Frommer's Review

Although this restaurant is a chain, with an additional location in Fort Lauderdale, Ybor City's Big City Tavern takes the prize for best decor: It's housed in a converted ballroom and features columns, floor-to-ceiling windows, and wrought-iron balconies. The food's pretty good, too, especially the roasted duck with mango and basil risotto. The bar scene is a people-watching paradise in which a youngish, well-heeled, hip clientele gathers to trade tales of life in the big city.
