Went there for their "Seafood" (vegan sorta seafood) Fest in June. Was fairly busy on a Saturday for it. Staff was very friendly, have some seating outside on sidewalk with umbrella's. Food was very good as I am not a Vegan, but wanted to try it. It's sorta pricy compared to other real Burger joints, but Vegan's seem to not mind paying for what they want or believe in. The Burger had a texture that was just like a hamburger, tasted pretty good for a newbie eating Vegan. 6-7 oz Burger and Fries $14. Sandwiches range from $12 to about $19. It's located near downtown, so you''ll have to find a spot to park on the street around there. Overall, it was cool.

We made this a last minute stop on our way out of town from a long vacation. We were glad we did. We stopped for breakfast and boy it didn't disappoint. After reading several reviews we decided to stop here. The service was speedy and the food was hot. Our waitress must have been having an off day because I don't think we ever saw a smile as she was just kind of there doing her job. But that didn't take away from the great food and the cool decor in the restaurant. Pancakes are as big as the plate. Sausage patties were good. There red potatoes are a must. Bacon was nice and crispy. The scrambled eggs were average. You need to stop by and give this place a shot. It's a hidden gem in the area.

We went for our Anniversary dinner as all our normal St. Petersburg restaurants were blocked-off for the First Friday venue. Valet parking meets you street-side, Hostess opens door as you walk-up. They are expect you and greet you accordingly, which so many other restaurants canât seem to fathom. The service is timely, efficient, and friendly without being too friendly. The cod fish was excellent with an Asian flair. The Strip Steak, while aged was not Prime, so I opted for the 10 oz. Filet. Cooked to order it was good. Could have been seasoned more, so ask for the seasoning you desire as they under season their meat. The side of mushrooms was very good. Appetizer Crab Cake was full of crab with almost no filler! Very good! And they provided a complimentary flour free double chocolate cake for our Anniversary! Nice touch! Weâll be back to try the lamb and duck! The only criticism is for the prices their cuts need to be aged Prime not simply aged.

We arrived at the restaurant at opening at 4:00 p.m. for some snacks and drinks. When we were seated, the server introduced the restaurant as a fusion of Italian and American Southern. Happy hour was going on so the drinks were both good and relatively reasonably priced. My wife and I ordered the bianca pizza. This is a white pizza with several unusual ingredients which really added to the taste. The one that comes to mind that I never had on a pizza before was ground (or small pieces) pistachios. What a delicious and great idea. The service was excellent with the server being able to answer many questions about the unusual menu. There are many choices for both vegetarians and vegans. By the time we left, the restaurant was crowded but not noisy. Although St. Petersburg is out of the way for us, I hope to visit more convenient locations again.

Stopped by mid afternoon for a relaxing lunch. My husband had Crawfish Etoufee and I had Jambalaya. They were both wonderful. The brought us a complimentary serving of fried ocra. It was so good because it was fresh ocra, a light coating and fried perfectly. My husband ordered the bread pudding for dessert. I had to order some for myself because it was so good. Theirs had coconut and small pineapple pieces to make it extra special. We can see why this restaurant has such great reviews. If you want a taste of New Orleans stop by for one of their great meals.

We went for our Anniversary and everything from being seated to paying was a great experience. Park Shore salad was excellent, our entrees were both great. I had King crab legs with the best Brussel Sprouts. Husband had a mixed seafood platter with Spinach. The sides were enough for two people to share. I like that the salads had 2 sizes for the person who doesn't eat a lot. Our server Dakota was top notch. He checked on us often, was very knowledgeable about the menu. We were not rushed.

Intimate setting inside and nice outside seating area. We had the chef's special for dinner - very nice spicy shrimp with pasta and vegetables. It was tasty and was just the right amount of food. The flatbread fig appetizer with prosciuto was excellent - you could actually make a meal out of it. Good wine selection. We were too stuffed to try dessert, but from what we could see, other diners seemed to be enjoying them.

Entrees were excellent and Iâm just in love with then Ramen dish I got, it was delicious. The Cajun Mac was a bit over seasoned but still was very good.
