We visited Teak for lunch today with our three little ones, my wife, and her sister, attracted by its promise of elevated dining and beautiful views. We started with three appetizers: Shrimp Ceviche, Brussels Sprouts, and a Charcuterie board. My wife and I also enjoyed margaritas. I opted for the steak frites, substituting yellow rice for fries and requesting the steak medium rare.The hostess and waitress greeted us with warmth and friendliness. The Charcuterie scored a 7 out of 10 for us - decent but lacking in creativity. The Brussels Sprouts also earned a 7, while the Shrimp Ceviche was disappointingly a 2, salvaged only by its presentation. It was excessively salty, to the point of being nearly inedible. After a unanimous agreement on its overwhelming saltiness, we left it mostly untouched and notified our waitress. While I don't expect compensation for feedback, I believe it's critical to alert the staff to such issues. Surprisingly, the manager claimed the dish contained no salt, challenging our shared experience of its overpowering brininess, which felt dismissive and unprofessional. In contrast, the waitress handled our feedback gracefully.The remainder of the meal, including my steak and substituted rice, was unremarkable and not quite up to expectations for the price, possibly due to the timing or the chef on duty.However, a highlight was the Margaritas from Teak, which surpassed those from the upstairs tiki bar in quality, striking a delightful balance compared to the overly sour mix of the latter.

We had some friends visiting over the weekend and we decided to take them to this establishment as it’s a fun environment along with the pier. We decided to try their brunch menu and we were very pleased with our meal. The view is great and it definitely makes the restaurant experience even better. I’m okay with the 20% tip charge as most people who complain about it aren’t going to tip well. Keep in mind they literally have a pamphlet explaining that they provide health benefits to their staff due to this type of service charge.

This was my second time coming here. The wait staff is incredible, kind, attentive and extremely patient. The food was out of this world good and the drinks are amazing! The hostess was very nice and was more than happy to accommodate my party trying to get us in asap on a very busy night. Wonderful experience, food, view, food and drinks !
Restaurant is at end of St Pete Pier. There is a tram from parking lot/street to restaurant. 5 levels with observation deck to view while waiting for table. I reserved for wrong day but Rachel, the hostess, was lovely and was able to make some adjustments to accommodate. Tall windows provide great views no matter where you're sitting. Hubby and I ordered charcuterie board to start, linguine with lots of seafood and fish and chips. All delicious! Very busy night. Service was a little slow but our server Kat made evening pleasant. A must if you're visiting St. Petersburg FL. (Fyi they add 20% tip automatically to your bill.)

Went to Teak Saturday March23rd. Saw an instagram post and it looked amazing. Parking was my only issue but found a garage for $16 all day. The walk to the pier was great walk past the marina and the pier has everything. Beach, roller skating rink. Teak was amazing when we finally made it to the top. Seats are first come first serve. $20 serve fee. High top tables and couches to lounge. Our server Nick was the best and shout out to the manager Luis. He gave us some background on the area. Great conversation. And free shots shots shots. Teak and the pier is a great positive vibe. Great views great food great drinks and met great people. We will be back.
Restaurant Review …. Not the top floor bar.Atmosphere is the reason to come here.To make it CLEAR…This is in regards to the restaurant only.The view during sunset is great. For a dinner and experience and surrounding view it’s great.The food…? If salt is your thing then this is the place for you. My first dish of pasta was not edible. So to make it quick, I ordered a soup to not disrupt our party and it too was like kicking a salt block. Only after the others with us too complained.Drinks are good, but go get those on the top floor.Service: They pool tips and charge a flat 20% regardless of party size. This seems to be a trend of the more touristy spots in St. Pete now, so ask everywhere.The service since they pool and know regardless are going to get paid packed that since of helping urgency. Took forever for everything.All and all, it’s “OK”.

10/10 experience. We didn’t know much about the pier or restaurant until we wandered on down there, but so glad we did! The walk there was beautiful (there’s a tram too for those who don’t want to walk), the food was delicious and reasonably priced, the portion size was good, the view and vibes were elite, and the service was GREAT! Our waitress, Donne, took it from a 4.5 star to 5 star experience. Would absolutely go again!

Teak has a little secret! Ok maybe 2 secrets. There’s a small quiet bar on the same floor as Teak- tucked around the corner from the hostess stand. This is not to be confused with the more lively Pier-Tiki on floor 5, which is also exciting and fun, but I prefer this little hidden gem. The 2 secrets are Alex and Shauna (sorry if I spelled your name wrong.) Two amazing bartenders! They are friendly, funny and absolutely talented bartenders. I had a French 75 made by Alex and it was amazing! My friend had a spicy margarita that had a hint of cucumber and was also amazing. The view from this little quiet bar, along with the comfortable seating and great company and chatter from the bartenders makes this a perfect little spot if you just need some quick serenity from the hustle and bustle of the pier and a tasty beverage. Eventually our husband and kids found us, and Alex was kind and made Shirley temples to occupy them while we finished our beverages. Thank you Alex and Shauna!!
This place was pretty good. We sat on the patio and we could take our dogs as they are dog friendly. It was a very hot day in the Sarah brought us some water for them so it was pretty
