Best Steak Restaurants in Ybor City

Never experienced service so superb. One would expect a nice steakhouse to have good service but this was on another level. Staff was everywhere and constantly checking in. Steaks were amazing. My wife had the crab legs and they were spectacular as well. Loved the raw oysters as an appetizer and the corn and gnocchi sides were great.

Service was fantastic. We had the escargot and salmon (special) for appetizers. Coq au Vin and Duck Confit for our mains. Bread pudding for dessert. All were very good! It was a little pricey but nothing crazy.

Charley’s is our go-to when we are in Tampa. The food is ALWAYS amazing. The Bison Ribeye was perfectly prepared, the baked potato was one of the best we’ve ever had. We sat at the bar, and were somewhat disappointed with the service. We typically choose to sit at the bar when we go to Charley’s because the bartenders are always great—super informative, friendly and helpful. Last night something was missing with the service we received. Again, the food was remarkable as always.

Driftlight is the unsung hero of Channelside area restaurants. Having the quality of a good steakhouse, this restaurant is on the first floor of the JW Marriott. Less expensive than some of the area’s other fine dining establishments, we still hope that as our economy improves, we’ll see some dining cost reductions. But in the meantime, we love Driftlight and the great staff. We’ll be back soon!

Food and service were great! Ava is consistent! Pasta was amazing! Old Fashion was delicious. Highly recommend the bread service. Its special!
