Restaurants1 is a set of restaurant guides for four Florida Gulf Coast cities: Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Naples. Each guide answers one narrow search, like waterfront seafood restaurants in Tampa or dog-friendly Italian restaurants in Sarasota, with a short list of places that fit.
Who makes it
Ben Gutenberg researches and writes every guide on the site. Nothing here is written by anyone else. He reads the menus, checks the hours and the private rooms, and pulls places that close. How restaurants get on and off a list is spelled out on the how we review restaurants page.
The rules
Restaurants cannot pay to be listed, and we do not accept free meals. There is no sponsored content on the site.
What you will find
Guides sorted by setting: rooftop, waterfront, outdoor, private dining, and dog-friendly patios, with cuisine-specific lists inside each. Every guide has a quick-picks table, a handful of questions people ask before booking, and the date it was last checked. Every restaurant entry lists the neighborhood, the price range, the hours, and a dish to order first.
