This chic bar located in the lobby of one of downtown St. Petersburg's first hotels. The Lobby is hard to find because the hotel isn't open anymore, but it is worth the trip. Open only Thursday though ... more on Visitstpeteclearwater.com

The entrees were fine--I enjoyed my shrimp scampi which was not swimming in butter. more on TripAdvisor

Food is good, reasonably priced, good vegetarian options, good drinks, but the reason to go is to hear Buster jam with his 3-piece band (drums and stand-up bass) and with the musicians that show up every week hoping to play..... more on Yahoo! Travel

We went to our old stand by The Garden because of an Entertainment Book coupon. The new owners don't honor the coupons but by the time we left we didn't care. Both our meals were fabulous...much more ... more on TripAdvisor

We hadn't booked but managed to get a table outside on a Friday night. The food was excellent, so fresh and welcome after surviving for four days on the junk food in Orlando's theme parks. Our waiter ... more on TripAdvisor

Bad place to go, First time the staff was cold and did not smile and food was oily. Second time the waiter was not friendly and we ordered the Special. The fish was broiled but it looked raw to us. We sent the fish back 3 times to ... more on CitySearch
