“This place makes you feel like you’re in Turkey with music and decor. The food was absolutely delicious. Mehmet and Tugce served us gracefully. My husband said he just found a piece of heaven.”
“The wings were delicious, service is friendly and great. Also had fresh spring rolls phenomenal”
“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.”
“Fantastic quaint restaurant, food is fantastic as is the wine selection. Personal service and a very high attention to detail. Fine dining as it should be.”

““Charcuterie? More like Char-cu-dreamy.”
Listen, if I were a mouse with a credit card and refined taste, I would absolutely blow my tiny rodent salary at Lolita’s Wine Market every single weekend. This place is cheese-and-meat heaven, and frankly, it should be illegal to have this much flavor under one roof.
First of all, let’s talk boards. You think you're going in for a cute date night, next thing you know you’re six cheeses deep into The Lola Board wondering if you should text your ex just to show them what they’re missing. (Spoiler: don’t. Just order more prosciutto.)
We went full send with the Gambas al Ajillo and Paella, and let me tell you, I blacked out from joy somewhere between “jumbo shrimp” and “chimichurri.” I came back to consciousness with a spoonful of Fire + Ice ceviche, which sounds like a Game of Thrones spin-off, but instead, it’s ahi tuna with lychee, jalapeño, and a granita that slapped me across the soul.
The dates (not your Hinge match, the edible kind) were stuffed with chorizo and gorgonzola, and I’m still emotionally recovering. Sweet, spicy, creamy, and possibly magical. If Cupid made tapas, this would be it.
Need to feel fancy? Order the Delice de Bourgogne triple cream and say it loudly so the whole patio knows you have impeccable taste and probably own a cheese knife set. Then hit ‘em with a duck mousse port wine pâté chaser because life’s short and pâté is a flex.
Wine? Yes, obviously. Pair it with everything. Pair it with your thoughts. Pair it with that internal voice that says, “Get the pineapple-date chutney too.” (Spoiler: It’s right.)
Pro tip: Don’t skip the spreads. The whipped feta and ricotta were so divine I briefly considered smearing them directly on my face. They come with ciabatta, but I could’ve eaten them with a flip-flop and still been thrilled.
In short, Lolita’s isn’t just a wine bar—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where cheese dreams go to be fulfilled, and where even the dates (again, the food kind) are stuffed with ambition. If you’re not here by sundown with a glass in hand and a beet carpaccio in your mouth, wyd???
I’d give it 6 stars if I could. One for each cheese-induced tear of joy.”
“This was one of the BEST dinners we’ve had in a long time. Dedicated gluten free and even my non-GF husband could not stop raving about the food. We are thoroughly impressed and will be back!”

“This place is absolutely amazing. I got the Jiffy burger and it was probably the best burger I’ve ever had. Our waitress Catie was so friendly and her energy was amazing, did not disappoint at all. Will definitely be returning on the next vacation! Thank you Catie!”
“Visiting City’s Bistro is like going back home. The food is always beautifully fresh and delicious. The restaurant is incredibly clean. The icing on this cupcake is the people!!! Everyone is so amazing, words can’t express the love they have for this community and its people. If you haven’t been here, you absolutely must! There isn’t a bad menu item and they have the BEST coffee in town, hands down!”
“Wonderful casual family-owned sushi/hibachi restaurant in the heart of St Pete! We made a reservation through Google and our table for 10 was ready when we arrived. The owner and his son Khoi were so welcoming and attentive. We tried a huge variety of sushi, salads, seared tuna, and hibachi entrées. All were absolutely delicious with very generous portions and reasonable prices. Tons of gluten-free and vegetarian options and the ginger salad dressing was so good I brought home my leftovers! Highly recommend for carryout or dine in and look forward to returning again soon. Loved Mr. sushi!!!”
“Amazing wine and the service from Sunday made for the full experience. This location was highly recommended from our friends at Paradise Sweets in Pass-a-grille. Absolutely 10 out of 10!”

