Overall great dinner with friends. The service was wonderful with servers dressed in black. We tried almost the whole regular menu. We had previously done the tasting menu but this menu was different and we chose to try these items. The whole table has to do the same experience. The beet salad, fried green tomatoes were excellent. Of the main dishes our favorites were the crusted fish and the lamb pappardella dish. Of the desserts I preferred the black sesame icecream over the apple pie. My least favorite was the Cobia collar. Yes it's the collar of the fish. I have had my share of whole fish where I don't need to try just the collar but I hear the health benefits are there.

Service 4.5+ Food solid 4 We were thrilled that 2 bar seats were open last Friday when we called to check last minute after a disastrous visit to the Yuengling brewery. This place has been on my radar for awhile but since we live south of the Skyway, we are not usually in this area. Cool foodie modern industrial (aka very loud ) vibe, with a bar in the middle and tables with banquettes along the sides. Although we were seated at the bar, service did not falter. The server was extremely knowledgable. We loved the way she described every dish when it was served. Food was served and removed from behind us and fresh cutlery was provided without being asked. * thank you!!! Small plates- some are of a more shareable sizes than others. Disappointed about the lack of vegetarian and no vegan options. Server mentioned that the kitchen would modify. I selected the only 2 options and it worked out fine. Food was paced properly except for my husband's second course being served but mine was so delayed that he had finished and I was starting. Ooops- no excuse for that- very disappointing and lazy. Frankly, when paying $20- 30+ for a small plate, the wines by the glass ( example $19) could be lower to encourage more pairing opportunities. Winning dish- 3 large cobia collars with a sweet spicy sauce. Veggie pierogies - 2 good sized stick to your ribs recipe were described as having green garbanzo beans but they sure looked liked fresh peas to me. I love fresh peas and pea shoots that worked for me! Panzenella salad was disappointing - not much to it. Triple tail fish, $34, was served without any accompanying veggies. Dry and disappointing. Would recommend corvina, sea bass, or even cod. For those who like to watch some kitchen activities, you could request bar seating at the back of the u shaped bar where a chef creates some plates. Most of the kitchen action takes place in the kitchen at the back. Not quite visible unless you sneak a peek when going to one of the 2 unisex restrooms. We parked around the corner which worked out well. Not much outdoor signage so keep your eyes open! What set the service apart, one of the staff shared their staff recommendations of other places in the Tampa area for various meals or drinks. Love that hospitality! We will return and are looking forward to it!

For dinner, we headed to the James Beard semifinalist and Michelin Bib Gourmand-rated restaurant, Rooster and the Till (@roosterandthetill) in Tampa, FL. It's a beautiful restaurant and a great experience all around from mocktails to dessert. For starters, we got the Cheese Duo. It's a charcuterie comprised of quince preserves, olives, marcona almonds, sourdough, fried artichokes, a wedge of cheese whose name escapes me at the moment, and fondue cheese poured over the fried artichokes and fried sourdough cubes tableside. The cheese spread on the sourdough planks with a bit of the quince was glorious. Next was the hamachi crudo. Slices of hamachi were interlaced with balsamic strawberries and topped with mint, pink peppercorn dust, chilies, and shallots. Individual elements were delicious, but get each element in one bite; otherworldly. Rich hamachi paired perfectly with the acidic and sweet strawberries all taken to another level with the pink peppercorn dust. Just a fantastic plate of food. For the mains we got the Braised Pork Cheeks. In the bowl was a creamy Anson Mills corn pudding with a smoked tomato sugo. It was topped with the pork cheeks, celery salad and d pig ear chicharron. This whole bowl was an umami bomb. So deep in flavor. Familiar, yet complex. Mah Wife got the Potato Crusted Fish. Tonight was a fillet of triple tail fish, wrapped in a thin layer of potato and pan seared. It was topped with finger limes, bread and butter pickle relish, dill oil, all on a spoon-push of creme fraiche. The fish was cooked perfectly. The topping of finger lime and pickle relish really rounded out the flavor of the fish. For dessert, the Apple Mille Feuille. An apple is thinly sliced and rolled, and served with a pine nut coffee cake, rosemary butterscotch, and soft whipped cream. This was an elevated version of apple pie. Warm and comforting. The coolest part of this restaurant is that the kitchen is literally the centerpiece of the restaurant. It's not just an open kitchen, but the main focus of all activity. Definitely make a reservation and try Rooster and the Till.

I'm nervous to even post this review because I don't want this spot to turn into a wait list only, but the people need to know that Rooster and the Till is the BEST spot in Tampa. I have been to Rooster and Til 3 separate times over the course of 3 years. It is one of the few restaurants where it just gets better each time. For me personally, this restaurant remains my number 1 because they know exactly who they are and don't try to be something they aren't. Their service is unmatched compared to other big name restaurants in Tampa. The staff pays close attention to detail (which just elevates the whole experience), while talking to you as a lifelong friend. As a music lover, it's a nice touch to hear some classic hip hop/ R&B songs. You just feel "cool" here! The food, even though pricey, is well worth it. I like to think of these meals as an "investment" for a proper dining experience. The creativity and blend of different ingredients make you think "this will never work" but once you take that first bite you start to think "where has this been my whole life". I included photos from my 2nd time at dinning here. Still thinking about the flan a year later! No photos of them but the drinks are amazing. Priced fair based on the amount of liquor you receive. Again, art in a liquid form. I mean how do they do it?! Again, it's pricey, BUT WORTH IT. No shade to other restaurants, but if you are going to pay the money you better receive a PROPER experience through and through. Rooster and the Till does this and MORE. Grateful to have such an amazing restaurant here in Tampa Bay!
