A gem !! So many choices in St Pete for dining so this had been missed previously but we are sure glad we found it. We sat at the bar waiting for our reservation time and decided to stay put and are glad we did. Ryne, our bartender was a pleasure. Helpful with the bar and food questions we peppered him with. All of our choices were splendid and while we chose wine over cocktails this time there are plenty of interesting cocktails we will be happy to come back and try. We went the tapas route and this provided us the opportunity to taste a lot and we weren’t disappointed. Some highlights are the beet carpaccio salad and onion soup dumplings but everything was great. We will be back for sure !!!!

We were at Tropez to celebrate a birthday. We enjoyed sharing plates of the very creative and delicious offerings. The service was timely & reasonably attentive. The menu offers a nice variety of small plate items as well entree’s. We actually mixed in some entrees in with the small plates in sharing among the group. The only negative if any, was that the music was pretty loud. While the music makes for a more energetic atmosphere, makes table conversation a bit more challenging. Overall, a great experience though.

I loved everything about this restaurant: the fact that you can make a reservation; the selection of vegetarian options; the presentation of the food; the service; the ambiance; the decor. I ordered the chakalaka vegetable stew as an appetizer, and the red lentil curry as an entre. They both far surpassed my expectations. We ordered a very shareable desert, bananas foster bread pudding. OMG, to die for! I will definitely be back, many times!

The bartender/ server was excellent, from cocktails to food service to recommendations he was spot on. The ambiance was perfect as well. I would highly recommend this place for a date night, it is quite small so a large party might be a challenge.

The evening started out amazing with fabulous tapas and great service. Shortly afterwards, the place filled and they were very short staffed, so it was nearly impossible to get our check. The food was first rate with a lovely presentation. We had Morrocan meatballs, Brazilluan cheese bread, beet carpacio, and trifungo. I would definitely order all of them again. If they were able to adequately staff the restaurant, it would be outstanding for the area.

From the minute we walked in, we felt right at home. The visual and musical ambiance gave a perfect vibe for a Saturday date night dinner. Ryan provided impeccable service. And the food (from the charcuterie board appetizer to the lemon blueberry cupcakes for dessert - and everything in between) was exceptional. This was our first visit - but we'll be back. Highly recommend this gem on Central!

The food was good and unique, but the service was pretty terrible. Our server did not give us a water refill nor did she ask my fiancé if he wanted a second drink the entire time we were there. At one point I needed salt, and I ended up having to get up to ask the bartender for some because our waitress was so inattentive to us. There was a really really loud drunk man at the bar a few feet from us, and he was yelling randomly and it was only about 8pm. From what I could see he was never told to simmer down. May order take out next time, as our in restaurant experience wasn’t very good.

This restaurant has potential to be on my top brunch list! The service was super slow due to shortage of staff (communicated by host in the entrance). The staff was working hard to get service to an acceptable level and were successful. Food was outstanding!

Our server was great and food was even better! Menu has options for a variety of dietary restrictions if you have a group with different needs/wants. I don’t remember the servers name, but it started with an A. They were great helping us while juggling a large party table. We would usually sit at the bar, but it was full. Bathrooms are nice and clean!

I typically shy away from downtown due to parking issues. We parked six blocks away from the restaurant and almost ate elsewhere when finally, a spot opened up. We enjoyed the menu, food, and service. We will not return due to the deafening noise level.

The drinks were wonderful and the server was great but the food was pretty terrible. It was the worst charcuterie board I have ever been served and the braised beef was dry and the risotto was undercooked. I will definitely go back for drinks at the bar but will not eat dinner here again.

For a Thursday night, it was mostly empty. The food was good, not great. Service was adequate but not outstanding. The ceiling vent was dripping but no one addressed the wet floor. There was pooled water on the floor at the table next to us from the tenant next door. All understandable given the historic nature of downtown, but left for a very average experience .

We had a WONDERFUL dinner at Tropez after doing the Second Saturday Art Walk. We ordered cocktails, several smaller plates, and one large plate for our group of 4. Favorite dishes were french onion dumplings, brussel skins, and fried pickles. The duck breast entree was spectacular as well. We also ordered the lemon cheesecake and espresso chocolate cake, both of which were YUM! Highlight of the night was talking to the owner who came to our table to see how we enjoyed our dinner. Our conversation in English and French (hers MUCH better than ours!) Was so charming and made our night! Will definitely be back again!
