1823 Kitchen & Bar

The key lime cheesecake is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser; you absolutely cannot go wrong with it!

We were staying here, so we were a captive audience for lunch. The bartender was our server, and he came to our table right when we arrived and brought water and menus. Resort-priced menu, but I've seen worse! My wife ordered the Superfood Salad and added shrimp, so that was a $32 entree. The salad had great, fresh greens and veggies. There were 5 shrimp, and they were nicely cooked. I had the Blackened Snapper Sandwich. It was a very tasty piece of fish and nicely blackened. The bun was a standard hamburger bun, which did not contain all the fish, lettuce, tomato, and sauce, but it was tasty. The fries were amazing! They were perfectly cooked and had a flavorful salt. The staff checked in on us and took good care of us. It's a bar setting, and our table overlooked the pool area.

Breakfast is massively overpriced and not well done. The bufffet is $29 and just isn't very good. Pretty mucheverything is overcooked, and stale. Ordered a Bloody Mary for $13 and it's just clamato with a lemon. Not good.The eggs are not seasoned, soft the chicken sausage has an odd texture which is decidedly not sausage and the bacon was like greasy plywood. The breakfast gravy has tons of chunks in it that do not belong in breakfast gravy. They have ham and turkey on the breakfast bar instead of cured meats etc. If the food quality was storm related the hotel should have reduced pricing to reflect the poor quality they are putting out and lower expectations. If this was included buffet it would be decent for the value add to the room. Honestly a waffle maker with the waffle mix cheap hotels have would probably be better.Overall avoid for breakfast unless you are hungering for disappointment.

Been to this place for company meetings and always thought it was really nice. The restaurant has really high ratings so we took a little drive over the causeway to give it a try. Open seating and not a problem getting one. Looking over the menu at all the yummy choices! We started with Green Tomato & Spring Onion Soup. With garlic focaccia crostini, cherry tomato. roasted garlic, topped with a little créme fraiche on top. Unique with deep flavors. For my main I got the Wild Florida Meatball Stir-Fry with Florida-grown brown rice, flame grilled corn & poblano blend spinach roasted forest mushrooms, Providence ground beef, alligator, wild boar, turkey, venison & pepper jack meatballs. Just sounded so unique! So many different meats and gator! Really good. So many crazy flavors but it worked. Deb got the Tampa Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich with spicy breaded chicken. Cilantro & lime slaw. Florida Man scotch bonnet citrus glaze, mayo and Saucy Rebellion candied jalapeños. So good! Crunchy and tender at the same time. It is hot!! Our server was so friendly. Didn't eat long for anything. As others have said it is pricy but the food is really good. Cocktails are great as well.

We had several meals here and they were all delicious. We ate here for dinner and for breakfast as well as just drinks at the bar. The staff is so attentive and nice. They always got us what we needed. For dinner I had the French dip burger. I will tell you that this might be the best burger I have ever had when it comes to taste. The beef, shaved roast beef, caramelized onions, pretzel bun and au jus made for an absolute 100% satisfying burger. I must give credit where credit is due. My wife had the green tomato soup and it was good as well. For breakfast we had the short rib hash and breakfast flatbread. They provide dinner like portions which are more than you can eat. The dishes are so full of flavor. Service here is phenomenal. I recommend 1823. If you go, get the French dip burger!

The selection is very good and the quality & freshness are superb. Great drinks, too. The service is quick and friendly, and the dining room is bright and clean. With all of this and a beautiful view of the ocean while you eat, how can you be disappointed?I only have teo slightly negatives. The first are the prices. Since you are in a resort, expect higher than normal prices. The second is the seating. The dining area is a little too small for the number of diners. There is an adjoining room, so I am not sure why it was not open.Over all, great experience.

Thrilled with the buffet breakfast, and my dinner here was exceptional! Many great vegetarian options. It was hard to choose. I settled on the crispy cauliflower as an appetizer. It was light and flavorful, and not drenched in sauce like this dish tends to be. The Oyster Mushroom Enchilau, which had corn and cilantro rice, was an amazing entree. It was a nice portion, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. A little kick but definitely not spicy. My husband had the blackened fish sandwich and rosemary fries. He reported it was excellent. Our compliments to the chef! Kelly was our waitress and she was great. She checked on us a lot and had good recommendations. We were very pleased with everything about this hotel restaurant.

Wonderful staff. Everyone was helpful and polite. They have a breakfast buffet for $21.00. I ate the bacon cooked crispy, pancakes, potato hash, white toast and sweet tea. I was very disappointed that they don't have grits or sweet tea but other than that I enjoyed my breakfast. FYI. You cannot park in the garage with a pick up. You have to park in the employee/delivery parking lot and walk to front. Nice walk and beautiful landscape.

I recently stayed at the Grand Hyatt Tampa and stopped by the in-house restaurant and bar several times. First, they have great cocktails and, for being in a hotel, they weren't overly priced. I loved their twist on an old fashioned - my friend and I talked about them for days after!I also ate breakfast there twice - both times I opted to order from the ala carte menu - and not the buffet. The breakfast flatbread was delicious! I had it twice because it was so good. Every time I was there service was fantastic - they were attentive and checked in on my frequently, but also let me sit there and read uninterrupted for awhile.

Don't order the caesar salad to go, what a RIPOFF, with no protein added $15 for what amounted to a portion you get at an airport for half price. It TAMPA not NYC!!! Why just because your the "Grand Hyatt" and can get away with it? not even Hilton would charge that for what was equal to a side salad at Fridays.
