“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”

“If anyone watched “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” documentary film and you are a sushi lover you should try this place “Sushi Sho Rexley” near Sundial. This film is about an 85-year-old sushi master and owner of Sukiyabashi Jiro, previously a Michelin three-star restaurant. Sukiyabashi Jiro is a 10-seat, sushi-only restaurant located in a Tokyo subway station. We have this kind of high quality sushi restaurant and only 10 seats. We get to enjoy heavenly delicious sushi like film with sake paring in St. Pete last night. What can I say! It’s a fantastic experience and culture for 2 hours.”

“Beech Kombucha is absolutely un-‘BEECH’-lievable! Stumbled (or should I say, fermented?) upon this gem while killing time before a comedy show, and let me tell you, the real joke would’ve been not stopping by. I’ve now been back three times, and each visit has been a ‘brew’-tiful experience. The best part? The ever-rotating lineup of flavors keeps things fresh—no chance of things going stale here! Every sip is a delightful surprise, and I love that there’s always something new to try. The vibe? Immaculate. The first time, we cozied up indoors, where the eclectic furniture made for a quirky and inviting atmosphere—perfect for conversation. On return visits, we took full advantage of the backyard-style outdoor space, which is not only spacious but also dog-friendly. Our pup gave it two paws up and is now fully on board for future visits. And let’s talk about the staff—beyond friendly! I’m admittedly terrible with names, but I believe it was Julian who guided us through the kombucha selections with expertise and enthusiasm. His recommendations were spot on, making the whole experience even better. Oh, and just when I thought things couldn’t get tastier, a food vendor was serving up Mexican-style tamales and street food on our last visit. The pairing? Chef’s kiss. If you haven’t given Beech Kombucha a shot, what are you waiting for? It’s a ‘brew’-tiful place with fantastic drinks, a killer vibe, and a welcoming team. Trust me—one visit, and you’ll be ‘hop’-ing back for more!”

“Best Dinner of Our Trip!
Lolita’s Wine Bar in St. Pete absolutely blew us away. Our server, Roland, was incredible — knowledgeable, high-energy, and just genuinely fun, which made the whole experience even better.
We ordered the cheese board, the fire & ice ceviche, the mushroom risotto with burrata special, and the whipped ricotta — which ended up being my absolute favorite dish of the night. Creamy, dreamy, and honestly one of the best things I’ve eaten in a long time.
Every single plate was fantastic, and the vibe + service made it unforgettable. Easily the best dinner of our entire trip. We’d go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”

“Went to dinner here for a date night last Sunday, and Perry's Porch did not disappoint! The bread is a must. I got the burger, and my girlfriend the octopus appetizer as a main dish. We thought the octopus would be smaller but was a really good amount. The food was delicious! Aaron was a great server, super helpful and caring. 10/10 experience, we will be recommending it and will be coming back!”

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!!”

“This afternoon I joined 22 friends for High Tea at Jack's. The food was better than the High Teas I had in England. Perhaps this is due to them making everything in house: fresh baked bread for the finger sandwiches, puff pastries with cream and jam, rum spiked fruit cake...all delicious. If you've never been to England, and still want the authentic experience, gather some friends and arrange with Jack's for a delightful afternoon of tea, food and conversation.”

“Trendy Café with Very Good Food It was a rainy Saturday morning and the place was busy. No one could use the outdoor tables, so it was crowded inside. Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.”

“We really enjoyed our experience and meal here. It was clean, friendly, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is relaxed and the owner was really charming, informative, and friendly. The dining room is a bit smaller, maybe 5 tables so if it is a busy time prepare to order takeout if you don't want to wait. You get very large portions so we ordered two dishes between the three of us and split it along with the baklava. We had the three meet plate and the special as well as a fantastic baklava. There are no water cups so everything is bottled. The prices are very reasonable especially for the portions that you get. The bathroom is clean but very warm in the summer. I will definitely be eating here again and would recommend it to anyone interested.”

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!”

“Great Breakfast Finally! A place where all parts of the breakfast were great. The eggs were right. The ham was thick and well seared. The grits, almost impossible to find good ones in Pinellas County, were perfect—not gummy, not watery, not bland. Service was friendly and efficient. The place is busy and lively and mostly clean (bathrooms could stand an updating.) Prices were fair. I will gladly return.”
“This little cafe in downtown St. Pete is truly a hidden gem. The first time I visited, Bianca had just pulled a fresh batch of homemade organic chocolate croissants out of the oven—they were huge, delicious, and so good you’d think it was a recipe she’d been perfecting for years.
I came back again for lunch and it was just as amazing. I had the chicken salad on a buttery, flaky croissant, and my friend ordered the chicken schnitzel sandwich with potato salad—both were outstanding.
On top of the food, Bianca is so sweet and welcoming that it instantly feels like home in here. Every visit is the kind of experience that makes you want to stay a little longer, and it’s one of those places you want to tell everyone about but also secretly keep to yourself. Thank you so much for the amazing food and energy :)”

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!”

“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.”

“Food is great! The cauliflower and dip is fantastic! The charcuterie board comes in different sizes- we had the small for 2 people & found the items delectable. All portions are generous. The Sea Sun pinot noir a bit too sweet for my tastes, but a good deal for happy hour. The Caymus cabernet is a good alternative.Staff needs a bit of training, but I recommend Copper Shaker. We live near by and have been coming in for past several years.”

