Best Cozy Restaurants in Ybor City

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with my closest friends and family. And all I can say is the Nawlins oysters and shrimp and grits were amazing.  we were there during a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game and the Channelside district was bustling with people and yet we were still able to enjoy our conversations and each other’s company over amazing food. Would definitely recommend this place!

I reserved Bouzy for my birthday, and it was the best experience! The DJ was incredible, playing great music all night, and the service was absolutely on point. The atmosphere was unforgettable, and I’m so glad I chose to celebrate such a special occasion there. Highly recommend!

Madame Fortune gets 5 stars from me for multiple reasons! It was a unique concept, very cool ambiance and decor inside, our waitress was lovely and very engaging and each person in our party really enjoyed their food. Definitely recommend getting the sweet potato corn bread as a starter. On top of that, they had a great DJ - maybe only because it was a Saturday night. Highly recommend and will try to come back

I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I feel like this place is deserving. We chose this restaurant because we saw the Christmas decorations. We sat at the bar for a few drinks before moving to our table. The Old Fashion was great and the girls really enjoyed the “Cindy Lou”. When we decided to move to the table we were greeted by the friendliness waitress. We ordered a few appetizers but I would say that the bursts with duck prosciutto was the winner. For Dinner it was a toss up between the short rib dish and the Sea Bass. Although the smash burger was pretty good also. Looking forward to our next visit.

A pretty cool place with old items from the courthouse weaved into the decor. Jorge our server was super cool. I had the chicken and waffles which was unique but just ok. My friends had more traditional brunch items and liked their dishes. I would go back for dinner and the ambience.
