Food was great. Lots of wonderful combinations. We ordered 7 dishes to share with 4 people and we all left very full. The staff was very friendly. The main complaint was the timing of the dishes. They are all shared family style and the first one came out pretty quickly but then we felt like we were constantly waiting for the next one. At the beginning we were hungry for the first hour by the end we were full but felt some of the first dishes could have come faster or together. It also pretty expensive for the quantity. Plan to spend at least $100 per person. $30 for chicken and waffles is crazy when it’s really 3 bites of chicken and waffles. They are very good but for the price it seems crazy.

Simply outstanding food in a very lively setting. Only downside, two of us received our food so far in advance of the other two that two were completely finished before the last two meals were served. Makes for an awkward situation.

I’ve gone to this place many times and unfortunately last time the food was not a 5 stars as always. It was extremely salty to the point we couldn’t eat and had to returned it. It’s very sad we went all the way to this place to leave dissatisfy. Hopefully next time it’s great again.

What a find! We were just in Tampa for one night, and looked for a nice restaurant. The reviews and comments led us to reserve for dinner, and we were not disappointed. Great, innovative dishes, and excellent service. The next time we are in Tampa, we will return to “Rooster & The Till”.

I hadn’t been to the restaurant in at least 10 years, and I was so pleasantly surprised at the updated decor and even more spectacular menu this time around. An all-around fantastic experience.
