“I have been coming to TI for 10 years and not sure how i missed this place. Mckey at the bar was great! Good recommendations on food and drinks. His service is superior. I had the fish dip and the Altitude burger. The only unfortunate part is that it rained and they dont have a covered bar outside . Definitely will be “
“A must-dine when in St Pete! Superb, thoughtfully-created dishes that will delight the most discerning foodies. Great cocktails (try the Goddess if you’re looking for something refreshing, and they have the BEST espresso martini). Favs include the mussels with the grilled bread for dipping, the truly unique Mac & Cheese, and any of the salads. Honestly everything is great.“
“It was a pleasant experience.The server was attentive and nice.The food was good and came with proper timing.Overall, I would definitely be back!Parking: It was located about a block away in a vacant lot reserved for the restaurant customers only.“
“we had half their menu! And nothing was less than spectacular! our server was so outstanding! I would drive the two hrs from Winter Garden just for the scallops! Definitely recommend this place to everyone! Fair warning the salad is HUGE!“
“The food is amazing! All the reviews were spot on. The service was fast and so hospitable. Joe the owner spent time out of his day to chat with us too. Will definitely be coming back!Kid-friendliness: They had an outdoor area with kid stuff to play with“
“All I can say is wow!Great atmosphere, our server was friendly and attentive, and the FOOD was probably the best I’ve had in St. Pete and Ive lived here 31 years... I got the Ribeye with goat cheese on top and the jumbo shrimp on the side. Steak was cooked perfectly(in butter not seed oils), presentation was beautiful, and the shrimp were delicious!I have been meaning to check this place out since they opened due to the grass fed steaks and I am kicking myself for not going sooner!Possibly the best restaurant in St. Pete or the Tampa Bay Area for carnivores and vegans alike.Incredible!!“
“Great for Date night. It's Right on downtown strip with plenty of outdoor seating. Tiki Masala was great $18 naan bread was fresh and warm, but small portion of chicken, but it was perfect for me - just giving a heads up for others. Husband got the Hot Nashville chicken sandwich $ 15 and said it was great. Server disappeared for a bit- but overall, it was good ?“
“Had an absolutely amazing meal here tonight, perfect for a date night out. If you’re looking for a place that truly cherishes the culinary experience this is your spot! Every part of our meal perfectly complemented the next, our waiter was extremely personable & attentive, truly one of the best meals we’ve had in our area. Highly recommend. Thank you to everyone involved!“
“I’ve been seeing the gateway subs guys on instagram and realized the Pasadena location was on my way home yesterday. I ordered online. Their website allows you to order and customize your meal very well. It was easy to place and pay for the order online. I swung by on my way home and my order was done 10 min early. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I’m so glad I saw them on IG because it’s in a strip mall and I might not have noticed it otherwise. It’s just on the east side of the Corey Ave bridge so it’s very convenient for people coming or going to the beach. Oh…and the sandwiches were GREAT!“
“This is a happening place. Always full of characters. Food is delicious, service is slow. atmosphere is fun. typically there is a bamd playing....this is a loud environment but fun.Parking: parking is first come. there is a side parking lot adjacent to the location.Wheelchair accessibility: wheelchairs will have to be at street level.“
“Beautiful location and outstanding service / communication. Clean, spacious rooms with everything we needed. Having beach chairs, beach towels, etc available meant less to pack and one more bonus. All made for a relaxing and very special week.“
“I personally wrote mgmt about how amazing Starlite was with and for us for our wedding day just this past Saturday! Initially guided by Teresa and Leslie who were spot on organized and made life easy for us, we were then handed over to Ted for coordinating and to be our personal assistant. Ted was phenomenal!!!!! He cared about every detail along with us. Ted made sure that he was not only in the initial planning stage but lived it with us! Being there on our wedding day, Ted made sure that everything we put down on our itinery was met 100%. Starlite gets 5 stars for providing great services and a great staff. Ted gets 5 starts for getting it done, hands on and again, leading the way all the way through till the end. Stephanie, the DJ, was so awesome!! Easy to work with and so pumped the crowd up. She wanted to make the party rock, which it did! Everyone who flew in from around the country for a weekend in St. Pete for the wedding, are saying it was the best wedding they went to because it was "an experience" on a yacht, tour, great service, great staff, great experience. Our social media clips etc have 1,000s of views because of the presentation and live action onboard. I highly recommend having you event here. We will definitely plan anniversaries etc using Starlite. And Ted, is our friend now! (When I can add video clips soon, I'll update this review with video clips) 5 stars“
