    The Valentines Day Menu was a Perfect Blend of everything this place has to offer. The service was above board. The food was amazing and so tasty. Their whiskey is some of the smoothest whiskey i have ever had, no burn, no problem. Amazing Quality. The first time i had Wagyu and it was the best beef i had ever eaten. I will for sure be back!

    Edison’s menu and execution of some totally unique recipes was unparalleled. The flavors were so layered & complex- never have anything like it. Our server, Dillon, was just a gem! He was just so personable & totally engaged in providing the absolute best experience possible. He truly loves that group & the product it puts out & it shows glowingly. We’ll be back next week with a friend this time!

    My boyfriend and I were completely amazed with the entire experience. From the host stand to bread service, to cocktails, to appetizer, to wine service, to meal time and finally desert. Everything tasted fantastic. Amy, our server , was delightful and knowledgeable. Her service helpers were tentative and friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and were so pleased to have been given champagne for a toast. Jorge, the GM, checked on us to make sure we were having a wonderful time. We could see he has a way with the crowd. He was shaking hands and greeting everyone warmly. Later when we got home, we spoke at length about how we have not had such a wonderful experience like this in a very long time. A++++ for the A5 Wagu . The scallops and king crab legs were incredible.

    What an experience! Walked up to this basic square building kind of in the middle of nowhere in downtown Tampa. When we walked in it was anything but basic. We were seated along a long rectangular bar next to other couples but with enough space to still feel intimate. Unbeknownst to us, we were served and greeted by Chef Ebbe throughout our dinner! Dishes were unique. I can’t describe them but they tasted expensive. The whole experience was just so unique and it’s just another level of coolness when the head chef is interacting with you the whole time. Wines, food dessert were on par with other fine dining establishments but the experience was second to none one. Went there for my wife’s bday. If you email the chef 48 hrs before, he will make and change the menu to cater to your tastes and allergies like he did with my wife being a vegetarian. I can’t wait to go back. We did discovery but wished we did the higher level one.
