    We had four different dishes and all were very good - fish florentine, fish marseillaise, duck, and beef bourguignon. Some of the best meals we have had in this area. Service was efficient and unobtrusive, and the restaurant was full but not too noisy. This is the way you want to have a nice dinner out with friends.

    This was the first time I got to experience Boulon Brasserie and it was wonderful. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We ordered the blue crab beignets to start, then enjoyed the Chef special lamb plate and the duck confit. Unfortunately, the duck was a little overcooked for my liking but the flavors were delicious.  The lamb was cooked to perfection.  As a new Tampa native, I was happy to see that there are restaurants that remind me of California the culinary scene. It felt a little like home here and I will definitely be back.

    Really good food prep, especially the mussels special which was perfect — very fresh plump tender mussels in steaming hot delicious garlic wine broth. Only thing keeping it from 5 star overall was barely warm potatoes served with croque monsieur sandwich, which was nicely made and generous on the ingredients, and the barely lukewarm coffee. Outdoor setting on Main Streetis fun and charming but loud. Loud music from across the street, it wasn’t bad, just loud, and noisy motorcycles love trolling the main drag
