One of the most welcoming and best breakfast places in Florida. (They do a lot more than breakfast food, but man is it good). The prices are almost criminally low for the quality of the food and service.

Definitely worth a visit if you live in or are passing through Jacksonville. Pulled pork was perfectly cooked and so tender with a good amount (but not too much) smokey flavor.

I was so happy to find out there's a Datz on the St. Pete side of the bridge! The chicken and waffles are just incredible.

Excellent quality of food and service with a host of delicious small plates. The steamed buns and the stir fry were just exceptional.

Terra Gaucha is an establishment in Tampa and I was thrilled to find the Jacksonville location was every bit as consistent with their excellent meats and service. The Full Rodizio Experience is a must!

Great place to learn a lot about Tampa's history and the museum, while small, is very well laid out.

Marie Livingston's is an experience. It reminds me of a dinner in Italy. There's no rush, the servers are all moving at a reserved pace, you can chat and enjoy cocktails or wine and honestly it just makes the entire evening better. Forget your troubles and enjoy a leisurely meal here.

Excellent service, prices are very low for the quality of the food and it's a family run business, so not only is the cuisine authentic and tasty, you get to support a small business!

Wine tastings here are a must! There are way too many options to choose from otherwise. Excellent service and of course a giant wine selection.

Fun bar with a lot of energy, but also a lot of different themed nights and eclectic specials. Can feel like a completely different place some nights, which is nice for variety. Great bartenders.

Really fun place to party during spring break. I haven't been back for a LONG time but it's time for another visit!

Really enjoyed having a great cafe con leche and relaxing for a bit between meetings. Excellent quality and service.

Relaxed railroad themed casual dining spot with excellent and interesting burgers, and apps. The Pulled pork wontons are extremely tasty.

Maple Street Biscuit Co is always a good time. Yes they will be busy, yes it will be worth the wait. The sticky maple is one of my go-to's and the house-made jam is just killer.

Friendly and quick service, excellently prepared Italian dishes including house baked bread and house-made mozzarella for the perfect squeaky bite. Prices are extremely fair too.

Really creative and tasty meals, excellent service and the brunch poutine is just fantastic.

Had some wings and a burger while in town. The wings were really great and the burger was pretty good. Service was very friendly though they were busy so there was a bit of a wait. I'd definitely go back again.

Excellent pizza, the supreme and the Chicken Parm were both instant hits. They have great lunch specials too.

Lovely well-lit space that's perfect for a walk at any time of year.

Excellent museum that offers a lot of exhibits and artifacts and really dives into the history of the state and different periods of time.
