Madame Fortune Dessert + HiFi Parlour

Atmosphere was great. Our table enjoyed the appetizers more than the entrees. Sangria pitcher was on point. The pepper pot oxtail shepherd pie was good but the oxtails were very salty. Cabbage/collars w/the cornbread were the hit of the entree. Turkey wings were awesome, well seasoned and fall off the bone tender. Mussels & shrimp had a slight kick amazing.

Most of my review will be based on once we were seated (not sure if this is the norm for a Saturday, waiting time was long even with reservations and there were a few patrons that left before us which probably allowed to sit quicker.) Great vibes ( music was chill and the lighting was intimate). The food that we order, we must say was excellent, from the appetizer to the dessert. We will definitely come back to try the other items on the menu. The manager Jarvis constantly check on us to make sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our experience.

We didn’t wait long to get seated and we were late. The food was good I had lamb chops. Espresso Martini was perfect 1 cup I was tipsy it had the alcohol in it for sure. The set up is nice played nice music all nice.

We had an incredible experience at Madame Fortune! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and vibrant. The food was absolutely packed with flavor—every dish we tried was expertly crafted and delicious. You can truly taste the care and creativity in each bite. What made our visit even more memorable was our server, Tim. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Tim’s service took our dining experience to the next level. If you’re looking for bold, flavorful cuisine and top-notch service, Madame Fortune is the place to go. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Had an awesome supper last night at Madam Fortune. Started with mixed drinks and their corn bread appetizer. All four meals were large and flavorful. The sides were well matched with the main courses. Their smoked mac and cheese is a side dish that should not be overlooked!

We had a really nice time at Madame Fortune — the atmosphere was vibrant, the food and drinks were great, and everything started off perfectly. Our server, Cheyenne, was friendly and attentive at the beginning, making us feel welcome and helping us with recommendations. Toward the end of the evening, though, the service started to taper off a bit. It took longer to get refills and to close out, which was a little disappointing after such a great start. That said, we understand it can get busy, and overall the experience was still positive. We’d definitely come back — hoping for that same great service from start to finish next time!

I found this spot and thought it looked pretty so I invited a few friends to join me for my birthday. The ambiance was stellar! I was absolutely taken with the scenery and attention to detail. It was only rivaled by the amazing service from Jessica. Not only was she lovely in appearance but she was just amazing, she made the experience a ten with her friendly and witty demeanor. Literally she did everything within her power to make this experience the best it could be. She deserves all the accolades.

Tim was amazing! I visited for my birthday and he was the perfect server! Thanks Tim I’m getting back on my flight home happy because of you! I appreciate your service! You were great! Food was amazing aswell! *Although Tim was great when we came in there was a guy sleeping in the lobby upon our arrival they let him in early so I assume he was someone they all knew. It was just unprofessional! Great place and I will definitely be back.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The waitress were so nice- even went above and beyond to capture the best picture of us. This place is where you go if you want to dress up and feel fancy. The food was delicious- the lambchops were perfectly seasoned and tender. The manager walked by every table and checked in with the customers. This place is one of few that doesn't include tip automatically on the check!

I had a great experience here. The entrance is behind a bookcase and the decor is very sophisticated so it had a nice vibe. The service and food were great. Oxtail and grits-- The meat was very tender and warming so it was a well cooked and seasoned dish overall. Sweet potato cheesecake-- It included a layer of actual cake rather than just cream cheese/pie filling that most versions of this dish include so I enjoyed this a lot.

