Best Family Style Restaurants in Tampa

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive to both my special dietary restrictions and insanely rapid water consumption. The food was great...maybe not quite Noble Rice caliber...but still pretty darn fantastic! The atmosphere was beautiful. If I could have changed anything, I'd say maybe the music...it was kind of strange listening to a DJ pop music playlist for two hours while sitting in such a nice restaurant. It was at a perfectly reasonable volume. So the volume of said music wasn't an issue at all.

Date Night tonight. Thoughts: we were seated within 5 minutes after arriving (even though we were 15 minutes early). The place looks high end and was very clean. It is a touch loud but once you settle in you understand the noise level is because everyone is having a sensational dinning experience. Service was incredible!! Heather & Auggie were an amazing team who were flawless! Food was delicious. We had the fillet w/truffle butter, prime NY Steak, loaded mashed, mushroom skillet, and the cookies & ice cream. Each dish was cooked and seasoned to perfection....5 star all the way. My only criticism is that we were seated across from each other and could not sit close together (which is my preference). Meat Market is now officially in our rotation...See you again soon

This was our 2nd visit to Hales. We decided to try the duck breast, Brussel sprouts and Dan Dan noodles. We were thoroughly impressed again. The flavors are all well balanced, nothing is over powering. We plan on returning to go through the entire menu. We also tried the gelato and brown butter banana crème pie. Both excellent and fresh. The menu offers unique options you will not find anywhere else. The service is always top notch at Hales. Not the fake smiles or pretend to be interested service, but genuine friendliness and kindness.

Great first visit! Ambience was chill, unpretentious. Friendly welcome at the door and upon exiting. Settings at the table were clean, uncluttered, simple, yet fashionable. Our server was very responsive, answered all our questions, made good recommendations. Portions for the price favor quality not quantity, flavor and unique presentation. Highly recommend the Vindaloo Pappardelle!

We were celebrating our 30 th anniversary. We wanted a romantic yet fun winery type experience. This delivered on so many levels. The charcuterie board was out of this world. The wines Highest Beauty, and Sea Smokes Chard were amazing with our meals. First class service from Daniel and all the staff that had his back tonight. They acted like we were the only clients they had when in fact we were definitely not. All things were followed up with an amazing Chocolate decedent dessert that’s out of this world. So for a guy that NEVER leaves reviews - this was an excellent experience. We are so glad we came here. Cheers to all 🥂
