Looking for Thanksgiving dinner recommendations. Upscale (I want the food to be good) but not stodgy. Anyplace with a nice view that you can recommend? Thanks!

Yacht StarShip Dining Cruises

Haven't done it myself, but it looks like a lot of fun. Plus, you'll be out on the water.

Does anyone have personal recommendations? I had found all the newspaper/magazine articles online. Thank you.

Stay away from Bahia Beach Lil Harbor Apollo Beach. Got sick there two Thanksgivings ago. Some customers came in in flip flops, shorts (no dress code) while our party was in suits, ties, etc.

Sunset Grille Lil Harbor




But it depends on where you live. Might help to know in order to get recommendations. I bet the downtown Tampa hotels have some nice offerings (Sheraton, Hyatt).

Some old articles:

Also, a novel idea:

Thanksgiving Dinner Cruise: Leave the fuss and muss ashore as you cruise Tampa Bay and enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with DJ entertainment and cash bar. It's at noon at Yacht StarShip, 603 Channelside Drive, Tampa. $64.95, $29.95 children. (813) 223-7999.

Thanks. I looked at those cruises. Mixed reviews. I want to avoid touristy places. My son lives near the airport but he is young and just goes to bars. : ) We will be visiting. We can drive anywhere.

This looks like it's going all over the state, but they should all be open on Thanksgiving: http://www.opentable.com/promo.aspx?pid=1&m=84

Spinners Rooftop in St Pete Beach. Book your reservation right before dusk as it revolves you can have a view by day and then by night.
