside bar. So we enjoyed seeing friends but realized that we missed sunset and they kept seating people while we hung at the bar. Finally we got tired of waiting so we ate inside the completely empty inside dining area. Our server was fine - she was doing her best with us already kinda grumpy. We started with the clam chowder- very good- great flavor and lots of clams! The shrimp ceviche was tasty but sorta just a bunch of shrimp not what I would typically call ceviche still tasty. For main courses we had the cauliflower steak- that was under cooked and the Brussels under seasoned. We also tried the grouper- the fish was not great- the peas tasted canned and the Gnocchi tasted frozen. For this being a JW Marriott I think they should have done so much better- the dining room looks like a Village Inn and yes the deck is nice but clearly they don't know what they are doing yet. Well I don't plan to return for anything but drinks- I suggest you do the same read more

Ordered chicken meatballs and French fries. Disappointing mostly because there was no flavor. We looked forward to the mustard sauce and seasoning that was supposed to accompany the fries but they were bland with nothing on them and plain ketchup. Sorry guys but this restaurant was not to the level of a JW Marriott. read more

Horrible food and slow service. My sister and I went there for lunch, we chose to sit at a high table by the bar since the dining room was empty. I have ordered a burger, it took nearly 40 min to get our food. The wait was ridiculously long for a burger and an appetizer plus the stools were so uncomfortable. The burger was medium rare instead of medium well, the bottom bun was soggy and drenched in oil. Let's not forget about the horrendous cheese which I had to scrape. I hate to write a negative review but charging $19 for a tasteless burger is outrageous. read more

Beautiful views overlooking the port, the arena and convention center all along Water street! Above all was just the incredible service and food was fantastic! Having said that, it is the first few weeks of their opening, but as of now they are completely upholding and exceeding the JW standard. It is a pinch me moment as a Tampa gal who is obsessed with this global brand, they are here and it's real! It's only the beginning. Good job Marriott and Six! read more

Very good service! Went on Valentine's Day they even gave every girl a rose ! Also the food was amazing!

Wouldn't recommend this place to absolutely anyone. Came here on a Saturday night and it wasn't even busy and they service sucked. I was seated at the bar and it took 15+ minutes to order.. not to mention I had to walk up to the bar and wait they wouldn't even come to my table. No menus after I asked 3 times. Then I ordered food (which I had to google the menu for) and they didn't even bring silverware. I politely went up to the host stand and asked for silverware and let her know that nobody had given me any and the bar was extremely packed I didn't want to stand there and wait. She told me "uh you just walk up to the bar and ask" I couldn't believe my ears.. are u serious.. what hospitality they have here! Got to love it. Get your stuff together JW! (Not to mention I've been a JW bonvoy card holder for 10+ years) & I have never been treated this way. read more

New restaurants will have growing pains but not sure this one is salvageable. The view and location are great, there's no doubt about it. The rooftop location, outdoor seating area and close proximity to the pool will undoubtedly make this place successful. The service was terrible despite having a mostly empty restaurant on a Friday night. We frequently had a search for our waiter to take our order, clear the table, refill water, etc. The food was mediocre at best, I had to send my entrée back due to it being ice cold, overly salty, seafood was fishy and not fresh whatsoever. Big disappointment, will not go back. read more

Pros: pretty view and a good server. The restaurant itself feels more like a courtyard Marriott than a JW but with JW prices. The menu is limited and way overpriced for the actual food. The "ceviche" was just whole shrimp in a sauce lol. Despite an empty restaurant (I understand why now), it was very troublesome to seat our group apparently. Two separate tables when the entire place was empty- which should've been our first red flag. The ambience is weird. Very bright and cafeteria like. The food was okay but certainly not good enough for the price point. Overall, would avoid. Spend your money on better food and a better dining experience. A shame because the location is amazing and could be a great place read more

So I had ate at this restaurant six with my wife at night dining indoors. Can I just say the food is completely boring. It's lacking something I don't know what it is but it wasn't that great. Along with that the service I had was awful my server was a female name Julia, can I just say what mediocre service that was. Very disappointed with the over all service. She wasn't very attentive and she had an attitude with me because I was "being difficult" I don't know if it was her first time serving ever but it looked like it the way she was handling me and my wife. I hope this restaurant has a great come back because I believe they can it has so much potential! read more

Terrible customer service, small portions of food... spent $120 to get better service at McDonald's an hour later.