Great atmosphere and great food . I really enjoyed the sweet potato pancakes Will definitely be back

The good. Place has awesome decor. The staff were all very friendly and interesting. The drinks were very good (tried the South of Harlem and another whose name I can't remember). We ordered the honey lemon pepper turkey wings and they were mind-blowingly good. I'd return just for that. The not so good. I wanted to make reservations. I happened to find them online, made the reservations for two and when I arrived they confirmed they saw my reservation. They then proceeded to ask for my password, to enter the speakeasy. I received no password. I pulled up the email confirmation I got and confirmed there was no password given. They said Open Table always provides it. I explained I'd reserved through their website. They explained they don't take reservations on their website because their website is non-operational. Except it wasn't because they clearly received my reservation. I was very confused. They let us in regardless. Clearly, they need to get their online presence together because there's definitely a way to reserved outside of open table. But just be aware of that little issue. The main issue here for me was that the place was very small (in typical speakeasy-type place fashion. But the rectangle layout and being seated in the very middle made it so that noise was all around us, everywhere. My date and I could not understand each other. We decided to leave after drinks and appetizer because we wanted to actually have a conversation.

We had a dinner reservation at 5:15 and no one had arrived yet so it was extremely nice just have the place to ourselves for a little while. Our server was Chanel and she was a ray of sunshine; so kind and very sweet. We ordered the sweet potato cornbread and curry empanadas for our appetizers, Taylor made and plaisance paradise cocktails, and for our entrees we had the jerk teriyaki salmon and the Benny burger. Everything was delicious and we had zero complaints and the music was really nice to listen to! Highly recommend and the place is absolutely gorgeous too!

There was a mix-up with our reservation: I booked for 7:45 PM, but it was changed to 7:00 PM. When we arrived, the host initially said our reservation had been canceled, and we had to wait 15 minutes before being seated by the manager. Service was slow, and our food took 45 minutes to arrive and was lukewarm. The Lemon Pepper Honey Flats were tasty but slightly dry. We ordered the Whole Fried Snapper and Jerk Salmon; the roasted corn purée with the salmon was gritty. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but service speed and food temperature need improvement.

Great food with a nice vibe but seating was limited. Even with reservations we were packed in tight. I loved the live RNB music. Shouts out to our server Jade who did an amazing job. The cornbread and the Jerk lamb chop dish are a must.

Overall my experience was nice.. the hostess wasn't the friendliest but we all have our days when we don't want to be at work.. we were told immediately that the kitchen was behind about 30 mins. I do appreciate being told than not being told at all. My table order the tostones, the sweet potato cornbread and the crab cakes. The only thing was a no go were the crab cakes, way too salty. My entree choice was the lamb chops with potatoes and eggs.. phenomenal! The lamb was cooked to perfection, my potatoes were crunchy and fresh. I enjoyed every bite. However the friends both order the shrimp and grits and to return them. The grits were cold and clumpy. If you are a grit person, you know that is not acceptable. The restaurant was kind enough to remake their orders. One decided to switch her meal to the veggie omelet which she said she should have placed that order in first while my other friend was still let disappointed in the second shrimp and grits. The manager came over, apologized and gave them each a complimentary order of the sweet potato cornbread which I believed they both appreciated of. Give them a try.

Had a wonderful experience for my husband's birthday celebration dinner. Jarvis and the team were so warm and welcoming, even joining us for a celebratory toast to the Birthday boy! Alexis was our waitress and she was superb, all her recommendations were spectacular! Must get the Cornbread and Curry Goat, so yummy! Thank you, guys for helping us start the night out right!

I made reservations for my group of four at Madame Fortune in Ybor City and, unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. Despite having a 9:00 PM reservation, we weren't seated until 10:30 PM (the restaurant closes at 10 on Sundays). We didn't receive our food until 11:30 PM--an hour later--with only a handful of other tables dining at the time. As for the food: * The turkey wings and mac & cheese were the only dishes worth mentioning. * The mashed potatoes tasted instant, the rice and peas seemed microwaved, and the jerk pasta was dry with barely any sauce. * The curry was overpowering, and the salmon was plain--something you could easily make at home. The manager did stop by to apologize and explained the issue was "overbooking" from too many reservation sites. But if that's the case, why not turn some of them off? It doesn't make sense to keep accepting reservations when you can't handle the volume. Overall, the long wait times, poor food quality, and lack of organization made this a very underwhelming experience. Sadly, I would not recommend this restaurant.

