    Service was great and food delicious. We had the crab beignets, burger, and snapper. Great place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary.

    Boulon Brasserie should just earn the title “Most overrated restaurant in Tampa”. We got seated 15 minutes after our reservation time, they sat us in the most crowded area with tables to spare. Now the food. Nothing made me say “Wow!” Like some of the other fantastic restaurants in the Bay Area like Ulele for example. We only ordered Bread, Blue crab “beignets” and the Bisque/onion soup. Worst onion soup on the planet. All it was, is cheese and beef broth. Not many onions. The “beignets” were essentially just fritters. Not to mention we waited an HOUR for all of this food and none of it was great. After tip, just these items were $83… Overpriced, Overhyped… 0/10 if I could rate it. Won’t be going back.

    Poor service experience for being fine dining. Server felt rushed and annoyed. She even brought the check without asking when we we considering order more cocktails. Because of the poor service , I give it a 0.

    We enjoyed Boulon and would try it again if we lived in Tampa or visit again. The food was good. My mussels were OK. My husband really enjoyed his hangar steak - it was a perfect rare/medium rare! A martini was on the very small size; we did not comment on it. The rose I had was fine. Service was good, but our table was right next to the service door to one patio - it was distracting and the frequent drifts of hot air were unpleasant. The noise level is high, but ok. All in all, we would give Boulon another shot.

    Kayla was amazing. We had king crab legs, steaks, pasta, lobster bisque, variety of salads, and bread. Everything was hot, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Drinks were also on point. Will definitely go back.

    Thanks to Alex M., our server, and the entire team for a truly wonderful brunch. Every dish — from the escargot and lobster bisque to the steak tartare and French toast — was exceptional. The entire staff contributed to a seamless and thoughtful experience. From the warm welcome at the host stand — where a kind and patient team member helped our friend with mobility challenges get comfortably to the table — to the attentive runners, water refills, and quick clearing, every detail was handled with care. We appreciate everyone and love every visit. See you again soon!
