When I called to make a reservation, I had high hopes for this restaurant. The attention to my reservation exceeded the norm. It was a treat to sit at the bar where we could see the intricate, deliberate, and skilled preparation of each dish, which has made me eager to try the blind chef tasting next visit. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed sharing the Cobia collar, quail, and buffalo steak. It was a delightful foodie experience that was so worth the hour drive just to taste the artful craft of good food, followed by espresso and banana bread pudding dessert! Delightful!
We're from Chicago and come down once or twice a year to visit family in the Tampa area. Rooster and the Till is the best restaurant we've tried in the area. Lamb neck is one of my favorite cuts of meat ever and the set on the menu with masa dumplings, salsa macha, and elote salad was awesome. The fried cobia collar (fish collars are another favorite cut) with nuoc cham and radish salad was also excellent. Basically everything we had was perfect except we probably would have eaten about ten more dumplings with the broth on the lamb neck, but that might be more of a personal problem than a problem with the dish. In short, I'd highly recommend this place.
Amazing experience at the chefs table!
We did the Latin tasting menu as listed in first pic!

They even gave us a very nice card and the chef came over to wish us a happy anniversary.
Great food. Great service. Top notch.
Always love coming to this place, excellent food, well thought out. Drinks are a bit pricey but really well done. Service is ALWAYS first class with all the servers knowing everything about the food. The atmosphere is fun and enjoyable, just a little loud.
A Bib Gourmand recommended that, in my opinion, is worthy of 1-Star rating. 6 dishes! And they did not miss a beat ... EVERYTHING we had was Outstanding!
Cobia Collar, Tuna Crudo, Pork Cheek Roujiamo, Potato crusted Fish, Gnocchi, Rhubarb & Strawberries.
Service was impeccable, we love Sabrina. We have no doubt they'll get the coveted 1-Michelin Star in 2024. I can't wait to come back. I want to try everything on their menu, so yes , IT is THAT GOOD. ❤️
Go check them out and you'll not get disappointed! 😉

Rooster & the Till have been in our date night bowl for a long time and we finally picked it this month. We we’re so excited to go here and we’re not disappointed. We made a reservation for 5:30 at the bar, where you can watch the chefs cook! I highly recommend doing that, it was so cool to watch our food be created in front of our eyes. The cooks are super experienced and very attentive to detail here. You can tell they’re passionate about what they create.
For an appetizer, we started with their ‘Cheese Duo’. It was two dishes together. The first plate was quince paste, marinate olives, almonds, cheese, and sourdough. The second plate was fried artichokes, braised grapes, and truffle honey topped with Raclette Fondue. OMG! It was so good. We loved everything about this plate. If you’re a cheese lover, I highly recommend you order it. You can pick from a chef’s menu with 6 courses or do a la carte. We decided to do a la carte!
For entrees, we tried two dishes. Our first dish was ‘Potato Crusted Fish’. It was tile fish wrapped in crispy potato, paired with a relish, dill oil, finger lime, and Creme fraiche. It was so delicious, the potato added a nice crunch and the Creme fraiche paired perfectly with the relish on top. For our second dish, we tried their ‘Gnocchi’, this has been on the menu since they opened 10 years ago and I can see why! It was Parisian-style short ribs, house made ricotta, and pickled pepernota. The presentation isn’t the most beautiful, but don’t let that fool you. It was outstanding. I could eat this all day, especially on a cold day.
All the food was amazing and we were blown away. The staff was so friendly and very knowledgeable about everything. We will be back! This might be my second favorite restaurant in Tampa behind Haven. I’d love to try their Happy Hour! The menu changes all the time, so I can’t wait to try something new next time. Maybe next time we’ll try the chef’s menu.

This was our first time at this restaurant. We went there to celebrate our anniversary. We were very happy with our experience there. They took care of the small details which made our celebration an unforgettable experience. It is a restaurant with a modern atmosphere. They manage the concept of the open kitchen. They have an excellent bar with great options. The menu is fantastic and very creative. All the dishes we tried were delicious and the combination of flavors was amazing. I loved their ice cream. Very unique.

Dear Mr. and Ms. Michelin :
Kindly prominently affix at least two stars upon Rooster and the Till without any delay.
I visited Rooster and the Till on August 18, 2023. We were presented with a card detailing a tasting menu. Without even so much as glancing at the offerings, we threw caution to the wind and ordered it blind along with the wine pairings.
What a spectacular decision it was ! Mere words cannot not give proper justice to the experience. Each course was properly planned with sophisticated insight. This was one of the very rarest of occasions when all senses can be activated to work in harmony - elevated, layered tastes ; deep aromas ; varied sights ; textured feels ; and if you paid close enough attention, there were even sounds. And each course was methodically built to be bridged upon the last - it was a true masterpiece symphony.
I have only been in Tampa for about nine months now, but I eat out nearly every night. I have enjoyed many places that are on different levels and have not loved others. On this top tier, I very much like places such as Ponte, Meat Market, Steelbach, and Lilac and very much dislike places such as Bern’s and Rocca. For me, this meal toppled my other favorites !
It is correct that this is a very expensive meal and not one you would have other than occasionally. But it is one you should have - even if you have to skip eating out several times to save for this experience - you should.
Thus again, Mr. and Ms. Michelin (and Santa, Easter Bunny, Hanukkah Harry, Tooth Fairy, or anyone else in authority) kindly prominently affix at least two stars upon Rooster and the Till without any delay.
Round two at Rooster and Till had me questioning if I accidentally stumbled into a culinary dollhouse – the meal sizes are petite, to say the least. But fear not, the Gnochi came in like a flavor superhero, saving the day in its tiny but mighty glory. I swear, it’s like they have a magician in the kitchen.
The portions might be playing hide and seek, but the Gnochi deserves a standing ovation. I had to squint to see it, but oh, the taste! It’s like they’re running a covert operation of flavor explosions.
Excellent!! 5 stars. Recently moved from Chicago and have been in search of some good food options. The Rooster & the Till is it! Fantastic elevates menu. The staff is polished and professional! Gabby took amazing care of us. Excellent drink and food recommendations. She recommended the frittelli pairing with the gnocchi and that was the highlight of our meal. Chef even stopped by the table. My wife and I were celebrating my new job (which brought us to Tampa) and they took the time to write us a card!!
Highly recommend the Alpine Negroni. Gabby recommended the Cobia collar. (I didn’t know fish had collars…but they were meaty and delicious. Can’t wait to come back!
The service and ambience are great. Though I would have no problem going back, I think next time I’d do a la carte because the tasting menu didn’t impress me. 2 of the courses were very good but I was not at all impressed by the remaining 4.

Me and my family went for a birthday celebration on Sept 8th- we wore red so we can promote the night even more. The ambience is really chill- the music playing overhead and the chefs are in the middle of the floor. It seems a little cramped but once the drinks and food comes out the environment and palettes open up. We ordered crispy chicken thighs, gnocchi, short ribs and Fazzoletti Nero. It was delectable, rich in ingredients and the food presentation was pleasing. The portions are not small but not big- it will get you full. I got a stain on my white shirt and the owner gave me a Tide pen. 10-10. I will be back to try the Cobia Collar
