So there are a ton of high end steak places in Tampa. Out of all of them we love this place the best. The steaks are Prime level ( you have to ask at all steak restaurants because many of them serve choice level and not the top prime) . Their sides are the best and the desserts are absolutely amazing.

This island is about one hour south of us and is filled with private beaches, great seafood restaurants and places to sit and enjoy the island life. It is the secret beach destination for many people in the Tampa Bay area because of its sugar sand and its low number of tourists compared to other beaches.
