The 17 Best Restaurants In Tampa - Tampa - The Infatuation

"Why does it seem like every restaurant, especially in Florida, hits you over the head with marketing copy about how they serve “globally-inspired cuisine with creative ingredients”? If you really want the answer, email us (we have a lot of thoughts). Rooster & The Till is actually doing this, though, and doing it well. Go with a couple of friends so everyone can try a bit of everything, like foie gras with pear-cashew Nutella and the best romano beans you'll ever eat, made with Iberico ham XO sauce and grapefruit kosho foam. And don't skip the cocktails: Try the Sea of Trees, which is basically a grown-up piña colada with miso caramel, or the Hidden Treasure, which combines rum and passion fruit and tastes like waking up from a hazy, two-hour beach nap." - cheryl rodewig
