VOTED ONE OF TAMPA'S TOP 10 RESTAURANTS OF 2007
"Cheap offers a tantalizing samplin of small bite
items prepared and presented with understated flair"
- Kurt Loft of Tampa Tribune
"Cheap is a surprisingly good restaurant...
Cheap is a hidden gem"
- Brian Ries of Creative Loafing
"Misnomers aside, Cheap isn’t about cost. It’s
about being another yupscale hangout than carving out
low-priced deliciousness on the culinary landscape. It
is somewhat affordable, much less than you’d spend
other nearby restaurants.
Owned by the poobahs o’ swank behind Hyde Park Cafe,
Kennedy and Whiskey Park clubs, Cheap occupies the old
brick Cappy’s space next to Dubliner. It offers
upwardly mobile Tampa peeps a fun but sexy twist on
munchies and mingling. The food has flair and there’s
plenty of eye candy between portions."
- Julie Garisto (Metromix October 29, 2008)
"The menu was a very good mix of small plates...and they were all phenomenal."
- Michael B on Yelp.com
"The chicken liver pâté with the onion jam and
homeade champagne crackers ($5) was the smoothest pâté
I've ever enjoyed! The graham cracker calamari with
sweet thai dipping sauce was tender and nice to start
with as well. Definitely try their strawberry
champagne sangria made at your table. Soooo good!"
- Marianna on Chow.com
FANTASIA DE CRUDO

TUNA TIRADITO
chili slices and jicama slaw.

"Chili slices and jicama slaw add flavor and contrast to the
tuna tiradito at the new restaurant Cheap.."
(TBT Review 2007/Times photo: Chris Zuppa)
"The décor is a mish-mash of roadhouse,
tattoo-parlor and hipster honky-tonk themes, tasteful
but with subtle touches of whimsy, like booths made from
old automobile bench seats and light fixtures cut from
gin and wine bottles. The service combines the
stereotypical beautiful people of SoHo with practiced
experience drawn from Ortiz's other operations."
(Creative Loafing Magazine 2007 review)
