Creative Loafing’s annual Food Issue hits stands on June 15th, and to celebrate, they’re hosting its 17th annual Tampa Bay Restaurant Week. Prescription Vineyards kicks off the extended week on the 15th with its 3rd Annual ‘Friday-Eve Live’ showcase featuring two-time Grammy Winner Marlow Rosado at the Epicurean Hotel. NOTE: for 2023, we’re moving inside to the Epicurean’s beautiful Ball Room – apologies for uninviting Tampa’s June heat and rain. 😉
The evening’s bites are hosted by Executive Chef Jonathan Atanacio of Élevage. Of note, it’s become a tradition with ‘Friday-Eve Live’ to book a post-event dinner reservation. Last year the restaurant was fully booked the evening of the event, so we recommend being proactive and book your table now!
For the 10-day Restaurant Week, participating Tampa Bay area restaurants will offer multiple-course prix fixe menus and exclusive pricing drink specials, and more. Many restaurants, including Élevage, will feature Prescription Vineyards by the glass!
To take advantage of Restaurant Week, all you have to do is ask for the Tampa Bay Restaurant Week menu. A portion of proceeds benefits Feeding Tampa Bay.

Enhanced by notes of chervil, oregano, and chamomile, a luscious lemon meringue eeks out at mid-palate. Crushed stone, white pepper and vibrant minerality – plus that spark of acidity – is just the right Rx for its great food-pairing abilities. 92
>>> Publisher’s Picks
Lloyd Cellars 2020 Chardonnay, Carneros ($40)
Creamy notes of toasted vanilla, with a surge of cookie dough, ripe melon, kiwi, and peanut brittle. The wine caresses with a sumptuous touch. 94
>>> Down the Aisle
Prescription Cellars 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County ($30)
Grainy tannins fulfill a mission to coat the teeth with blueberry compote. The gushing, dynamo of a wine features plump plums, powdered cocoa, and blooming lavender. This Prescription is really an over-the-counter cure for disbelievers of Alexander Valley’s side effect of textural lushness. Winemaker Rob Lloyd over-delivers on some amazing medicine for the soul. 93
>>> Publisher’s Picks Section
Lloyd Cellars by Robert Lloyd 2019 Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara County ($50)
Its carmine hue is deep and inviting, and scents of heather and a woodsy forest are sensual. Full and generous with a lather of huckleberry and dark chocolate coffee bean. Layers of tilled soil and dried flowers keep it exciting and complex. The brown-sugared cinnamon finish goes deep on the finish. 94
