Bizou Brasserie

My son (Sam) and I celebrated his 18th birthday here. The food far surpassed expectations! The management was also fantastic. The eclectic ambience of the old courthouse provided a casual experience in a building steeped in meaningful history. The only area of concern was the waiter. His city attitude took away from the overall experience. We all have bad days. We chose to assume that was one for him. I’m positive we will be back. Maybe we will get lucky and have the same waiter assist us. I bet he would knock it out of the park the second go around!

Had a wonderful brunch at the Bizou. Its built in the old Tampa Courthouse and the food was fabulous. Only complaint is that the service was a bit slow but so many places are short-handed these days. Try it!

I'll start with what we were not pleased with. We made reservations for new years after looking over the menu to ensure they would have something to accommodate my dietary restrictions. The menu listed two items. However, when we arrived there was a special New Years menu which did not contain anything I could eat. Luckily the chef was able to make some accommodations and I could have three of the four courses. The food was delicious but I wouldn't say it was worth the nearly $400 we paid for two people. The salad was half a head of lettuce with caramelized onions and a dressing. The rice for the entrée was crunchy. My husband got the duck and the very small pieces were not flavorful at all. The alcohol selection was great though. I had a delicious mixed gin drink and a glass of the best champagne I have ever had at a restaurant. They were clearly short staffed but those working did a great job accommodating us and our waiter was fantastic. The band was incredible. Just keep in mind that when you come you aren't visiting for the food but rather the experience.

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.
