Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Jekyll offers a unique speakeasy experience with "amazing drinks" and a charming atmosphere. The cocktails are "incredible" and often come with intriguing stories, adding to the allure. While service can be inconsistent, the ambiance and creative presentations make it a "must-visit" spot in Tampa. The high tea service is a highlight for many, though some feel it could improve in terms of organization and value.

    Service and quality of the drinks are the main issue. As soon as you’re seated, a server should place napkins on the table for the cocktails. No option and type of water was given and were given room temperature Stillwater. We ordered the cookies with boozy milk and the cookies came out very early and the milk did not come out for another 10 minutes. When it did, they put the jar of milk down with no glasses. One of the cocktails I got, the Lover’s Lock, was undrinkable. I noticed that the server had problems igniting the flame for the drink. The cocktail itself was served warm. The music was way too loud. The server was struggling to try to explain cocktails to me and to even take the order. I’ve been to amazing craft cocktail bars around the country in the world. If you’re going to charge this much for drinks, you need to be able to back it up every step of the way. The bartender could not properky explain the very expensive Espresso Martini. I assume the price was so high because of the type of the coffee used, but the coffee was diluted when I tried it separately and did not taste very good at all. It tasted like they almost put no coffee powder into the press. I have had that same style of coffee in Bali and it was not even close.

    My husband, our best friends, and I came here to celebrate my birthday — and it was such a cool experience! From giving a secret password to enter through a hidden coffee shop entrance, to the delicious food and drinks, everything felt special. We started with the Caesar salad, fries cooked in duck fat, and tartare, all paired with some amazing specialty cocktails. For the main course, we shared the tomahawk steak, and we ended the night with crème brûlée and tiramisu. Overall, we had a great time and would absolutely do it again!

    The concept is super neat and love the speakeasy component through the bagel shop. The service was great as well as the drinks. However, it was a little underwhelming as I felt I was just in another cool bar lounge and didn’t feel the Jekyll theme. I was expecting it to be a little more theme forward like the Jekyll and Hyde restaurant in NYC and some more presentation with the specialty drinks. I do plan to come back as I want to try the Baked Alaska.

    Circus themed decor was lacking & did not look/feel circus themed. Half of seating were ottoman/stool style with no back support (please offer better seats). Only 4 options for tea (would have liked more to choose from). Mix of sweet & savory tray was nice. Sever was friendly & attentive. My table had half dead flower wilted bouquet. Cost did not match the overall experience.

    Had an amazing experience at the private tasting. It’s a monthly event and I plan to attend again. The different drinks; the pairing with the food; the story behind what we ate and the ambiance made for a wonderful experience.

    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!!
