    Really enjoyed everything about Rox and would recommend it for a fun night out. The staff was scrambling a bit because of a rain storm that soaked the outside deck. We arrived around 6pm and things only got busier after that, and the indoor area filled up. Service was good, our food (crab dip and tuna tacos) was very good as well. There were some other things on the menu that looked good, will try next time. Def enjoyed tge Rox!

    There is so much that could be done with this beautiful area it’s such a shame. The view outside is absolutely amazing but the seating areas and decor is very bland. A DJ or some live music on a Saturday night would have made the experience so much more than what it was. The place was pretty busy but not slammed. The food and drinks took forever to get which was a shame. But when it eventually came it was very good. There should have been more servers as there seemed to be only 2-3 for the entire outside area where there were probably 50-75 people. The decor was non existent. Some greenery and nice lighting would have made a huge difference in the overall experience. I was happy I experienced going here but am very unlikely to return. Drinks averaged $16 or so per cocktail which isn’t abhorrent but I expected better service when paying that much. It took around 15-20 minutes to get a round of drinks for a party of 8. The food took about an hour to show up and was cold enough to send back to get warmed up. But the taste was above average when warm. Overall I expected more and a couple of changes could turn this spot into an amazing place that could be a hotspot.

    I may have gotten catfished; however, the waitress Jasmine gave the most exceptional service. Amazing champagne and wine, and enough to forget I was scammed into meeting someone entirely different from the dating app. I will now only being going to Rox for first dates (and FaceTiming beforehand) The food was amazing, at least there was a lot of appetizing stuff to pay my attention to so I wouldn’t have to look at the mistake I met there. 10/10 would do again!

    I made the reservation to celebrate my b-day I was expecting to have a calm night and dinner with my friends and we found a San valentine’s party of course super loud just like a club , they told us our reservation was ok and were welcome to seat and enjoy but the weather was super bad and we didn’t have the option to seat inside because of the party even if the weather ok to seat outside the music was super loud , I wasted my money paying valet parking and very upset because I needed to find another place to go , we end up seating at the bar in a restaurant near by because they didn’t have tables available. Not the way I wanted to celebrate my b-day. I think is situations like this the restaurant shouldn’t take any reservation and rent the entire place for the events.

    After receiving a message alerting us to weather outside impacting our dinner reservation inside, I was assured that our reservation was not cancelled but wait times would be longer than normal. However, when we arrived, the event that they were having was a singles event with standing room only. This event may have been moved from outside to inside and standing room only conveys that our reservation for sitting inside at a table Rox was cancelled. Luckily the restaurant downstairs was great. Why would you have reservations available on open table when you’re holding a singles event at the same location, on the rooftop? Everyone was very nice but we had to figure how to have an enjoyable night as no one told us the event was for singles until my girlfriend and I arrived.

    Our server was outstanding! My friends and I we were there to celebrate my birthday, and wanted to enjoy the views but only one exterior fire lamp was working. A few dishes that we ordered were sold out, but we did enjoy our backup selections. I recommend that the owners get the fire lamps up and running quickly as the view for as what attracted me to visit as it will be for many other potential guests. They should also set up a direct phone line separate from the hotel and provide a more accurate exact location description, so they are easier to find. They should also consider playing smooth jazz selections to add to the atmosphere.

    The drinks were good. Service was slow. We ordered the charcuterie board which was just ok. What really stood out was how rude the hostess was when we arrived. We had reservations to sit outside and when we arrived it was sprinkling. The two people who walked up before us did NOT have reservations and were told they could go inside and have a drink at the bar. We were told that since our reservations were for outside and it was sprinkling that we weren’t allowed in at all! Not even to have a drink inside… her suggestion was to go all the way back downstairs and to have a drink in the lobby.. we made our way back downstairs and it in fact wasn’t raining at all. Went back upstairs and this time she sat us. Honestly probably should have just gone somewhere else at that point. We won’t be back.

    I reserved a table for 8 people to celebrate birthday on the sunset, when arrived and asked for table a server pretty much walking and not giving any respect to to stop tells me you can sit anywhere... there was no tables available expect a small one on the opposite side of the sunset, the table that can't even fit 8 people and does not even have a reserved thing on it.... I made sure to repeat myself and say out loud that this is a party for 8 but nobody really cared. Neither bartender not 3 other servers that were there. Wow Service extremely slow and I inexperienced with hospitality. Poorly managed you can see that from the airplane... The ambiance needs some plants to kill monotony of the plane color and some music instead of hearing breaking glasses and most definitely a new management and the whole crew really. Such a nice spot that Tampa has and is not fully used.... what a pitty. Now I know why nobody goes there

    It took 15 minutes for them to buss the table for us and we ended up moving chairs to an open spot. It took another 20 minutes for them to take our order, our food came before the drinks. My drink was extremely strong, it tasted like rubbing alcohol, the one they brought me instead was great though. I accidentally dropped my napkin on the floor and it took 20-30 minutes for me to get a new one. I had to remind him 3 times. The bill with tip was over 70$ for 2 drinks and a sharable

    Great location and would have been a great place for a sunset if it wasn't for the commercial building directly west of the roof top to block the view. Disappointed that my first 3 choices on drinks were out of stock. Some excuse about someone being on vacation and not knowing when supplies would be back in stock, neverminded it being a holiday weekend. May try and go back later in the year when the cooler weather is around and the sunset would be in different horizon.

    We made reservations for 9:00 arrived at 9:01 and was told a party of 18 took over so the sheeting was not available. We got seated in a dirty section for 6-8 with a party of 3. The host was polite and friendly however we sat for over 20 mins before a manager walked by and asked if we had been helped to which we told her no. We wanted an additional 10 minutes before a server approached. She was friendly but did not know if it was possible to make a Bahama Mama. Because the large party next to us was so loud we decided to go somewhere else. The views were amazing, too bad we couldn’t experience anything else.
