“Made a last minute reservation for my husband's birthday lunch before going to the movies. What a great choice. Joe our server was outstanding, friendly and helpful. I ordered the hamburger and it was the bomb, my husband ordered the crabcake Benedict and he was in love. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat. Since it was his actual birthday they treated him to lunch and a delicious birthday dessert! This place is now on my must go to list! 10 out of 10!“

“Stopped in today for a quick afternoon cocktail with some clients of mine. JB took care of our party at the bar and was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgable of the menu. We enjoyed great conversation and would like to return while he’s working again!“

“Visited The Scott inside the entrance of The Cordova Inn before starting my day in downtown St. Pete recently and chose a latte from their menu. It was fantastic coffee with fresh ingredients. I'll be visiting again for the perfect start to the day. Nice to have a local cafe within walking distance from Williams park.“

“very cool vibe, with great food. Awesome addition to the the area. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Intermezzo is a great place for coffee and cocktails. The cocktails are truly crafted. This time I tried the branca brew ($12, $7 at happy hour) is a refreshing twist on a coffee cocktail. The fernet menta adds a crisp minty twist. It may not be for everyone but I'm a fan. And they have it on tap right now. Their whiskey selection is quite impressive with very fair prices on many great ones. I'd recommend going for happy hour for great prices ($7 cocktails).“

“Amazing ropa vieja with perfect size. Ricotta and pesto plate was delicious with just the right amount of zing.“

“Absolutely delicious and creative food. Great vibes, great food, great staff. Highly recommend checking out Allelo.“

“Amazing! We dropped in on a Friday night, luckily had 2 seats at the bar. Everything was spot on and also completely different. From original cocktails to outstanding bread plate(seriously) and the entrees were just plain perfect. The fusion of comforts foods cooked in eastern styles made the meal feel super fresh and equally hearty. Cauliflower boa buns were ridiculous. I had chicken, wife had grouper. Both outstanding and set a new standard. We went basic, but I would try anything on the menu. The pictures don’t do justice. Well done, all around!“

“This is a near-perfect rooftop location with views of the ICW and Gulf all around you. The ambience is enhanced by the magnificent views and the terrific tapas that is their typical offering. We were very pleasantly surprised by the addition of a Sunday Brunch service which was the best we have had on the Gulf Coast.“

“Asian Fusion with a Touch of Italian Green Pagoda has a pleasant atmosphere. They could do better quality control on making sure the plates are clean. Our server was pleasant and helpful with the menu. But after he took our order we didn’t see him again until we were done and asked for the check. (Someone else delivered the food.) So, he never checked to see if our food was OK or to refill water. As for the food, it was pretty good overall. We started with very nice coconut soup (basically a Thai tom kha), if slightly too sweet. The pork dumplings were very good. The ginger chicken entrée had nice flavor, but the chicken pieces were a little tough. The server highly recommended the snapper risotto, which seemed an odd choice for an Asian restaurant. Nevertheless, the snapper was a generous piece and nicely cooked. The sauce on it was delicious. The risotto, however, was on the gummy side when it should have had a silky texture. I would go to Green Pagoda again and try the whole fish and some sushi.“

“Just popped in this little sushi restaurant after getting off a flight in Tampa. Was not expecting the phenomenal experience we just had. The owner Steve is one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met, the sushi was incredibly fresh, the atmosphere was a vibe in itself and the service was spectacular. I could not recommend this place enough. Will definitely be making the drive from Cape Coral to come back.P.S. - If you stop in, order the miso soup, it’s to die for. We ordered extra to take home.“

“I first came here 6 months ago, Kayla is always so helpful explaining products when I drop in. One time I was having a real rough morning, she was so patient with me & allowed me to take my time at the bar before I left. Great people & vibes!!“

“Friendly staff delicious food“

“Stopped in to take a break from the tacos & margs crawl. Absolutely the best decision we made! Seth made a top notch margarita. Better than all of the margaritas on the crawl. We got VIP tix to the crawl, however, none of the margaritas could compare. Great service, fresh ingredients. We’ll certainly be back.“

“Recently spent the evening of my Birthday here and what a great time it was. Staff is super friendly and on top of everything from drinks to security! Highly recommend and plan to be back in the near future.“

“This bar is so vibrant and beautiful. The wall of Tequila is insane and the drinks are all hand crafted and very creative. I don’t even know what half of the ingredients mean, but they tasted so good! The bar staff was super pleasant and recommended other bars in the area. This place definitely fits the cool vibe DTSP offers.“

“Had a great time. Love the decor. Such a vibe. Great mocktails and small bites. Cant wait to go again and bring more friends.“

“This is an absolute gem of a location. Thanks so much to pool server Katie. She was warm, knowledgeable, accommodating, and took excellent care of my friends and me while we celebrated our very own Katie’s birthday. Can’t wait to return!“

“Food was surprisingly good. First time coming here and I got a breakfast burrito with chorizo and got my girl a gluten free turkey sandwich. Both items were pretty good and didn’t have that premade low-quality feel you get from a lot of coffee shops’ food items. The coffee is also really good as well. Try the cold foam, it doesn’t disappoint. Only thing lacking was the ambience outside seemed to be lacking a bit. The place has good potential to be a nice spot to hang and grab a nice coffee while sitting outside. We will be back!“

“Bocelli is excellent! I enjoyed a wonderful birthday dinner here ☺️ Great service and delicious Italian food with a twist.“

“From the moment I walked in Morgan was very responsive, not only welcoming but she was very specific from my drink to my refill she actually was very attentive and responsive. I have not had service like her like she was on point the entire night when you go there I fully recommend her pass that point if you don’t, you won’t appreciate the real service you could be .“

“I was looking for a tequila bar in Pinellas. I found a dang gem. Grerardo was amazing and explained tequilas and all the differences and guided me on a journey to find a tequila to sip on and relax. If your looking for anything tequila come here!“
