A hip seafood spot with very reasonable prices! I loved the potato salad that came with the Mac and Sandwiches – it was sweet and also savory.
The Seafood Nachos were a perfect portion for me.
The Lobster Roll was pretty good as well. My other friend wasn’t too impressed with the Grouper Sandwich but the Seafood Mac and Cheese saved the day!

Ocean Ink is an awesome new addition to the Tampa food scene. Having lived in Tampa Heights, South Tampa, and now seminole heights, I’ve long felt Tampa needed more raw bars than just downtown. It did not disappoint; they have several options for seafood towers (already a huge plus in my book) that included Gulf, East, or West coast oyster selections. We got the East coast and they were excellent. A very pleasant surprise came due to the fact that the menu listed snowcrab for the the tower we chose, but we got stone crab instead – we totally forgot the season was just starting.
Every food item we tried was delicious, and the cocktails were good as well. The courtyard has a great vibe. I think my only critique would be that the indoor section of the restaurant could be nicer, and feature a display of the fresh seafood that they offer.

Ocean Ink Raw Bar was a whole vibe for our first visit
We bar hopped to celebrate Mr. @Omnipayusa Mr. Paul’s birthday and let’s just say… this won’t be our last stop. When we return, it’s definitely for the raw oysters and that clam chowder
Fresh seafood. Great energy. Birthday memories made.
We’ll be back for another round! ✨

Excellent food! We came during Happy Hour and had fresh oysters, jumbo peel and eat shrimp and a fish taco. The Manager brought us complementary chips and guacamole.The pricing was very reasonable and the happy hour pricing was a great deal! Cassandra was our waitress and provided very attentive service. Sorry I took the picture after we started eating.

Had a great time at happy hour. The service was great, everyone was very nice and the food was AMAZING. We ordered the oysters, the shrimp roll, guac and chips and the shrimp tacos, would definitely recommend all of them . Ben was super kind and made our experience truly a 10/10 experience. Would absolutely go again and will be recommending this place to people I know.

Great casual dinner with friends. Besides the bar seating, they have an open air seating area and a small indoor dining area. The food was fresh and tasted good. My friends enjoyed their oysters and clam chowder, I enjoyed the grouper tacos.

In town for an audio convention, wanted oysters and Ocean Ink was about six miles from the hotel. Made it there just in time to get their oyster special, $1.50 oysters from 3-6pm. Servers were great, very friendly and professional. Oysters came out fully shucked, even the little muscle that holds them to the shell, so they were easy to eat and super delicious…perfect size, good briny flavor. My buddy had a few mixed drinks that he said were superb. Five-star experience all the way. If I lived nearby I’d be a regular.

Went for happy hour last Friday and had a great experience! The bartenders were so friendly and welcoming. Me and my husband got oysters, peel and eat shrimp, and a shrimp roll. The food and atmosphere were great. We’ll definitely be back soon and we can’t wait to try a seafood tower!

Great casual spot in Ybor. All of the seafood was fresh and well prepared. Great Key West bar vibes, just in Ybor. Both the lobster roll and the clam chowder were as good as most places in Cape Cod. The happy hour prices were also really good. Certainly a welcome addition to Ybor.
