Three Oaks Hospitality, the celebrated group behind Tampa’s iconic dining spots like Steelbach and Ro, has unveiled a new culinary treasure. Located at 601 S Harbour Island Blvd, the newly opened “Lower Deck” offers a one-of-a-kind waterfront experience. As the latest addition to Harbour Island’s Pointe, this restaurant blends a relaxed ambiance with vibrant energy, setting the stage for breathtaking marina views, expertly crafted cocktails, and immersive live music. The news comes via a press release from Evolve & Co.

A Dining Experience Inspired by Stones Throw

Taking cues from its sister venue, Stones Throw, Lower Deck provides a seamless fusion of laid-back charm and sophisticated offerings. The venue’s prime waterfront location is complemented by a thoughtfully designed menu curated by Executive Chef Matt Mangone. Whether indulging in fresh raw oysters or savoring the Shrimp Scampi Toast, every bite reflects the vibrant spirit of Tampa Bay.

An Irresistible Menu for Every Palate

The menu at Lower Deck caters to diverse tastes, offering everything from casual handhelds to refined seafood options. Chef Mangone’s expertise shines through in every dish. Notable highlights include:

  • Meatball Parmesan Sliders: “Nona’s Meatballs” paired with Pomodoro sauce, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and house-made garlic knots.
  • LD Smash Burger: Smashed burger with homemade sauce, pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes, served on a potato roll. (Pro tip: Add bacon!)
  • Shrimp Scampi Toast: A medley of shrimp cooked in garlic butter and wine sauce, with heirloom tomatoes on house-made toast.

Each dish is crafted to elevate casual dining into a memorable culinary journey.

Sips by the Sea: Signature Cocktails

Lower Deck takes waterfront relaxation to the next level with its signature cocktail offerings. Must-try drinks include:

  • No Wake Zone: A tantalizing mix of Astral Blanco Tequila, Dolin Vermouth, Crème de Violette, and fresh lime.
  • The Floor Is Guava: A tropical blend of Papas Pilar Blonde Rum, Copalli White Rum, guava juice, and coconut for a true island vibe.

Pair these expertly crafted cocktails with the stunning views for an unforgettable evening.
