Bar Fly Safety Harbor

★★★★☆ 4.2 (807) • $$

"I finally tried this place out after seeing it while walking around safety harbor. I stopped by during happy hour and ordered drinks and tuna nachos. The tuna nachos were really good, the chips were crunchy, and the tuna and sauces were super flavorful. It was a bit pricey, but the large portion and flavor made up for it. They also have live music in the evenings, which made the experience even better. I will definitely come back again!"

Fresco's Waterfront Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.8 (920) • $$

"Checking in was a little iffy with the hostess lack of customer service and smile...but the vibe quickly got turned around when we found open seating for us and the dogs! We were instantly treated like family and the dogs were immediately provided cold water and treats. The food was down right AMAZING! A little pricy but I promise you it's worth it. This is my new Sunday brunch spot for sure. Would love to work myself through their menu eventually hehe"

Frenchys Outpost Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (727) • $$

"Honestly an amazing little Frenchies bar and grill, run and owned by the same people that have serviced the Tampa area 4 years on years! The staff here was insanely friendly and we're very attentive. We were able to walk across the street because we were staying at the hotel right next door. They have some very good drink specials and happy hour snacks. I decided to get a beer, some of the amazing fish dip and a fish sandwich for dinner. The beer was ice cold and served all the way to the top with a very thin head, one of the best pores of beer I've had in a while! The fish dip was just the right amount of fish flavor and was served nice and cold. My favorite thing about this dip is that they don't use too much Mayo and it doesn't take away any of the flavor. It is a very light fish flavor but I do wish you get a little more for the price you're paying. The fish sandwich is the thing I will get no matter what! It is always fried to perfection or blackened depending on what you order. It is a nice size piece of fish and I love the bread that it comes on, the bread always being the perfect amount of breading to fish ratio! My brother got a frozen Daiquiri drink and it was honestly one of the most refreshing drinks I've had. You can really taste the alcohol in this thing and after a couple, you will definitely feel it! Some amazing staff, great food and drinks and some pretty decent prices will get me to come back here every time I am in the area!"

Mystic Fish Seafood Grill & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (583) • $$$

"Once again Mystic Fish did not disappoint. We were seated on time for our 6PM reservation. Our friend Bruce was celebrating his birthday, and so was I! Tonya was a fabulous waitress. She took our drink orders & quickly returned with what we ordered. She gave us time to catch up with each other, and look over the menu, before she returned to take our dinner selections. Everything was cooked properly and tasted divine. Husband had the short ribs and mashed potatoes, and I had the Mahi with asparagus & mashed potatoes. Our friends had Hogfish and another fish and neither left anything on their plates! Tonya brought Bruce & me two small dessert selections with a candle in just one of the two. No embarrassing song or fuss. Bruce got the crème brûlée and brownie. I had a key lime pie and cobbler. We each enjoyed what we got. So sinfully delicious. We will be back, and hope to try a different entree when we return!"

Due Amici Pizza & Pasta Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (591) • $$

"I'm late to the party but we had to check out this late night Ybor stalwart based on the recommendation of our uber driver in New York City, believe it or not! We popped in for a to go order on a late Thursday afternoon and Chris kindly helped out and recommended pizza slice types, at my request, since there were so many to choose from. Thanks Chris! The stuffed pizza was huge, filling and delicious!We also got a calzone, which Chris made fresh on the spot, and a spaghetti and meatballs because, why not? The kitchen is open and they apparently crank out their own pasta using a massive red Hobart mixer!The style and the vibe are casual with a few folks eating in and most getting to go. Life is good with excellent pizza, calzone and pasta served up with a smile!"

Hula Bay Club

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (932) • $$

"Surprised it got such low ratings! I thought the food, service, and atmosphere were 10/10 overall. Came here on a Sunday and we were able to sit by the water and they had live music! I was able to bring my dog too. I will definitely be back here. What I ordered: - Local Smoked Fish Dip- Spicy Tuna Nachos: Tuna poke, pickled jalapeño and habanero tobiko over wonton chips with wasabi aioli and kabayaki. - Mussels: Black mussels sautéed in wine, garlic, onion, tomato, herbs and lemon butter sauce. Served with cheese bread. - Crunch Grouper NuggetsFresh grouper dipped in beer and rolled in crunched corn flakes, served with key lime tartar. - The Wedge: Crisp iceberg with crumbled applewood bacon, plum tomato slices and Duke's double cheese dressing. - Shrimp Tempura: Crisp shrimp, volcano sauce, avocado and smelt roe."

