The guy who caught your grouper might also be the guy checking on your picnic table. That’s not a gimmick here. The owner is a working commercial fisherman, and much of the seafood comes off his own lines. The setup is wonderfully unfussy. There’s a fresh seafood market, a...

Eight Old Florida Seafood Restaurants Where Fried Shrimp Has Been Served Since The 8s Or Earlier

Some Florida seafood spots have been frying shrimp longer than most of our grandparents have been alive. These are the places with mounted fish on the walls, river views out back, and menus that still lean on platters, hush puppies, and baskets of golden shrimp. A few started as fish...

This Little Florida Pie Shop Serves Mini Pies So You Don’t Have To Commit To Just One Flavor

Florida has a lot of things going for it, but Yoder’s Pie Craft Coffee Co. in Sarasota might just be the most delicious argument for never leaving the state. This is a place where the pie comes in mini form, the coffee menu reads like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, and the only real problem you’ll face is deciding what to eat first.

This Glamorous Florida Steakhouse Feels Like a Million-Dollar Night Out

On Friday and Saturday nights, the ladies’ restroom at this steakhouse has a hairstylist on hand for touch-ups. Yes, really. A dinner spot with a mid-meal blowout station is clearly playing a different game. The stage has a dance floor that raises and lowers. A live band plays during...

11 Florida Restaurants Where Dessert Comes With a Serious Warning to Save Room

One Tampa steakhouse sends you upstairs to a separate dessert room with private booths and live piano music. Dessert gets its own floor there. I love that kind of commitment. That’s just one stop on this list. Another spot serves cake from a room glowing with bubble lights and electric trains. Another tops key lime pie with meringue tall enough to need its own zip code.

Melting Pot in St. Pete debuts new menu, including three-course dinner experiences

Dinner at the Melting Pot (699 Central Ave) has always been focused on what happens around the table. Part of the fun of fondue is that dinner becomes something you actually do together. You’re dipping, sharing, trying different combinations, and lingering over each course, turning date night, a birthday, or dinner with friends into a night that feels like an occasion. And starting this month, the restaurant has added new ways to dip into the experience.
