Restaurant BT

What really can be said for this long time Tampa icon that hasn't been said many times over? Is it the refined elegance with superb service, which is a rare find these days? Is it the French - Vietnamese inspired menu, which has been honed and revised by Chef/Owner BT Nguyen for decades? Is it the crave -able, satisfying, luxurious plates that are so good you have to struggle to not order the same dish time and time again? Is it the duck burrito, or the beef tartare, tuna sashimi, or even the bouillabausse (which is absurdly rich and good)? In reality - its all of it and more. Over her approximately 30 year span in Tampa, BT has continued to earn the respect and admiration of her clients, peers, and loyal staff, as she continues her humble pursuit of culinary perfection. If you haven't been in awhile, go back. If you go regularly, keep going. If you haven't been yet - what are you waiting for?

The food is fantastic and made of quality, locally sourced ingredients. Highly recommend if you enjoy a delicious meal in a quiet place with great service! A perfect place for a date!

French food here - very tasty. i give this spot two thumbs up. prices are decent for the quality. not close to my job, i wish it was.

We are never disappointed. We have followed BT for more than 22 years and she only gets better. Your experience begins in the parking lot with all the fragrances of fresh herbs and exotic fruit trees. Her outside dinning takes you straight to Asia. The ambiance is wild and serene with a water feature and creative landscapes. It’s hard to eat the food because it’s so beautifully set like a work of art using edible flowers, grasses and herbs for decorations. You want to stare and share your plate. The tastes are equally as artful. She fuses fresh traditional Asian flavors with contemporary recipes. My favorites are tuna tartare and escargot in puff pastry but there are several more delicious choices. It’s simply devine! You take it slow while sipping wine. (Beer and wine only). It’s easy to spend hours here because you never want to leave.

Wonderful! Every time. Creative dishes and outstanding desserts

Always a great presentation. If you want French or if you want Vietnamese you have come to the right place. The bouillabaisse is amazing.

Great restaurant with awesome food and service. The mixture between French cuisine and Vietnamese cuisine is perfect.

My date and I visited just before Thanksgiving. The Bouillabaisse was once of the tastiest I've every eaten. Flavor was rich and creamy and just the perfect amount of salt - which seems to be a difficult thing to achieve for many chefs.I also really enjoyed the Papaya salad. A nice combination of fresh, crisp, salty and sweet. I'll definitely re-visit this restaurant.

I loved the chairs. And food seemed overpriced. Overall delicious thanks.

Wonderful establishment! Food did take a little longer to come out and service was not necessarily the most efficient, but the food was incredible. The drinks and wine were also flawless. Highly recommend!

french food, yeah, awesome. I love this place. This place has an awesome atmosphere. This place has many good reviews for a reason.