The Island Grille & Raw Bar

★★★★☆ 3.7 (669) • $$

"Yummy, we started with ceviche and chips which went quickly. Our meals quickly followed and were fantastic. I had salmon with sweet potato mash and asparagus. I can't recall what my co-worker had but cleaned his plate quickly. The staff was very friendly and greatly informative to aid us in our selections. We sat on the patio with fans which made it a very enjoyable meal."

Ford's Garage Lakeland

★★★★☆ 3.9 (547) • $$

"Good service, casual environment and tasty food.Although not especially convenient to get to, it's surrounded by so many businesses that once you've gotten 1,000 things from the Target next door (and you only needed 4 things, tops), you can stop by for a quick lunch and/or some adult beverages."

Thai Prime Kitchen & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.8 (525) • $$

"What a great experience.. beautiful decor, friendly staff, wonderful food! A happy hour daily from 3:30 to 7:00pm, lots of options! We had spicy edamame, crispy pork belly, egg rolls, and dumplings for the table. Everything was delicious.I ordered the Ma La Shrimp (Hot & Numbing) ... variety of veggies - red/green peppers, lotus root, onion, Brussels Sprouts, etc. with several lightly battered and fried shrimp. Loved each and every bite. I will absolutely return when I come back to town!"

"Love our local restaurants, and this one is a gem!! We sat in the patio area and had some tasty oysters, some yummy alligator bites, and a nice salad to complement our meal. Topped off with a delish pumpkin ale and it was pretty solid Sunday. We've been here before, and we'll be here again. Take it from the locals, this spot won't disappoint"

Acropolis Greek Taverna

★★★★☆ 3.7 (495) • $$

"The food is amazing, the venue as ambiance are so amazing and beautiful this feels like an upscale restaurant without the upscale prices. The mussels left a lot to be desired, but the Athenian Salad and the calamari were AMAZING! This is the BEST salad! I'll come here more often! Our server was also very attentive and kept it fun and light. Happy hour with half price appetizers is a steal. Go!"

The Birch & Vine

★★★★☆ 3.6 (503) • $$$

"Haven't been to the restaurant part in a while so thought I would update my review. Got a table outside up on the little area outside the main dining room. Not on the sidewalk. Server was great and very attentive. Lots of great sound options with specials as well. We started with a small soup and wedge to share. The wedge salad was plenty for one or share. The Black Garlic Mushroom Tea Bisque. So delicious and deep flavors. For mains I got the special spicy pepper steak with artichoke rice. So good! Cooked perfectly and the risotto was so good. The $50 price tag was a bit steep but it was well prepared perfectly. Deb had the White Bolognese. So many great flavors. This was nice. All our cocktails were really good and great choices for wine. Reasonably priced. Overall a really good dinner, great ambiance and great service."

La Casa Della Pasta

★★★★☆ 4.2 (359) • $$

"This definitely one of my favorites Italian restaurants in the TAMPA Their serves are so friendly and attentives, they have a good location with enough parking, the place is so clean and quiet. If you are Lasagna team you have to try this one, it's crazy. And for Carbonara teams like me, this is my favorite with a lot of cheese of course. I'll be back soon, obviously."

Teak

★★★★☆ 3.5 (514) • $$

"Teak sits on the 3rd floor of the St. Pete Pier. We had quite a long walk to the restaurant as we could not find parking closer. Keep in mind shuttle service is offered at certain points along the way. We happen to pick a very busy holiday weekend so we ended up getting our exercise in. What awaits you once you arrive are floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the bay. It is absolutely beautiful. The interior is lovely too. We were seated immediately with a reservation for lunch. Service was good as the waitstaff staff was extremely attentive. We started off with the popcorn coconut shrimp which was OK, however not a re-order. We also ordered the fish spread for the table. It was quite heavy on the mayo and not a reorder either. For lunch we ordered a grouper sandwich which was just OK. I believe the bread to fish ratio was off. One person got a breakfast, which was fine. My daughter got the fish and chips which she seemed to enjoy. I ordered the Cobb salad with grouper, which was OK too. That's just it everything was just OK. Nothing was great. So you are getting stunning five star views with 3.5 food, in my opinion. I would come back to give them another chance. The view is worth it alone. On the roof you will find Pier Teaki with comfortable seating, cocktails and a limited menu."

