Fly Bar…A Unique Dining Option in Downtown Tampa

Filed under: Best Areas to Live in Tampa, Best Places, Best Places in Tampa, Best Places to Live in Tampa, Best Tampa Neighborhoods, Downtown Tampa Events, Living in Downtown Tampa

Fly Bar sits on the Northern Edge of Franklin Street in Downtown Tampa. Despite it’s “out of the way” location, it’s unique menu and atmosphere make it a busy place any night of the week. A combination bar scene/tapas menu/restaurant, with music nearly every night, it has a little something for everyone. I have just two gripes about Fly Bar: 1) It is TOOOOO loud. They really need to turn the music down in order to have a dinner conversation, and 2) They refuse to put salt and pepper on thhe table. Yes, they will bring it, if you ask, but the wait staff gets rushed, so ASK for it upfront!
The menu is a delightful assortment of Cold Plates, Salads, “nibble food” and entrees. The seasonal menu changes, so last night I enjoyed the Panko Crusted Goat Cheese with charred cherry pomodoro sauce, along with Seared Red Fish and Crab Gumbo. It was perfectly spiced, and the addition of garbanzo beans was a nice change from the “usual” rice.
The Seared Grouper with white bean stew and wilted spinach, as well as, the Grilled Hangar Steak are also favorites on the menu. Mondays feature half-priced bottles of wine, which offers a nice selection, and a guitarist! Beer drinkers will be happy, too, with many interesting options to choose from!

Downtown Tampa Restaurants…Samaria Cafe is a MUST

I have recently discovered a little “gem” of a family-owned restaurant for Breakfast and Lunch in Downtown Tampa! The Samaria Cafe, owned by a lovely couple who always stop by to “chat”, and check on the food, and the service, is THE place to go.

The menu is filled with so many choices, the hardest decision is “what to choose”!! Everything is fresh, and homemade. In many visits, I have never been disappointed! I usually order Quiche, or Eggs Benedict, but last time I was really in the mood for a “Croque Madame”, which is popular in France, and simply a  Grilled Ham and Cheese Sandwich, with a fried egg on top. Not on their menu, so I asked if I could have the Monte Cristo with a Fried Egg on top…No problem and it arrived with TWO eggs, perfectly cooked to my request. The owners and staff are so wonderful and the food is fabulous, it is the BEST breakfast spot in Downtown Tampa!

Filed under: Best Areas to Live in Tampa, Downtown Tampa Events, Fun and Frolic, Tampa Real Estate, Things to do in Tampa, Ventana Tampa

Every Monday morning I get a “news blast” from the Tampa Downtown Partnership about the current week’s events, meetings and fun things to do in Tampa.  They do a great job promoting Tampa’s downtown, so I have decided to include their events on The Tampa Real Estate Sizzle every week, because I write about “living” in Tampa, not just “moving” to Tampa.

This week, there are restaurant tours and dragon races!  Check out Tampa’s Downtown events for this week!
