Because we are a resort area and a first-choice destination for visitors year round, St. Petersburg has lured some of the finest chefs in the world to the kitchens of many outstanding restaurants, including those located within our motels, hotels and resorts along the Gulf beaches.

These restaurants are as creative as their differences in menus and ambiance. Plan at least one or two meals to include the tastes of our own native seafood ? grouper, mullet, pompano, red snapper, shrimp or stone crab ? served in surroundings that reflect the relaxed Florida lifestyle. Dress is generally casual, in a climate where air conditioning prevails.