Ovation Bistro & Bar

★★★★☆ 4 (373) • $$

"From the outside, not sure what to expect as in the middle of a strip mall. Inside, the decor was nice. We had a great waitress that explained things well. The food was really good. I had brisket and ribs combo that was really tasty. We had a bowl of tomato basil soup that was also good."

Cracker's Bar & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3 (658) • $$

"We went to this restaurant after my sisters funeral and I was so hungry. I ordered pancakes and eggs with bacon. The 3 ladies with me ordered steak and potatoes and I have to say there wasn't one thing wrong with everything. They were all very delicious. Great waiters too. So I will be giving them a 5 star because they earned it."

Angry Pepper Waterside

★★★★☆ 3.8 (406) • $$

"Really enjoyed the food here! The staff was super friendly, and it was verrrry busy on a Friday evening so we took the last 2 seats at the bar. My friend loves their pulled pork, so we split the pulled pork sliders and he got wings too. The dry rubbed smoked wings were really tasty, and I love when wings aren't greasy. The fries were nice and crispy, and you can't really go wrong with waffle fries! I liked the pulled pork a lot! Their sweet bbq sauce was delicious. Really zero complaints. Prices aren't crazy either. Solid spot for elevated bar food. Bathroom was a little questionable, but once again it was a really busy Friday night."

Surfside Taphouse

★★★★☆ 3.6 (411) • $$

"Arrived here with a group of friends about 8 PM, we were fortunate to get the high top to the right of the entrance which is absolutely the prime spot, the open air setting came with a nice breeze, a great view of the street and an elevated view of the interior of the bar and right next to the small stage. Our primary server was Kelce who was amazing all night but really the entire staff here went above and beyond. We ordered a few buckets of beers, I think everyone enjoyed a few crafted cocktails and we also partook in a number of shots before ordering several appetizers and a few orders of their delicious wings.This was our last outing together after a week of conference meetings so everyone was excited to wrap up the week and head home, but not before having a night out on the town. Everyone loved the food and thought the service was outstanding so we settled in for some great conversation and toasted to a great week just as the entertainment started and let me tell you this guy rocked it with selections across all genres - this place on this night was awesome..."

Carmine's Restaurant and Bar

★★★☆☆ 3 (585) • $$

"When Ybor City you gotta have a Cuban Sandwich! We found Carmine's. The place has history. Is huge with a comfortable bar.We bellied up starving and thirsty. We waited and waited. Finally the bartender stopped by and dropped menus turned on his heels and he was off to win the came to continue a conversation with bar patrons. No offer of drinks just menus. So we waited again.. finally another stop. We each ordered local beers and then he forgot to pour as he was off to see the bar patrons. A glance caused him to remember.. finally beers. Seizing the moment we each ordered their famous Cuban Sandwich.The sandwich arrived and did not disappoint however the prep time was long and our beers were getting low. The bar patrons were getting louder and the bartender was an instigator. So no 2nd beers for us.3 stars for food1 star for food runner0stars for bartender"

Rick's On the River

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (533) • $$

"Not likely to return.We've lunch there yesterday - Saturday.The location is great, on the Hillsborough River, with plenty boat slips at 1:30pm.It has indoor and covered outdoor areas. We sat out. All tables are for max 8 people, benches with no back support.The service is slow, both drinks and food - got our food exactly an hour later. Our girl is gracious and lovely. The few waiting staff I saw, are young girls who wear tight outfit (not unifform). I would expect them to be sporty but instead, I feel lifeless. I yielded to a tall girl after bathroom. She opened the door and just left. Ok, maybe she was juggling two drinks on the tray ... I would use my body to hold the door for the next person IF my hands are occupied ...The foods: average bar food. I've Little Neck clams, the two pieces of toast are delicious. Chicken wrap is good.As we were leaving, a band came to set it up. One member wore a Brookly NY leather jacket honoring the fallen heroes on Veterans Dat. I asked him if he was from Bly and he replied a big YES -:). Then asked me if I'm from Thailand or Philippine. I replied, Africa."Really?"Really sir.Thanks for these who have served."

