New American Restaurants near Saint Petersburg, FL

“Love this place, we come here a lot. The food is always amazing, we love that we never know what the soup is going to be but it’s always sooo good! Also, it’s nice to have a rotating menus of beverages to choose from. Always love trying something new. The staff here are amazing and so attentive it doesn’t matter who you get they will all check on you. They are super welcoming and friendly to everyone. 👍“

“Their brunch menu is outstanding!!! Service is outstanding!!! Atmosphere is outstanding!!! Highly recommend!“

“Warning: Tasting this burger will forever ruin your taste buds for any other burger, ever. Seriously. Oh, and their filet is divine. And the beef carpaccio is incredible!“

“Great food, reasonably priced. Love the mural!“

“My future sister-in-law hosted my bridal shower here last Saturday and it was amazing! The event coordinator, Ann, and her team at Cassis were very attentive. The service was impeccable, Ann and our server were very detail-oriented and the food was very delicious as always. I usually go to Cassis for dining or coffee but now I highly recommend it for events! Ann is a photographer so we also appreciated the photos she took of our group. Really appreciate that they made it such a wonderful experience for our families and friends.“

“The apps and entrees were really good. Dessert was not our favorite. Oil and olives in ice cream and cookies? Strawberry pepper ice cream? Not again for us. Menu changes about quarterly. Service was good.“

“Who was very tasty and delicious“

“I’m in the food and beverage industry, and let me just say—this is the place to go! From the moment I walked in, the service was next-level. They somehow knew where I worked, which made the experience feel incredibly thoughtful and personal. I genuinely felt like a celebrity.

Andrew was phenomenal—warm, attentive, and absolutely on point throughout the entire evening. And the food? Out. Standing. Do yourself a favor and order the focaccia, the chopped salad, the lamb, and the vodka pasta. Every single dish was a knockout. The lamb especially—holy moly!

Already counting down the days until my next visit with Andrew!“

“Our group of thirteen dined here today to celebrate two birthdays, seated at two tables. We spent close to $800, and I have to say — the food was exceptional and our server was outstanding. The staff provided warm and attentive service that truly stood out. Unfortunately, what should have been a joyful celebration was tainted by the behavior of the new ownership. A gentleman, who appeared to be part of the new management team (a man in his early forties), sat and later stood in different areas of the restaurant, repeatedly glancing at our group — the only African American party in the establishment — as if we were out of place. At no point did he acknowledge our tables or the two ladies whose birthdays we were celebrating. Yet, he made a point to warmly engage with non-Black patrons seated at the bar. The contrast was noticeable and deeply disappointing. In 2025, it’s disheartening that anyone still needs to be reminded that the color of money is green, and respect should not be selective. We value ourselves, our experiences, and where we choose to spend our hard-earned money. While the food was phenomenal, the lack of respect and basic acknowledgment from ownership left a lasting negative impression. We will not be returning, and I truly hope the new owner learns that real hospitality includes treating every guest with dignity and appreciation — not just those who resemble him. #Disappointed“

“56 of us stopped in for breakfast Saturday Feb 12th. They sat everyone immediately with no problems. The waitstaff was really fast , professional and attentive. Our server didn’t miss beat. Even with so many people ordering at the same time. I sat with a group of ten and everyone’s order was spot on and delicious. I highly recommend you visit Popis!“

“The starter salad is so delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly and mine was actually the best steak I’ve eaten! Definitely coming back when I visit again!“

“We absolutely love the food, drinks, and service at this VIP Mexican Restaurant. Especially, the drinks and the service. Gabby is our favorite bartender/host. The atmosphere is pretty awesome too.“

“Stayed here on an overnight, hadn't been in 10 years, and I had forgotten the quaint atmosphere of this place. Combined with good food and great friendly service, it's a great stop in St Petersburg whether you stay at the hotel or not. Some good daily specials, for both food and drink. Again came face to face with NAM (which stands for Not A Moose, from what I overheard! He's a caribou!) who overlooks the bar. This place is worth a visit if you've never been here!“

“Congenial atmosphere and staff“

“This place is a little hidden gem. Had some of the best chili dogs I ever had! Highly recommend. Staff is super nice and it’s got such a good vibe inside!“

“A bus of us went to Gulfport to support the community after the devastation that occurred after 2 hurricanes.
7 of us descended on O'Maddy's for lunch. I was having a hard time deciding and asked our server for a recommendation. She said that Big John was a customer favorite. 4 of us ordered it. My sister opted for no bun, I switched from a pretzel bun to a brioche bun. All I can say is WOW! We all thought it was absolutely delicious. The thinly sliced roast beef was rare as promised and plenty of it. The beer cheese sauce, cole slaw, and potato chips on the sandwich completed this culinary delight. The french fries arrived hot and were delicious. We also asked for horseradish on the side to add to the deliciousness. None of the 4 of us could finish and got boxes to take the rest home. One in our party opted for the fish and chips, and he said it was delicious as well. Another ordered the salad with salmon and said that his was excellent.
We were seated pretty quickly and had excellent service. We will definitely be back!“

“Loving our stay here in a spacious suite. I have slept better here than I have in years! We had dinner out in the courtyard. The redfish was locally sourced and delicious. The soft shell crab was very good according to my friend. It’s a quirky place to stay, but very well run. Love the breakfast delivered in the morning.“

“The best restaurant on earth. It can't be done better. You could maybe do it differently but not better.

