    We have been coming here for years and sadly the New Years eve experience was not what we have been used to. Right off the bat, we were about 15 minutes early for our reservation but the hostess seemed confused and kept asking for our reservation details. OK happens. Went to the bar and wife got a drinks. I asked for a diet since I was driving. No soda. But instead of seeming concerned about it the bartender offered a can of coke. So not off to great start. We got seated about 15 minutes after our reservation time. Again, no biggie. But then once we put in our food order we only saw our waiter maybe once. We sat 15-20 after eating waiting for him to come back for a dessert menu and boxes. Ordered dessert to go and again, waited for the check. Manager had to settle us out. We watches our server handle the table next to us all night and we seemed to not exist. It was a busy night there, but as many times as we have ate there, never have I seen the restaurant seem so "flustered" . I know Hale has opened a new place as he wasn't here this eve greeting customers. Mixed bag on that one. So glad he's doing well but miss that little personal touch. The table behind us also had concerns about their dinning experience that the manager had to address. Over all the food gets an A but the service and ambiance gets a D this round. Will we be back, sure. Food is fantastic. But I hope the management staff examines what happened last night and reworks it as it was not what we expect.

    Everything was great but for a group of four, the table at the booth was bit small.

    Always so good. We go every couple of months because the experience is unmatched from food to music we love it here. Had the Tomahawk steak last night, wow was is delicious. Always get the fried chicken and white truffle dumplings. Top 5 restaurants in Tampa in our experience.
