I was not impressed! The location is great and has beautiful views. It is located right outside parking at the pier too. The hostess staff was friendly. We had a server who wasn’t really charming or friendly. I would say was tired at the end of his day which is understandable. He didn’t give us any recommendations or ask us why we were dining. We asked for a gluten free menu he did grab that rather quickly. We were dining with my niece who is vegetarian. Sadly they don’t have many options. She did order the margarita flatbread. It was a good price and she liked it. My daughter had gulf shrimp we asked for it to be grilled. It was good. She ordered a fruit cup they brought out fries. We didn’t complain. Our server never offered any ketchup probably because he didn’t think she needed it. I ordered the salmon. It was good but the onions on the bottom burnt. The rest of the dish was seriously gross and had no flavor. The spinach and mushrooms were drenched in soy sauce. It was soggy and didn’t have much flavor. The au gratin potatoes were also burnt in some areas, soggy, and mushy. Completely doused in grease. I think it was nasty. I would not choose to dine here again. I still gave our server a decent tip because he did bring out two ice cream sandwiches so my niece could have one. That was sweet. Overall it wasn’t a great experience just average. There are far more better places to dine in St Pete.

After going to Sanibel we decided to try St Pete. The one thing Sanibel doesn’t have is the view. Becky was our waitress and she was amazing, even after some customers were not pleased they were moved from our table. Everything was amazing. Seared tuna appetizer melted in your mouth. Grouper stuffed with crab was perfection and the Yucatan shrimp was unbelievable. The key lime pie was also hands down one of the best I’ve ever had. I will be frequently stopping in. We also had the n best seat in the entire place.

Location, view, and atmosphere were worth the walk! Server was knowledgeable and attentive. When I ordered a particular drink, he told me that they didn’t have the mix for that but suggested something else that I would enjoy, and he was absolutely correct! The crab cakes appetizer was two very small cakes and nothing special, but the jicama slaw was tasty. The paella was good except I could have done without the gritty mussels. Scallops, shrimp, and sausage were delicious! Would’ve liked more than two scallops in place of the mussels. I will have to remember to ask for that if it’s an option next time! They had conch chowder on the menu, but I wish conch fritters would have been an option. Live music was a special touch, and although they were crowded we only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. Our seat was on the dock next to the bar which was perfect. The live music was nice, and the moon came up over the water as we finished eating. It was an experience to remember.

Beautiful view! They have plenty of seating either inside, outside or on deck with shade. I got their shrimp scampi flatbread & my cousin got the Yucatan shrimp tacos. Both are delicious! I also got, I believe its called Gone Bananas cocktail. Great service, tasty food, relaxing atmosphere & stunning views. Why wouldn’t you go!

We had a great lunch here! This place was really busy. Thankfully, we have patience! The food was worth the wait. The lobster bisque was delicious! The snapper I had was really good. My friends really liked their meals too. Their beans and rice had a wonderful flavor. The views here of the ocean are as good as they get! This place was definitely worth the stop. And worth the waiting!

We had a great time at this restaurant on a Monday evening. The weather was beautiful and had a light wind. Our server, Shannon, was informative and hilarious . The drinks were amazing and reasonably priced. The food was outstanding . The parking was easy to access and a short walk to the main area. The tvs were pretty good. The restrooms were clean and updated. Overall. We will be back. Cheers .

Awesome waterfront view. Food was fantastic. Plenty of seating – which can run the waitstaff a bit thin. Service was slow, but everything was hot and fresh. Hands down best food of our trip.

Clare, the bartender, did a great job of serving us food and drinks. You could tell she enjoys what she does!! Grouper and shrimp pasta were excellent as always. First time to this location. Wanted to patronize after the hurricane devasted their other three locations down south.
