At first I wasn’t sure if this fusion would work, but it certainly does! Every single item we got were so flavorful and delicious. We got the lobster bisque, the duck burritos to start, and lamb (special for the day) and shaken beef imperiale for main, and croissant bread pudding to finish. Every item was seasoned well, and loaded with flavors without powering, and delicious.
The service was phenomenal. Wait staff were timely and very attentive.
The ambiance has an intimate vibe perfect for small group special occasions or date night.

We came here for dinner last weekend with my parents. We were seated right away. Restaurant BT is simply decorated on the inside, the minute you walk in the space feels clean and pristine. The restaurant is small which is nice because you feel like you’re having a nice, private dinner.

We tried their beef dumplings for an appetizer. They were delicious, the waiter gave us an extra dumpling so we had enough to share with everyone, which was so thoughtful.

For my entree, I got their ‘Duck Duck Risotto’ it was sooooo good. The duck was cooked perfectly! The risotto was creamy and delicious. The entree came with a side of roasted seasonal vegetables, which were delicious. The plating was impeccable and absolutely gorgeous. Everyone else loved their entrees!

For dessert, we tried their ‘Pane Cotta’, it was light and flavorful. It was the perfect way to end our meal.

Our waiter was attentive and very professional. Restaurant BT is the perfect spot for a delicious, high end dinner. The prices are higher, but you get what you pay for. Food made with love and amazing service!

The best vegan and vegetarian dishes I’ve ever had. Hands down the best place to take a loved one, whether it be a birthday, an anniversary, or just to celebrate. Plan on spending at least $100 per person.

BT has been called the "Godmother" of Tampa fine dining and for good reason. It's been a few years since dining in her landmark location and things have changed yet stayed the same. Love the new look in the dining room, the curtains create an allure of private and fancy experience I've only seen done at Ciro's. Such an elegant touch when you walk through the place. Service is prompt yet never rushed. We started with a Burgundy red because a meal of this level deserves a wine to match! The wine list is extensive and covers the bases for any true wine lover. We had the great honor of sitting in the smaller back room next to Chef BT. We were worried about bringing our 4month old to dinner but she welcomed him during the Friday 8pm dinner rush! The pace of dinner was amazing, plenty of time to enjoy our wine and enjoy the date out with my wife. Food was incredible- specially the soup and the duck!

Beautiful way to spend an evening. Food was gorgeous and tasted even better. So many great flavors presented in a well rounded and elegant way. The coconut rice was my favorite, but everything was excellent. I loved how many veggies were served with the dishes. Entrees are pricier, but quality and flavor so delivered. Service was great. Wine list had more boutique producers too.
