- AArmandoTampa / Central Florida West •11 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThe service and food was excellent. We started with the Cauliflower sharable and the flavor was amazing. The cocktails were outstanding and they have a full service bar with real liquor and not the "well" drinks so many tourist focused restaurants have for our visitors. The steak and chicken entrees were similarly very well prepared and savory. The restaurant was packed with large groups celebrating as well as couples having their date night. The background music was contemporary and not too loud, which allowed for conversation, but it also was a good fit for the positive fun energy of the surroundings. We were there to celebrate a birthday and we couldn't have picked a better restaurant.More infoThe LibraryPrice: Expensive• American• St. Petersburg•4.6
