It is a Tampa Icon with amazing Spanish food that has this amazing old world charm. The prices are more upscale and they take groups. They tend to fit up fast so i would either call them or look them up on OPEN TABLE to see what is available.

So there are a ton of high end steak places in Tampa. Out of all of them we love this place the best. The steaks are Prime level ( you have to ask at all steak restaurants because many of them serve choice level and not the top prime) . Their sides are the best and the desserts are absolutely amazing.

We love to bike or run on the river walk. It has great places to also sit and see the river and boats. Anchored on one end by Armature works and the other end by the history museum you can enjoy this four mile stroll.

This island is about one hour south of us and is filled with private beaches, great seafood restaurants and places to sit and enjoy the island life. It is the secret beach destination for many people in the Tampa Bay area because of its sugar sand and its low number of tourists compared to other beaches.
