Visited Willa's for brunch over the weekend and I will definitely be back! Everything I had was great! The sourdough French toast is so tasty and I loved the whipped ricotta with it. It wasn't overly sweet. We also had the chips and dip appetizer which was just ok and the eggs and bacon was very tasty! Not sure how but their eggs were fluffy and tasted buttery and perfect! Also pictured is the granola breakfast yogurt which was also very tasty. Loaded with berries and toppings! We were seated outside which was a bummer because I really wanted to see the inside of this place but it was an hr wait. The outdoor seating area can use some fans as it was extremely hot and not all the tables had umbrella coverage. Overall I really enjoyed my dining experience at Willa's and I would definitely check them out if you haven't already been! read more

Made a reservation for 10 AM on Saturday for my mom's birthday weekend but it was not busy. The staff honored my seating preference: No 1/2 booth with table & chair. I sampled my mother's grits and they were delicious. She described her Cappuccino as "THE. BEST." My medium well steak was definitely more well. Their mocktails are tasty alternatives. The Ginger Beer is made in house and was so flavorful I had to take one to-go. Our waitress was pleasant, checking in often, and topped off our experience with a complimentary candle lit treat. I would definitely return to this restaurant. read more

My first Willa's experience was on a first date! We made brunch reservations for the patio, and were seated promptly. The patio is along the sidewalk, luckily for us it was an overcast day, but I could see it getting pretty warm on a sunny day! They have a large parking lot available behind the building which makes it easy in this busy area. The mimosas were great, and the mushroom omelet was fluffy and cheesy and probably one of the best omelets I have had in a long time. Our server was funny and checked on us often, and was patient with us ordering another round...and another round, because we were having such a great time talking. The inside was decorated so lovely as well. Will absolutely be back for brunch again, and hopefully lunch or dinner as well! read more

I came in on a Sunday with my cousin to check out their brunch menu. A-ok worthy 3 stars for overall experience because of my friendly server. My server service is definitely attentive & great! I'd like to note that. Key notes - crème brûlée which is one of my ultimate favorite is by far most disappointing. As you can definitely see in my picture that the crème brûlée has absolutely NO vanilla bean whatsoever. In the menu / that was the description.. (sad) Fries were a tad salty / chicken drier than expected.. & both drinks lack deep nor flavor. The side dish mac & cheese was cheesy yet basic. I'm fine with the up charge in cost for Mac & Cheese - but a charge separately for sauce ( ONE ) that wasn't to my knowledge was a definite ripe off. Perhaps it's my high hopes on to a very cute spot. read more

We landed in Tampa on Friday for a college tour and as we thought about a place to grab lunch we realized it was Valentine's Day and all of the restaurants would be extra busy. We came to Willa's and a super friendly hostess greeted us and found a way to snag us a spot at the bar. We are so happy it worked out! Katie at the bar took good care of us, and I loved my glass of sparkling rose with a bright and fresh avocado toast. My daughter enjoyed the breakfast plate, but the most amazing thing on the plate was the grits - they were creamy and just a hint of spice, I could've eaten a whole bowl! The decor and wall paintings are so pretty, and this just feels like a special place to be. They have a large outdoor dining area, too! read more

Charming vibe inside. Menu had a variety of protein dinner options. The drink list was extensive with non alcoholic options! Our server Matt poured my hot tea which made my night.

Went to brunch here on a rainy Sunday morning with a party of 5 and only waited 15 minutes to be sat. The wait staff is so kind and really made our experience! It was our friend's birthday and they made it a point to make her feel special and embraced the party hats we brought to the restaurant. The latkes are a MUST ORDER! The waiter described them perfectly as an elevated McDonald's hash brown. Perfectly crispy! The latte and matcha were creamy and clearly made with high quality matcha and espresso. As for our main dishes, I wasn't overly impressed with the huevos rancheros nor the mushroom omelette (the reason for minus one star). The vibes of this restaurant though would make me return. In my opinion, Tampa lacks breakfast places and this spot fulfills that craving. read more

I finally made it to Willa's! It was a last minute idea so we didn't have time to make a reservation. We ate at the bar, and I will definitely make a reservation the next time.