“Really great food! Smoke flavor was there, meat was tender and perfectly sauced! We got the brisket tacos, flavors were spot on. They could have used a little more crunch but definitely a crowd pleaser! The mac and cheese was killer and fries were perfectly fried! My husband ate most of the nachos on the drive home (we live 5 mins away! 😵💫) he raved about the chips and the great portions of toppings! Excellent spot, will definitely be back!”

“I love BABA but i hadnt been to Barbouni. We happily found out that tins were BOGO on Thursdays. We had oysters, ikura, prawns, and cockles. The bartender James was so helpful informing us about all the different types of tins and what we could expect. Amazing accompaniments with our dishes, all thoughtful and unique dressings for our meal. Beautiful space, cant wait to be back”

“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!

Nestled within its tropical-inspired ambiance, Mangosteen crafts a dining experience that is as exotic as it is comforting. From the moment you step through the door, you're greeted with an atmosphere that embodies the spirit of Southeast Asia. The decor, infused with vibrant hues and natural elements, sets the stage for a journey of culinary exploration. -- Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple – Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes telling the reader a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant is essential. -- This is not at all what you are thinking - this is not Chinese. This is truly and inspiration from the diverse cuisines of the entire Asia Pacific region, offering a tantalizing array of dishes that are as bold in flavor as they are artfully presented and bursting with unique fresh ingredients, herbs, and vegetables. -- Appetizer - Delightfully surprising and bursting with flavor, the Chicken Papaya Lettuce Wrap appetizer was a true gem that deserves the spotlight. Nestled within crisp, fresh lettuce leaves, the tender chicken and vibrant papaya filling create a harmonious symphony of taste and texture. You are greeted with a mix of savory goodness, as the succulent chicken mingles with the sweetness of ripe papaya and the aromatic herbs and spices adds depth and complexity to each mouthful, while the crunch of water chestnuts provides a satisfying contrast. Entree #1 - Prepare your taste buds for a journey of exquisite flavors with the Mangosteen Noodle, an entree that captivates the palate and leaves a lasting impression. showcasing again the use of harmony of fresh ingredients and expert craftsmanship. The dish present itself with an aroma of stir-fried rice noodles, chicken, basil, scallion, and bell pepper dances tantalizingly in the air with vibrant colors and fragrant herbs promise a feast for the senses, and the Mangosteen Noodle delivers on every count. The tender chicken, perfectly cooked and infused with the rich flavors of soybean sauce, forms the heart of the dish. Combined with the subtle sweetness of basil, the crispness of scallions, and the earthy crunch of onions and bell peppers, every bite is a delightful explosion of taste. Entree #2 - Embark on a culinary adventure with the Pad Lao, an entree that showcases the vibrant flavors and textures of Southeast Asia. The dish arrived with the smell of stir-fried rice noodles, tender chicken, and fresh scallions through the air as you are presented with a display of beautiful color, with vibrant greens from the scallions and crisp beansprouts mingling with golden strands of egg and crunchy peanuts. The savory chicken is perfectly complemented by the sweetness of the sweet and sour sauce, creating a harmonious balance of tastes, and the noodles, cooked to perfection, provide a satisfying chewiness that contrasts beautifully with the crunch of the beansprouts and peanuts. In conclusion, Mangosteen is more than just a restaurant — it's a culinary odyssey. With its innovative blend of flavors, impeccable service, and inviting ambiance, it's no wonder why Mangosteen remains a beloved destination for food enthusiasts seeking an unforgettable dining experience. It is very clear that the chef has a deep understanding of flavor profiles and a passion for creating dishes that delight the senses. If I had my choice, I would taste every dish on the money and write about it. Something tells me, they don't miss a detail. Had an amazing culinary journey with my cousing Josh Finegold”

The highlight is always our waitress, Teal, who we call ahead to request every time. She is lovely, professional and well versed on the menu of the day/ season. We adore her 😊.

“Nothing. Seated immediately in half empty restaurant. staff standing around by front door. reviewing menu, 10 minutes later, another couple comes in and gets seated and order taken within a couple of minutes while we were being totally ignored. no idea who is waiting on us, nobody came by..no drink request. waited a few minutes more, couple gets food? you aren't busy, plenty of staff.. no excuse. last time we were there waitress not friendly and dismissive...so not first bad experience... we left, we won't we back. such a shame since we are regulars, and I usually recommend people go there.”

“Food was steamed to perfection. I paid so much more for overcooked seafood at SPINNERS where wine is 16dollars a glass.This place knows how to cook seafood where a 10dollar lobster and huge shrimp are better than high price places.

No seafood better at any price.”

The grits, almost impossible to find good ones in Pinellas County, were perfect—not gummy, not watery, not bland. Service was friendly and efficient. The place is busy and lively and mostly clean (bathrooms could stand an updating.) Prices were fair. I will gladly return.”

Nevertheless, things moved along quickly and we got our order in and got a table. The staff members were all very pleasant and helpful. The atmosphere was fun and lively. The coffee was very good. For food a Jam-on-It Sandwich which was quite nice. We also had a berry yogurt bowl. The yogurt was delicious and the fruit and granola on it were great. The scone we got, nicely warmed, was delicious. I’ll return, but I’ll try for a dry weekday.”

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!
