Best Historic Restaurants in Tampa

The Valentines Day Menu was a Perfect Blend of everything this place has to offer. The service was above board. The food was amazing and so tasty. Their whiskey is some of the smoothest whiskey i have ever had, no burn, no problem. Amazing Quality. The first time i had Wagyu and it was the best beef i had ever eaten. I will for sure be back!

As a Tampa native my girlfriend has always loved Charley’s, and it was my first time. Our server was Rich who’s been there many years. From the moment we walked in and before we sat down he greeted us with genuine excitement. The food, drinks and ambiance speak for themselves and are of the highest quality but Rich made our special occasion truly unforgettable. He cares about each of his guests which was obvious as we watched him interact with other tables and he never misses a beat. We’re so glad we got lucky sitting in his section and will absolutely ask for him when we return. Cheers! - Kaylie and Brian

Came in for me and my bfs first time on Valentine’s Day and sat on the beautiful terrace. Walking into a full restaurant, the music was bumping and the crowd was energetic and alive! Definitely not that quiet if you’re looking for something like that. Food was amazing service topped it off from Sean!!! Wagyu was wagyu but really not worth the rave, I recommend getting another app or roll instead. Recommend the snapper and cookies as well! Will be back!

Parm to Table experience is ABSOLUTELY worth the price, and for 2 people is actually better pricewise than most two-entree combinations. Atmosphere was lovely, our server was kind and knowledgeable, and amazing Italian food.

Every year we meet friends here & enjoy a Spanish / Cuban meal in one of many rooms of this historic restaurant. There are three large parking lots, a gift shop and always a wait. Today we discovered that the restaurant is expanding and taking over the gift shop. The gift shop will be moving across the street. We always start with the sangria which Victoria prepared table side in a Spanish pitcher. The warm bread & 1905 salad is excellent. We shared 4 small devil crab croquettes, beef saltedo & we finished by sharing a warm white chocolate bread pudding. Portions were huge & prices reasonable. Our lunch was delicious. All four of us devoured our meals. We went next-door into the gift shop with a sell, their beautiful pottery, tiles, wine, cigars, cookbook, and ingredients