“The food was excellent. We got the shrimp tacos and buffalo chicken appetizer. Overall cool vibes with good tunes playing in the background. We sat outside and it was a lovely afternoon lunch. We also brought our small kids so it was nice to have a shady spot in their outdoor dining area to spread out a little so us mom's could enjoy a nice lunch and a beverage while the kiddies napped. Bookmarking this spot Visiting from @cattlemanscoffee in Michigan Update to this review: it was so good we had to come back the next day for lunch. Equally as enjoyable the second visit, too!“
“Absolutely incredible dinner. The service was very welcoming and friendly. The chef was brilliant and talked us through all of the dishes, describing his intentions with the bold and complex flavors of them. This place has a truly unique intimate dining experience you won’t find anywhere else in St. Pete.“
“Was very excited to have found this place. Great tasting, extremely fresh, good portion sizes, nice staff, good indoor or outdoor seating options.Would be a great place to come before having a night out at the bars if you don’t want to have a sit down dinner but want something hot and fresh, close to everything.“
“We like to sit at the bar, so I can't speak for the whole restaurant experience, but at the bar you have your own bar tender, the drinks are creative and unlike anything you get anywhere else. The food comes out quickly, is picture perfect and delicious. The bar stools are extremely comfortable. Definitely fun to try the flight! Ambiance is great, very popular, make a reservation in advance!Kid-friendliness: I didn't see any kids, leave them at home with a pizza“

“Love the seating on the balcony especially for a group of friends. We had a wonderful time there, nice wines, food was surprisingly good, Cervice excellent. Our server Marietta was extremely nice, friendly and helpful with choosing the food and wine. Will be back for “
“Ate dinner here for the first time Friday night and everything we ordered was very good. HUGE portions - we got pasta dishes because we saw so many being ordered and they didn’t disappoint. Service was good despite them being busy, we even brought dessert home. We will definitely be back or try the convenient pickup window, there’s so many other things we want to try.“
“First time visiting and this was recommended to us. We went at 3pm on a Thursday afternoon and the food and service were very good. We sat outside, and they had plenty of shade. I got the wet burrito with rice and beans and had enough leftovers to take home for another meal. We would absolutely come here again.“
“We went for breakfast on a weekday. It was pretty crowded but we got a table immediately. All the staff was fantastic, especially our server Jacqueline. The food came out incredibly quickly and was delicious. We got pancakes, waffles, bacon, and a huge spinach and mushroom omelet. Prices were high for breakfast food but that's normal for beach locations. Plus, we had leftovers because the portions were so big. The restaurant decorations were super cute, too, with hundreds of frogs. Definitely recommend ?Kid-friendliness: My 2 kids who are picky eaters had tons of options to choose from and loved their meals.“
“Everything was piping hot. Clean restaurant. Much better than the chain breakfast restaurants. It's why they're always so busy. It's what I would call a small restaurant in a strip mall. A whole in the wall to experience Excellent hot food. You would never know how great it is by looking inside the restaurant.“
“You ever find a place that is just SOOO special that you only want to share it with your closest friends? Yeah, this is one of those places. Food, service is excellent and the vibe is just about perfect. SO DON'T GO HERE! I want to make sure I can still get a table! ?“

“Wonderfully whimsical artwork from countless artists! Jewelry, ocarinas, tea sets, cutting boards, cups, bowls, trays and sculpture all showcased in a beautifully preserved craftsman style bungalow.Highly recommend!! The next time you're in Grand Central make a point to stop in to the Craftsman House!“
“Met some friends here and we really enjoyed our meals. Nice location and solid atmosphere along with an impressive menu. Duck confit was very good as were the other dishes my party ordered. Food was served quickly and a variety of the staff filled water, cleaned empty dishes and overall worked as a team. Good vibes.“
