Nestled discreetly in Tampa, Florida, KOYA is a culinary sanctuary that redefines intimacy and excellence. Boasting a mere eight seats and the prestigious accolade of a Michelin star, this gastronomic haven offers an exclusive dining experience like no other.From the moment you step inside, you're enveloped in an aura of sophistication and warmth. The staff, with their unparalleled knowledge and impeccable service, guide you through a culinary journey that transcends mere dining.Our evening was elevated by the expertise of the sommelier, whose discerning palate and deep understanding of wine and sake elevated each course to new heights. The carefully curated pairings enhanced the flavors of each dish, creating a harmonious symphony of taste sensations that delighted the senses.The intimate setting allowed for a personal connection with the staff, who shared their passion and expertise with infectious enthusiasm. Every detail, from the intricately crafted dishes to the flawless execution of service, spoke volumes about the dedication and commitment of the entire team.KOYA's commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the dining experience. Each dish, meticulously prepared and plated with artistic flair, tells a story of innovation and passion. From the delicate king crab appetizer to the decadent foie gras and sublime UNI, every bite is a revelation.As we savored each course in the company of fellow gastronomes, it became clear that KOYA is not just a restaurant; it's a culinary pilgrimage for those seeking the epitome of fine dining. For anyone fortunate enough to secure a seat at this culinary oasis, prepare to be transported on a journey of unparalleled gastronomic delight.

Amazing food and presentation, but don’t go hungry. Left literally starving. Both the wife and I raided the fridge when we got home from our anniversary dinner totally ravenous. For that much money, you should leave

I was blown away by the food but….. We spent an a small fortune and were starved after. Food was top notch and service was amazing but I spent $1000 to leave and go get more food.

Listen. Koya has a Michelin Star (and they absolutely deserve it) so you don’t need me to tell you how incredible the food is. But let’s talk about the atmosphere and the service.Koya seats 8, maybe 9. This is an intimate affair. Every chef is incredibly knowledgeable about every dish, every ingredient, and every sake. The presentation is impeccable. Every dish is absolutely perfect. Not just the taste, but the presentation, the texture, the descriptions, and the drink pairings.Don’t treat your time at Koya like a regular meal. Treat it like an experience. Because that’s what it is. And it’s worth every penny.Parking: Easy parking. Plenty of spots.
Definitely Overpriced for what they offer they could do way

Such a great experience all around. Food is fantastic, and the interactions with the chef and staff, explaining the background of each dish, makes it that much better.
Really exceptional Omakase experience. Creative dishes well prepared and served. The only reason 5 stars weren’t given is their wine list and policy. Amazingly skimpy, ill matched wine list for the character (and price point) of the menu. Total mismatch. Ant they don’t allow for wine with corkage. Made for a tainted evening .

Koya’s accolades are more than deserved. As soon as you step foot in the restaurant, the feel of intimacy hits you. The small yet inviting interior shows the attention to detail. We were warmly greeted by each of the staff and chefs and were welcomed with a glass of champagne as we were celebrating.Eric and Adriana’s passion for food and experience is unmatched. We greatly appreciated the knowledge that they shared throughout our meal.The food was more than just that; it was an immersive experience from being able to watch the preparations, the smells, and of course the taste and presentation. Each course was meticulously thought through with complex yet simple flavor highlighting the ingredients.Though this was a special occasion, I can see ourselves back at Koya very soon!
