AMAZING!! I've been many times and every time is an awesome experience but this time was truly exceptional. My family and I have food allergies - and my mom is on a very restrictive diet for health reasons. Our server Devon was incredible, so kind and patient and the executive chef Olivia came out and talked to us twice. They were able to custom make something for my mom and even used the oil she had brought with her! Truly a 5 star experience. The food was fabulous as always but the service was TRULY next level. It's also jus such a fun spot - great energy and vibe. Could not recommend more highly. Especially to anyone gluten free - these guys do SO much GF and they do it well! Very special to find so many deep fried delicacies gluten free as well. I've only had delicious food every time - my special faves though are the deviled eggs, parmesan clams and the fish and chips. Idk what they do to their fries but they are fluffy and crispy and so flavorful. Must go! You won't be sorry.

Wonderful service and delicious food! The hot chicken starter was the highlight of the night for us and the service helped to make our evening lovely. We especially appreciated that the restaurant wasn’t too loud as most are in Tampa, which allowed us to have conversation without feeling like we were having to yell. Definitely will be back!

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.

What an experience! Walked up to this basic square building kind of in the middle of nowhere in downtown Tampa. When we walked in it was anything but basic. We were seated along a long rectangular bar next to other couples but with enough space to still feel intimate. Unbeknownst to us, we were served and greeted by Chef Ebbe throughout our dinner! Dishes were unique. I can’t describe them but they tasted expensive. The whole experience was just so unique and it’s just another level of coolness when the head chef is interacting with you the whole time. Wines, food dessert were on par with other fine dining establishments but the experience was second to none one. Went there for my wife’s bday. If you email the chef 48 hrs before, he will make and change the menu to cater to your tastes and allergies like he did with my wife being a vegetarian. I can’t wait to go back. We did discovery but wished we did the higher level one.
