Restaurants near House at 132 Baltic Circle

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with my closest friends and family. And all I can say is the Nawlins oysters and shrimp and grits were amazing.  we were there during a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game and the Channelside district was bustling with people and yet we were still able to enjoy our conversations and each other’s company over amazing food. Would definitely recommend this place!

Decorated in holiday garnish, the decor was tasteful and festive. We were seated quickly in a window side table great for people watching, and there is plenty of that. We were pre-game for the arena which is just across the street and Simon attended to our every need, but we were never rushed. The menu is not vast but there are plenty of great options and all were delivered timely. The bar is full and busy. And although we only ordered wine, (their list is loaded with great french wine options!) Plenty of cocktails were delivered to tables all around us and none were returned to the bar. We each had a salad with added protein and both of us had soup, he the bisque, me the French Onion soup. All excellent and a full meal. But the french onion soup was extraordinary. Loaded with cheese topping, loaded with onion, hot but edible and fabulous bouillon. A stand out course that exceeded expectations. Reservations are a must as this restaurant is a hot ticket in a high traffic area. The arena is booked virtually every night. But it is moderately priced, service was great and food and beverages were excellent! Noisy, but part of the ambiance in a busy, bustling place.

Always stellar quality. The steak was perfection. A number of the brunch Salads are perfect portions for a started. The fall and winter months afford the outdoor seating opportunity. Only downside - the high table seats are awkward and do not adjust in and out easily, and the way the seats are made make it feel a little tight. (and we are a slender group). Maybe ask to sit in the lower tables if you have kiddos with you. Service 10/10, food 10/10. They stay consistent which is key.

We sat outside and staff turned on a heater near us. The meals were excellent and the service was wonderful. First time and will definitely be returning!

Our wait staff was great. Savana was excellent! Good recommendations, friendly and attentive! We have a family member who eats vegetarian and he loved the stuffed portobello. Our meals were delicious. Outdoor ambience was perfect. Could not have been better. Shared ice cream dessert of coconut and espresso chocolate was wonderful! Thank you for such a lovely holiday dining experience!