Excellent new addition to downtown. The view of the sunset was perfect! I had the grouper and it was cooked to perfection. I can not wait to go back! read more

Pretty average . Not too many options near the Marriott. The rib eye was good but it was cut in half , not sure if the chef knew how to cook the steak correctly.. they say thats how they present their steaks . The clam chowder was pretty salty also read more

The potential for SIX palpable but the execution is lacking from top to bottom. For the price points you expect solid service and a somewhat upscale dining experience but in reality SIX is an overpriced poolside restaurant. For context, we were a table of 5 with the dining room at ~25% capacity. It took a solid hour+ from putting in orders for drinks and apps to actually receiving them (both) which was the first red flag. Then when they did arrive everything was incredibly underwhelming. The shrimp ceviche is clearly previously frozen, potentially previously cooked shrimp in some sauce. The chicken meatball was pretty good and the same goes for the crudo. The drinks were outrageously priced given the quality and actual quantity in each glass. Not relevant to the review but the waiter provided a kids menu along with regular menus for what was clearly a business dinner. Given that we were over 1.5 hours in, at this point we decided to audible somewhere else for dinner. When you sit down and look around you can't help but feel like you are in a fancy cafeteria from the tables, to the lighting in the room, to people walking through in bathing suits w/ towels. Hoping they are working through some of the kinks that come with opening a new restaurant but had high hopes given the reputation of JW's. For the price point there are numerous better options around Tampa. read more

Six - Great sunset views. Delicious food. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Bland food and very unfriendly staff! After coming for a birthday, our plans were turned upside down. Couldn't even park in the building, walked miles to get there. When we finally do from the drinks to our food it was wrong. Our waitress was very unfriendly wouldn't even take a picture with my family. Was rude and said she had other tables to tend to. We then got served the wrong food which was sitting on our table for quite a while until they realized it. She then came and picked it up from our table and pretended to walk in the back to but my entire family saw they just made a circle to not make it obvious and put the food on the table in front of us! Sickening and gross especially in times of COVID. Please hire new staff, work on better tasting food and be more accommodating of guest who have reservations to at least be able to park in the building. read more

Absolutely amazing location, staff, and my server Jesse was extraordinary! Food was cooked and seasoned to perfect, drinks were delicious! My new favorite spot to have a drink or a meal! Love it read more

The views are amazing. It's a shame the service is HORRIFIC. We had Jesse as our server for a 21st birthday dinner. There were 6 of us and we had a reservation at 7:30. We sat outside with maybe two or three other tables passing the completely empty inside part of the restaurant. It took an hour to get the 4 cocktails we ordered. Jesse only checked on our table twice from 7:30-8:30. We asked about our drinks and another sever said she didn't know what happened but would check for us. One of the drinks was a vodka water... it doesn't take an hour to make a vodka water. He finally took our order at 8:45 and we got our food around 9:15. We were there almost 2 hours before we got our food. Jesse failed to keep our waters full and spent the majority of his time at the table next to us with 3 women. They had say down after us, got their drinks and food before we even got the chance to order. This is not a cheap place to eat. The food was pretty decent but when you wait for two hours you just want to scarf down your meal. For parties of 6 or more an automatic 20% tip is included. Jesse knew this and did not pay any attention to our table. Servers at this restaurant should be talked to by management to ensure they do not write off any party of 6 because they will automatically get tipped. This was the worst service I have ever received, a shame too at such a nice restaurant. So if you decide to go, sit at the bar, or don't go with a party of 6, or just don't have Jesse as your server. read more

This restaurant is low scale. Think of it more like an IHOP. Service is not good (maybe because it's new) but the atmosphere is not good as well. Think cafeteria. Not well designed and not staffed properly. Aspiring to be Tampa's first 4/5 star hotel, they need to take lessons from Ritz Carlton/ Four Seasons. I had high hopes, but do not recommend. read more

Absolutely horrible service and extremely rude wait staff. They didn't have enough help poolside so went up to window to order and the staff couldn't be bothered. The server even took a food order from someone who came after me first as I was standing right in front of her. read more
