                                              Rooster & the Till wrapped up their Winter Brunch series with another unforgettable spread. As always, the experience was exceptional, service was top notch and every bite was incredibly flavorful. Standouts from the Menu: • Octopus Tartine – Chargrilled to perfection with a smoky romesco and fresh cilantro on sourdough. A bold and satisfying start. • Chili Crab Omelette – Delicate yet rich, with soft shell crab and a bright garlic tomato sauce. • Pork Belly Benny – A creative twist on a classic, featuring candied pork belly, kimchi, and a perfectly fried egg over a velvety béchamel. • Jamaican Jerk Chicken Thigh – My personal favorite of the meal. Perfectly seasoned with a bold jerk rub, paired with furikake rice, callaloo sauce, and sweet maduros — a complete flavor journey. • Pastries – The Yuzu & Orange Cream Cronut was light and zesty, while the White Chocolate & Guava Chocolatine was rich and flaky. Drinks were just as thoughtful: • Cold Brew with Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream — smooth and subtly boozy. • Guava Mojito — refreshingly tropical with Santa Teresa 1796 rum. • Açai Berry Bowl Cocktail — fruity, fun, and brunch-appropriate with a granola garnish twist. Rooster continues to deliver some of the most inventive and satisfying brunches in Tampa. Can’t wait to see what they bring for their next brunch series.

                                              We tried 5 dishes (served family style in portions based on your party. Mine was two people)- the beets, tortellini, chicken and waffles, pappardelle and gnocchi. The beets were my favorite of them all. I felt that the pastas, while beautifully presented, missed and had too much acid. The balance was off on all three. None of the dishes made me say I want to come back. And I think you can find better dishes for $180. They were all just good (except for the beets), which were great.

                                              We'd love to plan a tailor-made dinner experience for your group! Due to our small size, we are limited to large parties of 20 or less during service hours. For full space buyouts, we are limited to 60 guests for sit-down dinners and 90 for larger cocktail hour-style parties, where we can offer buffet style dining or passed hors’d’oevres.
