Beautifully restored Tampa Water Works building has become a restaurant featuring fresh Florida inspired ingredients, such as seafood, steak and pork. Right on the edge of a picturesque park and at the very end of the Tampa Riverwalk. Take a drink to go and walk along the Hillsborough River towards downtown when you're done dining.
