Everything about our visit was first rate. We were able to get reservations for a Saturday evening and were seated as soon as we arrived. The service was attentive, but not pushy. The food was delicious, a modern take on traditional Mediterranean fare. The fish tasted fresh, and all the food was light. A great evening was had and I would definitely recommend.
Great food great service.
It was first time for us to try Lebanese food. We are really impressed by the healthy way it was cooked and how generous products where used to prepare our dishes. We will be back to this place and definitely will be eating more of Lebanese food. Our waiter was John ,he was extremely polite, attentive and prompt. It's a long time we had such a high level of service, like his. The only thing I missed, it a national music and national design inside, wich we always appreciate. Thank you for great dinner after Henry Plant's museum visit.
Amazing service from Peter. Food was incredible. Thank you for a special night that we will never forget. Celebrated my son’s 18tj birthday
Absolute fantastic evening here! We came to celebrate a close friends birthday, the entire restaurant was so accommodating for this evening. They even brought out the dessert we home made and helped us sing happy birthday. Jon, our waiter, was impeccable. The food was so amazing! And the entire place was so much fun to look around at while enjoying the music. Hands down amazing time. Great way to experience Lebanese food for the first time too!
Was in town visiting friends and decided to check out Byblos back at the end of January for dinner and drinks. The 3 of us sat at the bar and Keke took care of. Cocktail menu was nice and diverse and every drink we tried was super enjoyable. The food was excellent. Don't sleep on the ceviche either because they do a fantastic job with it. We decided to all split the Taste of Lebanon and there wasn't a single disappointing part of it. I personally really enjoyed the kebbeh, the kabobs, and the kafta. When I go back I don't think I'll be able to pick just one. We finished off with some Baklava which was hands down the best I've ever had. Super flakey and fresh and not overly sweet.The service from Keke was amazing. He treated us like family and I can't wait to go back and visit for dinner when I'm in town again.Highly recommend checking Byblos out if you haven't been.
We were a party of 7 and seated immediately. Patrick was our waiter and bartender. The drink menu was impressive and the signature cocktails delicious. Plenty of beer and wine options as well. Patrick was very helpful in recommending drinks and pairing the perfect wine with our meal choices. We ordered and shared 4 apps that were fabulous. My favorite was the buratta tomato and beet appetizer. Some of our favorite dinners were the lamb chops, steak with patatas bravas, the chicken and beef schwarma dinners and the grouper entree. All meals were delicious and prepared perfectly. Lastly was dessert. We couldn’t decide so we tried them all. Baklava, chocolate cake and a custard/cookie dish were enjoyed by all. The dining rooms are very modern now after a renovation with comfortable seating. Outdoor dining is an option. Thank you Patrick for a fabulous dining experience.
Byblos is in the South Tampa area. They have updated interior decoration, now more of chic sport bar type. I would say medium to loud noise level, so if you take your date diner forget to take the megaphone?There is indoor and out door seating. Some parking at the front and some at back and street parking. Fiber for four ended up 130$. Cruise is a mixed of Arabic, Turkish and American. Staple items like Tabouli.Lebna, Kofta, and also items like NY steak. I got lamb shank, that had good size of meat, long grain rice with more juice that I liked, and also shawarma that was i ok pen plate. They have belly dancing on Friday, we went Saturday night so obviously we missed it. There were some TVs also showing games.Overall I liked it ??
Have loved the food at Byblos for many years. Tonight, not only was the food superb, but Nicolas, the bartender, is a master mixologist!
Great dinner with friends. We had the cheese board was delish. Asked for additional bread brought warm pits, was really good. Everyone enjoy their meals. Chicken skewer, calamari, mussels, and gyro.
