I fell in love with this place the minute I saw their dock, pictured at right.
Cafe Dufrain is on Harbor Island, in Tampa. On a calm day, I can put my 20 foot Baja Islander in the water at the Gandy boat ramp, and, running at 35 MPH all the way, make the 15 mile or so trip in about a half an hour.
(I love Baja Boats
. Thunder Marine in St. Pete has the franchise, and they will treat you like you're royalty. )
The restaurant itself has a Disney World Feel to it. By that, I mean, it's got that clean, architectural style both in the landscaping and building that is so prevalent in and around Mouse Land. The food, is mostly light, refreshing, healthy, and mildly fancy. Classy is a great word for Cafe Dufrain, but not necessarily Pricey.

On most Saturday afternoon trips with my wife, and 11 year old son, we spend around 50 bucks. Three meals, a couple of cocktails, and smiling faces.
