“An Unforgettable Culinary Experience – Bravo, Chef Jeremiah & Chef Ronaldo! This restaurant is a true masterpiece in every sense. From the moment you arrive, you’re met with a warm, upscale ambiance, impeccable service, and a menu that reflects world-class talent in the kitchen. The culinary brilliance of Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo shines through in every dish. The Secreto Ibérico was incredibly tender and packed with flavor, while the Pata Negra and J5 jamón were carved with precision and absolutely divine. The Paella was a standout—rich, perfectly seasoned, and filled with fresh seafood that brought authentic Spanish flavors to life. The wine list is just as impressive—featuring selections from around the globe. Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just enjoy a great glass of wine, the staff is happy to guide you through pairings that elevate every bite. This isn’t just a meal—it’s an experience. A celebration of flavor, technique, and passion. Huge compliments to Chef Jeremiah and Chef Ronaldo for creating something truly special. I can’t wait to return!“

“I came to Ceviche specifically for the ceviche, and it did not disappoint! The fish was incredibly fresh, perfectly marinated, and bursting with bright citrus flavors. The balance of acidity, spice, and seasoning was spot on, making each bite refreshing and satisfying.

The portion size was pretty reasonable for 2 people, the presentation was beautiful. I also appreciated the variety of ceviche options on the menu, catering to different tastes and different fish.

I’d say the only catch is, is a glass of wine will run you about 15+ a glass and the service could be better. Other than that, it’s a great place to splurge on one of the best ceviche places in town!

“My husband and I have mixed reviews of Fusion. First, I’ll say that the resort is beautiful. Rooms are spacious. Views were beautiful. We had our wedding there recently and pricing was great. Now the problems- we dealt with multiple coordinators from the resort because they kept changing which made communicating details for our wedding very difficult. They changed catering companies prior to our wedding and we were never able to do a tasting. Though food was phenomenal!!!! But they did forget the two kids meals we had placed as well as the two vegan plates which caused them scrambling to get those meals and those guests not getting to eat while everyone else did. When we arrived at the venue the night prior, we could only have one vehicle parked on site, and our family from out of state were not allowed to use their parking ticket for our second car even though they didn’t have a vehicle there. We had to make multiple trips to venue to bring our wedding decor. We had been told there would be valet since the overflow parking was down the street but valet did not show up until after I arrived so I had to figure out where this lot was (an abandoned building parking lot). On our wedding day, they had taken in another wedding due to the hurricanes, scheduled for the morning of. Which delayed our capability to set up our reception by a few hours. While ultimately it turned out amazing, we did have to rely on family from out of state to help staff set up as the people who were supposed to set up were in the wedding and we had pictures prior to our ceremony. One of our family members stated that table linens were incorrect and there was an argument stating they wouldn’t fix it. Our coordinator did make it right and did help us with some last minute things such as we forgot the extension cord needed for our arch. The man working the front desk was incredibly rude during every interaction we had with him. We had been told our wedding night would be a free stay but we were still charged for both nights we stayed. It seemed that due to all the changes of coordinators, communication got lost such as us also being told we would get upgraded to a premium room for free as party of their wedding deal. Which I had to keep mentioning each time coordinators changed. Finally, check in was to be at 4. When arriving to check in, our out of state guests were told rooms weren’t ready yet and they were made to wait past check in time for these rooms to be cleaned. We didn’t arrive until a few hours after check in and they had to check to make sure the room was ready.“

“So this is a pseudo Lolita's review. It's one of our favorite restraunts ever in St. Petersburg. We saw that they were doing the food for one of the tables at WUSF's Longest Table. 5 courses with wine and champagne pairings.

It was exquisite!! The courses were so flavorful and innovative We were floored! We asked if they were a foreshadowing of what was to come at the restraunt and they just smiled and gave my husband and I a hug!

The restraunt is a wonderful experience. We recommend the short ribs and the dates!

Parking: Located in the Morean Center for Clay with free parking.“

“Such a great atmosphere and delicious wines!“

“I’ve been here multiple times it’s wonderful on the Palate! You have to come just to experience everything! The people are very nice, I really LOVED their pistachio cake that they had. But I totally understand how Chef’s love to create new menus for the seasons!“

“Awesome happy hour, such good prices and fresh sushi! I will for sure be back!“

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.“

“We tried the place after a friend recommended. The concept is cool. great wine selection and cool to try several tastes. Flights of wines by type, region, and type. (full body reds) Service was quick and cordial. We had some charcuterie and a sourdough pizza, and we got to meet the manager and the owner while walking around. Everything was great. We'll be back.“

“Had an amazing experience at The Lure yesterday for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. We were able to enjoy our meal with our dogs too!! Great service, great food (the Onolicious is something special) and super super dog friendly. Thank you!!“

“My server, Leo, was a sweetheart! Fantastic recommendations and every item and drink was expertly crafted! The happy hour old fashioned was amazing! Flavor here is complex and unique! I highly recommend and don’t give 5 stars out unless deserve it.“

“Stopped by last night (Valentine’s day) for oysters and cocktails after having a truly terrible experience at a neighboring restaurant.When we arrived, I was absolutely starving and feeling a bit down from our dinner experience. The oysters and cocktails were perfect, and instantly lifted the mood. The Vinoy is a wonderfully romantic setting, and the bar staff was so sweet and accommodating taking a picture when I asked. Highly recommend for any date night.Just wanted to say thank you to the bar staff. Y’all are phenomenal! ❤️“

“Great ambiance and good environment. Staff was nice they did forget to put in a plate but no big deal. All the food was excellent and the presentation was good despite what the other reviews said. For the price this is a very great for restaurant don't expect anything crazy but you definitely can't go wrong if you are craving some Mediterranean fusion food.“
