Flew in yesterday from New York for a quick business meeting + lunch and my client suggested this being less than 10 mins. from the airport. This restaurant is at the far end of the lobby of The Current hotel, Autograph Collection and a Marriott property. First impression is it's wonderful, understated chic and we were given a nice table with a great view of the pool and Tampa Bay. Staff and service on point. I believe Rafael was the one who attended to us and was also multi tasking at the same time as bartender and did pretty well balancing things. Thanks, Rafael!
We came in when they were 10 mins to closing the kitchen for breakfast and we were there for lunch so we asked for coffee first and their coffee is pretty good. As for lunch we tried the Yellowfin Tuna Crispy Wonton and was pretty good! And for entrees, we both went for the Blackened Grouper Sandwich which was delicious! Also came with fries which were pretty good. I upgraded mine to Truffle fries, enjoyed it. The only thing I'd suggest is for the kitchen to have grilled salmon or chicken or steak and not just be limited to burger, tacos and sandwiches.
Overall a productive business lunch and loved the food and the view. Pretty easy to get to and the restrooms by the lobby are also spacious and kept really clean!

. The aroma of sizzling shrimp and creamy grits filled the air as I stepped into the charming breakfast haven. The warm, inviting ambiance set the stage for a delightful morning. With anticipation, I ordered the signature shrimp and grits, a dish that promised to tantalize my taste buds.
As the plate arrived, my eyes widened with delight. A mound of golden grits, studded with plump, succulent shrimp, was artfully arranged. Each shrimp, perfectly cooked, exuded a subtle spice that danced on my palate. The grits, creamy and comforting, provided the ideal canvas for the flavorful shrimp.
With each bite, I was transported to a culinary heaven. The combination of textures and flavors was simply divine. The shrimp, tender and juicy, complemented the rich, cheesy grits flawlessly. The subtle spice added a delightful kick, elevating the dish to new heights.
As I savored the last morsel, I couldn't help but smile. This breakfast experience was more than just a meal; it was a culinary journey that left me feeling satisfied and content.

My fiancé and his friend went here today to grab a meal before exploring the beach on their weekend trip to explore Tampa. As soon as they sat down they were immediately questioned about who they were and made to feel extremely uncomfortable by an older white employee of the hotel that the restaurant is attached to. As far as we’re aware, this isn’t only a restaurant for people staying at the hotel…they just left because the stares and questions became too much.
10/10 don’t recommend

Food was so amazing. I had the lamb and the Mac and cheese and it was one of the best meals ever. Mojito was good too. Very tiny restaurant but very pretty

First off the service was perfect. Our wait staff was pure perfection. The restaurant was beautiful. And our appetizer was perfect. They also had a tasty non alcoholic beer that I could enjoy.
Unfortunately I cannot give a perfect experience because my steak bites were too tough to eat. They were also lacking flavor.
My wife's burger was also unseasoned and bland.
I do not think I would come back for a second try. With the costs of the meals this really is a one chance deal. I could get an equivalent meal half the price at other places.
