Restaurants near Florida Museum of Photographic Arts

A great little find in downtown Tampa. Very fair pricing for the location. Penne Vodka was excellent and the Margherita Pizza was as well. My wife said the Tomato Basil soup she had was one of the best she’s tasted. Our waitress was also very helpful and friendly.

We always have a great time when we come to the Gin Joint. I never hesitate to bring friends or family to this classy, comfortable, and eclectic place. The mood is right, music is groovy, and food and drinks are always delicious!

Excellent meal from start to finish. My wife and I split appetizers, Gorgonzola salad and crab cakes. My only disappointment was the amount of bread filler in the middle of the crab cakes. Plenty of very good jumbo lump on the outside, mostly bread on the entire inside. I had the filet and onion rings for dinner and my wife the sea bass with scallops. Both dishes were outstanding. We will definitely go back.

We really enjoy Haiku Tampa. We found it by chance when looking for a restaurant on Christmas Eve, and we come back every year for Christmas (and once or twice during the year). Octopus appetizer, short rib, sea bass, shishito peppers, and any ramen highly recommended. The interior is nice but the patio is great when the weather permits.

We ordered grilled octopus, schnitzel, steaks…all of them were absolutely amazing.
