Steve’s take
The oldest restaurant in Florida — open since 1905, a full city block, fifteen dining rooms, and a flamenco show on weekends. The 1905 Salad is prepared tableside by your server and the Cuban sandwich is the original Tampa-style version that started the debate. If you're doing a pre-cruise dinner in Tampa, this is it. The Griswold family has eaten here before boarding at Port Tampa Bay and it sets the vacation tone perfectly. Dress one notch above road trip clothes.

Want help locking in the cruise too?
Steve has booked thousands of cruises and personally sailed every Disney, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival ship out of these ports. Well, maybe not Every ship, but you get the point. Pixie agents are free to use (the resort/cruise line pays our commission, not you), watch for price drops you’d otherwise miss, and pull room locations the booking sites don’t show. Disney/Universal/cruise prices climb the closer you get — booking early gets you the best rate and pick.