BellaBrava - Tampa

★★★★☆ 4.3 (276) • $$

"Has it only been 12 days since I've seen you, Bella Brava? That's too long!! Your cozy ambiance, friendly service, hot honey pizza and $19.99 bottomless brunch time mimosas are calling me home. (And I could go for another blueberry Prosecco martini-or four) What a gem this spot is. It's located in Midtown, the mixed use retail, dining, lodging and residential space that's sprung up at the southeast corner of Dale Mabry and I-275 in the past couple of years. You park your car in the free covered, multi-story garage and then easily stroll through the development. Bella Brava is perched just off the "town square" area and is appetizing from outside in. I've been twice in two months-both times with groups-and both times we've been seated right by the viewable kitchen. It's a great spot, near the bar, with very comfy seating. The whole place is warm and inviting, modern but cozy. The hostess both times had been friendly and welcoming and the vibe is breezy and comfy. It's dressy enough for date night, trendy enough for co-worker gatherings and casual enough for families. And then, there's the menu! So many Italian favorites-Tuscan inspired and with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. I was hooked on the hot honey pepperoni pizza after one bite on visit #1-so I ordered it on visit #2. It was just as gorgeous and yummy. Cooked in a wood stone oven, with delish crispy edges, the pie is big enough to share, but by golly, I hogged it all to myself. (Well, I took some home with me-with a take out ramekin of their hot honey!) Clearly, I'm hooked! I need to come back and work my way through the menu-everything my friends ordered, both times, looked great (one of them swears by the short rib ragu) but I don't know how I can stray from the hhpp. It's an obsession!' The wine list is large, but I haven't explored it yet. Both times we've been here at brunch and enjoyed craft cocktails and bottomless mimosas. (Such a deal on the latter!) I've heard there's a long and great happy hour here. I'll come back for that, too. Both times we've had attentive and kind servers-really top notch. That takes the experience to a whole other level. Bravo, Brava! Can't wait to come back. Is tomorrow too soon?"

Señor Tequila Mexican Restaurant - Tampa

★★★★☆ 3.7 (370) • $$

"Visited this place once years ago before I was in Yelp and couldn't remember whether we liked it or not. So we tried it last night. The restaurant is tucked away in a small shopping center and is easily missed. The restaurant looks great with plenty of seating for large and small groups and outdoor and indoor seating available. We were seated immediately with a large menu put in front of us. We put in our order and waited. The chips and salsa were nice and tasted fresh. Then our meals came. I ordered a shrimp dish cooked in tomato,onion and garlic sauce. The shrimp tasted fishy and tough like after being frozen for too long they overcooked them. The wife got chili relano and it was soggy and tasteless. She also ordered a toastata and it was cold. Not just room temperature but like refrigerated cold. With so many good Mexican restaurants in the area this is one that I won't miss. If you have seen many of my reviews I rarely write bad reviews but I can't find anything about this place that I would recommend for anyone else and I certainly won't be coming back."

Counter Culture

★★★★☆ 3.9 (306) • $$

"This place is a great place to go for brunch in the Tampa Bay Area! You get some great views, great vibes, but also some great food. The unique thing is you can get a set menu brunch meal, which is not something you see often. I started off with the Pork Belly and Brussels Sprouts starter which was delicious. Tender pieces of pork belly, runny egg yolk, and delicious sauce. For the main, it was a seared branzino with fried polenta cake. Loved the use of the citrus and pistachio dressing. Finally, dessert was a blondie with caramel sauce. Excellent without being overly sweet. All in all, great spot with great food and service. Parking can be tough on a busy weekend, but it is worth coming here :)"

The Sail

"Great outdoor bar and dance area outside the conference center. It's coincidently located near the river walk and several your boats. I had the pina colada they sever a variety of alcoholic beverages. Staff were attentive and DJ was awesome. He played several throw backs. The crowd is mid 30s +. It's super chill. You eat dance and relax. I recommend and hope to return. Hope you enjoy as much as I did."

Jerry’s Dockside Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (227) • $$

"What a beautiful spot right on the water! Who doesn't want to enjoy there meal while watching the sunset view dockside?. This was our first time at Jerry's Dockside and I can say we will definitely be back. It's was nice for us and the kids. We got a flatbread for starters, it's pretty much a thin crust pizza the flavor is okay the sauce could be better but the kids enjoyed it. Now the bacon cheeseburger was good a little over cooked and needed more seasoning but the bacon was crisp. Would try again . Now the star of the show was the Blackened Grouper Sandwich oh my goodness... it's tasted amazing the seasoning was perfect and the size highly recommend!"
