   Without a doubt the best restaurant in Tampa. Where is their star?? They clearly deserve Tampa's first 2 start if not 3.

   This is our first time eating at Hale’s, let me give you a rundown of what we ordered. First of all we got the tower of steamed dumplings and the pot stickers all of which were very dry. They did come with dipping sauces but unfortunately, the dipping sauces were extremely salty. Then we received four egg rolls, which were very greasy to start off and filled with a strange kind of meat and green beans my rating on those would’ve been a two out of 10 . Then they brought us the lamb dumplings and the lamb noodles which were extremely spicy . We were absolutely unable to eat them due to the spice content about the same time we got the Dan, Dan noodles and the fried truffle rice, which were both good. We also ordered the $200 tomahawk steak, medium rare It was more medium well done and was topped with a very sweet and salty sauce. We were not aware of when we ordered it. Which we would’ve asked for the sauce on the side. One of the worst, saltiest meals I have ever had. Extremely disappointed and upset. All in all in the end we spent $720 with tip which is outrageous for a dinner for four. We could’ve gone to Bern’s steakhouse. Not worth the huge bill. Would not recommend or return.

   Hello Julie. Although we do not believe the food quality was as poor as stated, we are Grateful for your visit. It is your opinion, which you are entitled too. However, we would like to point out that you ordered martinis, non-alcoholic beverages, 7 appetizers, 7 entrees, and 1 dessert for 4 guests. Also, some of the items you chose are typically considered expensive, such as a 40 oz tomahawk, white truffle noodles, and lamb chops; in addition to a more than average amount of food. Your food and beverage bill was $564 before tax and tip. Your order per person was 56% higher than our average guest. We point this out because your review is not only inflammatory but certainly misleading,due to the excessive order.Please contact taylor@halesblackbrick if more clarification is needed.Thanks!

   Excellent Asian food! You can tell Chef Hales puts a lot of pride and thought into his dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious. Highly recommend! The decor and ambience was very relaxing as well. All of the staff was super gracious and kind. We will definitely be back!

   Very expensive for what we had. Once time to Hyde Park place and enjoyed the look and service but over $200 and we only had one entree.

   We went for an early dinner at a friend‘s recommendation. Everything was luscious. The space is fun, though I will bet that it is noisier once it fills up. Staff and service was exceptional.

    Outstanding as always. Highly recommend the tomahawk steak along with the cauliflower. Both cooked to perfection. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu at this place, but those two stood out the most. Cocktails we’re also excellent.
