★★★★★
“The Caribbean Braised Boar Shank is one of the best things I've eaten in downtown Tampa. The Sticky Mango Shrimp as a starter, the boar shank as the main — that's the order. Come hungry.”
★★★★★
“I work in the building next door and I've eaten here twelve times in three months. The crab cakes are always perfect. The mango mojito is perfect. The brunch on Saturday is perfect.”
★★★★★
“The second floor of a hotel shouldn't feel this much like a destination restaurant. Sal Rosa earns it — Caribbean-Latin cuisine that you wouldn't think to look for in downtown Tampa but would immediately miss.”
