Glad to see that the rice paper is gone. Been a while since I could return to South Tampa and go here. Thank you.

Water + Flour is one of our favorite spots for girls' night! It's always such a great vibe, and they have a variety of options no matter what you're in the mood for. We usually start with the sourdough flatbread with tomato dip, and it is always so delicious--warm, flavorful, and the perfect appetizer to share. I love changing it up and trying different pastas, but my absolute favorite is the Vodka Tomato Pasta. It's rich, creamy, and full of flavor--never disappoints. Everything is consistently amazing, and it's one of those places you can always count on for great food and a great time. Can't wait for our next girls' night here! read more

I was here for takeout and it's always exceptional. The service is great and the staff are very friendly. I prefer Water + Flour takeout. It's quick and the food is ready to go and always hot. There's a takeout section of the restaurant to the right. It makes the vibe much easier and the flow of the restaurant easy for customers. read more

It's a good thing I walked here because parking was nonexistent during Happy Hour on Friday. Even so, there was plenty of seating inside and I was seated right away. The waitresses were friendly, quick, and attentive, though I do wish I had been given better guidance on what to order. Based on the waitress's suggestion, I ordered the crispy rice with spicy ahi tuna, which she described as their signature dish. At only seven dollars during Happy Hour, it sounded like a safe choice. While I did enjoy the small amount of tuna on top, which was fresh and flavorful, I was not a fan of the rice underneath. The rice made up about ninety percent of the dish and was dense, chewy, and overly deep fried. It was not crispy in the way it was advertised and ended up feeling heavy. Although the tuna itself was great, the deep fried rice likely accounted for most of the calories and left me feeling disappointed and weighed down. For a restaurant that presents itself as a healthier option, this dish just did not align with what I was hoping for. In hindsight, I really wish I had ordered something else. I would have so preferred the sesame crusted tuna tataki, which clearly offers significantly more tuna, even though it is not on the Happy Hour menu. I honestly think I would have preferred almost anything else here, whether it be pasta, pizza, salad, or sushi. I am sure they have great options here and I would probably give them a much better rating had I ordered differently. The service and atmosphere were solid, but the miniscule amount of tuna and the heavily fried rice underneath really missed the mark for me. Next time, I will trust my instincts and order something else. read more

This was my first visit and i was very impressed! I made a reservation for Galentine's day and even though we were a big group we were very well taken care of. Our server was so patient and kind to us! I ordered the steak and eggs and it was bussinnnnnn! The steak was amazing. I loved the chimichurri on top. The eggs were so good and flavorful and the breakfast potatoes omg drooling!! I also wanted the tres leches French toast but since i went with the steak and eggs my friend let me try some of hers and first of all they were HUGE!!!! Seriously you could feed a whole family with those lol they were delicious and I'd definitely go back to get those! We ordered a bottle of bubbly that came with three juices to mix it with and the rest of the drink menu had a lot of fun and tasty drinks. I'm alreadyreadytogo back and experience this place some more! read more

Came for light bites and finger food with a friend. They have some tasty options for happy hour for the low $$$ Margaritas were a hit with my table. The sushi wasn't too bad either.

One of my go-to's for lunch, the service is always fast and very friendly :) I switch it up between the CALIFORNIA CLUB WRAP, the ALAMO WRAP, the SIMPLE or TUSCAN pizzas, with the occasional fries on the side the only item I tried randomly and wasn't too fond of was the SPICY BRAZILIAN NACHOS. Just not my thing I guess (specifically not great togo bc the chips were all soggy), I gave it away to coworkers that seemed to enjoy it. I don't typically dine in, but when picking up the food I've noticed it to be busier some days than others but pretty steady for lunch service. The vibes are always great with upbeat music and helpful staff. Will definitely be back! read more

