Restaurants near Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center

Ulele is a must for anyone visiting the Tampa area. Make your reservation on OpenTable ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ or you’ll have a long wait most of the time!. Walking around and to the restaurant is in itself a visual experience. We were greeted at checking in with a smile by the hostess and an “Your table is ready, please walk this way” had to be less than 3 shakes of a lambs tail. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Our server Kimberly came over quickly provide water and took our drink order. Before i could switch out my sunglasses for my eyeglasses we had 2 perfectly made dirty martinis on the table. These martinis were smooth not to dirty with 2 fresh olives. The taste was perfect….. or we would not have had 3 lol. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Order the dozen chargrilled oysters. $46.00 and well worth it, hell i was going to order another dozen… actually i should have. These are fire roasted see video chard to perfection with grated Parmesan and Roman cheese and not to mention the garlic butter sauce. “This gets my “Drop the Napkin, it’s so damn good” rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Go with the Blackened Gouda Grouper fresh vegetables and wild rice….. flavored to blackened perfection, i mean what doesn’t taste good with Gouda….. Seriously! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and yes… you really do want the Jalapeno Beer Corn Muffins… We were so full and satisfied we had no room for desert. But I’m sure it would be fabulous. The bill did not include an automatic 18 to 20 percent gratuity which in my opinion is the way it should be…. If the service and the food is good no one has an issue providing the proper gratuity.. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. When you make your culinary journey to this fabulous restaurant, tell me you just didn’t have one of the best dinning experience in ages…. The overall rating.. yep you guessed it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Haiku is a hip happening spot for a fun night with friends. Lots of noise though. Food is good.

One of the best experiences we have ever had without a doubt. When do you ever experience a Michelin star restaurant where the chef himself serves you, chats with you and describes his creations. As a background we are from Chicago, enjoyed several Michelin star restaurants there; enjoyed them without reservation. This experience was unique, because, to have chef Ebbe himself present the plates was beyond fascinating. The quality was well worth the price point… needless to say one of the best experiences we ever had. Courses were amazing and creative from beginning to end. Quality of every single course was superb… I dibble dabble in cuisine myself and I was able to see the passion he put in each course. Definitely we will recommend this restaurant to my friends “the foodies” I hope to return here soon… not only for the food but the atmosphere.

Friendly service - yummy fondue! Cheese and chocolate for dessert.
