The White Oak Cottage

Loved this restaurant. I must say, my girlfriend suggested it as I never heard of it in all my trips to Tampa, FL. I think that I was mostly impressed by the store. I could spend hours looking at all the furniture and nick nacks.For my brunch, I ordered the Belgium waffles with side of scrambled eggs and link sausage and delicious hot chocolate. I enjoyed it. Service was very good all around. Friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back.

The good: Nice ambience. Pleasant waitresses. Food was delicious. The bad: It took almost 1.5 hours to receive our entree. The restaurant was not crowded by this time. The manager never stepped up to explain the situation. However they did offer a small discount for our trouble. Even at this price point it was overpriced. Not worth the 35 minute drive to dine there again.

Let's just say that if Gordon Ramsy walked in, he will have a mouth full of filth to say after looking at the menu.Menu is way too large causing a huge delay in food. I ordered blackened shrimp and scallops pasta that takes not more than 10 minutes to prepare in a kitchen, and got nothing but my appetizer in 70 minutes. Had to leave without even trying the food when I was told: "Sorry, not sure how much longer."Wait staff were nice and professional, kitchen staff looked busy, but again, huge menu is always an indicator of an inexperienced head chef or over compensating for a lack of something.

Came here for a Sunday brunch and loved it. The ambiance is amazing, service was great and we all enjoyed our food. Be sure to make a reservation and enjoy something different, you won't regret it.

This is such a cute and unique place. Built within an old cottage is a mixture of home decor and baked goods. It's a very tight squeeze getting around, so don't wear loose clothing. The floors are also uneven so wear appropriate shoes. That said, the food was well seasoned and delicious and our waitress, Brooke was such a gem. Will definitely be back.

This charming White Oak Cottage is more than just a restaurant and store... It's a destination! The food at the restaurant was excellent - highly recommend the pear and brie artisan flatbread, shrimp and corn chowder, and roasted brussel sprouts. The fruit wine flight was fun and tasty as was the berry seltzer, and the White Oak Cottage hot tea with honey was amazing. The restaurant was adorably decorated, and the servers were friendly and helpful. The store was a beautiful boutique-type space, full of beautiful items for the home, as well as items that would make perfect gifts.We enjoyed our girls' night out at the White Oak Cottage... Thank you White Oak! We will definitely return!

Super cute restaurant and boutique with delicious food. We were seated to eat quickly, our server was friendly, food was a tad slow but definitely okay for house made dishes. Diner be ware: the brussel sprouts portion is HUGE! Hope you're really hungry of you're ordering them! The boutique has a ton of cute items, sliiiiightly on the pricey side. Also kinda tight quarters so if you're claustrophobic you might not enjoy the shopping part.

Very nice atmosphere. Charming. Good food. Consistent. Good options. Loved the White Oak Martini! Coconut shrimp were very good. Burrata toast was too light on Burrata. Scallop appetizer had great flavor. The french dip was ok.

Excellent meal! We had coconut shrimp as an appetizer. It was wonderful. I had the filet, husband had short ribs, both were excellent. I'm not a fan of Brussels sprouts, but waitress Sara said they were good, so I tried them. Very good. This is the best restaurant we've been to in this part of Florida. We'll be back!

Our family had dinner here and cannot say enough great things about our visit. The atmosphere was so cute and so unique. Our server, Angel, was AMAZING! She took such good care of us. Our food was spectacular. We had the brussel sprouts appetizer....so, so good! I had the scallops and they were absolutely delicious! My sister and brother-in-law had the salmon and said it was the tastiest they had ever had. We will definitely come back to try other dishes. What a wonderful find!
