Slim Charmer is a small, stylish restaurant in St. Pete known for its great atmosphere, delicious food, and unique drinks. The ambiance is dark and cozy, with a relaxed vibe perfect for a chill night or a date. The interior features nice furnishings and art, with low lighting that creates a special setting. The menu focuses on starters and small plates, with just two entrees, including a steak. Popular dishes include mushroom toast, crab toast, steak tartare, chips with speck ham, and especially the squash, which is praised for its perfect texture, ingredients, and flavor with sheep's milk, crisped sage, truffle, and pomegranate. The toasts and small plates are often highlighted as the best bites, and the muffuletta is a standout main dish. Desserts are limited but well-liked, with a surprise caramel layer in the tart/torte.
The drinks are a highlight, with favorites like the espresso martini, spicy martini, and Luv Sic, which features more persimmon and interesting herbal aperitifs and digestifs. The drink menu is focused and thoughtfully designed, complementing the casual yet sophisticated atmosphere. Service is friendly and attentive, making guests feel welcomed from the moment they arrive. While the food and drinks are generally excellent, some dishes may be served a bit too rare initially, but they are quickly corrected. The place can be a bit pricier, but the quality and experience justify it.
Overall, Slim Charmer is a standout addition to the neighborhood, offering a cozy, intimate setting with great food, innovative cocktails, and attentive service. It’s a place that leaves a lasting impression and is highly recommended for those looking for a special dining experience.
