Excellent Greek cuisine and drinks. The atmosphere is world class and so is the service. I ordered the grilled octopus which certainly did not disappoint and I love the hummus here. Probably the best handcrafted hummus and pita that I have ever had anywhere! The bartender is a sweet lady and very knowledgeable about the menu. Great customer service!

We ordered the lentil soup, chicken kabob and the chicken schwarma wrap. All were very delicious. The dinner menu seemed pricey but we came for lunch and it was a good deal. Our waitress was also fantastic and gave us great service.

3.5, probably will return – this was my rating in 2021, and I forgot to post. It was a rainy day, and we came in from the back.
Today, it’s a sunny Friday evening. Everything looks bright and lovely. I was wondering why everything seems familiar, especially the bar and lockers by the front desk.
We ordered four appetizers / small plates:
Eggplant
Falafel
Calamari: is flat
Burrata
All are good, with pretty large portions. If I remember correctly, their eggplant is the most shapely, and the red sauce is kind of the first too. However, I don’t care for the dark, sweet sauce. The raw walnuts taste raw.
I like the falafel the most, especially the pinky pickled turnip (?) — please correct me if I’m wrong.
… so the old me left my cc there. They’ll send back to me on Monday – thanks K!

Want to inform that there is no belly dance anymore. Food was average.. only liked one app that we ordered. Chicken shawarma is awfully it’s close to fajitas than shawarma. Dint try any drinks. Tar tar came with a lot of olive oil which ruined its taste. Fries were good.

Omg so yummy. I’ve been here twice and had the same server phoenix twice and she must be the sweetest person ever! And great at her job. I’m a nightshade free vegetarian and my sister is gluten free and there were many options for each of us. The bill was also very affordable imo for all that we got! We loved the fig martini, sangria, and the falafel (not GF tho)

I tried Byblos for first time with my family over the weekend . Let’s get the good things out – beer and pita were good . It’s my first time ordering Lebanese food but chicken shawarma was bone dry breast pieces – salad didn’t help. The chicken kebob were again all breast pieces mildly flavoured. The lamb chops (medium ) – one was good and other three were very chewy. I think I will stick to Turkish cuisine ( Istanbul Mediterranean grill was good)

PHENOMENAL! Best service, incredible atmosphere, outstanding cuisine! We came here as a party of 9 and were BLOWN AWAY! From the very first conversation with the host in reserving a table all the way to the very last minute when we were leaving, we were treated with friendliness, grace and respect. Our Server, Chris was full of life and charisma, cracking joke after joke, making us all laugh and enjoy our time there. He was the most attentive server I have ever experienced in my lifetime. Everytime our glasses were half full he would refill us, he took away dirty plates with promptness, suggested dishes for us and took our orders with precision and ease. He was SO friendly, warm and an honor to have in our company.
Now let me get to the food; dare I say it is the BEST FOOD in all of Tampa? I DO, actually! You can TASTE THE LOVE and THOUGHTFULNESS they put into EVERY DISH!!! Even the fries were perfection, not frozen, house made fresh deliciousness with a light, golden, thin crisp on the outside and a mashed potato consistency on the inside and SO DAMN FLAVORFUL! How do you make the inside of your fries that tasty!?? NEVER IN MY LIFE have I tasted a fry that damn delicious! Don’t even get me started on the scallops…….I cut them with my spoon, that is how delicate they were! Very flavorful, you can tell they fry the panchetta first and then the scallops in the grease, but you don’t miss out on the fresh element either, especially with the green pea puree; MUAH, to die for! Best scallops I’ve ever had in my life. And you know I had to try a little of everyone else’s dish. I would be here for hours writing if I had to describe each one of their unique flavors. Let me just say everyone loved their dish as much as I loved mine!
In addition, I love when the manager comes to visit the table to see how everything was! So personable and appreciated (also, thank you for my husband’s complimentary shot of whiskey for his birthday). This restaurant was so well thought out, from the comfy chairs to the layout and the decor. All I have to say is, if you want to FEEL emotions while you eat and be transported into a different world where the mundane everyday reality seems to dwindle away for an hour or two, and you want to really enjoy EVERY bite you take, while being treated like royalty, COME HERE!!!!
I am already planning an excuse to come back!
Thank you Chris for your warm-hearted personality and thank you Byblos staff for being so friendly and welcoming. This place deserves a Michelin star!

This restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with authentic Lebanese cuisine. The manager was incredibly accommodating, finding the perfect table for our group in the quiet corner of the restaurant. The service was impeccable, making it a highly recommended spot!

Love what they did with the space (from the ladder at the bar to the mural on the wall). The staff is lovely. The flavors are really well paired! We like a little more salt, but mostly enjoyed as is. Fave was the beautifully green and super moist falafel with tahini.
