Restaurants near Circulo Cubano de Tampa

We went to celebrate a special occasion in our family. We chose to see the flamenco dance show which was excellent. Our waiter was exceptional. He offered suggestions about meal choices and wine choices an was spot on with both. Take time to read the menu with its history and traditions. Such a memorable dining experience for our family.

Absolutely incredible. The GM Justin took amazing care of us for my wife’s birthday.

Cozy Ybor restaurant. Nice holiday touches. Tapas and dessert were good. Dumplings needed some extra to give it pizzaz. Chocolate mousse tasty. Chef/owner visited the table, nice guy.

Our 4 person group started off at the outside bar while waiting for out table. The cocktails were just ok. Nothing outstanding but they also had a good wine selection. The baked oysters were very dry and hard to remove from the shell. Not juicy at all but very dry. The fried green tomatoes and pork belly were a big hit. The dinner selections were tasty. I had the pompano dish and it was great. The native chili was dry as well. It was meaty but also very dry and lacked moisture or sauce. The desserts were good except the whisky butter cake with blackberries came with 1 blackberry and it was cut in half. I wish it had more berries or some blackberry compote to go with it. Overall nice meal with some improvements to be had on some dishes. I would recommend this place especially with the nighttime ambiance.

Service was fantastic. We had the escargot and salmon (special) for appetizers. Coq au Vin and Duck Confit for our mains. Bread pudding for dessert. All were very good! It was a little pricey but nothing crazy.
