Best Casual Restaurants in Ybor City

It was a great meal, and the atmosphere was fun! Loved the braised short ribs and the seafood risotto! You must get the bourbon butter cake!

What an outstanding meal! Our server, Courtney, was lovely, always there when we needed her, but never obtrusive. We were a little concerned that the restaurant would be overwhelmed today, and although it was definitely slammed, our service never suffered. All the food was delicious. The shrimp Al ajillo was perfect. Best Palomilla I’ve had in years. The flan was the cherry, or strawberry in this case, on top of the meal. Can’t wait to go again.

I don’t leave a lot of reviews but I feel like this place is deserving. We chose this restaurant because we saw the Christmas decorations. We sat at the bar for a few drinks before moving to our table. The Old Fashion was great and the girls really enjoyed the “Cindy Lou”. When we decided to move to the table we were greeted by the friendliness waitress. We ordered a few appetizers but I would say that the bursts with duck prosciutto was the winner. For Dinner it was a toss up between the short rib dish and the Sea Bass. Although the smash burger was pretty good also. Looking forward to our next visit.

Our server was friendly & attentive. The food was excellent, as always. We eat at Acropolis every time we visit Ybor from out of town as it's our favorite spot! (Cannot recall our servers nashe, but it was a male who made awesome recommendations & We visited Fri the 27th at 6pm & sat at the tables in front of the bar. )

Haven continues to delight every visit. This month they are running a "All Dogs go to Haven" hotdog special on the bar bites menu to benefit Florida Giant Dog Rescue. Last week the hotdog was named the Johnson after chef Chad Johnson. The hotdog was wrapped with bacon and had truffles 2 ways. It was incredibly well done. This week the hotdog is the Adrian named after long time waiter Adrian because it features sauerkraut. Overall this is a win-win that features great food benefiting a worthy cause.