The entrance is Hidden behind a bookshelf in a coffee shop. Love the decor inside. Comfortable seats at the car and half booths along the wall. We decided to stop in and luckily they had availability at the bar. Highly recommend reservations. For food we tried the Mac and cheese served in a skillet and the sweet potato cheesecake. Both were decadent. 10/10

Sooo, Madame Fortune is a hidden gem in good ol' Ybor. I love a speakeasy with a secret entrance! We were greeted by a friendly hostess and grabbed seats at the bar since it was just me and my friend. The low-lit vibe made it perfect for a cute date night, the art on the walls was amazing, and they had a great music playlist setting the mood. Now, let's talk about the food. Babeee, did you expect anything less? Every bite was on point! I enjoyed everything I ordered and can't wait to go back to try more. What was ordered: Turkey Chicken Wings: Big and full of flavor Fries: Cooked just right

I saw this speakeasy type restaurant on Instagram and decided to visit while in Tampa. Once you arrive at ROAST bakery a secret password is requested. Then you open and walk through a bookshelf into this secret soulful restaurant. The crab cakes were good with an equal balance of filling and crab meat. The Mac n cheese had a nice cheese pull and flavorful. They were not stingy with the bubbly for the mimosas. The music was mostly R&B and was not overbearing to where you could not have a conversation. Madame Fortune is a vibe and I will visit again !

Disclaimer I was with a party of 16. The restaurant is small so we took half the restaurant. We had a great server Jodie. She what on half our party. I have to say water is a rare here. They give us a glass of water 1/3 filled ...it 90 degrees outside why can't I get water. After we finally ordered we waited 1 hours for food. The place has low lighting so trying to get picture for the birthday girl was a struggle. Let's talk food The main dish that was suggested was red snapper...market price 60. No we didn't have that. So at my table there was oxtail sandwich, jerk chicken fried rice, lamb chops, Salmon & oxtail nachos. Every said the meal was good. The lamb chops were tender. The fried rice had lots of flavor.

12/26/24. We were here celebrating the holidays in Tampa and were encouraged by other Yelpers to have dinner here. They were absolutely correct in their recommendations because we loved it! First of all, I loved the Madame Fortune speakeasy ambiance. I had never been to one. This was a treat. We entered the Roast Deli store from the street where we parked and were welcomed by the hostess and then the bookcase started to open and we entered into a wildly decorated and beautifully decorated darkly lit bar and restaurant. I immediately felt excited wondering what was happening next. Was I on a movie set? I was ready, ha ha. We were warmly welcomed by our lovely server, Chanel No.5, aka Shannelle. She gave us some good recommendations. Ti start with, my daughter ordered a drink called Find Your Fortune and found it to be delicious. I wanted cold still water. The food selections all sounded good but I picked Pepper Pot Shepards Pie, which was Really good! It came with the delicious Cornbread and a bean and spinach salad. Great meal! Loved it. My daughter ordered the Lamb Chop entrée and loved it. There was great R & B Rythym and Blues music playing in the background to increase everyone's mood to soothing and relaxed. Chanel checked on us every so often at the right times. She was absolutely the best! For dessert, we picked a slice of 4 layer chocolate cake to share. We didn't know it was the size of half a cake, lol. We had a few bites and took it back to the hotel room for later. If you are a chocoholic, then this cake is for you!! The very fresh and sweet strawberries on it were amazing! We had a fabulous dining experience and will definitely be back next time we are in Tampa! Thank you, Shannelle and MF.

Waiter was awesome, I think he was the only one this day. Food did take a while but drinks and appetizer didn't take long! It's right next to 7th and Grove. Sweet potato cornbread and turkey wings were a hit!

