Fun atmosphere - all kinds of pirate/nautical kitsch. Large bar with two aquariums . Nice outdoor seating , too. Good prices. The Cuban pork is delicious.

Sunday brunch .... Awesome. The live music .... Superb. The crab legs were extremely yummy... All 5 plates of them! This place is a must!

Maggie MacG

Pulled pork tacos are tasty. Homemade pumpkin spice hot sauce was a surprise hit. Would order beans and rice without weird cheese sauce , but otherwise pleased with the food.

Warren Tausch

Enjoyed some great wings here today. My favorite bartender in all of Tampa was working today. Cute girl named Nicole. When at the Grotto be sure to see Nicole.

I'm not in love with cubans or sandwiches , but I'm in love with theit cuban sandwich .

Holly Meadows

Skip the calamari...it's over cooked. Skip the jerk chicken sandwich ...I'm not even sure what that was. Stick to the cuban sandwich if you have to go here. The waitstaff have room for improvement.

Ali Wisher

one of the cheapest bars around. Love the bartenders . Try Bosco 's breakfast shot.

Nathalie Guerrier

Gotta try the salmon salad !

tori

Service sucks. Yuca is tasty but the banana guava ketchup is missing the bananas&guava. Had to ask for utensils for our salad . Why do I need to go to the bar to get h2o? Because our server was M.I.A.

Brian Wilson

Rum and coffee

Tatiana Whited

Always pet friendly , but best day to bring them is 1st Sat of the month.

Maggie MacG
