Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in New Tampa

My husband and I dined at The Black Pearl tonight for their Christmas special, and it was truly one of the most exceptional culinary experiences we’ve ever had. We’ve previously had a three-Michelin-star experience in Mexico (2022), and this evening rivaled, if not matched, that level of excellence. Every detail was extraordinary—the food was exquisite, with each course perfectly crafted to delight the senses. The palate cleansers were a delightful and refreshing touch, enhancing the flow of the meal beautifully. We opted for the seven-course holiday special with the wine pairing, and it was worth every penny. The wine pairing was simply impeccable, a flawless 10/10, with each selection complementing the dishes perfectly. This was not just a meal; it was an unforgettable culinary journey. We’re already counting down the days until our return for our wedding anniversary at the end of January. I can’t wait to relive this incredible experience.

This was our first trip to Rome + Fig. Our server was exceptional and the food was great.

Very good food priced right. Nice dining experience. Good cocktails.

This is elevated Latin cuisine that is well prepared and delicious. Every item was excellent, service was helpful and attentive, and it was a energetic environment with a great view

We had a fantastic lunch at The Library. The food was great, but the service and ambiance was over the top! I highly recommend visiting The Library if you are anywhere near this location and I will definitely visit again!! Our server was so professional and accomodating, but with a down to earth personality as well! Top notch!!
