Best Casual Restaurants in Ybor City

My first time at Barterhouse and I loved everything we ordered. The restaurant was decorated for Christmas and it was beautiful! The hush puppies were delicious and the fresh catch with butternut squash was so good. I’ll definitely be going back!

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.

We had a great Christmas meal. Three of us enjoyed an appetizer, the 1905 tableside salad, and entrees. Two had fish - both were delicious. The only disappointment was the special Christmas dinner pork meal, which was dry and barely lukewarm as if it had been sitting waiting for the others. The service was stellar - friendly, informative, knowledgeable, timely, but allowed us to enjoy the experience over a period of time without feeling rushed even though the place was jam packed.

Once again Acropolis provides a fantastic evening for our family. We had a new waitress who was on Day 1 out of training. She was so sweet and though she made a few mistakes with our meal, she was working hard to make it all great! We live in Texas, but when in town, this is a multiple must visit.

Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!
