Husband and wife Chef Owners Jason & Erin "Cricket" Borajkiewicz create a small menu changing two-three times a week. After working seasonally in Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Puerto Rico, and Charleston, the two chefs decided to put down roots in Jason's hometown.

With an ever changing menu, there's no telling what you'll have when you dine with us, but rest assured that you'll leave feeling restored

    Wouldn’t go if you have to sit at bar. It is really food prep area so loud and distracting and you have no server. They automatically add 20% service fee for anyone at bar so that tells you how bad the service is at bar. Food was good though very limited menu and expensive

    The Naan and gnocchi was unbelievable. Amazing layers of flavor. Halibut was cooked to perfection.

    We had a remarkable Valentine’s dining experience here. The chefs here are creative & talented & we were so happy to find a restaurant serving food like this in this area, as we have found these kind of choices to be lacking. Between the two of us we had the house made naan with liver pâté that was outstanding, the scallops starter, the sirloin and cod entrees & the most delicious goat cheesecake for dessert. Everything was cooked & seasoned to perfection and the presentation was on point. Table service was friendly and at a comfortable pace. Don’t let the location in the strip mall fool you- the food being created in this restaurant is as good as many fine dining places in big foodie cities. We will definitely be back Next time we will reserve for seating at the bar so we can watch these chefs in action. Bravo!👏🏻

    If you value quality and creativity over large selection this is your place. Small menu and everything was fantastic. Will be back!

    The Restorative is consistently at the top of all restaurants across Tampa Bay. The dishes are poetic. Sitting at the bar is highly recommended.

    We really enjoyed our dinner here, this was our first time dining and the experience and food was top notch. We liked sitting at the Bar and getting to watch the chefs prepare everything. We will be back! Also, the desserts were some of the best desserts I have ever had. I am dying for another goat cheesecake!

    Every bite of food my wife and I took was an experience. Can’t wait for another new selection of food next month. Going to be back every month at this rate. Ate at the bar and enjoyed talking with the Chefs. Can’t recommend this place enough.
