With its gorgeous views of Hillsborough Bay, this longtime restaurant has been serving seafood to Tampa's well-off for as long as most people can remember. The property has been in the Whiteside family for more than 100 years, through five generations, each one adding to the long menu. Some dishes are homey (cornflake-coated grouper), others just odd (Cokes served with an olive), but everyone agrees that the window seats are prime downtown real estate.
