Elevage

The menu at Elevage is inspired by the cooking tradition of the Bern Steak House across the street.

When we arrived at 7pm on a Wednesday, the dining room was less than half full. But seating at the bar was full.

We started with the Baked Oysters, which seemed to be really small portions. They featured a tangy bbq sauce.

For entrees, my dining partner loved the Grass Fed Smoked Short Rib and I went with the signature Homage to Bern's, which is a decadent sandwich with shaved beef tenderloin, caramelized onion and alpine cheese. The onion rings were a hit as well.

For sides, our server Michelle immediately recommended the Crispy Glazed Brussels Sprouts, which had already caught my attention. The Truffle Fries were excellent as well.

I thought our table for two was a tad too small. Also, the dining room can get noisy.

Michelle did a wonderful job serving us. I'd recommend her when you visit.

I was shocked to see my Hendricks and tonic cost $20!

Elevage is a fantastic place to go if you're in the spirit of having an ample sized breakfast- because if you're anything like myself, roBUSTING is your goal!! They serve New/Classic American food (duck, oysters, ribeyes, & octopus) etc. but on a contemporary level. Located inside the (1st. level past the art gallery ) of The Epicurean Hotel. This paired with the wine casings/tasting upon entry is what gave the restaurant a more opulent feel.

A reticent brunch for two if you will.

With the expansion of the hotel (across the street) I'm unsure if the menu has been revamped. Upon my last visit things were well & unchanged. Everything else as far as the service, the pricing, and decor was fine also.

The dinner menu consists of items such as burgers, grilled salmon, White Bean Casserole to pickled beets, & Buffalo Mozzarella Salad. I was visiting for brunch. My only qualm is that last time my pancakes were a bit dry. Other than that they have a fine breakfast menu dedicated servers and valet service along with a Tesla charging station.

Get into it!

I came here for brunch with my sister and her friends. We were in the area because of the Ed Sheeran concert the night before. Upon arrival it is a little difficult to find parking here, you either have to do street parking or you get valet. From what I remember, valet is complimentary so that was nice.

It is like walking through a hotel with a lot of artwork that is being bought, you have to walk through to get to the restaurant. It was pretty spacious with a good amount of seating.

We were greeted by our waiter and he was nice. The girls got their mimosas. My sister ordered the American Breakfast while I got the Chicken and Waffles. I was excited to try it because it came with a cheddar waffle! When I got it, I was underwhelmed. The chicken was nice and juicy but I should have asked for the sweet chili sauce on the side because it did overpower my dish. I couldn't quite taste the cheddar waffle.

I would probably come back if I was in the area but I would choose something else.

The is the spot with the best sandwich in Tampa. The homage to Berns is truly amazing. It's Bern's on a sandwich and everyone should have a chance to try this master piece. It is also a very cool spot in the epicurean hotel in south Tampa. The sandwich along is worth 5 stars.

My friend was in town, and I quickly met her for breakfast at Elevage. What a beautiful experience! The restaurant is located at the Epicurean hotel, and they offer complimentary valet parking. Everything from decor to staff to food was impeccable. We had the omelet, the French toast, and the acaí. Our server Christina was very attentive to our needs. I am not sure how I never knew about this place, but I need to come back again.

I was looking for a new happy hour location in Tampa, so I decided to try the SoHo neighborhood. Surprisingly, most places were closed for the 4th of July; but Elevage remained open.

Parking is attached to the hotel that's above the restaurant. Valet is complimentary. No one was outside, so we just parked on the 4th floor (above the valet area). It was fairly empty.

For the happy hour menu, I was was pleasantly surprised! The online menu says, rotating food options, with no items listed. However, they actually have several really good and reasonably priced selections (brisket quesadilla, wings, wines, spirits, etc).

We sat at the bar for HH. The bartender was very kind and prompt with service. She made excellent and non-watered down drinks. We also ordered a strawberry Moscow mule off of the regular drinks menu; delicious. The BBQ brisket quesdilla was well cooked, crispy then tender in all the right places.

The restaurant only had about 8-10 people dining, all in different areas. It gave a very romantic, chill vibe. Then we discovered that we could go to the rooftop bar upstairs and keep drinking!

Looking forward to coming back here for many "chill" evenings for a drink and appetizer. It's also a great date night option for dinner.

Made reservations at Élevage for my wife's birthday. Valet was popping when we pulled up. We were quickly attended to and made our way into the hotel to dine at Elevage. We were nicely greeted and shown to our seats. Everyone in our party remarked how much colder it was in the back dining area compared to the front of the restaurant. We bundled up and sat down. Our server came over and accommodated us by having the temperature adjusted (thank you) and taking my daughter's order and our appetizers. Due to the chill in the air, we picked the pumpkin soup (OMG AWESOME) and pork belly (delicious). Both appetizers were hot, nicely plated and had fresh ingredients. While the pork belly was good, the pumpkin soup is . We enjoyed the soup so much and highly recommend it. For our entrees we chose the Grass Fed Smoked Short Rib and Roasted Chilean Seabass. We waited a
solid 30 minutes between finishing our appetizers and receiving our entrees (server reported later that they were short staffed (minus a star)). When our entrees finally arrived, they were both very, very good. The Chilean seabass had a wonderful exterior texture and was served with a fig, sunchoke, turnip and pearl onions. The smoked short rib was just as good--hot and well seasoned--and served over mascarpone grits with bacon collard greens. We will securely be back and will most likely dine in the bar area.

Everything at Elevage is outstanding. Had breakfast here twice during my stay at the Hotel Epicurean. Which the hotel is also beyond 5 star.
My first breakfast I had a farmers omelet which was excellent. The funny thing was it came with a salad.
But man was I surprised that salad was really good at 7am. Fresh spring mix with pickled onions and different colored tomatoes. What made it superb was the dressing. Coffee was excellent service was above and beyond both times. 2nd day I had salmon toast with salad and Baked French toast. The French Toast was definitely original and amazing not overpowering but just right for breakfast. The other impressive thing I noticed " being a dude" I don't pay attention too much to this. Was the presentation of the food. I even took pictures. The waiter Damian was excellent both days. This hotel is #1 and most unique in Tampa. In a class by itself. Talking from experience here with over 1700 nights over the last 17 years with Marriott. This is a Marriott property. Great staff great location.

We have been here a few times always great but this experience has exceeded our expectations . Derek was a amazing bar tender if you want a perfect cosmo he executes it with elegance and expertise .
Jorge was our serve the day before at the pool and was attentive and provided excellent customer service for us . Though we have been here many times before this experience was elevated .

Great vibe. The ambiance is very aesthetically pleasing. Clean environment. We loved our server Sean or Shawn mot sure the correct spelling of his name.
