Best Cozy Restaurants in Gibsonton

I had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday here with my closest friends and family. And all I can say is the Nawlins oysters and shrimp and grits were amazing.  we were there during a Tampa Bay Lightning hockey game and the Channelside district was bustling with people and yet we were still able to enjoy our conversations and each other’s company over amazing food. Would definitely recommend this place!

I reserved Bouzy for my birthday, and it was the best experience! The DJ was incredible, playing great music all night, and the service was absolutely on point. The atmosphere was unforgettable, and I’m so glad I chose to celebrate such a special occasion there. Highly recommend!

Decorated in holiday garnish, the decor was tasteful and festive. We were seated quickly in a window side table great for people watching, and there is plenty of that. We were pre-game for the arena which is just across the street and Simon attended to our every need, but we were never rushed. The menu is not vast but there are plenty of great options and all were delivered timely. The bar is full and busy. And although we only ordered wine, (their list is loaded with great french wine options!) Plenty of cocktails were delivered to tables all around us and none were returned to the bar. We each had a salad with added protein and both of us had soup, he the bisque, me the French Onion soup. All excellent and a full meal. But the french onion soup was extraordinary. Loaded with cheese topping, loaded with onion, hot but edible and fabulous bouillon. A stand out course that exceeded expectations. Reservations are a must as this restaurant is a hot ticket in a high traffic area. The arena is booked virtually every night. But it is moderately priced, service was great and food and beverages were excellent! Noisy, but part of the ambiance in a busy, bustling place.

We ordered grilled octopus, schnitzel, steaks…all of them were absolutely amazing.

A pretty cool place with old items from the courthouse weaved into the decor. Jorge our server was super cool. I had the chicken and waffles which was unique but just ok. My friends had more traditional brunch items and liked their dishes. I would go back for dinner and the ambience.
