    This spot is not your average dinner destination; it’s a full-blown flavor adventure. I somehow managed to gobsmack three blandivores (yes, that’s a fussy eater with a fear of spice and joy). At first glance, I questioned my life choices. The menu was bold, and I wasn’t sure my “meat-and-potatoes-only” dining crew was ready to evolve past chicken tenders and ketchup. As they skimmed the menu, I watched panic quietly bloom. Backup plans were whispered. Exit strategies were casually brainstormed. There may have been a fleeting search for the nearest burger joint. But we powered through. And then, like culinary superheroes, we ordered almost everything. At first, I had to nudge. “Just try a bite,” I said, like a patient food therapist. But by the time the second course landed, no more encouragement was needed. The blandivores were reborn…grinning, chewing, and nodding in delighted disbelief. Every single dish was a home run. A symphony of textures and flavors. Personally, I’m a sucker for a good crunch, and let me tell you, this place crunches where it counts. The ingredients were fresh, the cocktails were spot on, and the entire experience felt like a delicious leap into the unknown. If you’re a picky eater (or live with one), I implore you: break out of the beige food prison and give this place a shot. You will not be disappointed. I wish I had photos, but I was too busy living my best life, fork in hand, joy on plate.

    The ultimate staple and gem of the heights. Food is unique and delicious, service and experience is immaculate. This is my ultimate go-to when I have visitors from out of town.

    This was the best culinary experience I have had in Tampa in my 9 years here. The food was exceptional. Beautifully crafted, bursting with flavor. This is now my favorite restaurant. Service was outstanding. Our plates were replaced after every course. I’ve tried so many high-end restaurants in Tampa and Atlanta, and this one takes the cake.

    Been coming in for a while now, and really enjoy the restaurant. The cobra collar, gnocchi, and other dishes on the menu are always fantastic. We always have great service here as well (Leah is always so nice.). Everyone at the restaurant is always nice and helpful. Great spot.