Dined for an early Father's Day celebration with family. Love the fact they offer happy hour food and drink specials daily from 3 - 6 pm. Ordered the Thai chicken bowl on Udon noodles. This comes with carrots, pineapple, jicima, with peanut sauce. The food was delicious and the chicken breast was tender and not overcooked. Jordan was a wonderful server and attentive. read more

I've been here a few times and it's always pretty reliable. It's a great place to grab a quick meal with a fun vibe- the inside has a fun theme with colored lights and a lively atmosphere. The service was excellent and quick- our waitress checked on us a bunch and brought everything out quickly. Even though they're not a sushi restaurant, I still love their sushi and trust their quality. It always tastes fresh and I've never had an issue. The truffle fries are a must have in my opinion, and their drinks are also decent! I recommend going during happy hour for best deals. There is a parking lot outside the restaurant so even on busy days, you can usually find a spot. Will be back! read more

Water + Flour is a must on a Wednesday as the sushi and happy hour deals are too good to miss. The service at the bar was superb.

I've been here a few times and every time the food is super good. It's basically a sister to Cali so they have some of the same menu items but with a lot more options. The service was great and the waitress was super nice. The restaurant is super cute on the inside but we sat outside because it was such a nice day. I love the chairs they have outside! I got the Verdura wrap and it's amazing! I highly recommend and their garlic lime edamame is delicious. Would definitely go back. read more

This restaurant has quickly become one of my go-to spots. Their happy hour is fantastic--not only are the drinks reasonably priced, but the food is too. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with tasteful decor that makes the space feel cozy yet stylish. The menu offers a great variety, from pasta and sushi to wraps. We started with a simple margarita--delicious and perfectly balanced. The happy hour pizza was a standout: simple, satisfying, and just the right size (I happily finished it myself). We also tried the sweet and honey pepperoni pizza, which was absolutely amazing. The crispy rice with tuna was another highlight--perfectly crisp and paired wonderfully with the soy sauce. My friend had the veggie wrap and really enjoyed it, though we both agreed we'd prefer the salad dressing served on the side. Service was great--our waiter was friendly, and the food came out quickly and at just the right pace. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

My friend and I came for lunch and ate at the bar. The ambiance was nice and service was adequate. We ordered the truffle fries for an appetizer. There was a good portion of fries for two people. The fries were okay. Not the best I ever had but not the worst I ever had. I ordered the Original Poke Bowl and it was a good serving but not enough kale for me. The bowl was just okay as well. Not the best I have had but not the worst I have had. My friend ordered a roll that was usually on the dinner menu but they made it for her because they had the ingredients. That was really nice. Overall, Water and Flour was an average experience. I will try their dinner service to see how it compares. If you are looking for a neat atmosphere try Water and Flour. read more

This sushi blew my mind. First, they offer $6 sushi rolls on Wednesday. Need I say more? Second, I went out of the box and ordered their green peace roll, and I was shocked at how good it was for being a roll without any seafood in it. On top of that, the bartender was super attentive, appetizers came out insanely quick, and the atmosphere made us feel so comfortable the second we walked in. We will be back soon to do taco Tuesday! read more

Water + Flour is that restaurant with a menu that looks like it was written during a fever dream -- sushi, Mexican, pizza, and house-made pasta. Should be a disaster. Isn't. My cacio e pepe was Top 5 of all time, including Sicily. David's pizza was perfect. Vibe: great. Service: on point. Return factor: 10/10. Next time I'll try the sushi... if I can pry myself away from the pasta. read more

Came here per recommendation by a local waitress at a different restaurant. I ordered the shrimp roma pasta with rigatoni pasta. I really liked the slightly al dente pasta, and the sauce was nice and light but very flavorful. The shrimp had good size and wonderful texture. As a table, we also ordered: edamame (with garlic lime butter), sourdough flatbread, and Parmesan truffle fries. The edamame and the fries had such good butter and umami flavor -- we couldn't stop eating them! We also split the tiramisu and chocolate toffee mousse cake for dessert. The tiramisu has a very light coffee flavor, but the highlight is the soft and fluffy consistency. I liked the richness of the chocolate in the mousse, with a slight hint of toffee. The waitress was very attentive and answered all our questions with good knowledge and insight. The inside has diner-esque tables with a mixture of wooden and modern fixtures. Overall a good experience! A good recommendation read more

