    Relatively new rooftop restaurant in the Bayshore Gardens area of trendy South Tampa. Expensive small plate place good for group gatherings. Good views of Tampa Bay and South Tampa. Staff is great and venue is top shelf.

    We came for the DJ event tonight. Our bottle server, Savannah was amazing. Management named Cara checked on the table multiple times, and it was a beautiful crowd. Highly recommend!!!

    I do a lot of reviews around Tampa and I almost never leave a negative review, but this place is just bad. The entire experience was terrible, particularly the service. There are much better experiences in the area at this price point. Avoid.
