Best Restaurants with Bar Seating in Tampa

Our first visit was wonderful and our server Laura/Flor took great care of us. Both food and drinks were very good especially the octopus. We would return for another visit.

Such a great ambiance, make your reservation for the cellar. Great vibes, food, drinks, and service. Will definitely go back!

This is hands down the most complete restaurant in the Tampa Area. It is difficult to find the words to describe this dining experience….the food, service, ambience, music, bar drinks all melt together perfectly to create a perfect dining experience. All elements are 5 star but they humbly execute as if they have something to prove to their customers and you feel their appreciation for you through each of the elements that make up this amazing restaurant!

Meat Market is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you know you're in for a treat. The happy hour is fantastic – a perfect blend of delightful cocktails and an ambiance that's both vibrant and relaxing. **Ambiance:** The weather couldn't be better for sitting in the garden. Whether you're there for a casual hangout or a special occasion, the outdoor seating makes for an exceptional experience. **Drinks:** The cocktails are top-notch, crafted with precision and creativity. The happy hour menu offers a great selection, ensuring there's something for everyone. **Food:** The highlight, however, has to be the food. The tuna tartare nachos are a must-try; they're fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The king salmon roll is another standout, with its perfect balance of taste and texture. Both dishes are highly recommended and exemplify the quality and care put into the menu.

Exceptional Seafood Experience at Fisk Tampa! I had the pleasure of dining at Fisk Tampa recently, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! Each dish was expertly crafted, presenting a harmonious balance of flavors and textures. Standouts from my meal included: - Smoked Salmon Éclair: A creative twist on traditional éclairs, with rich, velvety salmon and subtle cream cheese notes. - Crab Salad With Pink Grapefruit: Fresh, succulent crab paired perfectly with the tangy sweetness of grapefruit. - Fisk Soup: A comforting, expertly prepared fish soup that warmed the soul. - Baba Au Rhum: Moist, fluffy rum-infused cake that melted in my mouth. - Raspberry: A sweet and refreshing palate cleanser. - Grilled Red Snapper: Cooked to perfection, with a crispy crust giving way to tender, flaky fish. The service was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly, adding to the overall exceptional dining experience. If you're a seafood lover like me, Fisk Tampa is an absolute must-visit destination! Reservations highly recommended! Will I return? Absolutely!
