CK's Restaurant

Tampa's Best-Kept Secret. I went to the View this past weekend and had never been before, but I ran into another couple in the elevator on the way up and they commented on how it was the best-kept secret in Tampa. We ended up there early for our reservation but were still seated in just a few minutes at a table right by a window. I definitely recommend getting a window table; otherwise you?re missing the whole point! We were greeted with live entertainment that came and went as you revolved, which was nice because it prevented it from becoming overbearing.



I ordered the lamb and my fiance ordered the ribeye. They both came out relatively quickly but still started out with an assortment of breads with a cheese spread and extremely unique pesto sauce. I don?t care for pesto so I passed on that sauce but my fiance said it was great. The main courses were as excellent as I had hoped, both just fell right off the bones and were complimented by a well though out vegetable assortment. My one regret was not getting a more extravagant desert. Being that the holidays just came by we settled for a berry tray. The fruit was fresh and delicious, but I really should have splurged here. My last remark would have to be on the wine list. As someone who has just recently taken up wine I was a little overwhelmed by the selection and just went with the house pinot noir. I was pleasantly surprised by it and was thankful that even a glass of the house was so enjoyable. I did see a sushi bar but neither one of us care for it so we did not try it but there were plenty of people around it the whole time to lead me to believe that it would have been just as enjoyable as every other aspect of the View. I strongly recommend it whether you?re traveling through or are just a local like me looking for a new place to eat.…
