Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Palmetto

My wife and I celebrated our 52nd wedding anniversary at the Y-bor city Columbia Restaurant in Tampa, Florida. We had reservations and arrived a few minutes late and were seated almost immediately. Our Waiter "Keith" anticipated our needs and was very good. When Keith found out that we were there to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary he alerted the Manager who came to our table introduced himself and presented us with a congratulations card which was very thoughtful. The food was very very good, the Sangria was excellent and the "White Chocolate Bread Pudding" was to die for. We will be returning to the Columbia every chance we get for the food, service and ambiance. Regards, Greg and Brenda

Really a great experience. This was our first visit since recently moving to the area. Food was excellent and the service was great from being seated to the end. Our server, Kate E was absolutely wonderful. She was caring, attentive, and had a fabulous customer-centric focus. Nice views on top of great food and service. 10 out of 10 for us.

We had a fantastic time 12-27-24. Dinner was outstanding I had the prime and my date had the sea bass. It was my birthday and everyone went out of their way to wish me a happy birthday. Our server Bryan was excellent quick with service and getting anything we needed. It is a little pricey so be sure to check out the menu to see if it fits your purse.

I REALLY liked Flemings’ previous Tampa location, as it was more of a low a key calmer dining experience. Having said that, the new Tampa Flagship location is also very good. New location service is impeccable. New location is EXTREMELY loud inside vs the older previous location. Regardless, service and food is GREAT!

The food was spectacular. The service was outstanding. The only issue was the restaurant had no hand wipes or finger bowls to clean your hands after eating a seafood tower appetizer. With small bathrooms, hand washing was not easy to gain access to. At this price point you don’t expect your hands to be sticky and engulfed in a seafood smell for the duration of your meal after ordering a $113 appetizer. They were out of handi-wipes according to the server. That should not happen at a restaurant charging this much. Will I return? Absolutely, I just won’t order raw seafood appetizers.
