“Michelin star quality dinner here! The house made sourdough bread and choice of creative butters feeds one’s body and soul. On to the pastas, which are unique and amazing! The pesto is so fresh, the basil tastes just picked from the plant. The lemon dill cream sings with flavor. And the pomegranite pomodoro is spicy sweet with tingles on the tongue as the finish. All the pasta is hand made on order. The wine selection is outstanding, with tastes of every possible varietal and all of the highest quality. The owner is on hand to ensure everything is perfect and the chef takes pride in each dish, as he should. Highly recommend!“

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

“Tonight was my first visit to Allelo on Beach Drive in St. Pete. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky to get seats at the bar around 7 p.m. They mentioned they were fully booked, though we did notice a few tables open both when we arrived and when we left. Still, we ended up having a great time at the bar! The female bartender was pretty friendly and attentive, and the bar back (a male) was busy helping with table and silverware setup ~ both were good. We ordered the Baby Gem Salad, Mussels in a delicious tomato sauce, and the Cocktail Shrimp, which were all fantastic. The cocktails were unique and interestingly crafted. The espresso martini had an interesting twist ~ a subtle touch of amaro that gave it depth. The lemon drop martini was made with their house lemonade, which gave it a refreshing and slightly unexpected flavor. My friend ordered the Aperol Spritz and really enjoyed it too. It was a bit loud inside, so next time I’ll definitely ask to sit outside, especially in this beautiful weather. The restaurant has a charming patio right on Beach Drive, a cozy bar area, and another smaller dining room to the right as you walk in. The space is beautifully decorated, with a hand-painted mural of birds by a local artist. They even provided a list so guests can learn about each bird featured on the wall ~ a thoughtful touch! I’m surprised it took me this long to visit, especially since I consider myself quite the foodie. Allelo has been open for 5 years, and after tonight, I can definitely say I’ll be back soon!“

“I absolutely loved my experience at Sip Shop Hooray. My friend, Adrienne Venable, posted about them so I had to go check it out. I found the hat of my dreammmssss that’s very witchy and trendy. Sip Shop Hooray feels like walking into a home with lots of cute clothes. It’s the perfect environment for shopping and hanging out. I had my 11month old with me and the woman working even offered to hold her while I tried stuff on. Amazing place! Great customer service. And the clothes are so cute! Can’t wait to go back“

“I walked in here with my mom when she was visiting and it immediately became our favorite spot. All of the employees were so nice and helpful. Not to mention they have live music on saturdays and the best craft beers from a ton of local and florida breweries. We will definitely be back a ton!“

“What a perfect spot to share a special night with friends!!!“

“We dined at the Colony Grill last Sunday 1/4/26. We had ordered takeout and sat outside. I only went went in to use the restroom. After we left and went out to a couple of other places, I realized I did not have my purse. We backtracked to all the places we had been in Saint Pete that day, about five different places. But for some reason, we did not go back to the colony Grill. I never found my purse. I was devastated. I had a lot of valuable items in it and figured someone had decided it was too enticing and kept it. But Tuesday morning when I was at home, I received a box from FedEx addressed to my brother, whose ID I had in my purse. Someone had taken the time and money out of their own wallet to send my purse back to me fully intact down to the last penny! I am so very thankful I tried calling the restaurant to find out who had done the good deed, but was just met with an automated service. If someone in the restaurant reads this review, please reach out to me. I would like to give a proper thank you to the person that really made my day and set a great tone for the new year!“

“Kristopher Stanger went above and beyond for me and my wife on Mother’s Day. Even though we arrived late for our reservation, he graciously accommodated us after regular seating hours and made us feel genuinely welcomed instead of rushed. His kindness, professionalism, and willingness to make our special day memorable truly stood out. In a busy holiday setting, Kristopher’s exceptional customer service and understanding turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable experience. Ruth’s Chris is fortunate to have such a dedicated and compassionate manager leading their team.“

“Outstanding! Had the skirt steak on the recommendation of our waiter - it was excellent! Very good steak selection as well as seafood. Highly recommend. Very good service - nicely paced and we were not rushed at all.“
