The Dan - Tampa (FL)

4 /5 Sara Schwabe: Great experience at the Dan last night! I was very impressed by the interior and decor of both the restaurant and the hotel its located in, with a Roaring Twenties/jazz lounge-inspired decor. The cocktails were fun and delicious, and our waiter was great about explaining what drinks suited our specific tastes. The champagne cocktail with cotton candy especially was fun and interactive! My favorite item we ordered was the hummus trio, complete with red pepper, beet, and traditional hummus with plenty of veggies, pita bread, and sweet potato lavash for dipping. The oysters were fresh and delicious too. For our entrees, the Sunshine Shrimp Salad was light and refreshing for the hot summer day, and the branzino was perfectly tender and flaky inside with a nice crispy skin. This is the perfect downtown spot for a great dinner or cocktails with friends!

5 /5 Bruce Wayne: Went to the Dan restaurant due the 1920s theme and the food and service was great. Its not a real big place but was not packed, which is a good thing. I Will definitely go again. Be prepared for valet as parking can be a little difficult.

4 /5 Chad M: The environment of this restaurant/bar is great. The white tie drink was great. Their signature cotton candy drink had great presentation but the drink was definitely lacking flavor. It ended up becoming a sticky mess and just tasted like champagne.The servers were friendly and fast. Not a bad place to check out

5 /5 Dina Lewis: Best food I have ever had, Atmosphere was great. Classy place but you can dress casual. I ordered the ribeye, it melted in my mouth and I am a filet person. A friend ordered the mushroom pasta dish and loved it. I wish I would have thought to take pictures of the food. As a bonus they delivered this fun cotton candy after dinner.

5 /5 Nicki M: Vibes: I went to The Dan on a Thursday night for a first date; it was a great choice! The restaurant is moody, artsy, and quiet enough to have a real conversation. Side note: I usually keep my phone tucked away on dates; but when he pulled his out to take a pic of his dish, I took the opportunity to take one of mine (I waited until he went to the restroom to take a quick video. ha)! Food: I ordered the Chicken Francese; it was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. I enjoyed it very much! For my drink, I went with the Green Door. I love anything with ginger, and this cocktail really hit the spot! The pink cotton candy at the end was a nice finishing touch! So, if you’re wondering, the date didn’t lead to a happily ever after, but I’ll definitely be back to The Dan to check out their Happy Hour!
