Had some of the best seafood dishes I've had in Tampa, so glad to have stumbled across a local spot with great outdoor views! Will be back for sure, great happy hour drink deals as well. A little pricy but perfect for a date night out; quick service since it's a smaller spot.
my mom and my dad and my sister went. Everything was amazing. The server took care of we needed. He was there. He gave us free five free water. Beautiful background when you eat. ask for Greg.bye five stars
One of my favorite restaurants in Tampa! This place is especially wonderful for seafood, and the quality is always super fresh. The place is spacious, with lots of outdoor seating to enjoy the waterfront. This makes for the perfect sunset dining experience. The waiters and bartenders are always attentive and provide excellent service.
Convenient spot for brunch, lunch or dinner on Harbour Island. If you are looking for something more low key than Jackson's or American Social, this is a great neighborhood spot. It's not usually super busy and food comes out quick. We had breakfast recently, the breakfast tacos and the breakfast bowl and it was pretty decent. Great view of Amalie Arena and they have some outdoor seating.
Another great place for a drink on the water in Tampa. Loved this location and laid back atmosphere. Great seating inside but we chose the sunny outside high top tables, they do batch make their cocktails, so it's hard to substitute anything unless it's off the menu. Service was good and the menu looked nice and varied. Just here for the drinks, but we did sneak in an order of the grilled biscuits. Wow, these work well with a drink! Nicely grilled served with butter and jelly. These melted in your mouth. Delicious. I'd love to come back here and eat a meal, food looked really good. Nice reasonable prices too. If your looking for something casual but good check this place out.
Watervue was lovely! We went here on a whim while on vacation before we went to the aquarium. Because it was a weekend, we were able to get street parking near by. The interior was very clean and bright, and the tables outside were just a few steps away from the water. The server was very friendly. Food was good too, but I'd go back for the views!
This is a cute, chic restaurant with a beautiful view of the water on Harbour Island. I highly recommend it for date nights or catching up with friends. The service is friendly, and the food came out quickly. Their charcuterie board is not the most aesthetic, but all the basics were there! We got salami, prosciutto, a variety of cheeses and bread, and jam. For my main entree, I had the seabass, and it was great! Parking is a bit tough here, so I recommend walking or scootering if you can. We ended up having to pay $20 in the garage, so plan ahead if you don't want this to happen to you!
We enjoyed our meal here and liked the view. It is nice to visit, but didn't necessarily blow us away. Our service could have been better. Nonetheless, the scallops were really delicious and they have great offerings on their menu. Parking is a little difficult here as well. I recommend ubering, or walking if you live in the area.
