Honestly, it’s been a while since I’ve been to a restaurant that was as bad as this one. First of all, the interior was freezing. The menu was all over the place, with Asian, Indian, fish, and meat options, but no vegetarian options for the small plates at all. I tried the tofu warm ball with lemon teriyaki sauce, but it was terrible, so I had to switch it to red curry (what?). That ended up not doing well for my stomach or for any of the other three people who ate that sauce that night. The place was designed nicely, but other than that, I’ll probably won’t be going back.

Our server, Andrea, was fantastic. She has a very sweet personality and was always attentive. Her customer service was excellent, and she demonstrated great communication skills.
Also, all the food we tried was excellent

Very reasonably priced tapas. If you’re hungry or just need a light “snack” this is the place. Located in a strip mall that has all sorts of options for after dinner entertainment, drink or shopping. The sushi was amazing.

Definitely a must try. As soon as you walk in the class and beauty of the space is a feast for the eyes. The menu is extensive and extraordinary with small plates and bowls. Their dishes are influenced by their Laos traditions and reminiscent of a high end and refined Japanese menu. Mia was a delight and knowledgeable about all the dishes, cocktails, and pairings. We will definitely head back soon.

THIS is just what the Carrollwood area needed!!!! WOW! It’s really only the soft opening still, and this Asian inspired tapas restaurant hits on all levels. First, the atmosphere is amazing, very elegant but also fit for families. The outdoor patio was thoughtfully designed with a Florida vibe. The food is incredible. The smaller plates are great to choose 5-6 to share. From the spring rolls, crab empanadas, and sushi to bowls, this place is on it with service and quality. They have well crafted, unique cocktails that are delicious and well priced. I can’t believe this place isn’t officially open yet and they delivered on every aspect! The Golden Monkey Old Fashioned was fantastic!!

The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was absolutely top-notch — friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable without being overbearing.

But the real star of the show? The food. Every dish was a masterpiece — beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and made with clear attention to quality and detail.

I truly enjoyed my experience at PLATE Tapas Grill & Lounge! I went with my whole family on Friday night when they had a Havana night theme with live music outside. The food was sooo good and came out promptly and hot — reasonably priced. The vibe was super fun and enjoyable. The drinks were immaculate and the desserts were delectable! The servers and manager made us feel comfortable and accommodated from beginning to end. I will be back 100% — highly recommend!

I visited Plate Tapas Grill & Lounge solo on a Monday night during their soft opening, mostly out of curiosity and a bit of nostalgia. This space used to be Marlow’s, which I really enjoyed, so I was hoping Plate might live up to that standard—or at least come close. The bones of the layout are still familiar, but the space feels noticeably more modern and open. Mirrors line the walls, making the room feel bigger and brighter than it is, and the addition of fresh flowers and real plants at the tables was a thoughtful touch. The music was lively and the guests around me seemed genuinely happy to be there.

Service was strong right from the start. Martina, my server, was attentive, friendly, and clearly knew the menu well. I asked her to recommend a few standout small plates, and she steered me toward the spicy shrimp dumplings, roasted duck bun, roasted bacon oysters, and the Mexican roll. The dishes came out as they were ready, which gave the evening a nice flow. The dumplings were flavorful with a surprising little kick, served warm. The duck bun had bold, rich flavors in the filling, though the bun itself was a little cold and bland, which took away from it slightly. The roasted bacon oysters were served warm with spinach, bacon, lime, and cheese— the oysters were small, but all of the ingredients together were very tasty. The Mexican roll was fine, nothing exceptional, but decent enough, with most of the flavor coming from the sauce drizzled on top. I also had a Woodford Old Fashioned, which was beautifully presented and well-balanced—not too sweet, which I appreciated.

A few things could’ve been better. There were crumbs on the booth when I sat down, and the paper menus looked worn and crinkled from being reused. The glossy tabletops showed every bit of condensation and soy sauce, which is a personal pet peeve more than anything else. The bathrooms were clean but clearly done on a budget. Verizon service is still awful inside—something that’s been true since Marlow’s was here. It would be great if they offered guest Wi-Fi.

Still, the positives outweigh the quirks. Staff worked together well, checking in and clearing plates as a team. The entire experience felt coordinated and well-managed, especially for a soft opening. And more importantly, the food was creative, the vibe energetic, and the service leagues better than what I remember from this space’s previous iteration. It’s hard to say if it’s “better” than Marlow’s—it’s definitely different. But it’s its own thing, and it shows a lot of promise. I’ll absolutely be back.

We went on Sunday’s night, the attention was amazing, the place looks nice and clean, we liked the green touches everywhere. The food was ok, a lot of options, i was a little disappointed with the oysters, I felted like I was eating just bacon with salad, however, our sushi selections where delish and fresh. Probably will give another try. I will recommend maybe some easy-going music to activate the vibe, the place is beautiful,it just need some better vibe.
