Big Bamboo Bayside

"Absolutely fantastic food. I got the Cuban with seasoned fries, the chicken salad wrap with yogurt parfait, and a Hawaiian pizza. Yes it was all just for me, I had to pull an all nighter to study for a board exam, don't judge. Each one of those were delicious in their own way. Cuban was incredibly savory, and the fries were crispy. I used the yogurt parfait as sauce for the chicken salad wrap and I was doing a happy dance in my seat while eating sweet chicken combo, don't knock it until you try it! Hawaiian pizza had some big chunks of pineapple and ham with a crispy and soft dough. If I had stayed in Tampa more I would have tried more from their menu, but the ones I had each knocked it out of the park. Will definitely go again if I'm in the area."

"We love this bar/restaurant so much we end up eating here for more than half of our meals while we stay at Sailport. You can't beat the friendly/helpful bartenders, the beautiful bay views, the sunset drink special, and--of course--the great food. (Shout out to Shelly for help with local attractions and Nicole for career and neighborhood advice.) We will be back."

"Unexpectedly good food for lunch. There is a mandatory 20% tip on orders. Cute little shaded eating area with tables and bar area that overlook the pool. There can be a bit of a party atmosphere in the pool area that is not always family friendly as the language can be quite coarse at certain times of the day. The food and service however are quite good."

"This is the perfect spot to grab some food and drinks. Watch the sunset and enjoy! Be mindful this has patrons and guests of Sailport Hotel and Suites - people stay here and live here part time. Don’t be rude or crude to others. Let people enjoy their vacations. The bartender, Nicole, was absolutely amazing! She was kind and helpful, and even with a mad rush at 930pm she held her cool. Impressive! Drinks are average price and well made to order. Will return!"

"This poolside cafe is a hidden gem. Although it’s on the Sailport property, it is open to the public. The staff are incredibly friendly and hard-working. Great atmosphere. Love seeing regulars greeted with love. We had the chips and salsa, add guacamole. The salsa was okay, but the guacamole was tasty. Had the Caribbean Jerk tacos-so good, but yes they are spicy! Tropical burger and fries delicious. Had the conch fritters. Delicious. Also get the fruit cup side. Great value with a good mix of fruits. Breakfast- we had the bagel sandwich and the breakfast burrito. Really good."
