Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Indian Shores

"I had heard good things about Ulele (Ū-lë-lē) prior to our visit and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The concept was created by Tampa Bay’s Gonzmart family, now in their fifth generation as owners of Florida’s oldest restaurant, The Columbia (more on that later). Ulele restaurant and craft brewery opened after a $5 million restoration of Tampa’s original public water pump house, which drew from a spring that once supplied all the city’s drinking water."

"Just at the northern end of Tampa’s Riverwalk, you’ll find one of the most iconic restaurants of late. Ulele makes its home in a renovated water-works building, beckoning a rustic, industrial-chic vibe. Inspired by the indigenous people of Florida, the menu combines fresh and local ingredients in new, exciting flavor combinations."

"On Saturday June 18 I had dinner reservations for 6, which ended up being 4. The staff was very accommodating. Meal and drinks were great, as always."

"Oxford Exchange is one of the most stunning spaces in the city with its UK-inspired architecture. It now houses a greenhouse atrium, bookstore and gift shop, Buddy Brew coffee stand, TeBella tea bar, ‘Commerce Club’ (rentable office spaces) and an updated restaurant. With a specialty in breakfast or lunch food and drinks, highlights of the menu, made from the best of seasonal, local and organic ingredients, are the lobster Benedict and pumpkin pancakes as well as the lobster BLT and succulent burger."

"While not quite as well-known as Orlando or Miami, Tampa makes up one-third of Florida’s Bay Area, alongside Clearwater and St. Petersburg. This Gulf of Mexico city is currently undergoing a major gastronomic renewal. Where once there were only chain restaurants to choose from, there are now independently owned gems sourcing local produce and food trucks keeping traditional Florida cooking alive."

"Built in 1891 as a stable for the then Henry B. Plant’s Tampa Bay Hotel (now the University of Tampa) right across the street, Oxford Exchange has it all: restaurant, coffee and tea bar, bookstore and home décor shop, and events and co-working space."

"Bern’s Steak House is one of the nicest romantic restaurants Tampa offers; you’ll love the relaxed and refined atmosphere and the food is just as visually appealing as it is delicious. The filet mignon is served with crispy onion strings, green beans, and shredded carrots. You’ll also love the white truffle mac and cheese topped with chives or the lump crab cake served with a light gravy and fresh lemon."

"Bern's Steak House is one of Tampa's best-known restaurants. Family-owned since opening in 1956, this venerable steak house is legendary for its impeccable service, top-quality food, and incredible attention to detail. Not to mention their astounding wine list, consisting of one of the largest private wine collections in the world."

"Jackson's Bistro Bar & Sushi opened on Harbour Island in 1997, because it is locally owned and independently managed, Jackson's can keep up with what Downtown Tampa's workforce wants and needs."

"A unique combination featuring great sandwiches, comfort favorites like mac bites, meatloaf, bakery and specialty food mart all under the same roof, with a wine bar and specialty craft cocktails to boot!. Sample from an eclectic menu selection in an upbeat, friendly atmosphere. Open Mon-Fri for breakfast; Lunch daily; Mon-Sat for dinner."

"Datz restaurant in South Tampa is an eclectic gastropub filled with modern comfort food, craft beers and cocktails. With an extensive menu and seasonal offerings, there’s something for everyone at Datz. Make sure to stop by their sister bakery, Dough, next door for whimsical and delicious donuts, cookies and cakes."

"Datz opened in 2009 and is one of Tampa’s most popular restaurants for Breakfast and Brunch in Tampa. This gastropub serves breakfast 7-11 Monday to Friday and brunch on Saturday and Sunday starting at 8:30 am. The say they serve comfort food with a flair!"

"The Birchwood Inn is the home of one of St Petersburg’s most elegant restaurants, The Birch & Vine. This restaurant’s regal elegance is set in the Spanish Mission-style with chandeliers and French doors in the main dining area. On top of the Inn, glass railings, fire pits, cabanas, and scenic views of Tampa Bay make this a perfect venue for a romantic dinner."

"Located in the same hotel as The Canopy, Birch & Vine is one of the most luxurious St. Petersburg restaurants. Guests can dine in the immaculate dining room or on the patio for lunch, brunch or dinner. Meals include New American favorites like Ribeye Carpaccio and Scallop and Grits."

"Excellent happy hour on signature cocktails and half off bottles of wine. Had an amazing rib-eye carpaccio with bone m..."
