I also like Jackson's in downtown Tampa. <a href="http://www.jacksonsbistro.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jacksonsbistro.com/</a> It's not as nice as Bern's, but a fun, upscale atmosphere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1570203 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:31:02 +0000 Mommy Finger 1570203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunshineandsushi: We have another friend in Tampa so she goes every once in awhile. Obviously closer to home is more convenient but if there is something awesome in Tampa, I'm sure she'd be happy to travel. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1570191 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 13:25:35 +0000 sunshineandsushi 1570191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: Does she get up to Tampa much? Or would something more local to Lakewood Ranch be more useful/beneficial to her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1570098 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:46:25 +0000 pinkb 1570098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How awesome of her! I think the Ritz would be nice or The Longboat Key Club Spa, I have heard great things about both places. There is also a dinner/sunset cruise at Marina Jacks that is nice. Lots of great restaurants also! Euphemia Haye, Selva Grill, Ruths Chris, Hyde Park Prime Steakhouse, Pacific Rim, Ophelia's. If you wanted to do like a brunch/ spa day, The Breakfast House and C'est la Vie are favorites here for brunch. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1570091 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 12:44:50 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1570091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is in Tampa, but it is incredible. When I lived in Tampa, it was the best indulgence. </p> <p><a href="http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/Harry-Waugh-Dessert-Room" rel="nofollow">http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/Harry-Waugh-Dessert-Room</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1569949 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 11:59:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1569949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't live there but wow - what an amazing friend!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sarasotatampa-bees-i-need-your-help#post-1569927 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 11:47:12 +0000 Mommy Finger 1569927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wasn't quite sure what board to put this on but figured that this might be the best one? </p> <p>My amazing BFF lives in Lakewood Ranch and is flying up very soon to watch my 17 mo DS for 5 days while DH and I head to Mexico for my little brother's wedding. I need help in trying to figure out a way to properly thank her for essentially taking vacation and using her miles to come up so that we can go on a vacation. I was thinking that maybe a gift certificate for a spa day or a really nice restaurant would be a great start. I was hoping you could help suggest some places that are really nice in the Sarasota area. I see that there is a Ritz Carlton. Have you heard good things about the spa? I really appreciate your help! </p>
