Restaurants near Tampa Convention Center

Great spot with outside seating and a large bar if you’re trying to get in without a reservation on busy nights. Don’t discount this place as a hotel bar/restaurant. I had the Broccolini and Ceviche and they were both excellent. The Octopus small plate was good and Crab Cake was really enjoyed by another in my party. I definitely recommend and will be back. Check it out!

The food was exceptional—truly top tier. Every dish we tried was fantastic. While our entrée took a bit longer to arrive, the appetizers came out quickly. The service was good. The standout dish was the goat cheese croquettes with guava sauce—absolutely incredible. The guacamole and chips, as well as the ceviche, were also delicious. For the main course, the steak frites were cooked perfectly, with tender, flavorful steak complemented by a delicious chimichurri sauce. The potatoes were equally impressive. Overall, a wonderful dining experience!

My experience at Jackson’s was nothing short of amazing. I started off by running a little late, afraid that my reservation would be canceled. When I called the restaurant to advise of my late arrival. The manager informed me that he would mark me down as coming in late and told me to take my time. I appreciated the fact that there was no rush and that I could still enjoy my evening without worrying about my reservation being canceled. It was already a stressful day and evening and arriving late and missing my reservation would’ve ruined my night. I appreciate the staff being so nice and understanding. 10 out of 10 would definitely recommend. The food was amazing. That atmosphere was wonderful and calm and the service was exceptional.

Amazing food !! Highly recommend the lobster quesadilla and fish tacos. Upbeat atmosphere. Good for couples and/ or families.

Everything was beautiful about this place. The server Sophia was the kindest and we never had to worry about our drinks or needing anything. Went for Valentine’s Day and the only complaint I have for their special menu for Valentine’s Day is that they wouldn’t substitute for my girlfriends shellfish allergy so we had to just order from the basic menu. But! Everything we ate and drank was phenomenal
