Restaurants near Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Tampa-Anderson Road-Veterans Exp

We had a wonderful dining experience this evening at Sacred Pepper. Busy evening and we were seated in the Wine Room which is just off to the right of the Hostess station. Big comfy chairs and a roomy environment. The noise level was low considering this room is just before the lounge area when a duo was performing. The service was excellent our waiter was friendly, very pleasant, attentive but yet not intrusive. The food was absolutely delicious from appetizer to dessert. Our favorite cocktails were crafted very well with a water glass that was never empty.

Ocean Prime in Tampa, FL was great. Excellent food - steaks and fish entrees were excellent. The restaurant was very busy.

We ALWAYS have a great meal and great service. Matt was EXCELLENT! The prices have become ridiculous in these type of restaurants in Tampa. $500 for a family of 4, which didn’t include a bottle of wine! That said, the only downfall to this restaurant is that it’s located in a mall and has NO DRESS CODE! It takes the great ambience and beautiful decor and makes you feel like you’re in a diner. There was a guy at the table next to me wearing shorts and a t-shirt that he apparently slept in. If you want to charge that much for a meal, at least enforce some type of dress code. Even with the ridiculous prices and letting under dressed people in, we’ll definitely be back!

We love Hales'! Every meal has been spot-on, and it is hands down the best Asian food in the region. The soup dumplings are a must, but also try the other starters and appetizers. We had tge spicy green beans, and fell in love with the house made spicy sauce.

I love this place. The sushi is fantastic, and the staff is friendly and professional. The ambiance is great for gathering with friends and enjoying a conversation without screaming over music or loud customers. The decor is intimate yet homey and relaxing.
