When I say delicious !?! My goodness, this was my first time visiting Tampa , from the outside battery looks a little intimidating . When you’re thinking of just grabbing a bite to eat, you may overlook them for that kind of occasion. I happen to be with family and we had kids with us, boy was it the best decision for the day! My children ordered French toast that had been cooked to perfection, my family members ordered burgers . The highlight of lunch was the cod sandwich and fries! My husband and I were so impressed by the flavor and freshness ! Nick was an awesome and attentive server , we loved our experience so much . We came back for dinner in the same day. I loved the crab crusted salmon and my husband had a pesto pasta with blackened salmon 😮‍💨 needless to say battery is on my list any time we visit !

Arrived 30 mins early for my brunch reservation and we were seated right away. We loved the live music/musician they had! The food was good, nothing spectacular, but still good overall. Service was great. Would probably not come back for brunch but maybe would come back to try their dinner menu.

Absolutely loved this place! We went for brunch and had an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect—especially with the live music! The musician was incredibly talented and really set the vibe. The service was great—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I truly enjoyed everything about our visit. This spot has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

I made early reservations on Sunday for brunch. When I put my order in for the gluten free French toast they came back to to the table that they were all out. It kind of wild since it was an early reservation and brunch is only on the weekends. That was very disappointing. They had a speaker playing music that was kind of loud. Waitress was doing her best. Experience was just off. We left and went to the pearl for food because there isn’t many gluten free options overall.
BatteryResponded on May 29, 2025
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the gluten free options on our brunch menu. We are working on providing more gluten free options for our guests. We're also taking note of your feedback on the volume of the music. We strive to provide a pleasant dining experience for all our guests. We hope you'll give us another chance to impress you on your next visit to Battery. Best, The Management Team

Honestly, some of the best food I’ve had to date. They have a braised short rib bolognese that was absolutely amazing. 10/10 will return again.

I spent $390, including a $60 tip, for an experience that was quite disappointing. The steaks, priced at $60 each, were not very good. We also ordered the seafood tower, but the shrimp was overcooked. While the cost suggested a five-star experience, we had to endure a private corporate function in the restaurant, with several people shouting in the background. It was frustrating, especially when the area had so many excellent restaurants. Given our experience, I doubt we'll return to The Battery; it simply isn't worth the high prices.
BatteryResponded on May 18, 2025
We find this unacceptable as well. I will be messaging you privately shortly to discuss further.