Came here on a Thursday to finally check this spot out with a friend. Thursdays is happy hour all day. We split the Bacon Cheddar Disco Fries, the Three Cheese Macaroni, and the Charred Broccolini Melt. All these items were delicious and perfect for splitting. The macaroni could have been cheesier. Service was okay. Our waitress seemed a bit busy. Had to ask two other staff members for items and more water. read more

I really wanted to love this place because I've heard great things but unfortunately it was a let down. I asked for a table outside and in a section with a bunch of open tables I was sat next to a crying baby, I asked to be moved to one of the other empty tables since I had to make a call and the hostess seemed very bothered by this. The coffee was great but the food was a major let down. I paid $20 for avocado toast that was nothing special and covered in a liquid that made the whole toast soggy. The staff came outside and made 2 tables of people move to different empty tables because they had reservations coming but it made no sense why they wouldn't just seat those reservations at the already empty tables? The coffee was great so I may come back for a to go coffee. Such a bummer since this place is so cute! read more

I knew by the pictures of this place that it wasn't going to be my favorite. It was cute inside but pretty small. The food was only OK. I got a chicken salad sandwich, which was probably a 6.3 out of 10 and the chips on the side were really not that good. The mocktail sangria that I got was my favorite thing. I'd say that was a 9.5 out of 10. Server was super nice and the food came out really fast as well for being how busy it was. we had reservations but we heard other people who were walk-ins had to wait an hour and a half! Not worth the wait, but if you can snag a reservation then that's the only time I would say it would be worth it to come. but all in all I won't be returning back here. read more

I finally checked out Willas since it's on my side of town and I went there on a busy Sunday when they were all booked up for brunch so I sat at the bar with a couple friends. It was strange though because they told me that they were booked up and they didn't have any tables, but we sat there for a couple hours, and there were several tables that were still open and never taken that could've been easily sat for three. The rotisserie chicken was delicious. I definitely think it was worth the near $30 that I paid for it because the flavor and texture was perfect. It was not dry and very well seasoned. My friend had the chicken salad sandwich and I took a bite of that and it was very delicious. I originally ordered a coffee to start with since it was a little earlier in the day, but the bartender never came by to ask if I wanted to drink anything else and I was thinking about getting their green juice vodka drink, but I never did get the opportunity to order it. The service was indeed a little bit slow. The fries were perfectly cooked, and the coffee was exceptionally strong. read more

We have loved Willa's for brunch so thought we'd try her out for dinner! They have a wonderful happy hour til 6 with $10 cocktails. Ambiance inside was intimate, homey, and relaxing -- very cute and demure. The lavender wildfire was absolutely delicious, just wish it was a lil bigger than a few sips. My boyfriend loved the honey old fashioned. For apps, rosemary focaccia was well done. Star of the show was my steak salad (a salad, I know!). I subbed the ranch for their green goddess dressing and was so glad I did. The steak was perfectly cooked at medium rare (and a generous portion), served with pecans, dates, roasted carrots and blue cheese. I've never had dates on a salad before, but they added the perfect sweetness to balance the steak and blue cheese. YUM! My boyfriend loved his steak sandwich, served on fresh ciabatta with caramelized onions and jalapeños. read more

I visited Willa's for dinner on a weekday with my husband. We were well over due to try this place as we live nearby. We did not have a reservation but were seated quickly and asked to sit outside which was not a problem. Willis has a parking lot directly adjacent to the restaurant, so parking is not an issue. Our server was attentive and came over quickly to see if we wanted to drinks and bring water. We ended up ordering the muscles and fries as an entrée and the beef tartare appetizer. This was plenty, and both dishes were excellent . I recommend checking out the nightly specials as they have buy one get one schnitzel on Sundays, which I will definitely be back for. We will definitely return to Willa's. I really want to check out Bogo schnitzel on a Sunday. read more

