813-251-2421 | | | | | Description: SOHO. Perhaps Tampa's best-known restaurant, this venerable steak house is legendary for its impeccable service, top-quality food, and incredible attention to detail. Guests rave about the aged, charcoal-grilled steaks, which are ordered according to weight and thickness. Each comes with a salad, onion soup, baked potato, garlic toast, onion rings, and organic vegetables, so make sure your appetite is substantial. Chicken, seafood and even a vegetarian option are available. The wine list offers 7000 vintages, and there are more than 20 caviars available. Numerous desserts and after-dinner drinks, as well as dancing, are offered in the Henry Waugh room once you have finished dinner. With that much territory, you'd think there would be room for fault. Perhaps but you'd be hard-pressed to find it. Jacket and tie and reservations are required.

Other choices include broiled lobster, grilled swordfish jardinière, and seared salmon with mustard sauce. The wine list ups the ante with more than 400 choices from Europe, South America and the US.

Even the menu, painted on a regulation football, is a nod to the sport. Shula's Cut is the steak of choice; popular cuts include filet mignon, New York strip and top sirloin. Lobster is also in high demand, and you can choose it, along with other items, from the cart that the servers wheel to your table. The meats are substantial, so you may not need anything else, but if you do opt for a side dish, realize that everything is priced individually, including salads and potatoes. If you're a big eater, you might want to tackle the 48-oz. porterhouse and try to add your name to the restaurant's list of victors.
