This restaurant is pretty amazing. When you walk in and are seated, you feel like you’re in Europe or somewhere. The wait staff is top notch, even better than on a cruise ship. The food is excellent. My favorites are the 1905 salad and the scallop appetizer.

Amazing Sunday Brunch - Variety of menu and quality of food was outstanding. Service was great. Most difficult part was choosing as there were too many delicious options. Everything fresh made and enjoyed taking some bakery home. One of our must stop places when visiting Tampa in the future.

The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.
