Spinners Rooftop Grille

Be careful ! They only do Valet Parking and tell you it costs $10, but read the "fine print". It says that you need to spend at least $50 to qualify for the $10 rate. So if you buy say drinks for $45, you will have to pay an additional $50 for Valet parking.

Made reservations with my wife for dinner, unfortunately I didn’t care for my server nor my food and drinks. Ordered a Mai Thai, it came out overly acidic and I tried to drink but I just couldn’t, risotto was over cooked and very bland, Lobster Mac was overcooked and rubbery. I tried to power through it regardless as to not waste the food, my wife’s food was perfect absolutely no issue whatsoever. When I let my server know she said I’m sorry and nothing happened, no manager spoke to us, I would have been open to ordering something else if we hadn’t already waited an hour for those original entrees. I was charged for everything not even the slightest discount or any attempt to make the experience better, which as soon as I got the check I just wanted to leave but had to wait even longer for our server to return to run my card. I really wish I didn’t have to write this, I don’t like to leave reviews and I get how it is, however the restaurant was not even busy to begin with for a Friday night and there’s plenty of staff circling around, I have no doubt in my mind that this was not an isolated event so I really feel I had to write this. Hopefully others have a better experience and time that I had for 300 dollars. Never in my life have I wanted a refund for anything until now

I’m going to be really honest on this review. The ambience is top tier! The views are beautiful l! I had a server named Isiah and he did everything correctly. Pleasant, professional,and polite. However, we waited over an hour and fifteen minutes to get our food( I understand that wasn’t on his end). My man received the wrong steak, it was a quick fix but another 10 minute wait. When it finally arrived, the $72 Ribeye was very fatty and COMPLETELY under seasoned. It was horrible. All you could taste was the block of butter that was on top. Seriously Texas Roadhouse steaks are way better. I ordered the fried Chicken, the skin was great but also bland and fried way to hard. I received whole carrots literally, and they weren’t roasted all the way through, my mash potatoes were the best thing I had but they were literally not hot. I just didn’t even have the energy to complain. I did receive a complimentary dessert since it was my birthday and honestly it was pretty good! Overall the food is overpriced, they need better menu options, more seasoning on their food and to be honest I probably would never come back here unless they switched up their menu. The restaurant is beautiful and a romantic experience. I did order a margarita and to be honest it was one of the best margaritas I’ve ever had!

I wanted to love this place but I throughly enjoyed Bongos Beach Bar and Grill way more!

Food way overpriced. Bland. Fish was overcooked, tasted like rubber. 50 dollars for valet parking (money grab! No option to self-park) unless you spend min 50 dollars in the restaurant or bar, which we did so they stamped our card and we got away with 10 dollars. In my opinion, it should be free since we paid over 200 dollars US for a terribly cooked meal. Prior to our reservation, we opted to order a drink at the rooftop bar on the 11th floor while waiting for our table. Poorly mixed drinks, way too strong, killed the flavour of the mix altogether! The seating and umbrellas are stripped and falling apart which totally takes away from the ambiance. The only memorable part of our evening was the gorgeous sunset which would have been free had we sat on the beach to view it!

The atmosphere was great, the food was nice however the service was horrible. Our server was extremely rude & disrespectful to my partner and I on our anniversary. I would return but I would request a different server next time with more manners.

I loved watching the sunset while eating diner. The food was so delicious, I had the lobster mac-n-cheese and my husband had the pork chop. We even got to watch fireworks on the beach from our table, which made our dining experience ven more special.

Server was extraordinary. As was the view, of course. This is our 10th year coming to Spinners when in town for annual conference. Food was good, especially the brussels sprouts, the butternut squash and the salad. I missed having Mahi or halibut on the menu. I had already enjoyed grouper elsewhere, so I didn't feel like paying $65 for it here. Crab cake was not my favorite, but others at my table loved it. We ordered key lime pie to go, but when we opened the boxes, it looked like round fruit tarts with berries on top of a mound of whipped cream. Underneath was about 3 tablespoons of custard (with only a hint of lime) buried inside a very thick bowl of Graham cracker crust. Whoever thought of messing with the traditional key lime pie that we enjoyed in the past?
We will likely return next year for the view and great service. If so, I'll stick to ordering a salad & side dishes.

We had a wonderful time for dinner on our 5th anniversary here. The views and atmosphere are superb, and we were lucky enough to see a magnificent sunset.

Our waiter, David, was an incredible host and so friendly and accommodating. Can only hope to have him as our waiter again the next time we visit.

Tuna Tartare, Brussels spouts, Salmon, and Grilled Octopus were all absolutely spectacular. We had the Sweet Coconut Cream Cake for dessert, which was a triumph.

We seriously had such a good time and can't wait to come back for dinner or brunch!

Parking: Valet Parking for 10 bucks right in front. Easy.

Rated two stars as the service and view was amazing however I do NOT recommend coming here for breakfast! It was $45 a person and the breakfast I would compare to free hotel breakfast. The bacon and sausage were soaked in grease, clams and shrimp were frozen solid(only one person ate the frozen clams and was the only person in our group to feel sick the rest of the day, was this related….cant say but worth noting), fruit was bruised and old, eggs did not taste like fresh eggs had more of a chemical taste. Was hoping for that price you’d get maybe a pancake bar or omelette bar but there was nothing. We had planned on coming to spinners the next night for dinner but canceled due to this experience. If you want a good filling breakfast go instead to the downstairs coffee shop and get a breakfast sandwich they are amazing!

The rooftop revolving view of the Gulf and St. Pete is well known and awesome. You can see a long way from 12 stories high. But as we sat eating bacon wrapped scallops, Chilean sea bass and medium rare filet mignon, it occurred to me that the food here is spectacular. It is NOT only about the view

Communication for our first reservation on Thursday was excellent which was cancelled due to storm. Rescheduled for Friday and never heard from them

Service was very slow, my ribeye steak was more like a strip steak and they served us cold coffee. Very disappointed.
