Best Romantic Restaurants in New Tampa

Hands down, the best steak in town. We finally tried the 24 oz Hereford Heritage ribeye with the truffle butter. Paired with the baby artichokes and fabulous wine recommended by Chef Chris - one of our favorite evenings at Quality Foods. We had a 6:15 reservation and were the last ones to leave last night - it’s nice to slow down, enjoy a great meal and chat with Chef Chris, his lovely wife Emily and the friendly staff. What a neighborhood gem.

We were there on an early reservation valentines day. We had several appetizers, salad and sushi. we ordered as we went and never felt rushed. Our server, McKenzie, was friendly and efficient she had no issue with us ordering multiple times. I watched her work multiple tables and she was very high energy. I also noted that when she was busy that other staff members pitched in and brought our drink and sushi. The food and drinks were very good. I'm glad that there is now a nicer steakhouse in Lutz.

I ordered the 14oz Ribeye med/rare. The chef cooked it to perfection. My husband ordered the Wedge salad and sirloin steak medium/rare. His meal was also above his expectations. We went for an intimate early Valentine’s Day celebration. I gave our whole dinner experience 5 stars. I highly recommend Stonewood Grill.

Rooster & the Till is a hidden gem! From the outside, it’s unassuming, but inside, it’s a beautifully designed space with a classy, intimate atmosphere. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and seamless. Every dish was thoughtfully crafted and packed with incredible flavors. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality absolutely justifies it. A truly impressive dining experience!

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
