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.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
