Best International Restaurants in Tarpon Springs

The service was amazing, outstanding food and drinks!

First time visiting Ash. We came for an early dinner before a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game. The restaurant is right across the street from the stadium. Traffic patterns are modified about 2 hours before game time, but they do offer validation in a lot near by (which was $45…not sure how much they cover of that). We found street parking a block from Ash. The atmosphere is nice. High ceilings, bar seating which was full, several tables along the window, and some larger tables in back. Also they offer outside seating. I wasn’t sure how “fancy” this place might be, but I was comfortable in nice jeans and button down shirt. Casual clothes are fine here. In fact, I’ve yet to find a “special occasion” place in Tampa (maybe Bern’s?) where you really have to up your attire game. Everyone was very friendly. Numerous staff were involved in serving us. Everyone was attentive and it was a team effort. Great service overall. The cocktails were creative and tasty. The food is certainly elevated and is served as small plates meant to be shared. “Small” doesn’t equal tiny tapas plates here. We got 4 items between the two of us and it was the perfect amount. The fresh fish (snapper) was simple but done to perfection. The vegetables served with it were amazingly fresh and very tasty. Don’t hesitate to get the eggplant (trust me) or the chicken cutlet (table next to us had it). The pasta was a highlight…fresh and just good tasting. Wine list had really nice options, and the waiter recommendations were perfect. No complaints. It was lively and I’d be interested in seeing how the atmosphere is on a “regular” non game night. Regardless, we will be back for the food. Highly recommend.

Thank you Annie for being such a gem. You make our night every time and we are so grateful for you and your service. Thank you !! 🩵

First time dining here, but it definitely won’t be the last! Service and food were awesome!

Ate dinner here twice and it was amazing. The bartender/server was outstanding. I wish I could remember her name. She remembered our orders from the first time. She is great. The food was very good. When we are back in Tampa we will definitely eat here again.
