    Meat Market is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you know you're in for a treat. The happy hour is fantastic – a perfect blend of delightful cocktails and an ambiance that's both vibrant and relaxing. **Ambiance:** The weather couldn't be better for sitting in the garden. Whether you're there for a casual hangout or a special occasion, the outdoor seating makes for an exceptional experience. **Drinks:** The cocktails are top-notch, crafted with precision and creativity. The happy hour menu offers a great selection, ensuring there's something for everyone. **Food:** The highlight, however, has to be the food. The tuna tartare nachos are a must-try; they're fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The king salmon roll is another standout, with its perfect balance of taste and texture. Both dishes are highly recommended and exemplify the quality and care put into the menu.

    This was the first time I got to experience Boulon Brasserie and it was wonderful. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We ordered the blue crab beignets to start, then enjoyed the Chef special lamb plate and the duck confit. Unfortunately, the duck was a little overcooked for my liking but the flavors were delicious.  The lamb was cooked to perfection.  As a new Tampa native, I was happy to see that there are restaurants that remind me of California the culinary scene. It felt a little like home here and I will definitely be back.