First time visiting for half of my party of four. Had a reservation for the first seating on a Saturday night. Took a minute for some of us to find the venue, but once we figured out the speakeasy part it was all good! Cozy atmosphere. Decor and art was spot on. Loved learning the story of Madame Fortune from the website. They have bar seating and tables. Everything we ate was tasty and visually appetizing. We dined on salmon with asparagus and rice pudding, plus grilled shrimp; oxtail pot with greens and cornbread; fried snapper, rice, greens and plantains. The only reason I couldn't give them a five is something was off in the kitchen in terms of timing. Three meals arrived at the same time, although one was missing shrimp. The fourth meal arrived at least ten minutes after the rest. Didn't like the fact that we had to ask about it. When it did arrive it was missing a side of greens which also came late. Our server was also doubling as bartender. Bathroom was nicely decorated and clean. I'd return again. We wanted to support a Black owned business, especially during Black History Month. So glad we gave them a try!

Came here for brunch. It's kinda like a speak easy, the entrance is through a book case which was pretty cool. I ordered the pitcher of the sangria and it was very good, I recommend the potato corn bread and Mac and cheese. Everything was supper flavorful and the vibe was there. If you're in the area looking for some good food I would def try this spot!

We came in with a reservation for 5 on a Sunday for bunch. The Ambiance: Very cool, aesthetically pleasing. It's smelled like an old and musty building though at 11am. I'm sure it gets better once the kitchen fires up. We were the only table for the first 30 minutes of our visit. The music was so loud we were shouting hear each other. The Menu: Everything looked good. Items with unique twists made choosing difficult. The Meal/Service: The food itself was probably a 4 star rating. The service seemed promising, our server came & took our orders 1st for drinks and again for food and never came back until we were finished to drop off checks. We were missing an ordered item and several in our group would have ordered more drinks. There is an automatic 20% gratuity on each check. My bill for French toast and a part of a champagne tower was just under 38 dollars. Paid in Cash, received no change, so I guess my tip was a non elected 20 plus percent. Overpriced, underwhelming.

Madame Fortune is a memorable place and experience filled with different flavors and positive vibrations that come together collectively. Jarvis and Cheyenne added to the great experience, with genuine customer service and interaction.

The ambiance was 5/5. The food was 2.5 for the price. I am so disappointed. The menu descriptions of curry, cajun, and other flavors promises an exciting taste. But everything we tasted fell flat. The cajun mussels was literally a bowl of melted butter, no cajun flavor. Portion size was ridiculously small for $11, maybe 6 mussels?? The non happy hour price was $22! Then the shrimp ceviche was all avocado, again no citrusy flavor. The menu said jerk shrimp, that shrimp was flavorless. Served with Truffle plantains, that had no truffle flavor. The lamb chops were extremely charred and should have been served. I could flake off the burnt crust The pasta literally says: spicy curry alfredo. It was not spicy, and I have a very low spice tolerance! I really wanted to like this place, but I guess you don't come here for the food. They charge an automatic 20% service charge!? For a table of TWO people. I am so disappointed At least the service was good and the music too.

Wow! Tiktok hyped this place up! Reservations? Yeah don't even waste your time! They are not a waste of time and not honored. This was the worse experience ever! The lobby is packed with people waiting with reservations overdue while the people in charge hide behind the door coming out every 30 mins with an update. Lack of communication, no organization, be prepared to wait another 2 hours after your reservation. Finally after a 3 hour wait we were only offered a cup of champagne, nothing off the bill. This place and their sister restaurant need serious help running this place! Their businesss will start to go down soon and you can tell they really do not care! I had mirocwaved rice and instant mashed potatoes. Honestly left hungry. Disappointed, embarrassed for supporting another black business just to be let down! I would never recommend this place to anyone! A lot of work needs to be done!

Make sure you make a reservation because this place gets busy (yes, even on a weekday). I enjoyed my lamb chops dinner and my drink. The curry chicken empanadas are very dry I would skip. For the quality and quantity of food that you are receiving, I do think it is overpriced. The ambiance is very cute and it is a "speakeasy" hidden behind a deli store. If I return it will likely be for drinks.

This speak easy is nicely tucked away with a great atmosphere. The staff is pleasant and personable. The food....well that you have to try for your self, and come back here to say how you were not disappointed.

