The Scene – This has South Tampa written all over it. Expect to see your regular business-after-hours crowd, Hyde Park hipsters, yuppies and divorcees on the prowl. – – The Food – Dinner is served late and the bar is open until the wee hours of the morning. The chef brings a flair for flavor and presentation to Mangroves' moderate list of appetizers and entrees. Seafood selections are uniquely Florida and Southern in style, including a combination fish dish served with a delicate vanilla and champagne sauce.

Beef tartar so damn good
by sumthom
I can not stop thinking about the truffled beef tartar on bread crisps. Just so damn good. All the food was really nice. I just can not get his appetizer out of my mind. The sushi rolls are huge, I could not finish my meal. Sit in the white room ask for Jason and eat the tartar....get a double order you will be in heaven

Valentines Day was Divine
by pattyleeM78
This was our second Valentines Day Dinner at Mangroves and it was fantastic. 4 courses with such wonderful choices in each course. My husband and I each had a different appetizer so we could share, so we had the crab cake and the shrimp in the pastry with an amazing truffled cream sauce. We did the same for the second course having the soup and the salad. The lobster bisque was so good we wanted more and the waitress gave us a second bowl. For dinner I had the huge Alaskan crab legs with the scallops and my husband had a strip steak with shrimp, both meals were very good and cooked perfectly. We should not have had the second soup, we ended up taking food home. The dessert for two was a warm torte with chocolate oozing out of the center with chocolate covered strawberries. The whole meal and service was just an overall great experience, especailly with a set Valentine Menu on such a busy day.
- Pros: Food and Service
- Cons: We wanted a table in the white room but they could not move us
