I had (measured) high hopes for this spot. It is in a touristy spot but the food and view looked pretty good. View is gorgeous and that's a stand out. the only stand out. The noise level is so loud it's hard to hear your table, but I can deal with that. We were a table of 7 out for a birthday dinner. Ordered the cast iron steak which came with truffle fries. My son really hates the smell of truffle oil so we asked for a different side. The waiter (sheepishly) informed us the chef demands NO substitutions. Not his fault. He's just the message carrier. Ok, can we just have the fries without the truffle oil? NO. they are pre-mixed. Ok. Can we just leave the fries off the plate? NO! This is how the dish is prepared. I completely get don't many annoying substitutions, but you can't leave the fries OFF the plate? So either it was pre-done (meaning hot lamp cafeteria style food) or we are being a little too precious. Our table ordered the Tuscan chicken, salmon, snapper and short rib. All were perfectly fine, chicken was pretty dry, but it was a nice sauce. I asked for an extra plate and just took the fries off myself from the steak...but truffle oil is pungent and it affected the meat. Really too bad. We won't be going back. mediocre food which I suspect is pre-prepared, not a nice time. So many other good spots.

Great place to dine - great view and delicious food. Service charge is included w the bill so no need to tip unless your server was amazing. Our server was good but had to ask for water, steak knife and appetizer plates. No biggie but shouldn't have to ask for those things for this level of restaurant.

The view is amazing, but the food is over priced and the service was very disappointing. We will never return.
Tim
Phenomenal views and amazing food. Give yourselves extra time to find parking and walk particularly during busier times. I highly recommend and would definitely go again.

Great views with great food and service, the bread pudding dessert is big enough for 2-3 to share and is outstanding. Had a Table with a view overlooking the pier which was more than what I expected as I didn't ask for it. Great staff
George
Had a very enjoyable relaxing dinner. The cocktails were very good, as was the appetizers (tuna tartar tacos) to the grouper and mangrove snapper! Stunning views, a good environment for a special evening.
Alison
We overall had a really good evening between pre dinner / sunset cocktail at the tiki bar on top followed by dinner at teak. City views from the restaurant were spectacular. Our waitress was super friendly, knowledgeable of the menu, had a good sense humor. Food had really good flavors, I just feel the chef could have spend a little more attention to detail when it came to the dish itself. . My husband had the steak, the flavors were outstanding, sadly the fries on top covered the whole steak overpowering the experience. I had the paella, flavors were good, because wrong rice was used, the paella was a bit dry. Overall experience was great despite the food few hiccups.
Mary
Teak was amazing! We celebrated a special birthday and we were so happy with the whole experience! The food was excellent! We had the filer, short ribs, scallops and paella and it was all delicious! Our server Lee was fantastic and the bar tenders at Tiki were superb, especially Noah! Great experience and fun vibes!

This is a great place to enjoy great food and service and wonderful views of Tampa Bay and downtown St. Petersburg. Leave extra time to get to the restaurant to allow for parking and either walking or tram to the end of the pier. Highly recommend.
Deborah
I love this restaurant. Very quiet and ambience was lovely. Food was delicious and the service outstanding.
Literally stunning. The view, the food, the attention to detail, and the service are all incredible!!! Tons of accessibility as well as allergy accommodations. Its pricey but I mean come on! The view alone is worth the price. Plus, the roof top bar is also a good after dinner spot. Definitely returning!!!

We had the Shrimp Ceviche and the Calamari Appetizers. Both were excellent. We highly recommend them. For our dinner we had the Hazelnut Mahi and the Snapper entrée. Also very good and highly recommended!

The service and food were excellent, Alex the manager was fantastic and very helpful. My wife and I went to dinner for our third wedding anniversary and it was a great decision to select the Teak restaurant. I strongly suggest making reservations, enjoying the view, delicious food, and great service.
Ryan
As usual, had an amazing dinner. The food was fantastic. The view was second to none. The service was wonderful The design of the restaurant is captivating. The only thing I could say that was not perfect was the lobster tail was a little small  The design of the restaurant is very captivating

Service was amazing and food has improved dramatically over the last couple of years since my first visit to this restaurant! Definitely would recommend it now
