    This is hands down the most complete restaurant in the Tampa Area. It is difficult to find the words to describe this dining experience….the food, service, ambience, music, bar drinks all melt together perfectly to create a perfect dining experience. All elements are 5 star but they humbly execute as if they have something to prove to their customers and you feel their appreciation for you through each of the elements that make up this amazing restaurant!

    We have dined at Hales Blackbrick in the past and found the experience quite enjoyable. This was our first time ordering the duck. Since you have to do it in advance, we were a bit skeptical about how the experience would be. I must say the food was excellently prepared, the presentation was spot on and the overall meal was exceptional. Highly recommend!

    Incredible dinner at one of the best Chinese restaurants we've dined in. Opted for outdoor dining, which probably would not do again - it's noisy and the furniture a bit awkward. Staff is warm, friendly, and accommodating. Soup Dumplings, Egg Roll, Shu Mai, Shrimp fried Rice, Peking Duck and S&P Shrimp ALL perfect 10's! Looks like I need to find more reasons to visit Tampa - the locals are quite fortunate to have Chef Hales back - we sure miss him in Miami!