I waited until I had quite a few meals under my belt before I decided to do my review so now I'm sure Madame Fortune really deserves the 5 stars I want to offer. Madame Fortune is a speakeasy with Caribbean inspired dishes, located behind the "secret" bookcase once u give the passcode for the week. The password changes weekly so you have to make a reservation on open table so they can send it to you ahead of your reservation. It's located inside of Roast Deli which looks like a coffee shop and bakery from the street. It's a pretty small dining room so it gets filled quickly so trying to go as a walk in isn't a great idea on Fridays and Saturdays when they're most busy. Now let's get to the food... Chef Ed really knows what he's doing in that kitchen. Here are the things I've tried, ordered from most to least liked and what I thought of them... Oxtail Pepperpot Snapper Lobster & Shrimp Curry Stew Lobster Macaroni Seafood Rice Cook Up Truffle Mushroom Omelet Beignets Blackened Citrus Salmon & Crabcake Shrimp & Chicken Curry Alfredo My rating of the Alfredo is possibly a bit skewed because I ordered it to go. Alfredo is never good when it's reheated.

This was my second time coming to Madam Fortune's and first time for brunch!!! The brunch options were great and I ended up getting the sweet potato pancake entree that came with chicken wings, eggs, and a whole slice of sweet potato pie! I also got a side of grits. Overall, my food and the vibes were amazing! Docking a star because the service was a bit slow. It took over 20 minutes for my iced coffee to arrive after ordering it. But again, can't complain about the food one bit!

Y'all, when I tell you that I left this place in awe, calling friends and saying we gotta go back - I am not exaggerating one bit. Everything about this place was INCREDIBLE. From the music, the decor (very Florida and classy and moody!!!), to the food, and the drinks?! Plus, phenomenal service. The food was straight fire. The bread board was fine, but that sweet potato cornbread was to die for. Next time, I'm gonna skip the bread board and get double cornbread for a big group. My curry chickpea stew was sooo good. I barely dug in (too full from the breads!), and definitely had enough leftover for two meals. I also got the Brussels sprouts, and they were super yummy. Baked to a crispy perfection, with tons of chili crisp. My friends got some different things and loved them all. We were all silent cause we were eating! Now the piece de resistance to me was the Room 30 Espresso Martini. It's their house espresso martini, made with Hennessy. Y'all, I can hold my liquor, but this thing was STRONG! And DELICIOUS! It threw me for a delightful loop. Cannot recommend it enough. Like I said earlier, I will be returning and introducing tons of friends who weren't familiar to this place. Shoutout to their restaurant group for an excellent addition to the Tampa foodie scene.

My first experience was a wonderful time. Cheyenne was our amazing server,she answered all our questions gave us recommendations. Highly recommend!! Jarvis was amazing he checked in and gave amazing customer service. Thanks for an enjoyable experience. Next time I am in town. I would visit again.

Cool speakeasy located inside the Roasted deli. There are nice vibes. The bartender and waitress were nice. However the food service was slow even though it was as soon as they opened. I ordered the hash flight which was good. I also tried some of the sweet potato cornbread which was dry in my opinion.

This is the sexiest Speakeasy in Ybor City. Disguised as a coffee shop with subtle vibes you enter through an unsuspecting bookcase you're transported to a dimly lit dining room and bar. Now lets get to the food: We had a variety and everything was phenomenal Brown stew chicken-flavor was amazing, chicken was moist Rice and peas were plentiful but just ok The cabbage/greens were SOO GOOD! Mussels were a little salty Oxtail sandwich: flavorful and the plantain chips were a perfect addition Lobster Mac and Cheese- I could eat it everyday!!! Drinks: YES PLEASE. They were out of 1 but their signature drinks were amazing and pretty Service: Chanel N° 1 the bomb! Attentive, great disposition and the right energy

