Cafe Alma - 260 1st Ave S
I always forget Café Alma is there, and I when I go I wonder why I can’t remember it! The food is tasty, the prices are great (especially at happy hour), and the mood of the place is awesome.

Savannah's Café - 113 Central Ave
The fried green tomatoes are SO GOOD. Sometimes my order falls flat here, but I still keep coming back. Maybe it’s the delicious cocktails, the tomatoes, the atmosphere, or all three. Of maybe I just love Southern cooking.

Red Mesa Cantina - 128 3rd St S
Best gourmet tacos…EVER. Ahi tuna tacos, duck tacos, and potato tacos. All good, and you don’t feel gross or explosive afterward. The sangria is SO tasty, and to top off your meal, the BEST dessert…EVER? Maybe, but hot damn, the Mexican chocolate brownie with Petron-soaked strawberries and chipotle chocolate gelato will knock. Your. Socks. OFF.

Primi Urban - 27 4th St N
Another place I forget about, but then wonder why I forget it. The food is good, and often, you’ll have enough pasta leftover for another meal without abusing your wallet.

Parkshore Grill - 300 Beach Drive NE
The Parkshore Burger is one reason to come here – hello? A burger topped with blue cheese and applewood bacon. YUM! Another reason? The view – see the Vinoy basin with moored sailboats bobbing on the water in front of the bayan tree-filled Straub Park. Oh, and the martinis are wicked good.

The Moon Under Water - 332 Beach Dr NE
A perennial stand by for me, with a go-to “I’m feeling healthy” menu item. I love the feta taboule salad that comes in tortilla bowl with pita and hummus on the side. This British-inspired pub has great atmosphere inside, a wonderful porch to eat on, and sidewalk seating. The chicken curry, veggie burger, and fish and chips are all good too.

The Queenshead - 2501 Central Ave
Trendy and tasteful, this place offers up a number of delicious entrees. It is only open for dinner and I’ve been aching for an excuse to go back!

Ceviche - 95 Central Ave
Some of the best dinners of my life have taken place at this yummy tapas restaurant, including my first date with Jacob. The sangria greases the wheels (red, white, or champagne) and menu always takes on a life its own. Before you know it, your hungry eyes have outpaced your stomach. Better make room, because it is ALL tasty.

Bonefish - 5062 4th St N
Order fresh fish the way you like it. Blackened, grilled, fried, baked. This ain’t no Burger King, though. Yummy platters await and you will rarely be disappointed.

Bella Brava - 204 Beach Drive NE
Wine and dine in style. This place just moved down to the up-and-coming Beach Dr. strip and I have not had a chance a to see the new location. I always love their pastas, paninis, and flatbreads. Plus, the wine is always good here!

Z Grille - 104 2nd St S
Oh my God. Dr. Pepper BBQ ribs? So good! More Mexican dishes with a modern flair await you here, too. The interior is trendy, modern, and clean and the food is delicious. Watch the specials because there is always a winner among the choices!
