Recently, my wife and I were walking past the shop and we stopped by to get something new. It turns out the shop has changed ownership and I guess "technically" changed its name. However, they have not changed any of the signage. Doesn't matter... Same great shop. Fine oils for cooking, delicious olives, and I don't remember if they had jams or not... But I picked up a mango chutney. We were greeted with a smile by a very pleasant lady. Had a nice conversation and a small tour of the shop with new ownership. I still strongly recommend the shop. If you're in the Hyde Park area think about stopping by.

Interbay Meat Market is your "super bodega" of South Tampa (Gandy and everything south of that -…read moresorry folks, I'm just stating the facts ;)). I had the pleasure of coming here twice - once for lunch and another time to buy actual meat. The initial take of the Meat Market lends itself to some hesitation and doubt. A fast glance may trick one into thinking that the store is part of the Circle K gas station itself - it is not, so don't worry about getting any gas station "specials." As you walk into Interbay Meat Market, you will find yourself immersed in truly a large-sized bodega with open-faced fridges, packed with drinks, lined against the outer walls. In between everything else are your groceries and other common pantry items. Almost at the center is a cantina/canteen, where you can pick out your own lunch from an assortment of available freshly cooked foods. The food you find here would be comparable to Caribbean twist or any other Latin-cafeteria style eatery. The servings are generous for a decent price. If you're coming here for lunch, there are outdoor picnic tables so you don't have to bring the heaping trays back into work if you don't want to. Next to the cantina is the fresh meats section. The cuts of meat here all look great and freshly stocked. They are neatly stacked and organized giving it overall appeal. I came here for steak and was happy with the various cuts they offered (porterhouse, NY strip, ribeye, Delmonico being the commonly recognized ones). In speaking with the clerk, each cut was sized for about a pound - which makes it easy when you're gauging the price. The porterhouse and Delmonico's that I bought immediately went on the smoker and grill, and they were a hit with the party. As you can imagine, you can purchase alcohol as well as tobacco products (behind the cashiers) here if that's your thing making Interbay Meat Market a one-stop shop!

It's a family-owned business that started out as a butcher shop in Ybor City back in 1896. The…read moremarket that you see today on Armenia has been in West Tampa since 1966. It's where you can find local & imported Italian and Spanish products as well as meats and fresh produce. They sell all of their homemade soups by the quart. There's a daily menu of hot foods and sandwiches, but you can never go wrong with any of their daily Cuban specials. I know it's an Italian market, but the food served at the counter is mostly Spanish. To be honest, this is where they shine. They have an extensive array of Cuban specialties as well as their famous Italian sausage with peppers. I also saw some Arancini and slabs of BBQ ribs along with a huge selection of Italian salads. Everything looked great! I can see why this place is so popular. Just grab a number and wait your turn. Pay for all your items at the checkout area at the front of the store. It's also a good lunch spot. The dining area is spacious enough to have a relaxing dine-in experience. I just bought a few empanadas. The lady behind the counter was very nice. I asked for 1 chicken and 1 beef. They were both very tasty. The filling in the chicken empanada was a little on the salty side, but I think that's because it was mixed with chorizo. It was very tasty nonetheless. It was a quick lunch that really hit the spot. They didn't have the Alessi avocado toast seasoning on the shelf today. I ended up buying a couple of other things to try. I saw an oil drizzle that reminded me of my mother's garlic vinaigrette. I can't wait to try it. It's worth a stop when in West Tampa. I stop by there occasionally after my appointments in that area. I always discover something new.

I am completely speechless at how amazingly Meat N' Bone handled an issue with my order. I had…read moreordered a few items as a Father's Day gift, but unfortunately, one arrived with a blown vacuum seal that had caused frost to build up. When I reached out to customer service, the Tampa store manager stepped in immediately to make it right. Since they didn't have the exact identical cut in stock to replace it today, he went above and beyond by courier-ing an alternative steak via Uber directly to my house the exact same day so my dad would still have his gift. He even threw in something extra as an apology and told me he would have hand-delivered it himself after hours if that's what it took to get it to me in time. The manager was incredibly honest, genuinely apologetic, and completely saved Father's Day. It is rare to find a business that takes this level of accountability and treats their customers like royalty. They have earned a customer for life!