Sunday brunch was great at W&F! The steak and eggs were delicious, and a perfect portion. My wife ordered the crispy rice with spicy tuna and she loved it. Bartender was very attentive and nice, and the vibe of the restaurant was relaxing, but a good time for Sunday brunch. We also ordered The Heavy Pour, which is a bottle of champagne with your choice of juice. If you're around SoHo, stop by for brunch! read more

The service was wonderful. We were seated immediately upon arrival. They were able to accommodate modifications seamlessly and recommended some great options. Happy hour (food & drinks) starts at 3pm so we were able to order a couple things off that menu for half the price. The verdura wrap is vegan friendly but would recommended opting out of the cranberries as we thought there were too many. This place is great for a group with different dietary restrictions. It is also affordable and on the healthier side. read more

I've been to Water + Flour several times now and I can say - it's a great choice. For anyone staying at the Epicurean Hotel, this place is a quick walk up Howard. While Haven is well-known for their happy hour, I believe Water + Flour should be as well. The happy hour cocktail menu is wide enough to satisfy most everyone, and the bartenders work hard to keep those tasty beverages coming. We've been known to visit just for drinks before heading to Haven or Bern's. But the food at Happy Hour shouldn't be ignored! Excellent price and delicious options for sure. Speaking of the food, the non-happy hour foods are also a delight. I particularly love the Spicy Brazilian Nachos and the Crispy Rice with Spicy Tuna Ahi. One time I ordered the Diablo wrap for lunch and I couldnt even eat half of it. It was huge! And very yummy. The staff is always friendly and professional, they have great parking too. I really love going to this place and look forward to returning soon. read more

I have never been more jealous of Tampa after visiting this restaurant. Everything was absolutely amazing. I called ahead of time to see if they take reservations -- they do, just not same day. They said they'd try to make room if they could, but no promises, as it is very late notice. I called at the worst time lol, at 6 pm when we'd be there by 7. They accommodated our party of 9 promptly! The server was fantastic and we got a plethora of food and drinks. It is very rare that you see a menu with a very diverse arrangement of food, and for EVERYTHING to be amazing. Everything was great. I got the spicy salmon, Mexican bowl, and water Guacomole. But I tried some of my friends dishes and all of them tasted as good as they looked. The restaurant was packed, but the ambiance is warm and inviting. This restaurant is a must try. I have to come back here next time I'm in Tampa!! read more

The food & drinks are amazing! The bowls are addicting, the sushi is so good & I can't belive I'm saying this in the same sentence as sushi... but the pastas are very good as well. The service can be iffy and it does get busy with its prime Tampa location so I recommend a reservation! Plus, beware of a small parking lot. The overall vibe of the restaurant is moody & modern but has a lot of natural light during the day! read more

Water + Flour kickstarted my 2024 obsession with caesar salad. I've gone back twice in the last month just for their chicken caesar, which makes me laugh. For some reason when it gets hot, I want caesar, and W+F does it well!! In the last two visits, I've tried both the caesar with blackened chicken (LOVE) and the poke bowl (double LOVE). I always think of W+F in hindsight, to be honest, it's rarely my first choice, but I'm always happy when I go! The service is great, the food comes out pretty quick, and there's a ton of different options. read more

I was really looking forward to trying this place and sadly was very disappointed by it. We ordered through Uber eats. Everything was packaged nicely and delivered on time. Unfortunately, the food was just bad. The nachos were only meh, but nachos are one of those things that are very hard to mess up. The burritos were not good at all and weren't worth continuing to eat. Very disappointed by this place. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't come back. read more
