After a slow year in 2024, Tampa Bay restaurants are gearing up for an exciting 2025. Delays in permitting and construction pushed many openings from last year, but now, the restaurant calendar is stacked. With over a dozen new eateries on the horizon, including big names in the local hospitality scene, the year promises a revitalized dining experience for food enthusiasts.
