   Date night. Another couple and my wife and I Uber’d to the restaurant. We each hired babysitters, so we can head out to dinner. Service was snippy and we were always looking around for our drinks. I had to ask the lady making donuts about one of my sides that was never brought out. Food was tasty. It was hip, but not the top of the line experience we were expecting. We will try again. Also they ran out of ribeye steak and basically told me oh wells. Went on to explain how they sold 255 or so the last couple of weeks, I said it’s dinner time Saturday night, guess i’m S.O.L. We go out to eat a lot, to experience the night life and follow Instagram/TikTok for fun dinner experiences, just to get out the door, each couple is spending (happily) $200 in Ubers and babysitting. So we do expect to have a great experience, Counter Culture left us feeling disappointed. One bright spot the Chef brought a shrimp something that was delicious.

   Best meal I had during my trip to Tampa. The sauce the chicken was served over was to die for.

   What a lovely place for weekend brunch - come dressy for some champagne mimosas or come casual and enjoy some great food on the patio or at the counter! Love it!

   Earlier today I stumbled upon this fabulous gem and had lunch. James was my amazing/friendly waiter. He recommended the dish I ate, it was fab. I wasn’t in the area later that day for dinner, but the anticipation of sampling dinner there never left my mind. Later that evening I scraped plans to eat anything else but. I drove 45 min back to have an unforgettable dinner. James was still working and once again I let him steer me in the right direction. I had the pleasure of meeting his wife who also worked there. Two amazingly special people and the food was to die for. My only regret is that I don’t live in Tampa and will have to plan a vacation back just to sample more of the amazing chiefs dishes. James and his wife added an non typical special delight to fabulous food which knocked the whole experience right out into outer space. I’m a huge foodie and seldom get the whole 9 yards. Thanks chef and James/wife are definitely invaluable hosts. Highly recommend, actually you’re not living if you don’t stop in and try. Ten stars guys. Thanks for the fabulous food and experience.

   We’ve eaten here for brunch several times and this time the service was very poor . Our hostess was snippy and rude . The wait staff was very slow , he didn’t come back to the table for drink refills or ask if everything was okay . The Food was as wonderful as always which made up for the poor service .

    We really enjoyed our dinner. If you go on a Friday they happy hour is a great deal with nice wines and fun apps. I’m vegan and the waitress was very kind checking on which items were vegan. The food was amazing and service too notch.

    It took quite some time to get our meals. The service was fair but the server appeared very preoccupied with other customers arriving. It was my friends’ birthday and it was her first time there. Suffice to say, she was not impressed. There was also very few vegetarian choices which led to slim pickings. This is still a nice place for brunch, just needs some adjustments.

    We had high expectations with this restaurant, but unfortunately it did not meet our expectations. The drinks were great, but they charge you an extra $2.00 for ice if you order your whiskey on the rocks. The service was good. The food was mediocre and overpriced for what you got. We ordered wood-roasted pumpkin soup (dead, lack of flavor), rabbit pappardelle (was delicious), yellowtail snapper beurre noisette (was bland), it comes with a boniato with coconut which was well done and very tasty, but not enough to make up for the blandness of the fish, spit roast turkey tamales (This is the worst "tamale" I've ever eaten) Dark Chocolate Brownie (very good), Lime Pavlova (delicious), Ricotta Donuts ( just acceptable). We will not come back. Around this area, you can find better restaurants to enjoy a good meal for the same prices.

    I have never written a review before, however, after my experience last night, I simply had to. The food was excellent; I had the duck which was crispy outside and cooked perfectly inside. My sister had the ribeye and it was one of the best she has had. Presentation was excellent, of course, but the service is what set this place apart from the others. My sister has suffered her entire life from severe food allergies to nuts and sesame. Most places either brush it off when we let them know or make a quick note. But our server, Emily, the bartender, and chef worked diligently to accommodate my sister’s allergies as well as offer suggestions on creating a drink or entree that would satisfy what flavor profile she sought while keeping her safe. At the end of the night, our server returned my sister’s allergy card after wiping it down and sanitizing it. This tells me that everyone involved in my sister’s dining experience had held that card and ensured they were serving her something that would not make her sick; our server sanitizing it was just an extra step she took to provide outstanding service. While I myself do not have allergies, I have seen how restricting it can be to go out to eat or how disheartening it is to see something you’d like to try, only to realize you are allergic to the oil used to cook it. The attitude the staff took towards my sister’s allergies allowed her to trust the staff and to relax during our excellent meal. We had a great time thanks to them.

    I am very pleased with this restaurant, the food is terrific and the drinks delicious, go for a full meal o just some small dishes. Weather permits the outdoor patio to the bar is great.I love the minimal decor although the ambiance tend to get noisy inside.They can accommodate large groups in an adjacent salon.

    Nice location om Bayshore Blvd. Megan was a fabulous waitress! We ordered the grilled grapefruit, egg sandwich, and pimento cheese biscuits, and oatmilk lattes. The oatmilk lattes were outstanding as was the pimento cheese biscuits and grapefruit. The egg sandwich was good just very rich with the pork belly that we couldn't even get through a quarter of the sandwich before we were full. I would go again.

    My husband and I are frequent & loyal diners. We invited our parents there for the first time on Saturday afternoon. We sat on the patio - it was not busy. The following things happened: - my dad’s order was messed up (he received the wrong item) - my dad’s burger had half the bun missing (he was too shy to complain) - my father in law had to ask for ketchup multiple times - the coffee was $6 per cup and tasted burnt. All 4 people at the table who ordered the coffee did not drink it. My husband and I were so embarrassed since we kept bragging about the awesome food and service at Counter Culture. Our parents were disappointed. It was a definite let down/embarrassment.

    The waitress was terrible. It took 15 min or more to get our cocktails and even longer for a coke for my husband. Every single time the waitress walked up, her butt hit me. Every. Time. This is supposed to be a higher end restaurant and I was not impressed with the waitress at all. The manager comped our drinks- at first just offered to comp the coke (really?! After we waited entirely too long for $30 in drinks?) and then saw my face and offered to cover the rest. The food was delicious. Will sit at the bar next time.
