Review

Official

Originally built in 1921 and meticulously restored in 2000, The Hotel is a welcome retreat. Step inside the elegantly appointed lobby with its graceful archways and warm European decor, and step back to a day when master craftsmen paid strict attention to detail. Located in the heart of downtown St Petersburg, The Hotel is within walking distance to all of the museums, parks, shopping, dining and night life that St Petersburg has to offer.

Sushi Sho Rexley

Sushi

$$$$

A block from the busy bar scene in St Pete's downtown, Chef Rexley Kwok's sushi counter is equal parts skillful and approachable. This omakase-only spot features two options: a signature menu with a few more appetizers or a smaller menu with a tighter focus. No matter your choice, nigiri is the heart of a meal here, with standouts like koji fermented ora king salmon. Brushed with whiskey barrel-aged soy and with pickled scallions, it's exceptional. Hokkaido uni with just a touch of yuzu shines, while spot prawn with oyster-fermented soy sauce is sided by a fried counterpart for an interesting

Il Ritorno

Italian, Contemporary

$$$$

For more than a decade, Chef David Benstock has led this fine dining Italian stalwart from the heart of downtown St. Petersburg. High ceilings, exposed red brick, and easy-going servers set a relaxed tone for a team that’s full of ideas and keen to present them in attractive ways. How often do you see duck tortellini with shaved foie gras or a salad of radishes presented as a garden bed with soil and fences? Creative pastas are at the heart of this menu, alongside serious cuts of steak and lamb sourced from their butcher shop next door. Though some dishes can feel busy, there is boldness and f

Asian

$$$

This attractive, high-energy dining room in downtown St Petersburg is cool in all the right ways. Handsome wood finishes, sleek lighting, and large arched mirrors cut a sharp figure at the base of the Ponce de Leon Hotel. Most importantly, this Pan-Asian kitchen backs up all this style with proper substance. Skip the raw bar in favor of plump, spicy pork wontons showered with crispy garlic and chili crisp. Glazed carrots in kimchi butter are both satisfying and sophisticated. And though the restaurant isn’t technically a steakhouse, this might be the best place around to splurge on beef. Beaut

Italian Contemporary, Steakhouse

$$$$

Located within the Vinoy Resort and Golf Club, with its high ceilings and large chandeliers, this Italian-inspired steakhouse has a grand feel. The menu is centered around wood-fired steaks and house-made pastas, blending classic Italian foundations with a polished steakhouse sensibility. Begin with the focaccia "pull apart" rolls with pecorino and taleggio cheese and wildflower honey. If pasta is your passion, have the radiatore alla vodka with a decadent sauce that clings to every ridge and finishes with a little heat from Calabrian chili. Complete your meal with a caramel coffee budino, ser

in between days

Japanese Contemporary

In Between Days bills itself as Florida’s first Tokyo-style sake bar and vinyl house. The space feels intentionally intimate where the lights stay low, the records spin slowly and the food comes in a tight little lineup of dishes that include gyoza, hamachi, oysters and a single rotating noodle dish. This is very much a place you settle into. The team leans into sake-based cocktails, the vibe feels warm and effortless and the food hits a sweet spot between comfort and quiet technical skill.Dive into some bouncy, chewy noodles by trying the chef's choice ramen consisting of a rich, silky bone m
