220 East - American restaurant in Tampa - 220 E Davis Blvd, USA

Nice little spot for lunch. They have a pretty diverse menu, something for everyone. The food was fresh and tasty. Service was also great

Went on a recommendation from a friend. We were greeted by the hostess at the door with their specials listed at the front desk. The waitress Nikki (?) and Renee were attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and great outgoing personalities! I ordered the Drunken Shrimp, a bowl of the French Onion Soup, Field of Fruit with Blackened Salmon, and my friend ordered the Lunch Asian Chicken Salad. The Drunken Shrimp's sauce was creamy and the right texture. We both wished it had more Sriracha in the flavor side of it because it lacked that warm spicy kick. The French Onion Soup was excellent and I could have had another bowl easily! The Field of Fruit With Blackened Salmon was mixed with great components that blended well together! Again, the only challenge was the salmon lacked that spiciness of the Blackened flavor. Otherwise it was cooked to perfection! My friend loved his Lunch Asian Chicken Salad. It is his "go to" when he eats at 220. A great dining experience and excellent staff! Definitely worth a try if you are near Davis Island!

I have been dining here for over 20 years, and can honestly say, I've never had any complaints.....until today. Went in to meet a friend for a late lunch (after 1 pm). The place wasn't busy, the lunch crowd was mostly gone. I asked for my usual, which I always get because it's my favorite - Fish and chips. Love it. Except I ask that the chips get swapped for onion rings. NEVER been an issue. Til today. For whatever reason. So I had to sit and watch my friend eat while I had a glass of tea because the cook didn't feel like making my onion rings today, and our server seemed to have an attitude about it because I told her I've been getting onion rings every time for many years and I asked her to just check with the chef. So, 220 East has lost a long-time customer today. Very unfortunate for me, this is the ONE place in town that I would eat fish.

Excellent dinner option. I ordered the Chicken Thai Cobb salad. It was fantastic and was satisfied with just that. Others in my party ordered a burger and blacked salmon. Both of those were delicious as well, as I sampled. Staff is friendly, dress is nice casual, prices are fair.

Being in hospitality for 10+ years, the owner needs to just sit and look around. Sit at a table by the window and just look… this place is filthy. Lack of pride in front of house only can say what the kitchen looks like. Walked right out without ordering anything, due to my dirty surroundings and my coffee cup also dirty. Attention to detail is everything these days, especially with so many good places to go eat nearby.

Even though it's under new ownership, it's absolutely the same old place and we still have Nui cooking the amazing dishes he developed in the kitchen. Don't be afraid to ask for off menu items. Some of our favorites from the last 25 years are no longer on the menu but they are certainly there if you ask! Maybe our favorite place in Tampa Bay

I have been here for dinner on several occasions, and only once have I had good service. After last night of getting served my drinks, that was the last time I saw my waitress until I was ready to leave. Couldn’t get a second glass of anything to drink with my meal.
