If you want to feel a vibe when you outdoor dine, then visit this Hyde Park hotspot. Meat Market on Snow Avenue in the heart of Hyde Park is the place to be whether it’s for a weekday lunch, night-out-on-the-town, or a football party brunch.

I’ve got to do a little disclaimer and mention that my hubby has an investment in Meat Market, so one could argue that my opinion is biased, but I’ll share my story nonetheless.

What Makes This Hyde Park Hotspot Fun for Outdoor Diners

A couple of factors must be considered when you dine outdoors. How does the setup fare under various weather conditions? Rain is obviously a problem. But if it’s a little warm, you’ll get a nice breeze from the fans and coolers outside. If it happens to be a cool Tampa night, you can rest assured that outside heaters will keep you warm. But if you want to go to Meat Market and dine outdoors on August 31, which is National Eat Outside Day, cold weather won’t be your problem.

Now let’s address another important factor to consider when you are dining outdoors. Vibe. What creates a good vibe? Setting, sounds, and sights. Meat Market offers a various array of outdoor seating choices. You can choose from high tops near the bar, dining tables, or my favorite, couches where you can really spread out and lounge. They play great music. I love when the DJ is there on weekend nights or for brunches. And finally, there are no better sights to enjoy than people watching as the shoppers and diners stroll through pristine Hyde Park.

I’m a big fan of the delicious steaks served at Meat Market. My favorite go-to dish is sea bass. It is so delicate and moist. So you can enjoy the fine dining experience and breath in the fresh outdoor air.
