Dine

I've had enough . . .

By CHRIS SHERMAN
Published August 28, 2003

Tap water jokes.

When high-end waiters nudge "Will you have bottled water or St. Petersburg's finest?" I take the latter, Clearwater's and Tampa's too, and save $3 or more on my bill. My preference is when a restaurant fills and chills old wine bottles with tap water and leaves them on the table. Tampa's Spartaco goes one better using hand-painted bottles fill with the elixir of local waterworks. Fine by me.
