It definitely started to fill in more by the time we left at 7:15 and there was barely any standing room, so definitely recommend a reservation! We really loved the overall vibe. Great DJ playing, cocktails were good and they had a decent happy hour. The music did continue to get louder as more people filled it, so it was difficult to have a conversation without sitting next to each other. Definitely wasn't what we were expecting considering it feels more like a vibey lounge. We didn't mind it, just were surprised. One thing that was upsetting was when we received our check. We saw on the menu when we first ordered that an automatic 20% gratuity is added to all checks - totally fine by us and we were okay with this. However, when we received our check, the gratuity line was clearly marked through as if it wasn't a part of the total bill and this felt sleezy to us. It already was added and included in the total, so it felt like an intentional way to get people to over tip. We really didn't appreciate that and it left a bad impression on us.

The perfect after dinner dessert pairing: espresso martini & chocolate cake…read more The best espresso martini Milagro resposado tequila ever! Located inside The Edition, the far back hotel bar surrounded by lush green plants. Ordered with a slice of the chocolate ganache cake. Comes with fruit garnish on the side. Entire cake is literally creamy truffle ganache but not as soft as mousse. Tastes just like a huge portion of the inside of a gigantic decadent creamy chocolate truffle ball... the best part of any truffle ball! After spending several hours on a roof top pool, dinner at Boulon with a couple of friends, we meandered here. While I was scarfing down this ganache cake, they were playing a few rounds of pool. The service is professional & spectacular. The interior is like a green plant conservatory, spa vibe scents.

The DJ was the highlight for me. Somehow he mixed urban with techno and it was a little bit of everything for every personality -- I loved it. The food and drinks were my LEAST favorite thing about the place, but I would surprisingly go back on a date or a cute night out with some my boo to enjoy the intimate vibes. This place is EXPENSIVE! $28 for a French 75 -- so correction, the price was my least favorite thing about this place. So along as you have a good budget, you should be good.

Hands down THE MOST IMPRESSIVE TIKI BAR IVE EVER BEEN TO!!!!…read more Ive been a lot of places and been to a lot of bars. I find tiki bars to be the funnest theme of bars. Morgan's Cove is the king of all tiki bars. Its so cool, the entrance to the bar is speakeasy style hidden door. Once you walk in its mind blowing how much detail is put into this place. The theme is sea monsters. The walls have carvings of sea monsters. Theres a leviathan hanging above the bar. Theres a really cool handmade pirate ship in a glass case by the bar. Its all so badass and so well done...just a beautiful bar. Chefs kiss. The drinks are amazing too. I went for a rum event. I had 2 different drinks and tasted all of my friend's drinks. All very delicious and hard hitting. Everyone there was super nice. The crowd the staff, theyre all so nice. I would fly out here just to visit this bar again. I highly highly recommend Morgan's Cove!!!

Locating this establishment was pretty easy. Parking was easier !! I located a space directly in front of the place. They also have parking lots every 1-2 blocks. Anyhoo, we had a 45 minute wait; cool. We sat in the car and people watched until it was our time to shine. Finally it was. Whew the entrance was nice. 1 way in and 1 way out of here !! We were taken to a table near the back. This place was very nicely decorated. We were assisted by Breanna who was pretty awesome and helped us pick our beverages of the evening. GREAT CHOICES!! We ordered... Nui Nui Pandan Killer Gochujang Glazed Wings Everything was well crafted The beverages were a great size, well priced, and well concocted.

The place was hopping and bursting with energy! What a fun place, just down the street from The Asher/Roost. I would definitely come in again, if I'm ever in Tampa!

My husband and I went to Boulon restaurant for a fine dining experience for our 37th wedding…read moreanniversary. The steak was delicious but the lobster looked very strange. Once out of the shell it had a smushed texture it was very odd. The pot pie only had a crust that covered the top no bottom. I would think for $40.00 it would have a pastry bottom. My husband made reservations for our special day. The waitress was excellent she was pulled away from our table to work outside. That was very disappointing and it made our experience unenjoyable. She was running around trying to help everyone, it was obvious she was overwhelmed. They gave us a dessert to share for our anniversary, that was very disappointing and it didn't taste good at all. We paid almost $400.00 for two meals, it would have been nice if they gave us two desserts for our wedding anniversary. We decided to leave early because a group of loud rowdy people came in and sat right beside our table about 15 or 20. They definitely disturbed the relaxing vibe. It definitely did not feel like fine dining, that loud group ruined the atmosphere for everyone else and the manager did nothing. He should have asked them to tone it down. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. * Update - I sent an email to the customer service at Boulon Brasserie. It took a very long time for me to receive a response. I received a follow up email from the General Manager asking me to contact him. I called but was unable to reach him for weeks. He asked me to tell him about my experience. I explained that our lobster didn't taste fresh it was mushy. The seafood pot pie had no flavor at all and it was very disappointing. I had the pleasure of dining in Paris and the food at Boulon Brasserie was not up to par. Also we had an issue with the loud noise of a dinner party that changed the atmosphere. After speaking with Mr. Carlos Robles, General Manager he said he was looking forward to turn me and my husband into an advocate of Boulon Brasserie | 1001 Water St. Mr. Robles sent us a gift card for $100. dollars to return and partake in more fine dining. However with the high prices on the menu, this amount clearly would not cover the cost of two meals. We spent $400 on dinner to celebrate our 37th wedding anniversary and he sent us $100 to make up for our bad experience. Although we appreciate the gesture. I don't feel as if I want to put any more of our money into this endeavor, because clearly we would have to pay additional funds to cover the expenses. It's just not worth it. One bad experience is enough.

It very much has a speakeasy vibe. I got an espresso martini that's only $10 during happy hour. I believe happy hours from 5 PM to 7 PM. In addition to that they have food on happy hour. I opt it for one of the full priced menu items which was the shrimp hummus, and it was very light, flavorful, and the perfect bite. We also had some of the meatballs which were also delicious and served with perfectly toasted bread. I do like coming later in the evening when it's a little busier with more going on. Highly recommend this place for a date night or girls night out or any of the above.

Took my wife here for her birthday and overall we had a great experience. The food was amazing, and…read morethe drinks were really good too. The only disappointment was the seating. We had reservations early in the evening and were seated at a high-top table with stools, even though the restaurant was basically empty. From what I understand, reservations made through Yelp are automatically assigned to that table regardless of how much other seating is available. It was definitely a bummer, especially for a birthday dinner, and the stools became pretty uncomfortable as the evening went on. That said, the food and drinks were good enough that we'd absolutely give this place another try. Hopefully next time we can get a more comfortable table and leave talking about the food instead of our back pain
