    Wait staff were nice verbally but they let us know several times and several ways what a hassle it was to serve us out on the dining patio. We had to ask for a table wipe (only one other party out there), had to ask for cutlery AFTER food had been delivered (told us to hang on), had to ask for another napkin (party of 3 and they brought 2). Inside was very slow so it was hard to understand what the obstacles to normal service were.

    What a fantastic surprise! I had lunch at Corazon Bar & Restaurant in Tampa on Thursday afternoon for a business meeting, and everyone was extremely impressed. We arrived a little early, but the staff welcomed us and provided excellent service from the moment we sat down. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. We shared the grouper bites and a Cuban sandwich, and both were outstanding. The Cuban was generously sized and perfect for sharing. We sat outside, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed, comfortable, and a great setting for conversation. I had no idea this place was there and had never visited before, but it definitely exceeded expectations. Great service, fresh food, wonderful outdoor seating, and an overall excellent experience. We’ll absolutely be back.

    We all ordered at the same time but my husband never received his order. Myself and child finished our meal and when I asked about his, I was told the kitchen is backed up by 45min. How? When we ordered all at the same time. At least the Bartender was nice.

    My party and I were not greeted upon arrival not by anyone. There was a sign that said to see yourself and so that’s what we did since I reserved a patio table. I just went on ahead and walked out to the patio and we sat down and not a single person came to greet us or ask us what we wanted to drink or get our orders for anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. They were not busy so that could not have been an excuse. There wasn’t much of a the music was very quiet if they’re even was any. My friend and I actually ended up going to go sit at the bar where we were very underwhelmed by their drink menu. And a bartender who had a very dry personality. So we just left. Did not get to experience the food.
