St. Peter'sburg/St. Pete's Beach

I'll be in St. Pete's Beach for the first time next month. Any can't miss places to eat? This can be formal or casual.

I think the Don Cesar is quite unique in an area not really known for its upscale dining establishments. The Pink Palace surely cannot be missed.

If you have a car, you may wish to try Columbia or Bern's in Tampa, or The Clearwater Beach Hotel or The Beachcomber on Clearwater Beach.

Enjoy your stay.

There used to be a "Columbia" not too far north of St. Petersburg Beach. Anyone know if it is still there?

I think the Leverocks chain is a good value, for a casual meal, such as lunch.

St Pete offers little if any upscale. If you have the chance and haven't been try Burns Steakhouse. Its over priced and some say over rated BUT its an institution. They'll even give you a kitchen tour and HAVE something sweet after your meal upstairs. Also Flemmings steakhouse, Roys, and Sideburns all in Tampa.

Yep; the St. Petersburg Columbia is located at the end of the pier, about two blocks from downtown St. Petersburg. In my opinion, a stylish restaurant with good service, excellent food, and a terrific view over the water. I liked it more than the original in Ybor City, although the Ybor City location has a nightly show. It sure beats what has become an awful commute from St. Petersburg to Tampa. Depending on the time of day, you will spend much time just sitting on the freeway. Also, there are 3-4 good restaurants in the Renaissance Vinoy Hotel, about 4 blocks from downtown St. Petersburg. Range from an inexpensive sports bar to formal and expensive. Sunday brunch at the Vinoy is special.