Willa's has an interesting menu, and it's hard to pinpoint what exactly they specialize in. I've been here multiple times since they first opened. Initially, I wasn't too impressed--though their cocktails were delicious--but my recent visit completely changed my mind. Unfortunately, the phone did not eat first . The food was pretty good this time around! I tried the Smashburger, which was unique since it came on an English muffin. My only critique is that it could have used a bit more condiments, but the fries were absolutely delicious, crispy, and a great portion size. We also tried the Steak Frites. My friend ordered it medium, but it leaned a little too raw for our liking. However, the chimichurri sauce that accompanied the dish was amazing and really elevated the flavor. The Shrimp Frites was good as well, though the sauce was slightly salty. For dessert, the crème brûlée was a highlight--perfect texture, not too sweet, and just right. Another favorite was the mac & cheese, which had a very generous portion size and a creamy, yummy flavor. One thing I can't forget is the cucumber soda--it was so refreshing! I could've easily had 10 of these. Even though it's a non-alcoholic drink, it would make a fantastic base for a cucumber gimlet. Service was another standout. Everyone was super attentive and kind, with multiple staff members checking in on us throughout our meal. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night, but I know this place can get packed, so plan accordingly. Another thing to mention is Willa's Provisions, a separate area with different hours where you can grab coffee, muffins, and other treats. One of my favorites there--and also available in the restaurant--is the affogato, which is always a treat. The vibe at Willa's is relaxed but still feels a bit upscale, making it a great spot for both casual hangouts and nicer dinners. The decor is modern and cozy, so it's stylish without feeling too formal. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience. Willa's has definitely won me over, and I'll be back! read more

Alex was the best server ever!!! Not only was he so kind, but he knew everything about the menu and recommended his favorites which we loved. At the end of brunch, we got the bacon egg and cheese to go, and accidentally left it at the table. Alex literally ran outside the restaurant and handed it to us across the street from the restaurant. Truly 5 star service. I would leave a million 5 star reviews if I could!!! Side note latkes were top notch 10/10 read more

I came to this restaurant after seeing the beautiful pictures and advertisements on Instagram. I walked in around 7 on a Friday and they had plenty of tables open. The ambience in the restaurant was calm and the lighting was nice and low to set the tone. The outside section was also beautiful. We started off with the chimichurri wings which definitely could have had more flavor. My main dish was the steak frites, which was cooked pretty well and came with fries. The fries weren't anything special, just crispy and greasy. For the price, I would have expected something more flavorful with better side options. The chicken frites were great and the service we received was outstanding! All in all, I think this is more of a "light bites" restaurant, not a full main course dinner restaurant, which I wish I knew beforehand. I'll definitely be back for cocktails and light snacks soon! read more

An aesthetic breakfast a day keeps the doldrums away. If you dream of avocado toast, matcha lattes and whimsical decor like I do, then Willa's will be your next favorite breakfast spot in Tampa. The decor is so cute, a midweek breakfast here is quiet and relaxed, the service is attentive and very friendly, and the food and beverage are delicious! I had a matcha latte with oat milk, and they serve a generous portion - hot or cold - with perfect flavor. The avocado toast was filling and delicious, and the toasted bread under all that avocado was even pre-cut to make it easier to eat. Nice touch! read more

Four of us went to Willa's on a weeknight. We figured it would be less crowded and more quiet which it was. The food was fabulous! We all had different dishes and each one of us enjoyed our selection. We vowed to return and order different courses. Service was impeccable - the waitstaff was very attentive. We will definitely return! Highly recommend!! read more

This is a one of a kind place located in North Hyde Park! I really wish they would build up this area more and add additional bars / restaurants, but for now, Willa's is one of the dominators. I had a party of 3, and we were able to get in without a reservation. They also have a walk up counter for coffee/small bites. It is very open and clean inside. Our waitress was friendly and on time. I don't believe they have a super large menu for brunch. I feel like they were missing a lot of staple options that would be available at other places. I'm not really sure exactly what they are known for. The homemade chips were really good, so I definitely recommend those. We didn't do drinks as well, so I have no comments about that. Overall, I feel like Willa's is a good option for the area, but I wish there were more near it! read more