“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!!”
“The staff at Cosmic Fish are AWESOME.
Shout out to Nate, Jeff, and the man with the beanie.
Vibes are immaculate, my favorite spot for a late night study session.
+ Outlets
+ Comfortable seating
+ Clean bathroom
+ Priced right drinks , snacks, and other goodies available
The Iced Lattes are on point and they really take the time to take care of you.
This spot is a must visit!”
“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!”
“I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant! Ate here twice during our week in FL. We ordered different things each time. The Cuban sandwich was amazing and the Roasted chicken men so flavorful. Oxtail was good also. My son loved the beef empanadas. Staff was amazing and so helpful. Bought some of the red sauce to bring home with us. We will be back!”
“Great menu, drinks, atmosphere, service, music 10 or of 10. Please open one in Trinity. We have a severe imbalance of restaurants per capita and demand is there. Home run guaranteed!”
“I just went for my birthday with a friend. The servers and chef were all attentive and friendly. I got the hibachi chicken and shrimp meal. The food was very good and the portions were huge. I really appreciated that they didn’t make us join another group. The decor is so cool and pretty. It’s a great place to celebrate a special occasion. There’s also a regular dining area that looks like a good date spot. I’ll definitely go back!”

“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.”

“Wow—this restaurant blew my taste buds away! It was so delicious and satisfying. They put a fabulous twist on traditional Indian cuisine. I loved my chicken tikka masala bowl...the fresh spinach, chickpeas, and slaw were a great compliment to a familiar meal I would usually order. I totally recommend this place and will be back often!”
“First time here since it opened, and what a delight. We sat out on the porch near the water which made it nice. Our server was on point, the food was very fresh for what I could order. So many things I wanted to try, but with a seafood allergy and they use the same fryer for everything that was a little disappointing but nothing I'm not used to. Got the blackened chicken sandwich and that was so tasty. I couldn't eat the fries because of the allergy but my friend didn't mind taking it 😜 also the trufflekoptia... Didn't think I was going to like the honey, I was mistaken!! Delish!!🤤 Of course you have to try the cocktail menu also, very unique and tasty!”
“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!”
“Pasghetti catered our large family meal last Sunday. We could not be happier about them. Very good food, timely delivered (and still warm), reasonably priced, and dealing with the staff was a pleasure.”
“We love Casita Taqueria! We usually go to the one off of 4th st, but this one is very similar quality. Very good! I love the brussels sprouts tacos and highly recommend trying them.”

“Absolutely amazing food! Me and my 4yo come here and my 4yo devours every bite! They remember us and what we order when we come and make us feel very welcomed. We love Dooriban’s and I recommend it every chance I get.”
“Finally made it there last night for our party of four and I can’t say enough. The restaurant is beautiful inside the service was fantastic and the food was absolutely incredible. I really think this place just knocked off my favorite Italian restaurant in Saint Pete. Highly recommend it”

“Excellent Staff & Service - completely competent, expert and friendly Folks in a family run establishment - of course the custom baked goods are an appealing attraction to many, yet there's also great variety in the breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, plus gourmet coffee offerings and a bounty of other beverages !+”
“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.”
“La Diperie is what happens when your sweet tooth wins the lottery.
Stopped in on a whim and left in a sugar-induced state of euphoria. Ricky was holding it down like the dessert concierge we never knew we needed—super friendly, patient (even while I took way too long choosing a dip), and clearly passionate about the craft of ice cream wizardry.
Pro tip: get the cookie dough. I don’t know what they put in it—joy? nostalgia? magic?—but it’s wildly addictive and should probably come with a warning label.
If Willy Wonka retired and opened a chill little dessert spot, this would be it. Go. Treat yourself. Ask for Ricky. You’re welcome.”

“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.”
“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!”
“We bring our dog Rebel from Naples, 2 &1/2 hours away to His ( and ours) favorite place. I can’t say enough great things about Mutts & Martinis. Attentive & wonderful staff, very clean pool & play area, tasty food & specialty drinks. We’ve been to other dog bars around town and Mutts & Martinis is the best dog place hands down!”
“This establishment is undoubtedly one of my go-to spots whenever I am in town. It offers the finest pizza I have encountered in over thirty years. Eddie and his wife Rena, both dedicated small business owners, invest their heart and soul into every dish they prepare. They are an extraordinary couple who take immense pride in their culinary craft and are genuinely appreciative of their customers. Their commitment to quality and passion for their work truly enhances the dining experience.”

