So I have to think they must be the best. By the way my personal fav: Leverocks click We used to go to the Kingfish (a personal fav of my dad) on John's Pass a lot, great food there, but it's gone now, Don't know what ever happened to Sid & Sue the owners, I guess that is the way of things. Another personal fav of my mother and dad's is Tellys in seminole Mall, to find the rating of other restaurants in the Tampa Bay area go to yahoo.local.com best to become a member, I am. Note to restaurant goers I never recommend a restaurant named after a celebrity. These restaurants generally speaking pay the celebrity copious amounts of money for the use of their name which then has to be recovered in the pricing of the food, but the celebrity has nothing to do with the management of the restaurant, does not even live where the restaurant is located, and could not care less about customer service, much less customer complaints. A limousine customer of mine had just such an experience, at one of these type restaurants, he told me the service was inferior, the food was sub par, the lighting was atrocious to the point they could not even read the menu, the price was over inflated. His entire experience at this particular restaurant was far less than he expected. Most people go to these places because they heard good things about it from someone else. Why would folk say such things about an inferior restaurant experience? I suppose a couple of factors are at play here first the person that told them the celebrity named restaurant was so great is because they probably dropped a big coin at this place and do not want to be perceived as a chump who got taken to the cleaners. Second they may feel better about themselves, knowing that somebody else got taken, by going there. My bottom line recommendation is to avoid these restaurants like the plague. What's the worst that could happen? Your wallet will weigh more because of it?
