Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in Madeira Beach

"Another Gonzmart family production, Ulele turned an old water works building into a historic fine dining restaurant right on the Hillsborough River. By revitalizing a derelict stretch of Tampa’s riverfront, Ulele has brought new life to the Tampa Heights neighborhood and inspired other businesses to follow suit. Named for a young Native American princess, the menu uses indigenous flavors and ingredients."

"Beyond their oysters, alligator hush puppies, and white cheddar mashed potatoes, Ulele has some of the best ice cream in town. And it's fairly priced at $5 for two generous scoops, with all of their flavors made in-house via fresh ingredients. If you're addicted to anything and everything coffee, then I will personally drag you to Ulele to try their coffee ice cream."

"An ode to Princess Ulele, a First Nations princess, Ulele (pronounced You-lay-le) serves artfully spiced Native American cuisine. We recommend the Alligator Hush Puppies followed by the Ulele Burger (lunch menu) or Florida Pompano (dinner menu). Location – Airside C, Gate C34"

"A visit to the Oxford Exchange is not just a visit to one of the best restaurants in Tampa. One step into Oxford Exchange and you’re transported into a bookstore, lifestyle gift store, design studio, and eatery all in one. The founders sought to bring people together over food in drink."

"The Oxford Exchange ups the ante for breakfast with its posh seating and vintage décor. Although they have high-brow plates like eggs benedict and smoked salmon, they also have breakfast tacos and sandwiches. Whatever your fancy, they have drinks like mimosas and bellinis to go with it."

"Bern’s Steak House is a Tampa institution, where families, friends and yo-pros go to dine in style. Serving thick steaks and a selection of over 6,800 wines, the windowless building stands like a monolith just blocks from the bay. Make reservations for a celebratory evening."

"Tampa’s premier restaurant is more than a steakhouse; it’s an experience. Dry-aged, hand-carved prime grade steaks and organic vegetables are just the start. Bern’s also has the largest restaurant wine collection in the country (and it’s surprisingly affordable)."

The food is as comforting as the environment lifting America's favorite dishes to a whole new level."

"The Tampa Museum of Art is another popular spot on the downtown riverwalk. The museum’s permanent collection of ancient Greek and Roman art is one of the largest in this region of the country. There is also an impressive collection of contemporary and modern art with exhibits focused on photography, new media, and sculptures."
