1823 Kitchen And Bar — Restaurant in Tampa

Located in the lobby of the Grand Hyatt this is a relaxing and charming dining option. A comfortable blend of being able to people watch, yet having its own space. Best of all the food was delicious.

Pro: Can’t beat the location if you are staying at the Grand Hyatt, it’s an elevator ride away. The food is superb and served by an efficient and friendly staff. Great location for people watching.

Con: Prices are marked up due to having a captive customer base. Which I feel is a common practice among such establishments. The restaurant has a very open floor plan, if you prefer a private setting.

After a long day of exploring Tampa, my partner and I were tired but also hungry. The struggle was real and thoughts of venturing beyond the Grand Hyatt were exhausting. After lustfully staring at the in room menu for longer than necessary I decided 1823 Kitchen and Bar was a suitable option. Minutes later around 9pm we seated ourselves at a quaint out of the way high top table in the corner. One of the friendly bartenders arrived at our table guessing correctly that we were looking for a bite to eat. Now with menu in hand I noticed some differences from the in room menu. I opted for the Mojo Pork Quesadilla with peach salsa and sour cream ($12). This dish had excellent mouth feel with a crispy exterior and moist, flavorful meat inside. Paired with a peach salsa and sour cream this created a pleasant flavor experience. What dining experience could be considered complete without dessert, for that I chose Tres Leches Cake. A lactose intolerant nightmare that I thoroughly enjoyed. By this time of night the restaurant is by no means crowded so I didn’t feel rushed in the least bit, however I was satisfied to meander back to my room and settled in for the nights sleep. I highly recommend dining here at least once if you’re staying at the Grand Hyatt, it has wonderful food and a...

Located in the lobby of Grand Hyatt Tampa Bay hotel. While here on vacation my son and I ate here every morning for breakfast during our stay and one evening for dinner. It is an additional cost as this Hyatt doesn't offer the typical inclusive breakfast offered at some other Hyatt brands. You can choose buffet for breakfast or order off the menu. We did a mix of both. In the buffet, I found the fresh fruits to be excellent and well ripened. Pancakes are fluffy and delicious along with the egg frittata cooked with veggies and hash brown potatoes was also excellent. There's a nice variety to appease multiple palates. And fresh grapefruit juice which is hard to get at most eateries.

The miso salmon and lobster bisque soup we had for dinner was...

We were looking for a nice Sunday brunch spot after a morning graduation and this place kept coming up. We called to make sure they could accommodate 13 people and they said yes. When we got there there were two tables lined up with about 7 breakfast items over those little oil can burners but not much food. A girl came out and said we were welcome to take a couple of styrofoam containers with us but they could not accommodate 13 people. It makes me wonder if the reviewers had ever been to a nice brunch before. No mentioned of how much they would have charged to take out two containers of food they were about...