“We had a blast, this place has a great vibe along with great service, video games and decor. The pizza is great too!”
“Had two EXCELLENT sandwiches and sides our first time there. My gf got the Turkey Reuben and said it was the best one she's ever had. Her potato Salad was DELICIOUS! I got a Cuban Panini. The pork was so tender and delicious, and they added Salami, which was a first for me, and between that and the super delicious crispy pickles, it sent the sandwich to next level status. The place was busy, very clean, and the staff were super cool as well. We will make it a regular spot on our Florida visits!”

“I’ve been eating sushi FOREVER. I’m SO picky. This place DID NOT disappoint at all. So beautifully plated, and even more delicious. I highly recommend the Spicy Tuna Martini.”
“What a gem! We ordered potato pancakes and Kozak platter. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. We finished our meal with amazing sour cherry pierogies. They were soooo tasty. The restaurant has a vey nice atmosphere and a cozy bar. Highly recommend”
“Nomi Nori is absolutely delicious! Freshly made and exceptionally good food, friendly service and very clean atmosphere. It's located inside of the Edge Eatery so there are options for everyone in your party. There is two hr free street parking right out front. So far, this is the best sushi and service I've had in St. Petersburg, FL.”
“I love this place. Its ceviche is the best. Very friendly service. Real Peruvian food in St. Petersburg, FL. Recomendadísimo.”

“Excellent food from a tiny kitchen. This is a must experience!”
“My favorite spot I am there every Thursday or Friday one or other maybe both that’s the chill spot”
“I was in the hospital and my wife went out to get me some cupcakes and it was the first real food that I had in a week. It was amazing. It was like my mouth burst with flavor and sugary sweet but not too sweet goodness. These pastries were made with quality ingredients and with love. I love this place.”
“Absolutely love this place ! Food is always on point, delicious, and carefully crafted.”
“The ProMedia Group recently worked with Artistic Whisk to create a stunning dessert bar and a custom cake featuring our company logo for our 15th Anniversary, and the results were nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final presentation, the team at Artistic Whisk displayed incredible creativity, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for their craft. The dessert bar was beautifully arranged, with a wide variety of treats that not only looked amazing but tasted incredible as well. Each dessert was a work of art, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. The highlight of the event was the custom cake, which featured our company logo perfectly executed. It was almost too beautiful to cut into, but once we did, we were blown away by the flavor and texture. Artistic Whisk went above and beyond to ensure that every element reflected our brand and vision. We are thrilled with their work and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to add a touch of elegance and flavor to their event. We will definitely be working with them again for future occasions!”
“Great beer, food, atmosphere and overall experience! Thank you Zack for a wonderful day!”
“This is the absolute best Mexican food in the area! The service is exceptional, food is hot and fresh and they have the best raspberry margaritas around by far!!! If you happen to get lucky and grab a seat by the bar you will not regret it. The bartender, Carissa has a great personality, knows her stuff and has great recommendations. The brisket is delicious and the shredded chicken chimichanga with the house queso is to die to! I recommend this restaurant to all of my friends and to you as well.”
“Wonderful place for a beer and a taco. Rotating beer menu is fantastic. They're always experimenting. IPAs, lagers, marzen, pilsners, and ciders. Pro tip - mix the ciders lake raspberry and blueberry for unique flavors!!! Live music and events. This is a go to place for locals. Plenty of parking on their lot, street. Plenty of games to play. I'm not a bring 'your kid to the brewer' kind of guy but apparently you can. Absolutely friendly staff!!!”
“Had a fantastic experience at Barbouni, cocktails were delicious and can’t rave enough about our meal. Oysters, crudo, some tinned - all amazing. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Highly recommend!”
“Atmosphere, food and service was amazing. Wonderful dining experience.”

