We ordered several items so we could try a little bit of everything. The food came out fast, which we really appreciated. Service was great overall, and the general manager was walking around checking on tables...very friendly and helpful, which always makes a difference. The standout for me was the steak! Super flavorful, cooked perfectly, and topped with crunchy chips that added a nice texture. The bravas were another favorite, especially when paired with the steak. The chicken thighs were juicy and well seasoned, and the olive oil cake is a must-order. The cake was topped with sea salt which created the perfect contrast and balance for the sweetness. The only dish I didn't love was the salmon. It tasted like it had been sitting and wasn't as fresh as I expected, with a slightly fishy flavor. Everything else we tried was really good.

While the meat portions were sufficient we were provided exactly 9 pieces of cheese. I was absolutely shocked at how little cheese we got for the price of this board. I immediately called the restaurant before addressing with Uber or before taking my review to Yelp because I wanted to give them the opportunity to address my concerns: I was told that a temporary manager was at the restaurant and that he would take my information and have the store manager contact me the next day. No one called. We order charcuterie a lot. And while I will say the cheeses on this board were unique and delicious; if these were the actual portions-it is incredibly overpriced. And if these weren't the actual portions-then it's incredibly disappointing that they dismissed our concerns entirely.

We came in for happy hour as usual and confirmed the pricing with our server before ordering. He told us everything was valid (aside from pizza), so we ordered accordingly. When the bill came, the pricing didn't match. The manager then told us happy hour hasn't existed past 7PM for six months--which makes no sense given our consistent visits--and even their Instagram still advertises it until 8PM. Instead of resolving the confusion, she responded with attitude and claimed she had been "taking care of us" previously, which was never communicated. Disappointing experience overall. Not because of the bill, but the lack of accountability and poor hospitality. We won't be back.

We aren't big wine drinks - but they are known for their gluten free options. We ordered our entrees and about 20 minutes into it the manager Eric came and introduced himself. He apologized for the delay in our food arriving - we hadn't even noticed - and shared it was being plated as we spoke. Two minutes later he delivered it to our table. The second round of drinks too too long and he again delivered the drinks w another apology. Jim was attentive and professional. The short rib risotto was just plain amazing as were all the other items delivered. I had the risotto so I can rave about that. The experience was great and what made it great for us was the attention paid to us by the manager and the server. We never felt forgotten. We highly recommend. This isn't fast food or a place for a quick bite and run. If you have the time you must try CH Tampa

We were at Cooper's Hawk in Tampa today and were asked to leave the premises by the manager…read morebecause one of our Chihuahuas was making too much noise. We had ordered two appetizers to share , and were finishing when she came over. We were on the outside patio , our Chihuahuas were contained in their carriers, and the only time one of them barked was when the waiter came by. We were there early at 11:30. For 15 minutes we were the only ones out there , then this elderly couple came and when they walked by us the elderly woman gave us a dirty look. Five minutes later another couple sat but further away from us. That woman seemed to be the only one with a problem. I should have asked the manager that if someone had complained about a screaming child( which usually is constant) would they have been asked to leave? I really like the food , and the service but we are contemplating whether to go there again because frankly we felt insulted! We only brought the dogs to begin with because my daughter is going on a trip and she is leaving the dogs with us. So we were exchanging them, and thought we would have lunch. The manager and the elderly couple ruined the experience for us. The manager told us that pets were not permitted but I checked in two different places , and pets are permitted on their patio. I feel they should either change their policy , or inform the manager as to what the policy is because she told us that pets were not allowed! Next time we will meet somewhere in St. Petersburg because that city is very pet friendly!

After seeing so many posts about Megak Wine Bistro, I was really excited to check it out…read more Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype--especially when it came to the food. A friend and I ordered the Japanese curry and short ribs, and both were disappointing. The portions were surprisingly small, and the curry tasted like a generic TV dinner that had just been warmed up. For the price, I expected much better. We actually ended up going next door to GrillSmith afterward because we were still hungry, which says a lot. That said, the wine selection was excellent, and the staff was very knowledgeable. If you're just looking for a great place to enjoy wine, this might be worth a visit. But if you're hoping for a full dining experience, I'd say skip the food and go elsewhere.