It was an early evening when we stopped at Madame Fortune for cocktails and appetizers. We had been in this hidden speakeasy in Ybor City before and were eager to try some of their food offerings this time.Once you find your way through the hidden door, you enter a space with a luxed yesteryear feel. Lighting is soft, and the atmosphere is relaxed but fast-moving. The staff is friendly and attentive, making sure guests have a satisfying experience. We were seated at a table for 2 after a brief wait. Reservations are highly recommended! We ordered their Cava Sangria pitcher, which was the most refreshing drink ever! For appetizers, we ordered one dish from their Happy Hour menu, the amazing and highly recommended cornbread; and from A la Carte menu, their Crab Cakes! Delicate, full of crab meat, and delicious! Both dishes were amazing! Madame Fortune is the most stop if you are ever in the Ybor City area! You will love the food and experience!

We had an awesome time at Madame Fortune celebrating our friends' 29th anniversary. Our server, Cheyanne was a doll. She was very helpful considering it was our first time. We will be back.

Stopped in for a drink from NYC. Was dressed for an upscale evening. My wife and I went in the lady was extremely rude and odd. She showed us the inside said it was full when it was not then stated there are woman there talking to men. I guess it was a smart homophobic remark.

This is a Black owned business, a sister business and next to 7th and grove! It is a speakeasy, so you will need a password and reservation. You might can walk in and get a bar seat, just from my observation while I was there. The front is a nice bakery with tasty pastries and sandwiches. It used to be pretty hard to get a reservation but I think a day before NYE, not many people were wanting to go out to eat so I made a resy an hour and a half before we went. The decor is so nice and speakeasy-ish. So kinda dark, maybe a little too dark. Delicious Caribbean Soul food. I've only been for brunch will need to go back fro dinner. They do seem to run out of ingredients, so just a heads up. The food needs no extra seasoning; my only complain would be the long wait for taking our food and drink orders.

I went to Madam Fortune's with a couple friends on a Thursday evening. We were impressed with how cute the decor and inside is! We shared a few items off the menu to include the wings, empanadas and shrimp along with the Madame Fortune specialty cocktail. The wings were okay and a sauce would have been ideal to dip them in. The empanadas were very good and the shrimp coating was a little too soft but good overall. The cocktail was on the sweet side and good overall too. The best part was dessert. The chocolate cake was SO good! The service was also very good and our server was pleasant. The menu is overpriced but nice for a date night or girls night out.

Madame Fortune has potential. It's a speakeasy type restaurant and bar. I wouldn't call it a lounge. It is 21+, so not family friendly. The dishes are Caribbean inspired so "curry" "jerk" "oxtail" are some buzz words you will see on the menu. I went only for drinks at around 10pm. I did order the oxtail nachos (not on the menu), I enjoyed the flavors and it was a good option to share for our table of two. Our table was rocking like the Titanic, which was a little annoying and we told your server but it was never rectified. Keep in mind, 20% service tip is already included in the check.

Madame Fortune was one of those places that I had been dying to check out because I'm a huge fan of speakeasies and Caribbean food, but I was truly disappointed in my experience. I had a reservation at a specific time and we waited for over an hour to be given a table even though I was there at the time I had my reservation for. When we were seated, we sat down and then were asked to move to another table because they wanted to accommodate a bigger party, even after all the time we had waited and the fact that we were already ready to order. When we moved to the other table, our waitress was very dismissive but we still went ahead and ordered our food. The empanada was good, but really dry. The drinks were okay. But our entrees were not good at all. I ordered the curry and shrimp pasta and I couldn't eat it. The curry flavor was SO strong and salty, and the pasta wasn't cooked through, so all I ate was the shrimp and protein. My espresso martini was also super watery and lacking flavor, so all in all it was an interesting experience. I will probably go back to give it another chance but I was so sad about this disappointing experience at a place I had been wanting to check out for so long.

the food, the drinks, the service all 10/10! the decor is phenomenal as well as the presentation of everything!