“Top notch service, fantastic food. We went for breakfast both days of our vacation. Large portions. Highly recommend.”
“This place is a gem, the service is top league , friendly as hell and drinks on point, great place for a party of 1 or party of how many, stop by and enjoy the low light and bright cold drinks, always a hit.”
“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.”
“we had a fabulous dinner. I have wanted to try David's cooking for a while. He did not disappoint. we had the chicken special and it was delicious. The apricot cake dessert was amazing. I will be back!”
“First time and wow! Becky our server was fab Oysters enormous Calamari decadent Drinks wonderful and Music perfect! Atmosphere is spectacular!”
“I always enjoy my evening at Frankie’s. The Beef Wellington is the best I’ve ever had. Great food & excellent service!!”
“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!”
“Miguel is the best server on the history of servers!!! He helped make our wedding anniversary even more special with his level of professionalism & politeness. He even had a special dessert prepared for us that read happy anniversary on it.”
“After a poor experience at Tiki Tim’s we came to Cody’s to attempt to eat dinner. The bartender was attentive and our food was delicious. We ordered a steak, baked potato, salad, “bar” burger, fries, French onion soup and rolls. We are happily full and I even did my happy food dance! I’m so glad that we were able to end our date night on a happy note even though we had a poor start!”
“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!
⭐⭐⭐”
“pound cake so good. turkey wings falling off the bone. everything clearly from scratch. maaaaan. yeeess”
“Today I ordered 4 smoothies for myself and co workers. The staff was friendly upon my arrival and the smoothies were SO tasty! Thank you Smoothie King crew, you guys rock!”
“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!!”
“Love this restaurant. Great food and wine. Wonderful house salad. I had scallops and scampi which was excellent. The restaurant is very noisy, but it adds to the charm”
“Great wine. Amazing scratch made tapas and sourdough bread. Very attentive staff. Lots of wine flights and huge selection of wine. Definitely going back soon!”
“I recently dined at this location with my Mom. Our server, Tyler, was phenomenal. He went above and beyond. I'd highly recommend asking for him if you dine in!”
“Food for the soul! This cafe not only has great food, the customer service is exceptional! Came here after an appointment and John's sense of humor made a world of a difference for me.”
“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.”
“Thank you Ferg for a great day with friends at the restaurant than the game. What a fantastic day we all had. Staff was fast and friendly when you were packed. Awesome job, we Love you Ferg”
“It has a great outdoor place and dog friendly. That was nice but I ordered the black bean burger which was terrible. It was the blandest/zero flavor Burger that I’ve ever had. And it cost $13, not worth it. The tater tots were good. I will not order that again”

“Novu Bistro serves delicious food and beverages. The waitresses are friendly and engaging. We didn’t wait long for anything and we were a large group. The owners, Tony and Kat, are gracious and hospitable! I loved that the music was low for great conversations! I highly recommend this St. Pete gem!!”
“I tried their Cuban not thinking it would be one of the top three I’ve tasted in Saint Pete but everything was great about it. What’s also nice is the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and I will get another sandwich there again soon.”

“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. Waiter explained menu choices patiently and my drink was amazing even on 5dollar margarita nite.nice and strong.A northerner my first seafood boil was a fun and delicious. No seafood better at any price.”
“We absolutely love the charm and aesthetic of this venue! My husband and I would frequent the drag and burlesque shows they’d put on. They would be next level shows you can’t find anywhere else! The place would be packed and the energy would make you feel like the you slipped back in time. We desperately miss making these events our monthly treat out for ourselves!! Like RuPaul once said “Bring back my girls!”.”

“We had a 75th birthday party on a Sat. Night. The owners and staff were helpful, courteous, caring, and the food, drink and dessert were as always excellent. We have been going there since they opened and we have always felt welcomed and treated like family. A very Italian feeling Taverna. One of our favorite in St Pete. Thank you for your help in making our celebration so special.”

“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.”
“Erica is amazing!!! She is real and authentic, fun, and a great great time! I’ve been to many bars and seen many bar tenders and she takes the cake. Her and Jazz are a dinamic duo, and we can wait to come back for trivia and anything else you guys offer! Love this place, BECAUSE of them!!!!”
“My sisters & I went I got to pick our restaurant & got lucky! I wanted traditional Irish food drinks & music. they delivered on all of it. The Fish & chips was the best I have had in a long time. I had a Black & Tan (Love Guiness its good for you). My sisters were also impressed by everything, our server was excellent, she kept us happy for sure. I love everything about this place, I used to go to Clancy's every St Patrick's day so I hope this will be my Clancy's go to. McArthur's is the best.”
“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.”
“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.

“Let me talk to ya. There's a new bagel giant in town. Where Pete's General lives in this land of artisan bagelry, Bad Mother St. Pete --- the coffee shop inside of Station House -- lives in the city that never sleeps. As a Jew from New York, it's hard to come by a solid nosh. Eisntiens: whatever --- Brooklyn Bagel Co --- whatever --- Bad Mother --- mindblowing. Ego aside, it's just nice to have a taste of home. I highly recommend taking a bagel or a few to the seats outside.”
