Meat Market Steakhouse Tampa

Angel and Marcus always deliver! Their service is exceptional and we truly enjoy our time that we spend dining with them. The food is delicious (they are so helpful with our gluten allergy) and this is our go to spot for special occasions. Thank you for making my dad’s birthday celebration a special one!

The decor is slightly art deco with clean lines and extravagant fixtures. I was impressed by the server’s attentiveness while not being overly intrusive. We started with a hot tea which was served with a lovely hot carafe and double walled cup to keep it warm. The rock sugar stirrer was a nice touch. I opted for the honey which didn’t come with a spoon, so that was less than perfect but was rectified easily by the server’s assistant. She was great at making sure water was replenished and napkins were folded when one of our guests used the ladies room. Their website describes a very strict dress policy, but it was not as strict as it says. If you are dressed nicely, you can get away with open toe sandals or heels. I had on sandals and my daughter had on sneakers without issue. This was lunch however, and dinner is more strict. We started with the steak and humus appetizer which was deliciously garlicky! My daughter, who eats 100% clean and gluten free, had an easy time ordering a plain salmon with greens. It was perfect. The Wagyu beef ribs were also very good. The Asian noodle salad was not as flavorful as I would have liked, but still fresh and tasty. The warm chocolate chip cookies with ice cream was a decadent dessert after a lunch of salad! When dining in an upscale restaurant I rarely ask for a “to go” box because it can feel gauche, but I also hate wasting food. I was delighted to learn they package your leftovers for you and deliver it to your table in an elegant bag so you can feel good about enjoying the rest of your meal later.
