This is a perfect location on Harbor Island. You're close to the convention center and other area venues after you enjoy a good meal and drinks. It's a happening place at night and on the weekends. Beautiful view of Tampa Bay!

This is a fun spot! Great dishes and warm atmosphere. Everyone in my party was happy with their meal. Will be back!

Went here for lunch and my table got a variety of dishes - all yummy! It’s a convenient location too and if it’s nice weather, plenty of outdoor seating!

In the heart of Downtown Orlando, Church Street Station has a wide variety of restaurants and shops to browse and it's a quick walk to Lake Eola for more retail and entertainment options!

Nice, upscale steak restaurant serving a well-prepared steak and sides. Easy access and pleasant wait staff.

This popular Harbor Island spot has a beautiful location on the water. It's conveniently located close to the convention center and is walkable to events in the area. Lots of food and drink options!

Oh Disney, how I love you so! This is a perfect spot for character sightings and comfort food. The wait staff is friendly and your kids are sure to enjoy themselves in this laid-back restaurant.

Sky Zone is a fun trampoline park sure to keep the kids busy. It's also a nice family outing! Their facilities are always clean and well maintained. Perfect for birthday parties too!

Zoo Miami has over 3,000 animals on nearly 750 acres. It's the only "tropical" zoo in the continental United States and has over 100 exhibits. One of my favorites in the Everglades exhibit. It includes the Lostman's River Ride, an airboat ride attraction too!

This is a nice breakfast choice. They have hearty dishes and lighter fare too. I always enjoy everything I get.

This has been a favorite date night spot for my husband and I since we’ve taken our kids to Disney when they were little. They’re grown now but we still enjoy the view and fireworks from our table. I’ve always liked all the dishes I’ve tried. My favorite dessert is a hot lava cake you have to order with your dinner since it takes 45 minutes to prepare - delish!

You can always count on American Social for a fun, lively atmosphere and a hip crowd. They offer a nice variety of apps and cocktails too!

Westin Hotels are always well-manicured facilities offering fine dining and services. The Sarasota location is no different!

Met a local friend for happy hour. She recommended the place and it didn't disappoint! We had a cheese board and tried their watermelon bruschetta. Delish! Service was outstanding. I will definitely be back!

Beautiful upscale chain restaurant. Modern American restaurant and lounge with some delicious seafood dishes. It's a good spot for a business dinner or lunch.

My daughter lives here while she attends Nova Southeastern University across the street. It's a great location for anyone working in the vicinity. The apartment is new with high ceilings and luxury amenities. They even have a valet service ($25 a month with your rent) for garbage service; you just put your trash can outside your door during a scheduled window of time several days a week. It seemed extravagant at the time but my daughter says it's been really convenient.

Cons: The pool closes at 10 p.m.

Located in Downtown Jax, the Jacksonville Landing is a perfect mix of restaurants and shops on the water. They host over 500 special events a year too!

BJ's is a good chain serving consistently good meals. The Gainesville location is convenient on Newberry in front of Oaks Mall. Nice variety on their menu.

Cons: Cocktails are ok. Their food is better!

You wouldn't think by the name or the exterior that this place serves delicious Mexican food, but it does! It's a small little hole in the wall in a strip center but it's a hot spot - they're always busy and often have a line waiting.

Cons: Parking is very limited in the front but there is more parking in the back.

This is a luxurious option for dinner and a movie! I am surprised at how much I like the food. It's delicious. I'm a regular and like to bring out of town guests too that aren't familiar with the concept. I love that you can reserve a seat when you purchase your ticket. The seats are roomy and some of the theaters have ottomans. My favorite dishes are the warm goat cheese bread bowl and the wings, but their entrees are good too!

Pros: Good food, comfy seats, and beautiful individual theaters.

Cons: Plenty of parking now in the garages but it looks like Hyde Park is going to metered street parking. That's a shame for all the businesses that are trying to attract customers. Cocktails are delicious but pricey.
