Fun Restaurant in Tampa bay

My college graduation is coming up in one month and I want to find a nice place for dinner after the ceremony. Someone suggested Armanis in Tampa... any thoughts on that one?

What I would really love to find though is a nice restaurant with good food (and good wines!) and service and maybe some kind of live entertainment. I am going to have my mom and step-mom at the same table for the first time ever and I would like there to be some kind of distraction like live music, show, belly dancing or whatever so that the focus is not on just making conversation. Any ideas much appreciated!

    Definitely go to Byblos(Middle Eastern) - EXCELLENT Food(Lamb, Lebanese-middle Eastern), Service and Atmosphere. You will not be disappointed. Belly Dancing!! In MacDill Avenue just north of Bay to Bay Blvd.

    OR Acropolis Greek Tavernera, again GREAT food, service and atmosphere(and belly dancers, live music). On 7th Avenue and 19th street in Ybor City. The go to Big City Tavern, La Creperia, King Corona or Cafe Denali for coffee and dessert.
