    If you're looking for a place that's stands apart from all others in Tampa this is your place then. Delicious,Rustic and Simple food that's as comforting as your Grandmother's Chicken And Dumplins!!

    Food is pretty good too, though perhaps a little 'frou frou' for most tastes. Be sure to check out the menu online the day you plan on going, since they change their menu weekly.

    Favorite restaurant! Menu changes weekly. Burger is always unreal. If Poutine, Pork Bellly, or Beef Tounge is on the menu- get it! Also have great veg options. No reservations needed for the deck.

    Sweet Breads and Fried Chicken Liver sliders were amazing! Make sure to get a little bite of all of the items on the plate in each fork full. Taste explosion!

    Reportedly, they change their menu weekly so you may not enjoy Li'l Kim Jun Ong like I did this Super Bowl Sunday! 😜 So good! 😋

    We loved eating here! Great selection of craft beers, wine and food from local farms. Can't wait to move to Seminole Heights just to have this gem within walking distance.

    You may think at first that this is one of those foo-foo places. But everything will exceed your expectations. Tomato soup, hanger steak, and the Myakka greens salad were all superb.

    Perfect spot for brunch. Be sure to sit outside on the deck and try the manmosas!

    The James Beard-nominated Refinery's menu changes each week, depending on what's available locally from sustainable sources and at the highest quality, but you can count on the kitchen's creativity

    Great atmosphere! Fun menu. Even though it's out of the norm, everything is always delicious! Wish they had a fan on the upstairs deck though!

    My husband surprised me and took me here for one of our date nights.... He has outstanding taste. This place is awesome for couples, not really for the family

    A much better place to take a date than Olive Garden. If it's a nice night have a drink up on the roof.

    So these folks change their menu on a weekly basis, but if you see the chicken liver pudding, don't even ask, just get it. Love, the Ninja.

    You gotta love a restaurant that serves beverages in a mason jar. Not to mention they support local farms.

    Escargot was great. Chick pea panisse wasn't anything special. Gotta love their beer and wine selection though.

    Seriously Tampa, so bad. The carrots were deep fried greasy sad representations of what could have been. Terrible fries - how do you screw up fries?!?! Learn to season. Avoid, if you are true foodie.
