Situated on the shores of Old Tampa Bay, Oystercatchers is about as upscale as a fish house can get, having undergone a $4 million renovation. The 35-acre setting in a nature preserve offers some of the area's best views of the bay, and the food is on target in terms of preparation and freshness. Chef Kenny Hunsberger has overhauled the menu, most remarkably with the weekend brunch, an array of luxurious raw bar items, carving stations and traditional breakfast fare. At dinner, fish is the main attraction, the Gulf's finned bounty offered in a variety of preparations and with sophisticated sides (braised bok choy with sesame oil or caramelized fennel). The bar attracts a hip professional crowd with its stylish list of house cocktails and thoughtful wines-by-the-glass program. If mosquitoes are at bay, dine outside on the outdoor patio or deck, and try to plan your visit around sunset when the pinks, purples and oranges of the Florida sun melt into the Bay's shimmering water.
