Gaudin Kitchen & Bar

We chose to go back to this cozy little restaurant with a big heart, good service and delicious breakfasts while staying at the Barrymore Hotel where we have stayed before.Good breakfasts here! Coffee is on the house! We had the Classic breakfast with eggs, thick delicious bacon, homestyle potatoes and Cuban toast. Friendly service. We will definitely return again.

A romantic weekend getaway.Hotel comfortably tucked in by The Straz and the river strait. Two hungry lovers looking for a bite. Breakfast at Gaudin. After an incredible evening at a company sponsored Holiday Party, Fab One and I were looking to start something. Start our new morning, that is, with a delectable first meal. We had to look no further than the first floor of our hotel, The Barrymore. I'm usually a bit skeptical about hotel restaurants. I guess I figure they serve underwhelming food for an overcharged price. In the case of Gaudin, thankfully that notion was 1000% wrong. I am SO glad I ordered the Bravas Breakfast Skillet! The combination of Patatas Bravas (a Spanish dish, meaning spicy potatoes), perfectly sauteed onions, two eggs over medium, bacon, avocado puree and a heart-poundingly delicious chipotle hollandaise sent my taste buds happily skipping around The Straz!I am saying here and now, THE BEST skillet breakfast I could ever have imagined or enjoyed. Bravo to the Chef!Fab One got the Breakfast Cuban. NO! Not some suave guy named Juan. I'm her only 'Juan' (JOHN!)The Gaudin version hit ALL the marks. Taste, texture and titillation. (I added that last word just because I can!)My lady loved it. As we people watched, we sipped our hot coffees and relived the events of the eve that had just passed. This entire excursion was magic. We both agreed on that. And closing the book on this trip while sitting there, eating, smiling with every bite? PRicelesS! I just have to mention the service was Gaudin good, too! LOL Thanks to the wonderful Miss Shannon!She went out of her way to ensure we would fall in love with all things Gaudin.WE did. Thanks, Shannon! This meal, my dish. I was surely tempted to lick the plate clean, but I AM a gentleman, especially when in the company of a lovely lady. I refrained.WE found OUR fortune, on THIS Fortune Street. At The Barrymore Hotel. Gaudin Kitchen & Bar.

My wife and I enjoyed an Impossible Burger (Veggie Burger) and a Smashburger with Cheese. Both were delicious. Love the fact that this dining room is in the Barrymore Hotel across the street from the Straz Theater.

A+ for convenience before a Straz show. That is the entirety of high marks. The Gaudin is a remodel of the old restaurant in the Barrymore Hotel. It does look different. I met a friend there before a show at the Straz on a Friday night. Our server was very nice and friendly. My friend ordered chicken tendies and fries while I ordered a Smash Burger and fries. I asked for extra pickles and lots of ketchup. I was told they dont have any pickles. Like, at all?? Not a single pickle in the building? Nope. YIKES. When our food arrived, I was very happy with the appearance of the fries and they didn't let me down. They were sort of thinner steak fries. Very good. HOWEVER. The "lots of ketchup" I asked for equated to six packets and I was told that was the very last of the ketchup in the building. Say what? On a Friday night? How is it that a restaurant that serves primarily sandwiches and fries has run out of ketchup? Oooh boy. I used all that ketchup, and it was enough, but I did feel badly for anyone after me. The burger was not my favorite. It was heavily seasoned with thyme? rosemary? Something unusual that didn't work for me. It was thicker than I think of Smash burgers and didn't really give me any of the crispy bits I expect. The bun was fine, the cheese was fine. Our server dropped our food off and we didn't see her again for a good half hour. We weren't offered refills (which we needed), and sat waiting for a good while after finishing our food before we could find her to ask for the check. Overall, it was OK. Not running back any time soon.

Tampa, FL Inside the Barrymore Hotel in Riverwalk Tampa there is a restaurant that very few know about. It's called Gaudin Kitchen and Bar.Had the pleasure in visiting them and had good time. The place is laid back and has a relaxing atmosphere. The food and drinks are good. The staff were attentive and hospitable. This is what I have:1) Gaudin Crispy Wings 2) Smoked Salmon Filet 3) Planters Punch Drink 4) Sasparilla Float Drink

Located inside the Barrymore Hotel this quaint restaurant and bar offers a casual on site option for dinner and drinks.The menu selection is more limited than offsite restaurants, as one would expect for a hotel restaurant, but still sufficient offerings to satisfy most preferences. The cocktail menu looked enticing, all the standard bar offerings, but the wine choice was more limited on the mid-range by the glass (just my opinion).The service was excellent! Quick to take drink orders and food was very well done.

This place is no ordinary hotel restaurant. The food is excellent, the service is personable and efficient, and the prices are a bit lower than you might expect for a hotel restaurant in a prime downtown location. As a musician for the Broadway national tour of Wicked, several of my fellow musicians and I ate our meals between shows here during the 3 weeks we were in Tampa, and each time we were impressed with the service and quality of food. Over several visits we had different servers. All of them were great, but more than once we had Komar and he really impressed us every time. We were never there with less than 6 people, and all of us requested separate checks. Komar never wrote our orders down, and never made a mistake when he delivered our dinners! At the end our checks were correct and delivered in a timely fashion.I ordered the Southern Fried Catfish and Cheese Grits twice and each time I was thrilled with the quality of the meal. I also enjoyed the Stout Burger and the Corn Flake Chicken Schnitzel, so you will have to decide which one to order - they're all great!Do yourself a favor and have a nice meal before the show at the Gaudin Kitchen and Bar in the Barrymore Hotel - Ask for Komar, but if he's not there all of the wait staff will treat you right!

Amazing cocktail fresh made! Nice ambiance and relaxing atmosphere! The waitress is very friendly. We felt very welcomed! Connected to the Barrymore hotel. I recommended. It's open until 1am!

An interesting concept, probably because this hotel also houses college students . You walk up to the counter, order what you want & they bring it to the table in a box. I ordered the catfish with the Gouda grits. The grits were excellent however the catfish could have used a little more seasoning & it was a little tough. Even with that being said, the grits alone were enough to come back for a 2nd visit.

Bad burger. Bad service. Understaffed. Generally poor even when considering it was 4 days past Helene
