Being Gulf-adjacent does have its perks, and a handful of Tampa Bay eateries are getting some national shine for their picturesque views.

Reservation site OpenTable recently unveiled their “100 Most Scenic Restaurants in America” and a few Tampa Bay spots made the cut, including Tampa’s Ulele, Bon Appetit in Dunedin, Columbia Restaurant-SandKey in Clearwater, and Salt Rock Grill in Indian Rocks Beach. 

The list was based on an “analysis of 12,000,000+ reviews of more than 30,000 restaurants across the country—all submitted by verified diners,” says OpenTable. 

Other somewhat nearby restaurants included on OpenTable’s list were Dry Dock Waterfront Grill in Longboat Key, The Crow’s Nest in Venice, and The Boat House in Orlando’s Disney Springs. Overall, Florida was well represented, with a total of 15 restaurants, second only to California’s 24.
