New American Restaurants in St. Petersburg, FL

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“The best local dive bar in town ❤️“

“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.
