    This was our first time at Jekyll, and we had a fantastic experience. Zack was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel right at home. The cocktails were top-notch. I usually prefer mixing my own drinks, but their Vieux Carré was so perfectly crafted, it’s now the standard I aspire to. Looking forward to our next visit!

    Another great visit! We ate at Ro before Jekyll and our meal ran long. Our server at Ro spoke with the staff at Jekyll and made sure they held our reservation even though we were 1/2 late. The place was busy but serving was very good. DJ playing old school hip hop which fit our group well! Drinks were outstanding as always. I wish I had grabbed a bagel on my way out!!

    The noise level was high we were seated at a small tiny table for 2 and couldn’t carry on a conversation. We had booked the tasting experience and the server seemed confused. The deviled eggs were delicious.

    Horrible experience! Reservation was at 7:00, stood in the bagal place till 7:20, asked and they said it would be a minute, then took us to the host stand in Jekyll, where we stood for another 10 mins. Then we sat down - the person asked if we wanted water, no one came back to us till we flagged someone down then a server finally came over at around 7:50, we did not have water for another 10 mins, then our drinks did not come to us till about 8:15, we then ordered a second round since we knew it would take a long time! Great idea, but the staff is not trained properly and there was this weird host woman that kept walking by and looking at us and asking if we could spare menus, mind you we were four people and were only given two when we sat down. Oh and $200 to leave disappointed.

    Normally this place is amazing for afternoon tea and evening cocktails, but not so sure what happened this time. Our experience was terrible. We went for the Secret Garden tea event and did not receive enough food for our party of 4. We only received servings for 3. Upon bringing it to their attention, they said they would see what they could do. Apparently, it was the end of tea service and there was no more food, so we never got food for the 4th person in our group. So many other things went wrong with our experience; I won’t bore you with the details, but our server was mainly to blame for it. He was working very hard in other parts of the restaurant, around the bar etc, but he totally neglected our table. We saw him maybe 4 times during the entire 2 hour experience, and when he did visit, his service was so impersonal that I felt like I was dining at a fast food place. He would basically just drop off the food & run. We tried to make the best of our time there since we had dressed up for tea & everything, but it was truly disappointing. Jekyll is usually an outstanding place to eat & drink. This was our 4th visit, but I am disappointed that things didn’t go well this time around. I’m not sure if I’ll give afternoon tea another try. Hoping it was just an off day for them.

    This is a really well designed beautiful space . I went with my daughters for the afternoon tea and have been once before for cocktails. I really enjoyed the cocktails and ambiance the first time however this time for tea I was really dissatisfied. I made sure to note our dietary restrictions and ensure they confirmed the reservation for 3. When we arrived it was clear they didn’t communicate because the table was only set for 2. Note that I called and emailed about this previously. We were also served our food then had to wait probably another 5-10 minutes for tea. There was meat on both of our tea towers so we weren’t able to enjoy all of the food. Even though I told the server that she’s a vegetarian there was still ham on her tower and chicken on mine. He never made an effort to swap out or give us something else instead. My daughter left still hungry and disappointed. It was fairly busy for the small space and maybe that’s why our server was nice but totally absent the entire time. The table was so small he didn’t leave the pot of tea on the table but then never came back to refill our glasses. I feel like I had to wave him every time for tea and for our check. For the price point I don’t think it was worth it. I would recommend coming here for the speakeasy instead. Live piano music was the best part of the tea !

    **Review for Jekyll Speakeasy, Tampa, FL** I recently visited Jekyll Speakeasy, and unfortunately, my experience was far from what I had hoped for. The concept of a hidden bar with a password is intriguing, but we never even got to use the password. Upon arrival, we were met with an overwhelming amount of noise from a bagel shop next door, where patrons were screaming and yelling, making it nearly impossible for my girlfriend and me to hear each other. To add to the disappointment, we didn't receive the welcome drink that is often touted as part of the experience. Instead, we found ourselves having to ask multiple times just to place our drink and food orders. The atmosphere was further disrupted by the DJ, who seemed to be at the mercy of one overly enthusiastic patron. What should have been a classy speakeasy vibe quickly turned into a chaotic scene reminiscent of a Soul Train dance party, which was not what we were expecting. Overall, my visit to Jekyll Speakeasy was underwhelming, and I left feeling frustrated rather than entertained. Given the lack of ambiance and service, I doubt I will be returning.
