Best restaurants near me in Bowling Green, FL

I recently had the pleasure of dining with my favorite colleagues David & Brendan at the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere. The historic charm of the restaurant, with its beautiful Spanish tile and vibrant decor, set the perfect tone for the evening. The service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. We started with the famous "1915 Salad," which was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. We decided to indulge in a variety of Tapa's and it was a feast for the senses – perfectly seasoned with tender seafood, chicken, and empanadas. Every bite was incredible! The dessert, a classic "Flan," was the perfect end to the meal – creamy, sweet, and absolutely divine. The live music added a delightful touch, creating a festive, yet relaxed ambiance. Overall, the Columbia Restaurant exceeded all expectations. The combination of incredible food, attentive service, and the rich history of the place made for a dining experience that I will certainly be returning to. Highly recommend this gem in Ybor City!

Ulele never disappoints. The service was outstanding, and despite my reservation for three, they quickly accommodated our party of five with minimal wait time. The food was delicious, as always—flavorful and satisfying. Highly recommend for a great dining experience.

It was my boyfriend's first time to dine there. He thought it was too loud. I've acclimated.

Thanksgiving dinner at Eaglebrooke has become a tradition for the two of us. Food is very good. You can get a traditional Thanksgiving meal, or branch out and get something different. Many choices. We asked for, and got, a window table and our view overlooking the lake was wonderrful. Seating and service were prompt and attentive. While pricy, the prices are reasonable for such an occasion, much less expensive than the The Terrace, for example.
