I ate at Armani's last night and it was the best meal I had in a long time. The food was superb and full of surprises. I ordered the seabass and the server poured the sauce at the table (nice touch) Everything we consumed was of the highest quality and it sure rectifies the prices charged. My wife had the lamb and again, this dish has also a surprise element build in. (The sauce comes in a french press and is pressed at your table!) I have been living here in Tampa over 8 years and this restaurant used to have a boring and overwelming menu. Now it is exciting, tasty and of the highest quality ingredients. I was most impressed by their new bread and olive oil presentation. You start your meal with stunning olive oil and aged balsamic vingar. They also hand out small chunks of real parmesano reggiano! To die for, I could have just had this all night. Leave yourself some room for dessert though, because the blueberry goat cheese strudel is stellar. If the service wouldn't be so stuffy, I would go more often.
Pros: Menu, view and food quality
Cons: service too old fashioned

The view alone is a good enough reason to dine at Oystercatcher's. When I went I sat outside and watched the sunset on their beautiful patio and was lucky enough to see dolphins, it was breathtaking. There Calamari fries are amazing, and are by far the best around town. They also have this cocktail called The Floridian, as well as a mango mojito which are both fantastic and all of the bartenders are very friendly and know how to make a great martini. I have dined by myself and have also brought in large parties and have only had superb dining experiences. I also noticed that the manager on duty was making table visits to make sure her guests were completely satisfied, and the wait staff is always very professional and friendly. This is a great place to relax and entertain and I suggest everyone go to enjoy a cocktail and see the sunset!!
Pros: View, Service, health conscious

I took my fiance in for his birthday this evening, he's a big football fan. I was surprised to see everything has changed. Everything is lighter and brighter and seems a lot bigger. The wood floors look great. I was also really surprised to see they've changed their menu (thank god). I had the petit filet and he had the porterhouse. Everything was still gigantic and well worth the pricey receipt put down at the end of the dinner ($200 for two people to have two four course meals including dessert, several drinks and tip). He had a really great time and I was surprised to see he liked the new decor as well. Our servers Jim and Shawn were fantastic and I would ask for them again and recommend them to any of my friends and family. Two things you have to try: the crab cake appetizer and the lobster mashed potatoes. The lava cake was the perfect ending. They really did a great job and I will continue to tell people all about it!
Pros: Great new menu items, fast friendly service
Cons: A little pricey but worth every penny.

The Big Cat Rescue is a great place to take children of all ages. The atmosphere is really like a jungle and the animals are clean and well fed. The staff are very nice and the donation is a fair amount considering what the donation is going for. You will leave the Big Cat Rescue with a good feeling knowing that there are people who truely care about neglected animals.

Right in the middle of all historic Ybor has to offer! Staff was amazing, One of the owners, Tessa is a such a vibrant character who truely cares about each and every guest. We caused a bit of a rush on the front desk as we were holding an event there and had a bunch of family checking in at once but the new desk clerk worked it like a pro! She was friendly and curtious and didn't break a sweat. Our reception was beautiful and I would recommend anyone to have any type of event there. The rooms were great and breakfast was included. I plan to go back when I celebrate my 1st anniversary.
Pros: In the center of all the attractions.
Cons: No ammenities such as a pool or gym.

Kids city is a great place for kids. Not only is it fun for them but it is also educational. They have free parking which is a bonus. I know that when I bring my kids here that they will come out learning something new. The price of admission is so cheap as well! There are exhibit for toddlers and younger kids and their parents to explore. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

My husband and I travel to many hotels throughout the year. I would have to say that this was a great lodging experience. The city of Tampa is not what we expected but the hotel was a great retreat from it. The staff were very friendly and helpful,the hotel was very cozy and private as well as immaculate. Everything was with in reach . The business center was very helpful with pamphlets to various city attractions and complete desktop computers with internet and an ATM machine. The restaurant in the lobby was a great convenience,especially for that first cup of coffee. The service was friendly and the food was excellent with very reasonable prices. The location was within minutes to the highways. We both agree that this was probably one of the best OVERALL experiences that we've had in a hotel.
Pros: A very pleasant stay if you must be in Tampa
Cons: The city itself
