The Landon Brings Polished American Dining to South Tampa
The elevated new restaurant took over a landmark South Tampa address with a contemporary take on the classics.
A prominent South Tampa corner has a stylish new tenant. The Landon opened in March in the former 717 South space, bringing an elevated American concept to the neighborhood with a polished dining room and contemporary versions of familiar favorites.
The restaurant is part of a busy stretch for Tampa, which has added a run of ambitious new rooms as its downtown and surrounding neighborhoods draw new residents and investment. The Landon's arrival in a well-known location signaled confidence in the city's appetite for higher-end, occasion-worthy dining.
Tampa's steady climb
The opening fit a broader pattern across Tampa Bay, where restaurateurs have been converting landmark addresses into upscale concepts and where Michelin inspectors have increasingly taken notice. For South Tampa regulars, The Landon added another destination to a dining scene that has grown far beyond its old reputation.
