100% top 5 places in the surrounding areas to dine at. All of the ingredients are curated carefully in which each bite bursts out unique flavors. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who has an open mind and well rounded palate.
I just don't understand why people fight to get into restaurants that are so very clearly inferior to this one, when they have availability here. This is a fantastic place. Please stop eating standard steak and pasta every night. Come here and expand your flavor palate with a mix of Vietnamese and French cuisine. Share everything so you can really appreciate the offerings. And the decor is lovely. We sat on the back patio surrounded by orchids, bamboo and water features. Service was impeccable. Please don't be scared to expand your culinary experiences and come here now!
We came here for my wife’s birthday after she had expressed interest for several months. Our waiter Chris was excellent, and jumped in with our silly banter. The layout of the restaurant is a bit unusual. We entered through what we thought was the main entrance and walked right through a part of the kitchen. As a small restaurant owner that would drive me insane, but no biggie. The decor is nice given what they’re having to work with. Now, onto the food; presentation was good, and most of the dishes were very tasty, unusual, but tasty. Definitely misses a lot of the Vietnamese flavor profiles, but the dishes are still excellent. We all enjoyed the Pumpkin soup, the Tuna tartare with Rice chips, sushi rolls, Duck burritos, Calamari Relleno, Yellowfish, Noodles with Prawns, some kind of a steak bento box, and the Foie Gras. The Foie Gras was paired with roasted Duck leg, and was some of the best Foie Gras I’ve ever eaten. For dessert they brought out a birthday treat for the wife, and we also tried the crossiant bread pudding, and another dish that I don’t recall the name of. Yes, there’s sticker shock from the elevated price point, but if you’re looking for a quiet spot to dine with friends and eat a unique take on traditional foods, this is a good spot.
BT has been called the "Godmother" of Tampa fine dining and for good reason. It's been a few years since dining in her landmark location and things have changed yet stayed the same. Love the new look in the dining room, the curtains create an allure of private and fancy experience I've only seen done at Ciro's. Such an elegant touch when you walk through the place. Service is prompt yet never rushed. We started with a Burgundy red because a meal of this level deserves a wine to match! The wine list is extensive and covers the bases for any true wine lover. We had the great honor of sitting in the smaller back room next to Chef BT. We were worried about bringing our 4month old to dinner but she welcomed him during the Friday 8pm dinner rush! The pace of dinner was amazing, plenty of time to enjoy our wine and enjoy the date out with my wife. Food was incredible- specially the soup and the duck!
FUSION AT ITS FINEST! the French and Vietnamese fusion has been around for a century now. I will say BT really nails it. You can really taste the Vietnamese dishes with touches of French flavor. A few favorites of the night consisted of the escargot, hog fish special, and the to-die-for croissant bread pudding topped with ice cream. Wow was the dessert amazing!
Signed up for the tasting menu with wine tasting. Great experience with excellent food. Everyone was well versed in the food and techniques used. One of the best meals in Tampa. Will be back for food, service and experience
Restaurant BT was definitely worth the splurge! It's a Vietnamese-French fine dining exerience, and the flavors were unique and amazing. Service was attentive and not pretentious. Beautiful space for a romantic, foodie night out or elevated adult gathering. Definitely call for a reservation, online reservation system is not always up to date.
It's a great place for a romantic date. The full experience was 5 stars. We both ordered saketinis, and we adored our flavors. My cucumber mint was delightful and my husband had the lychee mint. We started with the special appetizer, King salmon, and fresh coconut poke 🥥. The presentation was fantastic it was served in half a fresh coconut. We had the beef tartar which had a unique twist and elevated the traditional dish to another level. Last, we shared the duck duck goose entree. I was craving foie gras, and it did not disappoint. The staff made the whole experience memorable. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary and they really made it a special night. Son was our server/bartender (Please forgive if I misspelled her name), and she was very knowledgeable and pleasant. A restaurant should feel like a home, and the guests should be treated as guests of that home, and this would be nothing short of that experience.
My first time here had a great experience. Very friendly staff they were very accommodating and informative on their menu and took time to explain and recommend certain items. The atmosphere was very laid back and had some nice background music playi
The bowl of Bun Bo Hue I had was a true delight â the rich, aromatic broth and tender beef slices created a harmonious symphony of flavors. Paired with freshly squeezed cup of sugar cane juice, it provided a refreshing touch. A culinary experience
For someone who works in Downtown, this is the closest to a home cooked meal as you can get. The food is amazing. I have had almost everything on the menu from the noodles, to the rice bowl, and the pho. Itâs all very yummy! The service is great to
Great experience. Restaurant was very clean and quiet, we arrived about an hour before closing. Broth is fatty and extremely fragrant which is what I look for in a great bowl of Pho, when the fat from the broth coats your lips CHEFFY KISS. Started

Gracie Martial Arts Tampa, led by Emiliano, is an exceptional place to learn the original and modern forms of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Having had the opportunity to compare it with other noteworthy schools, I found that this one particularly appeals to me.
