Take a Dive into a Supreme Meal at Snapper’s Sea Grill

Owned by a local fisherman, Snapper’s Sea Grill on St. Pete beach is a local hotspot. As you walk up to Snapper’s there are lit tiki torches and mature palm trees lining the walkway bringing you to the front doors, which are made of beautiful stained glass in the shape of fish swimming in the…

From elementary school to college I celebrated many birthdays of mine and friends at Japanese Steakhouses. It was such a novelty, to watch someone gleefully and impressively cook an entire meal right in front of your eyes, all the while creating onion volcanos and smiley faces out of rice. It’s been many years since I…

The Chicken Sandwich with Grits at The Dewey

When you think of beach dining, a few things probably come to mind: ordinary fried bar bites, cheap beers by the bucket-full, and gaudy Floridian decor. While there is nothing wrong with any of that, as it is often what beach goers are in search of. Therefore, there is certainly something to be said for…

Without knowing about Chill Restaurant & Bar prior to visiting St. Pete Beach, you would miss it on your typical drive in or out. Tucked away, on what feels like a sleepy downtown street, sits Chill Restaurant & Bar. Once on the street, you can’t miss it. The restaurant is faced with deep red paint…

When I first moved to St. Pete, I was convinced that I would frequent the beach for the sunshine and good food... but sometimes, life gets away from you and it doesn’t always work out the way you think. Last weekend, after nearly a year of living in St. Pete, I finally decided to try…

Ever since our first visit to Grace Restaurant, just after they opened in the summer of 2017, we have considered Grace to be an anomaly at the beach. Why? Because it has great food, great wine and great service in a beautiful, welcoming, non-pretentious atmosphere. Our first write up on Grace. A locals favorite, Grace continues…

Towards the end of May, Kevin and I had dinner at Grace Restaurant on Pass-A-Grille. This was our third time dining there. As we approached the restaurant, we saw all of these balloons on the ceiling and thought that they must be having some kind of event. It was definitely festive. Once inside, it did…

Having lived on St Pete Beach many moons ago, I never would have thought of Rick's Reef for food. I remember it as a friendly watering hole. We were contacted by the GM, Tyler Hipsley, who invited us in on Friday, April 13th for a meeting, so we decided to order lunch too. Hipsley took…

We had been hearing how amazing Selene is for around a year now, and we finally got to go a couple of weeks ago. They definitely lived up to their reputation. The space used to be a Village Inn, and what a far cry from that since owner Nick Skiadiotis transformed it in January 2016.…

Sola Bistro & Wine Bar is definitely not your typical beach spot. Many beach eateries cater to tourists with a turn and burn approach consisting of poor service with frozen deep fried foods. On the other hand, Sola is a foodies oasis at the beach with eclectic gourmet cuisine. There is also a unique wine…

Grace Restaurant Offers Fine Dining at the Beach With extremely few exceptions up and down St. Pete Beach, 95% of your food choices are frozen fried stuff that won't kill you ... hopefully. Lots of us like to go to the beach, and it gets to the point that you just accept that this is…

So I'm at The Shave Cave last Wednesday and like you would normally expect at a barbershop, there's banter back and forth. When I mentioned that my next stop was going to be Boulevard Burgers on St. Pete Beach, one of the guys said; "That's a tourist trap. It's not that great." (I won't mention…