I don't understand how this place doesn't have a higher rating. This place was AMAZING. The ambiance was incredible. I loved the secret entrance, and the secret password we needed for our reservation. Only down size for me personally was they were very short staffed. Our waitress Chanel was our waitress, and everyone's bartender. So the wait sometimes took a little longer. But she was KILLING it. She was super sweet and very helpful with the menu choices. LETS TALK ABOUT THE FOOD!! Cause BABY! It was absolutely AMAZING. cooked perfectly. Everything was delicious and very flavorful. No complaints at all. The sweet potato corn bread is to die for! This is your sign to order it!! I can't wait to try this place again. The restaurant does add gratuity to your bill, and it was only two of us. Just a little FYI but it's totally worth it. Parking was good. We parked in a parking lot right behind the restaurant. About a 5 minute walk. Maybe even less. It was like 6$ for parking.

I had such high hopes for this spot, walking in, the decor and ambiance were really nice. The dining room is small, but the space is laid out well. Once we were seated, the waitress greeted us, and I was excited about the menu. They have a Caribbean based menu with big flavors, and I like that the menu isn't too overwhelming, and they also have a good drink selection. We ordered drinks and the hot honey lemon pepper flats for an appetizer, and things started going downhill. Our drinks (just vodka and mixer) didn't end up coming until after we finished the apps and were starting on our main entrees. Our main entrees took quite a while, and then when they came out, only 3 out of 4 of the people in our party got their food. The last person didn't get her food until 50 minutes later! Though the food looked great, multiple things were overcooked and also missing components of the dish. What made things worse is that the table next to us came in after us with a larger party and had a completely different experience. We watched them sit down, get served their drinks and food, finish their food and leave in the time that it took for us to get our food and drinks. Overall, I was extremely unhappy. The combination of the service delays and the disappointment with the food was only compounded by the lack of attention from the manager after we voiced our displeasure to the server. She did discount our bill as we asked but she didn't visit our table or offer any apologies as I would have expected. Though I wouldn't visit this restaurant again myself, I can see that the components for success are there. With some attention to detail and better leadership this place could really knock it out of the park!

I had the opportunity to finally try this spot after seeing all of the reviews on TikTok. I totally loved the ambiance when we first walked in. The decor is on point. I ordered the Turkey wings, cinnamon rolls, and Gouda grits. The Turkey wings and cinnamon rolls were delish. When I received my grits they were cold, but even after they were delivered got the second time, I did not like the flavor and consistency. Service was a little slow, hence the cold grits. Overall it was a nice experience!

New chef changed the recipes to the best tasting items. Sweet potato cornbread was dry. Shrimp and grits undercooked. We sent this dish back twice. The manager actively listened to and understood our concerns. She deserves a raise.

This restaurant is a whole vibe. The ambiance reflects dim lighting and puts you in the mindset of a speakeasy. It was noisier than most speakeasies I have been to. My server was kind but did not provide any refills for my soda only the alcohol. We were not told that the lamb chops would not come with 4 as pictured and described. She later told us that she forgot. Overall, it was great for dinner. Be sure to visit 7th and Grove for better music and more of a lounge vibe.

Definitely a vibe! The service was quick, lamb chops were amazing too! The drink was meh-but everything else was great!

Everything was awesome!! Food-delicious Service- Amazing Ambiance- sooo cool!!! I live the concept

From the subtle intro to the sweet and savory menu. Excellence!!!! Our charming and handsome waiter,Derrick, was great. The music -Caribbean vibe accenting the food!!! Amazing experience

Went for a second visit and it was even better. We enjoyed several dishes all with included photos. Everything was tasty.

Cheyenne was a great server. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the nachos oxtail which was special of the night. The only one who didn't enjoy their food was a vegan Guyanese chow mein. Everyone cleaned their place. Highly recommend. You have to come through the roast bakery to get to this hidden gem. Music vibes are great. Good for a date night but sit close because the music goes to the ambience. Parking is ample around this location. I will be back and next time I'm going to try the turkey wings. My last picture will be of clean turkey wing bones. The collard green cabbage mix really good flavorful. Just know if you go with a group they have a 2 check minimum. So no individual checks Definitely visit if your in Ybor
