    • Wine Bars, Diners, New American

      Downtown St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg

      Jan 22, 2024

      Fantastic find, the best place in downtown St Pete that I have tried in many a moon. Fantastic selection of wine. Our party of four came on a Saturday for dinner and the food was amazing, literally the best food I've had in the Tampa area, especially St Pete in a long time despite all the new places that have opened up in the past year. It's way better than the Michelin star restaurant in Tampa that I tried a few months ago, not the Asian place or the Italian place, the other one.
      They have one communal table that seats six and six chairs at the bar that face the kitchen, and it's a small kitchen, I'm surprised at the quality of food that comes out of that kitchen which reminds me of my small apartment kitchen I had when I lived in NYC many years ago.
      The menu varies a little depending on when you go and is seasonal but generally several appetizers, 3 entrees, 3 desserts and a page of wines, although they have an extensive list that you can choose from as well.
      We had the bin board, olives and crudo, all great. Entrees included the gnocchi, venison saddle and trout from the Faroe Islands. The gnocchi was perfect, the venison I could not get enough of the trout was superb.
      We then tried each of the desserts which included lime in coconut - lime custard inside of coconut cream, almost like key lime pie without the crust, some chocolate 3 ways dish and some cake dish.
      It was all very good. Note, you have two hours to eat dinner we had reservations at 7 and around 9:15 they let us know that the 9pm guests were waiting outside, but they were very nice about it.
      They also serve lunch and brunch on the weekends and they have wine tastings on Monday nights. They also offer wine and dinner events every so often.
      Most definitely will be back.

    • Pan Asian, Steakhouses, Wine Bars

      Downtown St. Petersburg, St. Petersburg

      Jan 1, 2024

      Had high hopes with all the good reviews. Place is very trendy, nice atmosphere, dimly lit, romantic vibes. Staff were super friendly. The signature drinks here are really good, would come back just for drinks.
      The food on the other hand was just ok. The dishes were on the smaller side for the prices they charge and there are a lot of beef options, too many steak dishes if you ask me. They have few fish options, salmon, cod, scallops, tuna. Then they a fried chicken and pork option. Also raw fish options. Not as pan Asian as I thought it was going to be especially if you do not eat beef.
      So we had the miso cod, salmon and pork collar. They really need to work on presentation. For example the miso cod was two small pieces of cod on a plate with a little bowl of dipping sauce, thats it. The pork was a hunk of pork with bits of apple on top. Also none of the dishes come with sides. We got the fired rice because we heard it was really good, again just ok and for $16 I thought it would be much better and a larger sharing portion.
      Food wasn't bad but not memorable at all. Place is fairly new so maybe they will improve, I'll give it a few more months and maybe I'll check it out again.

    • Stadiums & Arenas

      Eastside, Las Vegas

      Dec 18, 2023

      Warning if you sit in the 100s section. Saw U2 concert here but purchased tickets through Vibee which is a 3rd party vendor who offered VIP experience with hotel, club access etc... I purchased because I thought I would get great seats and I did have section 106 which put me mid stage viewing, however it was in row 26. This had nothing to do with Vibee as this is new venue and U2 was the first concert here .
      But there is an annoying overhang of the 200s section if you sit past row 20 so be aware of this. It blocks your view of the top half of the sphere so you don't get the full experience, however you do get a great view of the stage.
      I knew about this flaw before I got there and called Vibee and they were able to change my seats.
      I could not have asked for better seats still section 106 second row seats on aisle so dead center stage with incredible view of the band and able to see the entire sphere - note you will have to crane your head up a lot if you want to see the top part of the sphere but when a band is playing I do not see the point, movies and such is a different story.
      The acoustics are phenomenal, the seats are nice the concession stands were just an expensive as any sporting event.
      We stayed at the Venetian and they have an access bridge so I have no idea about parking or how ride share works there.
      Only reason I am docking a star is because of the flaw of the overhang that you are not made aware of when buying tickets, if you look at seating chart online it does not show it.

      This is my kind of lounge. Named for the staircase at the Miami property stairs that go to nowhere. This lounge has many comfy couches and chairs. It is not in the main part of the hotel, so less traffic. It' has a lovely pool table, live band at night and funky music during the day. The drinks are awesome the bartenders are top notch. The service is great, friendly, knowledgeable and they know what they are doing. Definitely the best lounge in this hotel.

      Shiny new bar in a shiny new hotel. This is the main bar in the middle of the hotel surrounded by the casino. Bartenders were top notch made a great old fashion, Negroni and espresso martini. When did these espresso martinis come back in style?
      Of course the prices reflect high end hotel Las Vegas prices about $20 a drink which is pretty standard but at least they are not watered down swill. Great bar like the one in Miami sans the casino vibe.
