Tampa restaurant recommendations

Ulele is right on the river walk and does great food and drinks.

Bern’s is obligatory and not casual but is a great dinner to do at least once.

Cigar City is the big brewery that way and does great brews...I also like Cycle & Green Bench but those are over toward St Pete.

ETA: Noble Crust in St. Pete is some of the best pizza I’ve had

Ulele is decent. Columbia is ok. Bern's is solid, but expensive and you won't be able to get a seat.

Go check out the west tampa sandwich shop for some authentic cuban food. There are a lot of little hole in the wall places that are excellent -- just use yelp