Perfect on every single course, elements of service. Amazing personable engaging staff.

Stellar pastry, baking, desserts.

Tuna sashimi with caviar and Osaka vinaigrette. Mind bending great.
Absolute perfection.

It's hard to get to. I had to fly to luxembourg. But I wish I could go again.

Cristian Bau is a god among chefs. And his staff are spectacular.

Every single detail was flawless. I am grateful that I was able to have this experience. It has left a watermark so high, I fear I'll never experience it again.“

“My son, mom and I stopped in for an early dinner after my son's basketball game. This was our 1st time here and we absolutely loved the food. I highly recommend the "Cool ranch rider" has a nice kick to it the only thing I did differently was ranch instead of mayo and banana peppers instead of hot peppers. My son had the "Turkey bacon" minus onion and tomato as well as sub the mayo for ranch he absolutely loved it!! My mom got the "Roast Beast" loved hers as well!! We decided to try the Lemon Blueberry cheesecake, it too was delicious!! We will definitely be back!! The ladies that helped us with our order were super sweet and made us feel very welcomed!! Loved the vibe. Reggae music playing as well, just overall a great place!! We were at the 3rd Avenue location for reference!!“

“Atmosphere, food and service was amazing. Wonderful dining experience.“

“Excellent food from a tiny kitchen. This is a must experience!“

“Top notch service, fantastic food. We went for breakfast both days of our vacation. Large portions. Highly recommend.“

“I was there for my birthday and I had a great time the ambiance was great and our waitress was so pleasant her name is Jeanae. I enjoyed talking to her.“

“My husband and I have always enjoyed eating at this restaurant. We met the new owner, Angie, last week for taco Tuesday and she was so welcoming and friendly. We loved the new menu, their delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas. It was great seeing Erick also. Our server was Brooke and she was phenomenal. If you want top notch food and service, with a great and quiet atmosphere you need to try this place!“

“Had a great time and the food was really good.“

“We dined on Easter Sunday 2025 and experienced the most fabulous food, atmosphere, and service!“

“Great staff!!! Large menu. Well prepared food!“

“So before going in, I hadn't been here in over 20 years, we expected much less & we were all SO very surprised. The bar and people were very welcoming, &&& the hostess, (Anita) was super. Get some nachos. A great, surprise in a bar stop. Go visit...“

“Good food and good service!! I highly recommend eating here!! The calamari and the gnocchi are DELICIOUS!!“

“I’ve been coming to The Craftsman House for years, and their food and service has been unfailingly great. I love looking at their beautiful and unusual art pieces and have been to and enjoyed a few concerts there. It’s such a cozy and intimate and fun place. I’ve found the people who work there to be friendly and professional. The owner is a really smart and personable guy who has been in St. Petersburg for a long time. It’s always a pleasure to chat with him about the artists and interesting things going on in St. Petersburg.“

“The best local dive bar in town ❤️“

“We rented the restaurant out for an engagement photography session, and the staff was very accommodating! The architecture was stunning. We can’t wait to go back!“

“First off I don't know how anyone can give the place less than 5 stars. The waitress was in a fantastic mood and very helpful when suggesting the appetizers and local favorites. The food was fresh and full of flavor. Honestly the best lobster mac and cheese i have ever eaten. My wife had the meat loaf and is usually negative about how it presented and taste however she couldn't stop eating it.
Olivia was awesome and made the experience so much better 🙏“

“No one came to seat us. I had to go the bar and ask if I could seat myself. The hotel bar and restaurant are connected to the pool area which wasn’t ideal for an expensive dinner date in our hotel. The snapper was cooked well but the sauce was more of an Alfredo and really thick. I also had the broccolini and asparagus,I could have had a whole plate of these. The New York strip wasn’t a good cut but had good flavor. The beers were served in an ice cold mug which was really nice. Our waitress was great and saved this review rating.

Dietary restrictions: A lot of gluten free options“

“Our experience was amazing at the Postcard Inn! I had 10 girl friends come into town for my Bachelorette Party and this stay was perfect for our group! The rooms were comfortable and the hotel amenities made the trip a breeze! With a restaurant, bar, and coffee shop on site we didn’t have to go far to have a great time! The pool and cabana experience was just what we wanted!“

“I went to this establishment for the first time last night the food was so delicious hot and fresh very well seasoned. the cashier at the window She was very polite and Very well mannered I will be back again. The food was 10 out of 10 delicious“