What a treat!! I have a credit card benefit that gives me some cashback for Resy restuarants so when I saw Willa's as one of the options, I decided to check it out for date night. Making a reservation for a Friday night was pretty easy and they have a small parking lot that we were able to find a spot in after a little circling. We loved the vibes immediately, from the art wall outside to the industrial look inside. It did feel a little empty/cold inside (we visited in January), as well as was a little loud without much furniture/decor to dampen noise, but overall, still loved the moody lighting and trendy design. Our server was awesome and super helpful with walking us through recommendations. My boyfriend had a solid glass of wine while I tried the Bourbon and the Bees which was delicious and strong. To start, we had a roasted squash appetizer that came with crispy pancetta and a brown butter whipped marscapone that was SO YUMMY!! For our mains, we decided to split the branzino which came with a apple lemony fennel and kale salad which was very light and delicious. We also split the chicken frites and WOW this chicken was so tender and I loved the flavorful chimichurri/salsa verde on top. The shoestring fries were also perfectly crispy and delicious. To finish, we had the dark chocolate bread pudding which came with this delicious caramel sauce on top. It was warm and rich and just SO GOOD. Overall, a really lovely dining experience and can't recommend enough! I'd love to come back for brunch! read more

I went to a late lunch with a friend on a Saturday afternoon. She had a breakfast sandwich with grits and a latte. She said it was very good. I had a burger with avocado added and fries. It was also pretty good. We both had the house sangria which was delicious and on happy hour for $10. Our server, John, was very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was very chill and comfortable. Also, please note that there was an automatic 20% gratuity. read more

Great Food I went to Willa's on a late Sunday afternoon in time to take advantage of their very good happy hour. The restaurant is large and a little stark but comfortable. My server was very helpful and pleasant. I planned to order the chicken and chips but needed a veg. The server recommended the Brussel sprout appetizer. It was great--maybe the best preparation I've ever had--and the serving was very large. The roasted chicken covered with a great salsa verde was delicious as well. I had plenty of leftovers to enjoy later. I would normally skip dessert, but the food was so good I decided to order one. I had the oat and chocolate pie which was very good. I'd happily return any time. read more

I can NOT say enough amazing things about this place. Bailey you served the hell out of us and deserve all the big tips in the world. She is one of the best servers we have ever had, and I worked in the industry for many years, so thank you for loving your job and showing it. Now the drinks. There Willas Sprotini is better then any espresso marteen I ever had. Unspeakably amazing. The crime of passion was also amazing. The food was on another level to top it all off. One of the best potato latkes.. pretty much ever. The food was out of this world. Go run walk whatever, just give this place a try whenever your in the Tampa area at any hour. (When there open of course;) read more

Ambiance: Food: Drinks: Price: I lived at Noho flats for three years and loved the ambience and food here. The decor is amazing. It's so aesthetic and welcoming and I'm not even surprised it was featured in architectural digest. I went back when I was in town last week during restaurant week and had their special which was a steal! $35 for 4 courses. Started off with the cucumber ceviche with was vegetarian and really yummy. I loved the citrus flavors. My friend had the ricotta toast which I tried and was a great portion and yummy, but nothing special. Next was the highlight of the meal - the house salad. It was DELICIOUS. So fresh with amazing dressing and the crunchiness of the pepitas was amazing. My main dish was the crab pasta which I loved the thinness of the noodles with rye crab and peas. It was really good and not too heavy for a pasta. Last ended with the cookie which was rich and decadent, a little TOO decadent so definitely something to share. Overall it was a large group and our server was wonderful. Will continue coming back. read more

We stopped in for some lunch before heading to the back parking lot for Seltzerland. We were able to walk up and be seated right away. The place was busy and the vibe is cool. Sort of like it sounds be on the strip in Miami. Restroom was opposite--not clean and very dark lighting. Food, we ordered a variety to try. Hubs and I shared the chicken salad sandwich and also got the Mac and cheese and pork belly fries to share with the table. Chicken salad was good but nothing out of the ordinary. Served on toasted sourdough bread so the crust of the sandwich was hard to bite into. The Mac and cheese was good. But the winner was definitely the fries!!! I literally couldn't let any go to waste!! Sort of reminded me of poutine with extra flair. I'll definitely be checking this place out again!! read more

