Best Historic Restaurants in Brandon

Outstanding spot in Tampa! Great views of city. Great service.

I would definitely return to Barterhouse. The service was outstanding and the food amazing!

My husband and I got got stuck in every traffic jam between Sarasota and Tampa and called the restaurant twice to let them know we would be late. Stephanie was most kind and provided assurance they would do the very best to accommodate us. We arrivied an hour late but Julia greeted us and worked magic getting guests seated quickly. Our server Sky was attentive and took extra care with a special request i made for the Paella. Food was superb and I can not say enough about the wonderful staff! We left with our tummy's full and a wonderful remembrance. A Happy 40th Anniversary card signed by the staff. Highly recommend the Columbia Cafe on Water Street in Tampa, check out their other locations too! To everyone at Columbia Cafe thank you for making our 40th Anniversary EXTRA special!

Parm to Table experience is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and for 2 people is actually better pricewise than most two-entree combinations. Atmosphere was lovely, our server was kind and knowledgeable, and amazing Italian food.

Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients
