Last issue, I ran down my Top-25 dining favorites in Wesley
Chapel for you, so this issue, I’m going to give you my Top-25 dining

— other than you now have some interesting restaurants to read
about while we’re sheltering in place — as several of the eateries
listed on pages 22-25 of this issue had closed, at least temporarily,
rather than be open for takeout and delivery only, per Florida

Sadly, there’s no doubt that some on this list may not be able to

of this situation, however, please support as many of the still-open

I’m glad I got to sit down to a perfectly seared ahi tuna appetizer,
a tender medium-rare filet, and a flavorful grouper piccata at my (and
our readers’) favorite restaurant in New Tampa — Stonewood Grill &
Tavern in Tampa Palms — shortly before DeSantis gave his order.
