The owner stopped by our table to chat. It was a nice personal touch, made the place feel more welcoming than just another restaurant.

The crab pasta here is no joke, so much lump crab! Perfect for sharing with friends, we were all stuffed. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

The biscuits and gravy here are solid. Good portion, fair price for the area. Service was quick, which I appreciate on a workday morning. A reliable breakfast option in South Tampa.

Chef Junior was great chatting with everyone. The sirloin was spot on, and the house red was a surprisingly good match for it.

The server was so attentive about my shellfish allergy. They double-checked everything without me having to ask. Felt really taken care of.

The Cuban sandwich and 1905 salad combo was pretty good. The bread was nice and crisp, and the salad was fresh. A solid lunch choice.

The ice cream machine was actually working when I went. That&rsquo;s all I needed to know. It&rsquo;s been broken at so many other locations, so this was a nice little win. Got a soft serve cone and it was just right.

The lunch special with hot and sour soup and spicy chicken. The soup had that sharp vinegar kick I like, and the chicken was actually spicy, not just salty. Good portion for the price.

The classic glazed donuts are the only thing I come for. When the &#39;HOT NOW&#39; sign is on, they&#39;re perfect. The glaze is still a little soft and the inside is so light. It&#39;s all about that first bite.

Love the new spot. It&rsquo;s so bright and airy inside, way more spacious than the old one. Still has that classic Tampa feel, but the vibe is just more open and relaxed now. Really nice for a casual lunch.

The pulled pork was really tender and juicy. I liked that they gave you a bun on the side so you could make your own little sandwich. It&#39;s a nice, casual way to eat it.

The table-side sangria pitcher was a nice touch. The red had a good fruit-to-wine ratio, not too sweet. White was crisp. Both hit the spot on a warm day.

Been coming here for years. The gyro platter is a ton of food for the money. You get a lot, simple as that. Good for a filling lunch.

Stopped in late Monday when nothing else was open. Quesadillas and wings were hot, hit the spot. The house red was a surprisingly decent pour for the price, went well with the wings. Service was friendly and quick.

Service was prompt and friendly. Got our drinks quickly, food arrived hot. No issues with the order. Efficient for a business lunch.

Been here a few times for lunch meetings. The brisket is consistently well-smoked and tender. It&#39;s not cheap, but the portion and quality justify the cost. A solid, reliable option near the office.

Jamal was a great server, very attentive but not overbearing. The drinks were good, and he made the meal easy.

The spinach &amp; feta triangles here are so flaky and fresh. The owner&#39;s son was super welcoming too, made it feel like a little neighborhood spot.

Layla was the only server for our big group of 14, and she somehow managed to be everywhere at once. My glass was never empty. The food was good, too.

Our server was so helpful! She suggested the truffle pasta and it was spot on. The whole place felt really clean and tidy, which I always appreciate. A solid spot for a relaxed dinner.

The classic steak au poivre was the best of the three. The peach cobbler was a nice touch, you could tell they used fresh fruit. Just a solid, comforting end to the meal.

Solid brunch spot. Got the smoked duck club. Big portions, felt worth it for the price. Pork tenderloin looked good too.

Been here a few times. The fried chicken Caesar salad is my go-to. Chicken stays crispy, even with the dressing. It&#39;s a solid choice. The space is nice, with the bookstore and bar, but honestly, I&#39;m just here for that salad.

The sushi was fresh and tasty. I really liked how comfortable the seats were, made the meal so much more relaxing.

Been coming here for years. They&#39;ve got a solid gluten-free menu, which is nice. The veggie options are actually good, not just an afterthought. Feels like a decent meal, not just &quot;healthy&quot; food.

Happy hour is the move. Their lavender 75 cocktail was just right&mdash;not too sweet, not too strong. The small plates menu is solid for the price. We grabbed a couple drinks and a snack after work, and it hit the spot.

Love the laid-back vibe and the mix of indoor/outdoor seating. The chairs were comfy enough to relax for a good while.

Cuban sandwich was solid, and I really liked the 1905 salad. But the caf&eacute; con leche was the star for me. Perfectly balanced, not too bitter. Just what I needed for a light lunch.

Solid late-night spot for sure. The food&#39;s always good, hits the spot. Perfect for grabbing a bite after a night out with friends.

Val was a friendly and efficient server. Food arrived quickly and was exactly what I ordered.
