Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in New Tampa

The Library is a delightful spot that truly understands the art of quality over quantity. Their limited menu is like a well-curated bookshelf—each selection thoughtfully placed and crafted to impress. Fresh ingredients and flawless execution make every dish feel like a bestseller. We visited for brunch and were pleasantly surprised by the live music outside. Now, if you're the type who enjoys a lively beat with your eggs Benedict, you'll feel right at home on the patio. For those of us who prefer our conversations uninterrupted—think whispered library tones rather than rock concert vibes—inside seating is the perfect retreat. Whether you're here for the food, the ambiance, or the tunes, The Library checks out as a great place to dine. Just be sure to pick your “reading nook” carefully—inside for quiet chats or outside for a musical interlude. Either way, this spot deserves a place on your go-to list!

The server (Jason) was amazing. We were served the holiday menu, everything was excellently prepared and presented. Had the Sea Bass main course, black pearl salad with the poppyseed dressing was delightful, and the black pearl ice cream was wonderful. The entire dining experience was great, I’d recommend for a special ocassion.

Always a wonderful experience. The views of the Bay are exceptional. They do a wonderful job of being mindful to my allergy. Food is delight to the taste buds. The brussel sprouts are delectable and one of my favorite menu items. Highly recommend.

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.
