About this restaurant

Charming
Great for creative cocktails
Good for business meals

Inspired by the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and Hotel Floridan’s original Sapphire Lounge, a new restaurant comes to Tampa Bay as a modern take on old-school speakeasies. You’ll soon be lounging with a cocktail in your hand and feasting on Gulf Coast cuisine while jazz music and our smooth, sophisticated ambiance take you back in time.

It was a friend's 50th BDay supper so I was all in. I had dined at The Dan previously and the most recent experience out-shone[a[[ our experience in the past. The Branzino and Lamb Pappardelle was superb! It was a pleasant surprise.

The menu online is not the menu they are currently using and has not been for 6 months. We chose this restaurant based on items we saw on their online menu and were disappointed when none of these items were on their current menu. The waiter we had was very good, but the food was mediocre at best. The Brussel sprouts were very good, the Steak Frite was overly salted and covered in a sauce. The calamari in the seafood pasta dish was fishy. If it wasn’t for the waiter, who was very good, I would give it a worse rating.

Very loud walking in. Greeted well and seated immediately. Our server was attentive and responsive. Appetizers, we ordered 3, and drinks from the bar were good. The main dishes were below par. Salmon was dry and short ribs simply missed. Our $250 bill for 3 was outrageous all considering. The quality of the food was $25 a plate not $45. Will not be back and soon forgotten. On another note, we were celebrating a birthday that we made them aware of, they didn't recognize it at all. Any gesture would have been appreciated.

Experienced brunch for Mother’s Day. Server was nice but mediocre at best. Unfortunately she didn’t know a lot on the menu and extremely slow. Took 15 minutes for coffee and had to ask for cream/sugar which she didn’t bring or offer. Menu wasn’t very big which is fine but didn’t have anything on menu to my interest. I must have saw another brunch menu because it was totally different from what they offered. They did give us a single rose when we left which was nice.

Place was virtually empty yet it took over 10 minutes for the waitress to come to the table. It then took a very long time for the food to arrive. In the meantime the waitress never visited our table between dropping off our drinks and bringing our food. There was up to 20 minutes with nobody (no staff) in site to assist. We even had to track down the waitress to get our bill.