Tampa's First Korean Wine Bistro…read more When you visit Seoul, you will find many new trending Korean wine bars. I'm excited to be the first to tell you that you can now have that sweet Seoul experience here in Tampa‼ Perfect date night spot 미각 Migak, means "taste" and I was thoroughly shook when I tried the food and wine pairings at this cozy space off of Dale Mabry. The food here is so delicious, just like my time spent in Korea. Innovative dishes like Truffle Jajangttoek, my favorite so far. Korean owned and operated, the owners also own a few of these amazing food pairing wine bars in Korea, and the chef has also lived and culinary trained in France. They have their hand on the pulse of what is popular in Korea as well as the US. We are so lucky to have this establishment! You won't find anywhere else like this in Tampa Bay. I'm definitely coming back for dessert and to try more! The Migak sommelier is here to help you choose wines that will pair perfectly with the plates that you order. Check the menu online to see that the prices are shockingly low for the quality of food provided. If you are like me and don't drink really, then you can just visit to eat their delicious food. I loved EVERY dish I tried so far. 1 트러플 짜장 떡볶이 Truffle Jajangttoekbokki paired with Red - Rich truffle flavor paired with umami black bean sauce in this popular Korean fusion rice cake dish. Paired with Malbec. 2 골수 Bone Marrow - Not many places serve this dish in Tampa! The exquisite fatty flavors are emphasized by the fresh herbs used. A must-try. 3 Chicken Skewers - The plump, glossy bites of heaven are dark meat, fatty, glazed and tender. The tangy and slightly spicy sauce matches well with the fatty meat. Paired with Reisling. 4 명태전 Pollack Joen - Fried egg washed fritters, served with a side salad. A very popular dish in Korea. Sometimes whole restaurants just serve various joen as their main menu. Paired with Gruner. 5 불구기 쌈 Bulgogi Ssam - Premade lettuce wraps with just the perfect amount of toppings and sauces, as the chef intended. Paired with white burgundy. 6 카레 Korean Curry - Some say it tastes similar to the popular Japanese curry, but this curry is definitely in it's own category of yummy. As the only Asian food specialist that has written about specifically Korean cuisine and visted Korea multiple times, can speak, read, and write in Hangul --- Migak is my favorite Korean restaurant in Tampa Bay hands down. Keep them open. Protect them at all costs.

I'll start with the good stuff. The space inside Bouzy's front dining area and bar is gorgeous. It's not large, but it has very high ceilings, which add to the sense of space, and the modern decor, especially the bubble-inspired lighting, all add up to a bright and vibrant atmosphere. I can easily imagine it looks even more polished and stylish at night. Also, our food was excellent. We got the Florentine Benedict and the Shrimp & Grits -- both were beautifully plated and delicious. Also, if you're feeling snacky before brunch, try the Marinated Olives. It's easily a snack for two -- we even ended up taking some home! I did mention a few minor hiccups at the start. The bottle of Cava Reserva we ordered was not kept chilled, so we had to wait a little for it to come out and we did worry for a moment that we wouldn't get it before our entrees arrived. Also, our server, while very friendly and sweet, was a little uneven in terms of how often she came over to check on us. At the start, she seemed a little scattered, but later on she found her groove and came over to us more often to see what we needed. As I said, minor hiccups, and certainly nothing that would discourage us from another visit the next time we cross the bay and visit Hyde Park. Definitely curious about what it might be like at night!

The sommelier we had was super knowledgeable although it took quite a while to place our first order since the bar he was tending to was full. We didn't order any food since we were heading to dinner shortly after, but I definitely intend to return for a visit with friends in the near future!
