Great new restaurant replacing Bizou Brasserie in the old courthouse. The word hasn’t spread about this gem yet but it definitely will! A good combination of Latin-inspired menu items, there’s something for everyone. If you’re going for breakfast or brunch, ask for Melissa, she’s the best server.
Make sure you're not in a hurry when you visit. We had a reservation and it wasn't crowded, but we were not seated for a few minutes. The food is incredible. They have a great drink selection. The room is kinda echoey. My cocktail was delicious. The service and atmosphere reminds me of Europe in that it's a laid- back pace, which is a good thing.
The restaurant is currently undergoing renovations, so we didn’t experience the dining room itself, but they had seating in the main part of the hotel. The service was friendly, but a bit slow. I enjoyed the steak panini flavor very much, but it has been left a little too long on the press and the bread was a bit overdone. The fries were great. I would not recommend the ceviche. The “life’s a peach” cocktail was fabulous
My sisters and I made reservations to Bizou this past Sunday in hopes of beginning our girls day with wonderful food and atmosphere. Unfortunately our visit did not start off so great. I will not go into detail because I’d prefer to instead spotlight the positive parts of our visit. In a nutshell, the hostess is not friendly and seemed extremely bothered to even sit us. We were a bit upset as we didn’t feel welcome and we even considered leaving…but then Ryan came to our table and turned our frowns upside down! He was a breathe of fresh air! Simply delightful. Ryan was incredibly attentive and he was so knowledgeable about the history of the building. His positive vibes were exactly what we needed to kick off our girls day. Mr Ryan Henninger is a shining gem for Bizou. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ryan and we hope upper management knows what an asset you are to the restaurant.
This was an interesting place. Located downtown and in a remarkable building. I was wearing a jacket with open shirt but would have felt fine with a tie. The menu is pretty limited but unique. I tried the brazed boar with was cooked to perfection. Fall off the bone and very tender. Presentation was awesome. Overall it was an enjoyable night. I could give a ding for service which was a bit slow. But it was a relaxing night and wasn't in a hurry. Not sure if the menu changes or how often. The location also has a shocked bar, wine section and an ice cream section.
To be honest, my expectations were low, but I was pleasantly surprised. The menu is basic, but, unlike most other hotel restaurants, it’s well-executed. Eating here is not a life-changing experience, but a solid choice if you need something reliable that won’t break the bank.
This is a restaurant in the Meridian hotel in downtown Tampa. We went on a Sunday evening and as expected, the restaurant was not busy. The service was good but would have preferred not to smell the smoke from the server's smoke breaks. The food was delicious but a bit high of a price point.
Great good and service! The chicken croquettes are amazing along with drumettes!
A convenient location to eat if staying in the hotel. The atmosphere was really elegant and quiet. The staff was great and engaged with the customers. The food was delicious and had no complaints with anything we ordered
Not too many vegetarian options. When will restaurants in America realize that they can have their menus, with the protein on the side (unless it's just protein/meat). Design dishes that all can enjoy. This is a kind of exclusion/bias/discrimination against people who are not carnivores.
Great place! We stayed at the hotel and basically came to Sal Rosa everyday. Food and drinks are great. All juices are freshly squeezed. Our bartenders Brett and Sarah were the best too!
Had a drink at the bar and our bartender Sarah was AMAZING! She made my drink EXACTLY to my liking and was super friendly. If you ever get the pleasure of having Sarah as your bartender you’ll be in wonderful hands!
I cannot say enough good things about this place! We found ourself without a venue for a rehearsal dinner 1 hour before it was supposed to start. The Chef and her team at this restaurant came to the rescue even though they had just finished up with another wedding. They were kind, beyond accommodating, and the food was fantastic! I highly recommend this place- a great place to gather, drink, and relax. Thank you again- you saved the day!
First time coming here and Ryan “food and beverage manager” made the entire experience very delightful. Thank you Ryan for stepping in and making our experience so pleasant.
Had breakfast here late on a Friday morning. Place was fairly empty so food was fast and pretty good! If your staying in Le Meridian or nearby it’s not a bad spot to have a quick bite.
