VENUE 2106 – American
An upscale Tampa lounge on West Main where the soundtrack is the concept: a live band on Fridays, R&B covers, dinner with an artist midweek, and a dress code to match. Every plate is named for a soul legend — the Stevie Wonder seafood dip baked with crab, shrimp and scallops; Luther Vandross seafood pasta in cajun alfredo; Chaka Khan strawberry-glazed wings; Rick James brisket fries; Sheila E. blackened salmon. Dollar wings on Wednesdays, and the kitchen runs late. Guests rave about the food and the energy, and warn that the volume climbs. Dress up.
