2. Colonnade

solid
It is true that the colonnade's customers tend to be a little older but I don't think that affect the quality of the food. Overall the food is very solid. We had the special of the day which was a white fish. Mine was lightly breaded, moist and had a pleasant taste. My wife's was broiled, light and also had a nice taste. The sides were a inconsistent as my rice was very good but the salad was pretty bland. The complementary bread was very good. Again, a nice solid place to eat.

This place is awful. I can't believe it made a top 10 list. There are far better restaurants in Tampa. Everyone is age 55 or older and the food was on par with Red Lobster (although that might be a bit of an insult to Red Lobster). Lots of fried foods. The non-fried foods were greasy and swimming in butter. Overcooked vegetables and unappealing salads.

This restaurant is absolutely horrible. It is a tourist trap with a beautiful view of the bay, but while dining there the service was sub par, the food was of poor quality and my feet were covered in small bug bites by the time I left. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

The food taste like it is from a hospital cafeteria. I ordered the house salad, the lettuce was wilted and looked old. We had the crab cakes, and they smelled so fishy we couldn't even eat them. The decor is old and moldy and I saw a roach crawling on the wall. Once I saw that, we got the check and left. My husband and I were the youngest ones there and I'm 38! I highly don't recommend this rundown establishment.

Great…we were the youngest people in there by about 10 years, but both my wife and I were impressed by the meal…Jeremy and Shan M.

Have been eating with you since I was 4 years old and you were a drive in with shrimp baskets and chicken baskets served at car side. My husband and my family all enjoy dinning with you each time we are in Tampa.

It is a great place. We have been eating here for many years. Just wonderful.