“Blind Shark was the closest bar to our Airbnb and did not disappoint. Coming from Wisconsin, we don't have local watering holes you can smoke inside, so that was a huge plus to us! Drink selection was perfect for our simple tastes, and the locals/bartenders were great. Food was amazing also!Their karaoke night, I made sure to sign up. In the process, I made a friend (who is a local) and got her to sing with me for her first time in years! My fiance and I became friends with her and her husband, spending time with them outside of the bar during our stay.The hospitality is bar-none (no pun intended) and I'd be ecstatic to go back in the future. Very comfy space.“
“Service was very friendly, maybe a little slow to refill, but that could have just been a one off. Food is highly priced, but makes up for it in taste. The portion size was average & what you’d expect. Large parking lot, so parking was not an issue. Based off the price alone this isn’t somewhere I would frequently visit, but for some special occasions I will.“
“Been going to Sonny’s for about 2 years now for some brisket and I gotta say it still holds up to its standards every time I go! One of the best parts about going to Sonny’s is having Franki as a server. She’s gotta be one of the best servers me and my family have ever had. She makes sure we’re comfortable and satisfied with everything.“
“My wife hosted a meetup group here which was attended by 6 people. This was our first time there, as well as for most of the party. The food was amazing, and ther service was above expectations. we had seen it passing by, as we just recently moved to the area, and are both so glad we hosted the meetup here, and will definitely be returning.“
“The bowl concept goes against my idea of eating out. I have to make too many decisions and will be responsible for whatever disaster I created. I'd rather order a dish and judge the chef :-)That said, the food deserves a 6 star rating. All ingredients were fresh and packed with flavor. The Kale pesto tomatoes were simply relished, the broccoli slightly crunchy and finger-licking good, the tofu was nicely marinated, - really, everything was tasty, even the creamy (??) ginger sauce - that I tasted with hesitation - was great.If you like flavor do yourself a favor and try their food.“
“We enjoyed our evening! It wasn't fancy, but it was casual and comfortable. We sat inside at a hightop. The temp was perfect with the outside air flowing through. (The outside corners of the location are open with seating at the windows, facing inside.) We started with $2 off margaritas and delicious corn dip. For dinner, we had veggie nachos and chicken tacos ($4 off for taco Tuesday). We also purchased shirts. Our server/bartender was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The decor included Kansas City Chiefs items; the owner is from Wichita, KS. So it was fun to see something from our area of the U.S.Vegetarian options: A few tasty items were vegetarian, so that sufficed.“
“Their new burger that came out a couple days ago is absolutely delicious! I went back 3 days later and got the exact same burger I had the first time and it has a nice spice to it and their fries are also delicious! Overall 10/10 their customer service and friendliness is absolutely wonderful as well!“
“Pretty Good We went here for Sunday breakfast. The place has pretty typical diner atmosphere. Our server was delightful. The bacon, egg and cheese sandwich was a little higher-priced than other places. We dropped the cheese and had sliced tomatoes for a side which was a $1 upcharge (not noted on the menu). The tomatoes were white and bland. We also had the ham steak & eggs. The ham was very good—better than most other diners. As is often the case, the accompanying toast was practically dripping with butter and left fingers very greasy. I’m officially giving up on grits at mid-Pinellas breakfast places. The grits here were the texture of cream of wheat and devoid of flavor. Roo Roo’s is fine. If I return, it would be for the ham and the friendly server.“
“10/10 - If you know you know. The Caribbean Cafe Cuban is the best Cuban in the Area. Yes Pipos, Bodega ( I don't always want Pulled Mojo Smoked Pork Shoulder) and Columbia are all Great, but this as been my go to for years and NEVER Disappoints. It is a TRUE AUTHENTIC CUBAN. Plus the Price is Right and the Rice and Beans are also F I R E . AND THAT BREAD!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!ALSO - This gets Delivered from Central Ave to Tierra Verde by Uber Eats REALLY Well.Will continue to be a happy customer.“
“I happened to be in the Saint Pete area and friends took me to VIP For lunch. The food was great and the margaritas were amazing! I can’t wait to go back there next time I’m in the area!Parking: There’s a few free parking spots, but most of them you have to pay for whether it’s in the lot or on the street.“
