Four new food and drink concepts signed leases recently at Water Street Tampa.
- The most interesting newcomer is The Pearl, a restaurant, tavern and oyster room from Cameron Mitchell Restaurants, the company behind Ocean Prime.
- Opening in fall 2022 on the ground floor of residential tower Heron, it will feature seasonal oysters, clams and shrimp.
Other newcomers: Hampton Chocolate Factory, an artisan chocolate and dessert shop founded in the Hamptons, will open its flagship store at Sparkman Wharf.
- Two others — Wine on Water, a wine and liquor store, and Small Giant Bar & Restaurant, a hang-out with "Ohio-style pizza," join Chill Bros. ice cream shop to fill out the ground floor of residential tower Cora, which has started welcoming residents.
💭 Ben's thought bubble: "Ohio-style" pizza? Too-thin pizza cut in those little squares? (OK, yes, it's a thing, and St. Pete may have beaten Tampa to get it.)
