Metro Tampa - Dinner & Brunch?
Thanks all for the suggestions! We started the Saturday off with lunch at Columbia in Ybor City. A little touristy, but I have to admit the food was spot on for cuban food. The cuban sandwich and mojito was awesome. We did do Sidebern's for dinner, despite the mixed reviews here. The food was very nice - sophisticated and thoughtful. Each of us had a different entry to be able to survey the scene. The duck, lamb, tuna and halibut entress were all homeruns! Wine list was extensive. It was on the pricey side, but we saw this going into it. Circle's for brunch on Sunday was standard brunch menu fare. Menu did look better than food...but wasn't awful. Can't wait to head back to Tampa to try Ceviche & Pane Rustica. Thanks to all.
Metro Tampa - Dinner & Brunch?
Coming into Tampa for the weekend and don't have a lot of extra time - so focusing on two good meals Saturday Dinner and Sunday Brunch. Lived in Miami and Boston and consider ourselves "foodies". We've been to Tampa only once. We try hard to stay away from chain and hotel restaurants. After a little searching here, on open-table and yelp, we are considering Saturday dinner at SIDEBERN'S and Sunday brunch at CIRCLES. Yea? Nea? Any other suggestions? Appreciate the help.
