If you are looking for a really GOOD Restaurant, I've heared that the Castaway on Courtney Campell Causeway is excellent.. That's not too far from where you live.. Just take Veterans down to US60 and go West on US60. The Castaway is right at the beginning of the Causeway on the left (South) side..

for another time...
Kelly's For Just About Anything in Dunedin. Sit out back.
Catch 23 in Westchase
Blue Heron on Tampa Rd. - don't eat in the restaurant. Do the Tapas in the bar.
Alberto's in Oldsmar for great Italian and great pizza
If you ever get up to New Port Richey stop at Fitzgeralds. It is a new irish pub on Nebraska right behind the dry cleaners on Main St. From US19 take Main St. Turn right on Grand with a quick left on Nebraska. Will be 1 block on your left. Great beer and great food. A million plasma TVs too.
I am much more a fan of independent restaurants.
