The Lounge by Meat Market

Handicapped person before me was refused access and was kept waiting outside till she changed her own mind while no waiting line was there ! I don't like that behavior and place ! Sorry last time !

It is insulting that while in Florida in 90 degree weather to be turned down for open toe shoes in this establishment that was otherwise empty at noon. The hostility of the hostess was enough to turn my stomach. If that is what to expect from the service, don’t waste your time and $$$

Spencer and Dakota are the best! So personable and efficient! Haven’t had this nice of an experience in a long while. Food and service cannot be beat

We're in Tampa Florida... and shorts are not allowed inside. How does that make any logical sense. Went elsewhere and had a huge bar tab. To bad....

Steak is the best in town staff is great especially Adam right on !

Every time we visit Tampa we go - it is by far our fav restaurant. Food is incredible- staff impeccable and the drinks are spot on! Feels like a fabulous Manhattan restaurant any night of the week.

Our server was absolutely amazing, I totally do not remember her name but she deserves recognition. She is going to school for her masters, has blonde hair, and has been working with Meat market for a few years. I believe it was Samantha.

Hey the food's okay the stakes are what you go here for the duck was overcooked don't get it.The brussel sprouts are amazing they are little over burnt but if you like that you know that's theThe steaks for spot on they hit it that makes up for extra loud music it was like we are already in the club without have to go to the club could barely hear anybody talking at the table it really ruins the mealUnless you like that sort of thing then it's awesome

Waiter was nice, food very disappointing. $55 ribeye, 50% fat. Dried out duck. Will not be going back. Dress code is a farce, people wearing T shirts, sleeveless T's,

Our server was Kenzie. She was amazing. We are foreigners and the food was new for us. She kindly explained every meal on menu. The taste of Salmon and beef was amazingly good. Tasty. I do advice this place to everyone✅✅✅??? Come and enjoy time here. ?

Prior to arriving, the restaurant called 2x and reminded us of the strict dress code- really not necessary and annoying! Upon arriving we were greeted by a young girl who was unfriendly and had a horrible demeanour. She told us to wait along the side and was full of attitude. No smile, no welcome, just miserable. Not even sure if she liked her job. When we finally got seated (nobody knew what was going on- the management team kept bumping into each other and couldn't figure out where to place people. We had to wait for a piece of paper to pop out of a machine in order to get seated. Happy hour was unhappy as there was virtually not much to choose from. We asked waitress about the oysters and she said that they were different from main menu and chosen by the chef- didn't want to take a chance just in case they were not great. We ended up selecting from main menu. Food was average. Our main issue was the whole attitude of the place which we hated and therefore din't have a great time. Management should review their policies and train their team to reflect a more inviting vibe!

What a fun, classy, tasty and festive way to begin New Year's Eve day at the Meat Market Disco Brunch ! The speak easy like vibe in the Lounge room was on point with the super talented and cool house DJ keeping the beats flowing, the attentive and fun wait staff delivering scrumptious dish after dish and the talented and sexy crew keeping the party going ...the transition to dinner dance club was complete! What a blast all around. Kudos to the Disco Brunch team for a memorable time!!

Beautiful place for a beautiful crowd! The atmosphere is great and the food was outstanding! This was our first time here and we were lucky to have a great server named Gabriel. Ask him about his nine lives. We started with some of the freshest sushi I ever had and followed by the devil eggs topped with caviar. Our entrees were short ribs with poached eggs and truffles potatoes. I would love to comeback and try the dinner menu.

This was my first experience with this restaurant. They contacted the person who scheduled the reservations to inform her of the strict dress code and was informed if anyone in our party did not meet the dress code they would not be allowed into the building. We arrived on the night of the reservation, they would not sit us at the table until the entire party arrived, and I noticed people were wearing jeans, which was something they informed the person who booked the reservations was not allowed. We sat down at our table to find out we had 2 people who would be waiting our table. It was very annoying. Every time we started a conversation one of them would come over and interrupt us. I felt like they were in my face constantly, removing silverware, placing silverware, reviewing the menu despite we already knew what we wanted, bringing an electronic device over and bending down to ask us if we wanted anything else to drink or if we wanted desert, lifting up part of the table to make it bigger to place dishes on the table. The manager stood around with a stern face watching everything like a mobster. To me it was not a very comfortable and relaxing evening with friends. I have never been to a restaurant where there was so much table activity with the staff. The food was ok. I ordered the fried califlower for an appetizer, it tasted like they put the entire califlower head in a pot of boiling water and sprinkled a little bit of seasoning on top, it was not fried at all, it was boiled, would not recommend this appetizer.
