    We came to the fairgrounds to see the RV Super Show. It was our first time visiting the fairgrounds.There were people lined up in their cars to purchase parking passes at the gate entrances. The parking pass was $8 for the day. No reentry. We were guided into a parking spot on the big field of grass by one of several parking lot attendants. There was hardly any line up to purchase tickets. But there were long line ups to get your ticket scanned to get inside. I also noted there was no security check for such a big show. Once inside the building there was a large table of maps and magazines. The show was for RV's so there were RVs parked side by side throughout the building. Outside there was a giant map detailing where hundreds of RVs were parked. That's in case you forgot to get a map I guess. There was also a trolly you could hop onto if you didn't want to walk. I also noticed a place you could rent wheelchairs. There were food stands spread throughout the show outside. Typical fair foods like deep fried Oreos, corn dogs, hamburgers, fries, ice cream and lemonade. There was even a spot to buy beer. The seminars were held in a air conditioned building. This was also where the bathrooms were located. Very clean I might add. It's a huge fairgrounds so expect a lot of walking.

    A good establishment large enough to hold the University of Tampa's graduation. At first I thought it would not be a good experience, thinking it would be to hot and uncomfortable but on the contrary there really wasn't a bad seat in the house and the climate control was excellent. The staff there was helpful and the open concessions stand was helpful after arriving very early in the morning.

    Oxford Exchange - French toast

    The building is beautiful; you pass thru an unusual (in a good way) bookstore, candle pour bar,…read morecoffee bar, tea bar, a gift shop with very unique items, & then into the restaurant. Paintings adorn the walls inside, but you can also dine in the "outside patio" with a glass ceiling overhead & lots of plants around. Our server, Cami, was pleasant & gave us time to peruse the menu. The option of breakfast served all day was a surprise. We decided to try three appetizers: the whipped feta, buttermilk fried chicken & fried Brussel sprouts. A glass of sangria & iced tea for beverages. Everything was delicious & exceeded our expectations. Cami checked on us regularly asking if we'd like to order anything else. Would definitely put the Oxford Exchange at the top of our restaurant list when going across the bridge to Tampa. Already thinking about the French toast for the next visit.

    After living in Tampa for 4 years, I finally tried Oxford exchange for brunch! Our group of 6…read moredecided to spontaneously go to brunch on a Tuesday around 11 and luckily they had an opening for us! Parking is kinda tough, you gotta scour the street parking. Our server Nicholas was phenomenal - very attentive, quick to fill our drinks, and knowledge about the menu. As other reviews have said, one of the biggest appeals is the atmosphere inside. We sat in a huge atrium room with lots of light and plants. The bookstore and coffee shop is adorable too. For food, highly recommend the whipped feta - it's PHENOMENAL. The chopped salad was filling and delicious, loved the dates, sunflower seeds and avocado. Crispy chicken Caesar salad looked fire. Can't wait to come back to the more of the menu!

    Parking here is expensive. Even after validation. Came for a summit and parked 8:20 to 3:06 and…read moreit was $38.50 even with "validation! As for the club it's ok. Food served was decent. Severs made a lot of conversational noise during the presentations which was distracting. It needs a bit of a refresh as it's a bit beat up.

Perched…read morehigh above the city, the views were stunning, the ambiance refined, and the food... well, the food was the true star of the show. I started with the charred octopus, which was plated beautifully and tender with just the right hint of smokiness. The accompanying elements added brightness and contrast, making every bite layered and memorable. For the main, I went with the seared steak medallions, perfectly cooked to a juicy medium-rare, paired with a silky mashed potato purée and vibrant green sauce that brought a fresh pop to the dish. Rich, flavorful, and thoughtfully balanced. The surprise hit? The crispy Brussels sprouts. These were next-level--golden brown, slightly sweet, and addictive. The perfect mix of texture and umami. The service was polished and attentive throughout, fitting for a private club experience. Whether you're here for a special occasion, business dinner, or just want to treat yourself, The Tampa Club delivers a memorable fine dining experience with top-tier food and views to match.

The atmosphere of this place is just fun and unique. There are always activities, events and fun to be had out on the riverside lawn or around. Be sure to check their calendar to see if anything interests you. After some food I usually ride around Tampa on a scooter or take a walk down riverwalk but there are endless options here.

We went around 12pm on a Tuesday and it was perfect, not too busy inside and not too hot outside so we were able to enjoy the scenery. As for food, we got the 4 pack empanadas from Empamama with two Mother Clucker empanadas and two Fresh Prince ones. We paired the empanadas with the bang bang sauce and it definitely added to the flavor, especially the Mother Clucker. The mother Clucker was an 8/10 for me while the fresh prince was a 7/10. The restaurant also offers a margarita slushy and an apple cider slushy which we had samples of and that was good. We ended up getting lemonade and strawberry lemonade from a different restaurant though because we were just feeling that instead. Overall, I spent about $30 here ($22 for food and $8 for drinks). I really emphasize that this is a casual spot and I would come here for a quick mid-day snack rather than for an entire meal. I was definitely still hungry after but the food was enough to hold me over for a couple hours.