THE BEST DELI SANDWICH I'VE HAD IN SUCH A LONG TIME! Reminiscent of NJ/NYC deli sandwiches back in…read morethe 2000s / early 2010s. Got the roast beef club on cuban bread, added mayo and pickles, and it was toasted to perfection. The roast beef was so rare and tender, the bacon was one of the best bacons I've ever had (insanely crispy but not oily, and maintained it's crispiness the entire meal even though I'm such a slow eater). The tomatoes and lettuce were firm--didn't squeeze out of the sandwich or make a mess. And I'm usually not a fan of pickles but it was so fresh and added a flavor to break up the meat + bread taste! The service was phenomenal. It's a family-owned restaurant and everyone is so nice. The guy who took my order was so patient and helpful (I was having major decision paralysis). The vibe is clean, spacious, cute, and super homey / themed. It's also part grocery with German bevs, snacks, and dried goods (and also fresh goods behind the counter and on the menu ofc). I def want to go back and pick up some goods to bring home to my family and I will def be back again for lunch!!!

Kind of a bizarre place. Is it a gas station? Is it a convenient store? Is it a restaurant?…read more What in the world is going on inside? You walk in and it's like a transformed gas station into kind of a deli, kind of a convenience store, and kind of a restaurant. Super duper weird. The menu has a ton of stuff on it. I was feeling like getting some food from my people so thought I'd try this German spot. Up first was the #3 Reuben for $13.95. I love me a good Reuben. However, this is not the place to get a Reuben. Super thin, barely any meat or flavor. It is mostly eating bread. Avoid. Up next, I can't remember what the other sandwich was, but it was bad. I think it was a Cuban, but not sure. It was straight bread. Take a look at the pic. Now, the only above average food item I tried was the German potato salad. I would come back here only for that. Tons of German beers here and souvenirs.

I tried the dark Dubai chocolate and I tried the regular milk chocolate Dubai chocolate. Both of them taste very different to me so I ended up getting both and it cost me $20 total for the size that I got, which was definitely enough for at least two people. The price is definitely worth it. It was roughly around $10 for chocolate bar size 5"x2"... The chocolate bars are sold by weight, but that is roughly the size for a $10 bar. I'm so glad I got the Dubai chocolate here because I've always been curious about that type of chocolate and I love love European chocolate, especially from Switzerland so I knew it was going to be a hit and I'm glad I waited to try the Dubai chocolate here. I definitely wanna come back here and try the fruit flavored chocolates. It was very busy in here and there's so much different kinds of chocolate. They have them in boxes and they have fresh truffles and they also have the fresh chocolate bars. I ate half of each bar while I was shopping and the other half melted in the car on the way home, but I was able to freeze it and I had it with coffee in the morning and it was absolutely delightful. I am so in love with the chocolate here. You can sample their chocolates here and I would save the size of the sample that they give you is probably about a dollars worth. It is a very good big decent size of chocolate that you can sample.

Family and I made a reservation for Saturday evening and were excited to come here. The interior is…read morecozy and comfortable with a definite italian ambiance. We started with some mixed drinks and they were made very well. For an appetizer we decided on the meatballs with ricotta. There were only 3 and they were a bit small for the price, but good flavor and the ricotta and sauce were amazing. For main course I went with the "Shut up and eat" which is basically a surprise plate of chef's choice. It ended up being steak frites with asparagus and a spicy spinach. I felt the steak needed seasoned but otherwise a complete dish and satisfying. My wife had the pasta bolognese. The pasta was light and tender with a lightly sweet bolognese that complimented the pasta with each not overpowering the other. A very good dish! My son had the petite filet that had a delicious peppercorn demi-glaze with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was cooked perfectly and very tender. The asparagus was char grilled and al dente. The mashed potatoes here are a star and maybe the best we ever had anywhere. Very creamy and phenomenal taste. We finished by sharing a piece of carrot cake that was well made. The icing was a bit thick but not overly sweet and thus actually added great offset texture to the semi-moist cake. The only negative were some timing issues on the service. My wife had to ask for her soda 3 times, our appetizer came before our drinks, and the floor service for everyone appeared a bit discombobulated. Our server had a great attitude though, was very apologetic and at the end of the day, sometimes restaurants have those nights. The servers' pleasant demeanor and personable nature made it all not a huge negative. The Food here is really good and know you will pay accordingly. Over $200 for 3 great meals, appetizer, dessert and 3 alcohol drinks at some places may be cheaper, but you don't get the same quality and ambiance. If I could give 4.8 stars I would but will give 5.
