Restaurants near Merritt Crossing Shopping Center

Thank you for another special visit. The warm welcome blended with friendly service and beyond reality courses delivered perfection again. We live in Manhattan most of the time and you easily eclipse many spots in town. You’re our favorite in Tampa.

This is the perfect spot for couples, solo diners, or small groups seeking a relaxing and joyful gastronomic experience. The serene surroundings create an atmosphere of calm and comfort, while the beautifully presented dishes are a feast for both the eyes and the palate. Every bite feels like a celebration of real, flavorful food. The poised and friendly staff are attentive to your every need, ensuring your experience is nothing short of exceptional. You’ll leave with a smile on your face and a longing to return for more. ROBERT A

We arrived early so the space wouldn’t be so loud - which was fine for us. The server was attentive and helpful. 3 in our group ordered the delicious rack of lamb - a monthly special. The 4th person in our group enjoyed the melt-in- your-mouth grouper piccata. We had no room left for dessert.

A friend of ours was raving about the place and so we decided to give it a try and we were so happy to see that we finally got an upscale restaurant up north in our part of town. The Lutz, Odessa and Land O Lakes area has been ignored by upscale restaurants. The ambience was great. The staff was comparable to any other upscale restaurant with their attentiveness and friendliness. The portions were generous, food was fresh and well made, and obviously high grade meats. We felt very comfortable and will be going back regularly. Congratulations to Mr. Birkin. You hit a home run with this restaurant.!

Have loved this restaurant since they opened. Moved 1.5 hrs south so haven’t been in over 7 years - still good! I still miss the pumpernickel bread though… Kayla was our server and she was over the top EXCELLENT!!! We dine out a lot and it’s been along time since we’ve had such a great server. Tonight we had guests with us and they loved it too😃
