We booked the June afternoon tea for my birthday and the overall experience was "ok". I have seen…read moreother reviews where people get special extras for celebrating their birthdays/anniversaries and other reviews where they weren't acknowledged - mine was in the unacknowledged category. It was noted on the reservation, so my opinion is Craft Tampa should be consistent in this: either acknowledge all special occasions, or don't, but not to pick and choose. I have been to many afternoon teas and this fell short in the way the tea service and trays were delivered. The tea was not brewed, nor did you get your own pot, but received your own tea bag of choice with a teapot of hot water to share. This is in itself not terrible, but the hot water was not kept warm with a warmer nor were we offered a fresh pot. The tray did not have an even amount of sandwiches/scones to share which I have never encountered. I did speak to the manager about it and we were offered more sandwiches, and that they would work on this for future events - kudos to them for that. The inside dining area was crazy loud and not at all a relaxing vibe for tea - but that's not the fault of Craft Tampa. Just something to consider if you are wondering in which area to dine. Overall, the actual cruise, views, and service made this "ok", but I would not recommend this to anyone who loves going to afternoon tea.

I absolutely love the drinks here as they are playful and unique. The wife and I shared the Garden pizza. It's a veggie pizza with a pesto base. It was fantastic! The pesto was just right. Not over powering at all and still taste the flavors of the other veggies. Highly recommend. My favor drink here is the manhattan but it's a play on manhattan with peanut butter screw ball whiskey and a pbandj sandwich. Very smooths and relaxing. Service here has always been great. Staff is very nice and always accommodating! Parking can be a hit or miss but they do have a parking garage under the buildings. It does cost if you don't get your ticket validated.

We popped into Battery in Channelside for happy hour, and the vibes were definitely on point. The…read morespace has that polished-yet-cozy energy that makes it easy to settle in whether you're here for a quick drink or making a night of it. 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.

We were a group of 10 and our server was excellent! The whole staff really! We sat outside and enjoyed our food+ mimosas. There was a tv out there so i know if i ever go with my husband he can watch his games (gooooo sports) while i indulge in my mimosas. I'd been studying the menu ever since my friend told me we were going. I ended up going with the avocado tartine and added smoked salmon. It was delicious and went well with a day of heavy drinking!! We also ordered the grazing board for the table which was amazing. I loved the assortment of cheeses and snacks. The butter on the board was bussinnnnn! I was in heaven!! I should mention the bottomless mimosas were $25 and the bottles literally just keep coming! Safe to say we were all feeling nice and toasty by the time we left. We hung out for a while without even getting kicked out I'd love to visit again and try more menu items. The server mentioned the cubano is the best Cuban you'll have. Now I'm always a bit skeptical bc everyone says that lol but the cubano came out looking gooooodT! I didn't try it but my friend who ordered it loved it! Parking was easy and right outside. We parked and checked in pretty quickly with ease. Thanks for the awesome service and experience! I definitely recommend adding district south kitchen & craft to your list of boozy brunch spots!

Hmmmm Peaks and…read morevalleys. Thats the best way I can describe how this meal felt. Appetizers were strong. Focaccia bread with some sorta meat baked on top and grouper breaded in coconut, heck yeahhhh. Both great, fun choices that were great. Down to the meal itself. I had prime rib sammich and then my friend got the grits with braised pork. Super excited for it and it was good. But I wouldn't go past good? I'm not sure. It was one of those ones where I for sure ate it all, I did like it but I was not wow'd. With the apps, they were outfitted with great sauce choices. Look at those plates. Two different sauces per plate. So in my mind, that means they most likely make their own ranch, honey mustard, etc. how exciting?! I ordered a ranch for my friend and I, hoping that it would be homemade and blow my doors off. Ranch came, paired great with the fires but then they charged me $2.75?! Yooo, did me dirty, I can't lie. All in all, I liked it here. I just don't know if I'll hurry back. Also, for two apps, 3 entries, was kinda expansive. Idk maybe I'm just complaining. We are in Tampa, I just didn't feel great looking at the bill.

We sampled the local Reef Donkey brew, which definitely lived up to the hype--smooth, flavorful, and well balanced. A great choice if you're new to their beer lineup. We started with the hot pretzel served with queso and mustard. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly salted--ideal for sharing and easily one of the highlights of the visit. The pizza was generously topped and very cheesy, which we appreciated, though the quality of the sausage could use some improvement to better match the rest of the ingredients. We also tried the hot chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the portion size felt closer to boneless wings than tenders. The fries were hot and crispy, but overall the chicken itself could benefit from a crispier exterior. Worth noting for future guests: the Red Eye cider buffalo sauce comes with a $1 upcharge. Overall, this is a fun spot with a strong beer program and solid starters. Hoping to return in about six months to see improvements and refinements to the food offerings, as the potential here is definitely there.

We ate there twice while in town and overall the food was really good. The burger was delicious, and everyone in my group enjoyed what they ordered. The biggest issue was staffing. The hotel knew there was a large conference happening at the convention center, yet during lunch there was only one server trying to cover both the bar and the restaurant. He was doing his best, but it was clearly too much for one person. The second day there was also a helper clearing plates, but there was a language barrier and it was difficult to communicate simple things like drink refills or asking for the check.
