Julian Restaurant

Great little breakfast spot downstairs behind the bar area on Lobby floor. per Dec 18, 2024. Breakfast is M-F 7-11am, Sat/Sun 7-11:30am. Perhaps a tad expensive, but in a nice hotel and overlooking the bay. Service has been great multiple times and food is very consistent. Favorite has been the dirty Chai, Chai Latte with espresso shot :-)

Flew in yesterday from New York for a quick business meeting + lunch and my client suggested this being less than 10 mins. from the airport. This restaurant is at the far end of the lobby of The Current hotel, Autograph Collection and a Marriott property. First impression is it's wonderful, understated chic and we were given a nice table with a great view of the pool and Tampa Bay. Staff and service on point. I believe Rafael was the one who attended to us and was also multi tasking at the same time as bartender and did pretty well balancing things. Thanks, Rafael!We came in when they were 10 mins to closing the kitchen for breakfast and we were there for lunch so we asked for coffee first and their coffee is pretty good. As for lunch we tried the Yellowfin Tuna Crispy Wonton and was pretty good! And for entrees, we both went for the Blackened Grouper Sandwich which was delicious! Also came with fries which were pretty good. I upgraded mine to Truffle fries, enjoyed it. The only thing I'd suggest is for the kitchen to have grilled salmon or chicken or steak and not just be limited to burger, tacos and sandwiches.Overall a productive business lunch and loved the food and the view. Pretty easy to get to and the restrooms by the lobby are also spacious and kept really clean!

Great food drink and service. It's small and cozy with nice view. We enjoyed our thanksgiving meals there and the famous sea bass is a must try. We also had breakfast there which was good too.

Located in a sophisticated hotel lobby, this hidden gem deserves more recognition for its elegant atmosphere and exceptional service. The culinary experience is truly a delight, with dishes like the mouth-watering crab cake and perfectly seared ribeye stealing the show. Don't forget to pair your meal with one of their delicious drinks to complete the experience. A visit to this establishment promises a memorable dining experience that will surely leave you impressed. Discover this culinary haven and indulge in a gastronomic journey that will exceed your expectations. #HiddenGem #CulinaryExperience #FineDining

My friends and I stumbled upon Julian Restaurant at the Current Hotel after not getting a spot at a different restaurant, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good the food was! I ordered the signature dish, which was the Miso Sake Glazed Chilean Seabass. This dish packed so much flavor! The fish was cooked to perfection, and the mushroom rice paired with it so well. Everything was delicious, including the bread they serve before the meal! The service was a little bit slow but they were pretty busy that night (Saturday). Our waiter was very nice to us. Also, we got our checks in cigar boxes, which looked really cool!

This restaurant is really pretty and if you have the opportunity to sit outside on the patio, I recommend it, because it's serene and the layout is beautiful.Service was a little lacking, probably because we were outside (the only table outside) as most guests opt to sit indoors, but the bartender who was working inside was very nice and helpful. We went to the bar to get our own drinks, but our food was promptly delivered to us outside.We had the burger which came with well seasoned fries and I enjoyed the wanton tuna appetizer which was delicious. I can imagine how beautiful this location is on a balmy evening during the Summer!

Came for date night.Was great fromReserved on open door.From the start was a little concerned since found that the restaurant was in the hotel and the picture on open door compared to what you get when you walk in are definitely different but do not let that deceive you:You get valet parking that is free with a validated stamp from the restaurant.It looks like a small hotel restaurant but the food is so much more than that.The Desire martini was excellent. The bar tender was great as well. He was very attentive.In the restaurant the server was great. We got the 16oz New York strip. Could cut it with a butter knife. Also got the fried artichokes. These were a little greasy but still not too bad.For the area the prices are notTo bad. I would definitely come again and next time possibly stay at the hotel.

Good stop during my getaway to the bay. Had the local Cath 3 ways in this case snapper. Tremendous. Like have 3 different small plates. Inventive and well executed. Ample drink list including wines by the glass. Nice, crisp Pinot grigio rounded out the meal nicely. Key lime pie was spot on with a nice rye alongside. Best of all was attentive service from Diego at the bar. Never without beverage and good tips along the way. My guess is he's the "hidden" treasure here. Bay views... tremendous. Worth a stop for sure in the Rocky Point area.

I find myself at Julian Restaurant in the Current Hotel several times a year while on business in Tampa.The bartender and waitstaff are outstanding! Try the Steak and Frites plus a local beer...amazing!

I stayed at the Current Hotel for a business meeting and decided to try the restaurant. I received great service. The menu was okay - somewhat limited. I tried the lamp chops and was very happy with presentation, preparation, and taste!
