It's a very small place and quite expensive, but well worth it.

If you're a steak lover, I recommend Bern's Steakhouse in Tampa. One of the few places around that serves prime beef that is dry aged. It's comparable in price to Mark's Prime in Ocala, and better.

Have heard of some of these restaurants before. Must put them on our list.
If you're ever further south make an effort to try the seafood restaurant in the Hyatt Regency, Tarpon Bay. Food, service , ambiance all first rate.
Too bad it's soo far away.
