Real "girlie" places for lunch in Tampa Bay area

Hey Guys & Gals:

Can you please recommend a few real "girlie" places in the Tampa Bay area - you know, the kind of places where "middle aged" women yak more than they eat - but food should be good also. Thamks.

  1. I tend to enjoy the back deck of The Wine Exchange in Hyde Park. The crab stacker is TASTY!

      No, maybe we should try; thanks.

    2. It's a little bit of a drive north, but have you ever been to Lunch on Limoges in Dade City? It's lovely.

      2. I'm a guy, and I love the Wine Exchange in Hyde Park Village for dinner. But the few times I've stopped in for lunch, especially during the week, the place is dominated by women taking a break from shopping. The food is excellent, and always changing.

        1. Wine Exchange, definitely. Byblos, on MacDill near Bay to Bay. Pane Rustica, also on MacDill, attracts everyone for lunch. Delizie, which is much quieter but has a limited menu.
