Great find in Seminole Heights. I loved the variety and the menu. So many great Japanese and American options. Sandwiches are big and the Japanese entree options are also a great size. We ordered the steak sandwiches and the Japanese Curry. All very good!
Service was provided by one of the owners and he was so courteous and attentive. We enjoyed learning more about his business and the story behind the menu.
Ambiance is very casual and the restaurant is more of a tiny local hole-in-the-wall gem, but well-decorated despite its simplicity. A really good spot for lunch in the area.
We’re coming back 🙂

Thought I’d reviewed this place before but apparently I haven’t. Been here a few times for lunch, happy hour, and dinner, and it’s always phenomenal. The chef is from Japan and it shows in the quality, taste, and authenticity. Combine that with a killer eclectic beer selection and an awesome fusion menu and you won’t find anything like it in all of Tampa. It’s easily one of the most unique restaurants one can find here.

Couldn’t recommend it higher!

One of the best if not the best bistro I’ve been to in a long time. Very cozy out of the way place. Strictly word of mouth type of place and it’s worth it. The Chef/ owner is amazing with the dishes. I highly recommend you go here and experience this place. I had a great time and the food was fabulous. One of the few places that has a sushi chef all the way from Japan who makes to die for sushi. Man just go check them out you won’t be sorry ❤️

Tiffany with Offline – My first time visiting Old Heights Bistro, located in the heart of Seminole Heights was a delight. This cozy gem, made for a warm welcoming vibe. John was very pleasant and attentive which I loved. I started with a house made red sangria which in my opinion the best I’ve ever tasted. You can tell it was thoughtfully curated. For my dish, I chose the spicy tuna and salmon bowl with rice, scallions, wasabi and it was filling, delicious and refreshing. I can’t wait to come back to try other things on the menu. I would highly recommend!!!!

What a warm, cozy, inviting Bistro this is! Robert who greeted us like old family friends was hysterically funny, informative, and absolutely magical! He asked if we wanted our dreams to come true. We new we were home after that.Yes! Great vibes, fabulous bar selection, good food for every type of palate, sandwiches from Caprese to Turkey, plates with truffle infused buratta to chicken Marsala, and fresh sushi. I love ❤️ this place, the food, the chefs, the people. This was a quaint bistro without the pretentious frills. So excited to come back!

Eating at the Olde Heights Bistro was a truly life-affirming experience. The sushi was phenomenal, the service impeccable, the general atmosphere – good as it gets. I give my compliments to the chef/owner, the legendary sushi master, lovely Lauren behind the bar, and the friendly guests we shared the bar with. 10/10 would recommend. Leaving the restaurant with a happy, full belly and a reminder of what life is really about!! Thank you!! ❤️

Great establishment with amazing food; large portions, and friendly staff. Phil, the owner, went above and beyond for our group, as well as everyone else in the restaurant.
We ordered a few sushi rolls, gyozas, spring rolls, shrimp scampi, chicken parm sandwich, and a grilled cheese – everything was phenomenal! Will definitely be back when in town again.
