Best Lunch Restaurants in Ybor City

First of all, the venue is stunning, and I love all of the different sections (candle making bar, shop/bookstore, coffee/deli area, champagne bar). Our waitress was amazing and every single thing we ate was amazing! We had the tea service and it was so cute and a vibe. The crudites with smoked fish dip was sooo good, and the chicken sandwhich was super juicy! Get there early enough for parking, but plan to stay a while to check out all of the different areas and take cute pics!

Everything was fresh, tasteful, and the vibes were right.

My friend and I tried Barterhouse for the the first time last week. Based on the website description, I thought it was not going to be the casual easy dining we were seeking. I was pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant atmosphere to be contemporary, comfortable, accommodating, and enjoyable. We were promptly and cheerfully greeted upon arrival and chose a table near the window. We ordered Skinny Margaritas that were exactly what we were looking for - fresh and tasty, but not too sweet. It took a long time to decide on food because there were so many choices that looked good. We finally decided on two small plates - Pimento Cheese with Johnny Cakes and a Fried Crab Balls (that's not what they were called, but I cannot remember the name). The Pimento Cheese and Johnny Cakes were outstanding. The cheese was rich, creamy, and very flavorful. The Johnny Cakes were a perfect light compliment to the Pimento Cheese. The crab bites were tender and full of crab. We were too full for dessert on the day we went. I will definitely be returning to try whatever rotating yummy offerings they will be serving on my next visit.

Flor Fina is a hidden gem of a restaurant, conveniently connected to the hotel. From the moment you walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a great experience. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and our waitress, Liv, was absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a wonderful dining experience.

I made a reservation for a retirement party and this went well. They hosted us very good. The ambience was amazing. The food was great. Everything was on point. I highly recommend this restaurant for any type of celebration.
