Review The Wine Exchange Tampa - Tampa

The Wine Exchange in Hyde Park is a charming wine bar with an impressive selection of wines. The bar area up front is nicely set up, and there are additional seating options towards the back. The service was fantastic - our waitress was friendly and provided excellent suggestions from the menu. Whether you're planning a date night or an evening out with friends, this is an excellent option. I've visited a couple of times and always enjoyed just sitting at the bar to drink wine. On my latest visit, we decided to have dinner, and I must say, the food was absolutely delicious. We started with the Deviled Eggs, and they were so good that I would order again. For the main course, I had the Jerk Grilled Salmon with Mashed Potatoes and Mixed Vegetables. The Jamaican Banana butter complemented the dish nicely. I also appreciate that the restaurant offers different greens for side dishes. Overall, I highly recommend The Wine Exchange for an enjoyable wine and dining experience.

I'm going to go right into it... let's go ALL 5 of us left stuffed!!! I had the Cajun pasta with blackened shrimp and scallops, and 3 friends had Cajun pasta with blackened chicken. This dish is super good. The caramelized onions gave a great flavor to this dish. On a great scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 2, maybe 3. It wasn't spicy to me, just flavorful. It was the perfect Alfredo. They give you a lot of sauce. It was great for sopping up with bread. I had zero complaints with this dish. The other friend had Fusilli lemon chicken. I had a fork full, and I'm ready to go back so that I can have a plate all to myself! The flavor was light but full of sunshine. I really can't explain it. It was literally the most perfect balance of capers and lemon. Not shown is the cheese platter. Everything was so fresh. Especially the fruits. Omg, they have superb produce and ingredients. Everything was perfectly fresh and sweet. For dessert, there was coconut creme cake, some sort of lemon pound cake, and a chocolate bomb. I tried all 3. The coconut creme cake was very good and wasn't overpowered by coconut flavor. It was perfect and moist. I don't like lemon flavors desserts, but I tried it for y'all (seriously), and although I didn't care for it, everyone else did. I can say that the lemon flavor was light. I was actually able to take a bite and not spit it out! The cake was more fluffier than a pound cake, and the fruit surrounding the bowl was so freaking fresh and gooood. The chocolate bomb was really good. It's a layer of thin chocolate cake on the bottom, then mousse, cover with chocolate ganache (I hope I spelled it right, if not, it's a hard chocolate shell people 😆) of the 3 desserts, this one was my favorite! YALL... I'M SO STUFFED RIGHT NOW!!!! All of the drinks/ wine were great. The restaurant/ restroom was very clean. The ambiance in the restaurant was great. The music was good and was being played faintly in the background. It's the perfect place for date night. The prices are spot on! Last but not least. To top the night off... CHAD... our waiter was great. So friendly and personable. Please ask for him and tip him well bc that's my new friend in my head! Just a nice and genuine person. My only issue was the front door. As soon as I walked in, I was like, "Oh, this isn't wheelchair friendly." But, I think there may be an entrance on the patio, which would be perfect bc a wheelchair could be maneuvered out there better, i feel. The place is a tad narrow. All in all, I'm definitely going back in a few weeks to take my family! Hell, I may go by myself before then. Happy eating!!! 03/25/2023 Went tonight as their last day open is tomorrow. Again, everything was amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Mark. He is such a beautiful soul. I'm truly saddened that they will be closing. I feel like I found a hidden gem, and now it's being taken away.

My mom and I came here to celebrate booking the florist for my wedding. The salads are phenomenal and the service was spectacular. Thank you Hannah for taking such great care of us!

Great spot for a business lunch or catching up with friends. The servers give you plenty of space to chat and hangout without rushing you. The pizza 🍕 was delicious and the cheese 🧀 tasted high quality! Excellent place for the price! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a great meal. Best chicken Marsalis we have had in a long time. The quesadilla was full of flavor and very fresh. A place we will return too. The waitress Hanna was so much fun to have working with us. She was a true delight.

The red sangria was pretty good and there is a really nice brunch menu with $8 drinks. Most food items are $15+ and the wine selection is not what I expected as it was just 1 page of pretty limited options. I ordered a Ceasar Salad and it was fresh. For the area and all the competition, I was a little underwhelmed. I sat outside with my dogs and waited 25 minutes for someone to greet me before I asked if someone could serve me. It seemed very disorganized and I was told to check inside instead. There wasn't a sign to do so and I have 2 dogs, so how was I supposed to go inside with animals. Once I was able to order, the girl was nice but my salad came out 5 minutes before my sangria. It just seems like at 1pm on a Sunday, they need better management to provide better customer service. I couldn't imagine coming here on a busy night.

Good food, drinks, and atmosphere. Little pricey even during happy hour. They do not do wine flights. Would enjoy going back and trying some more of their food options

This is my 5th time and it doesn’t disappoint! Amazing food. Our server, Bert, was very informative and gracious. Food was incredible. We ate until we needed to be rolled out. Coming back again for sure!

My friend got the Gnocchi Porky and I got the Neapolitan. Everything was absolutely delicious! Our server was Jacob Z, they were very kind to check in frequently and to refill our water. Will be coming back! ☺️

Nice chill place! Loved the spicy mussels appetizer. I like that i didnt feel pressured to leave. Nice place to hangout with people. Loved the look inside and the outdoor sitting. Love the vibes. They have a.wide selection of alcoholic drinks. Not so much on the food. My mom loved her seared ahi tuna appetizer and i guess you can turn it into a meal by having the option to add rice

Nice place for having dinner or drinks. Nice location. It has outside dining available. Inside there is not that much space. You can have a seat at a bar. They have good food. The last time I was there, we had a couple of cocktails and a cheese plate. This is an amazing option for people who wants to chill with their friends after a long hard day. Besides wines, they have other cocktails. All of them are refreshing. I ordered a drink with a lemon taste and it was great! I love the way they serve food and drinks.

We randomly stopped here while visiting Hyde Park recently. My partner had the veggie burger and I had the scallops in a wine sauce with mushrooms. Both dishes were fresh and very tasty! The service pleasant and attentive. Very nice...thank you!

This is a nice quiet lunch location. The food is decent. I had the chicken salad salad, there is a great dressing…ask for extra! The dessert was lovely.