Made a reservation ahead of time. More than enough space in front of the restaurant for ride-share pickup and drop off. Spacious, cutely decorated space inside. Check in process was easy and straight forward for a large party. Server was attentive and friendly, and made great and honest recommendations. Was happy to answer questions and to make modifications to orders to accommodates different members of the party. All of the food/dishes ordered tasted great. Drinks were fun and delicious. The ice cream/gelato dessert was especially a hit. The large group had a great time here. 5/5 - Will absolutely be returning in the future. read more

We stopped into Willa's at 11 a.m. for brunch and were impressed by the warm, airy atmosphere, hand-painted mural, and two long bars that make the space feel both stylish and relaxed. My sourdough French toast was excellent--crisp outside, soft inside, with the lemon curd giving just the right sweetness. My wife's chicken salad sandwich, loaded with onions, celery, tomato, sprouts, and Dijonaise, tasted a bit bland to her, though I thought it was spot-on. Service was attentive and well informed, offering helpful suggestions for next time. Overall, a lovely visit to a great North Hyde Park restaurant read more

I had this place on my "to-go-to" list for quite some time. I finally made it and for my first visit, I went for brunch. It was a nice place to walk into, big, open (after first walking into the coffee shop - so it's not well marked - or I just didn't know the entrance was on the opposite side of the building from the parking lot as well as the gravel overflow parking lot.) The service was friendly and the coffee had good flavor. However the prices are very high for the average taste and portions. And couldn't wait to use the bathroom when I got home immediately following brunch. Unpleasant. I know. I kinda doubt I'll be back. read more

First time here and definitely not the last! Lunch was charmed and memorable. Place was busy with a possible wedding rehearsal, shower or the like. But server was attentive and not rushed. Bright and airy with the right amount of panache. Food was spectacular. The cucumber ceviche had a great seasoning and pick up toss me around flavor punch. Classic chicken salad sandwich was flavor forward. I still remember the well toasted bread not hard with the bit of saltiness along with the creamy chicken salad that wasn't overly smothered so I could taste the protein and fixins. The pickle was a crunchy delight. What more can I say!?! Enjoy! read more

Popped in for lunch and Willa's did not disappoint. Inside is nice and bright with murals painted on the wall. Our server was very nice and attentive. The Huevos Rancheros and Avocado toast are excellent choices for breakfast or brunch. The standout to me was the chicken salad sandwich, the bread was divine and the chips had a delicious seasoning. Probably one of the best restaurant chicken salads I have had. I noticed they also had a very nice cocktail selection as well.

Visited for happy hour on a Wednesday, plenty of parking, and service was very fast. The place is very pretty/ great for ladies nights, celebrations! Happy hour is Wednesday thru Sunday 3-6pm, $2 off drinks and snacks/appetizers: I tried Willa's fix which has a nice hint of lychee, great refreshing drink. We also got the macaroni and cheese, olives cucumber ceviche. All were good. Definitely want to come back for the other vegetarian options that weren't available for happy hour, heard the broccolini was good and the veggie sandwich. Also heard the coffee shop connected to Willa's/ Willa's provisions is great too! read more

Came here for brunch while visiting Tampa, FL and I enjoyed my time. The overall ambiance and vibes of the restaurant were nice! The service was also great! However, the food we were served was not the best. The cheddar chive biscuit and french toast was hard, the breakfast plate was just ok, and the huevos rancheros were nothing special either. The food was overall mid and nothing stood out to me. The iced apple cider matcha however was really good. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for the iced maple pecan latte I ordered. The espresso tasted burnt and you couldn't taste the maple pecan flavor. Overall, I would recommend this place for the great vibes and service, but not for the brunch food we got (in my opinion). Maybe their lunch and dinner is better?? read more
