Inspired by the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and Hotel Floridan’s original Sapphire Lounge, a new restaurant comes to Tampa Bay as a modern take on old-school speakeasies. You’ll soon be lounging with a cocktail in your hand and feasting on Gulf Coast cuisine while jazz music and our smooth, sophisticated ambiance take you back in time.

We can’t wait for you to dine at The Dan

They have a great Instagram which made me decide to pick this restaurant. Bummed we were only allowed to choose off of a valentine menu * should have been told when booking No music- totally killed the vibe. When we asked the server he said “ I think it’s broken” a place like this should be innovative use a Bluetooth speaker 🤷🏻‍♀️ Overtake food was good just not sure I would go back

Four of us had a very good Valentine's meal at The Dan. The Sea Bass was especially good, thick and juicy with a nice citrus sauce. Our server, Heath, was very attentive and professional. The decor is very cozy with some of the best lighting we've seen in a restaurant. We really appreciated the manager taking time to stop by our table to make sure we had a good experience. We definitely will recommend to others.

$10 parking in hotel lot. 10 minutes after seating before waiter took drink order. REALLY noisey in the restaurant. Very hard to hear each other (table of 4) talk. Air conditioning blasting cold. Drinks excessively priced. Waiter could not describe =explain the main/entrees in the menu. Drinks excessively pricey. We will not be back.

Well crafted cocktails in a stylish dining room. On the Friday night we visited, an excellent Jazz singer provided a background to very good food selections. Our table enjoyed the beef short rib, the scallops on corn risotto (excellent) and a pasta (beggars purse) which had good flavor but a slightly thin sauce. Service was spot on with our waiter and drinks and food arrived with good timing. We will return.
