I'm actually somewhat new to the area and I'm still exploring and always looking for new restaurants. I took my family there yesterday and I was really impressed with the service, ingredients and how the food was prepared.

We started with a shrimp and beans appetizer and that was excellent. I noticed some white wine flavor coming through which I felt suited the dish well.

My mom got the filet mignon and brussels sprouts. She let me try some and they were both flavored well and cooked to perfection.

Her boyfriend got a bunless burger to avoid gluten. It was the juiciest burger patty I've ever tried.

The brussels sprouts tasted almost like potato chips and were slightly crispy, yet there was no excessive oil. I felt this flavor direction for the dish was a great choice.

I got a limited-time menu item which included three lamb chops on a base of labneh and pomegranate seeds. These were cooked to perfection as well and my mom asked if they were "gamey" and I just felt they were delicious. The labneh and other ingredients were also well prepared.

Our server Daniel was very knowledgeable and accommodating of my family's needs. My mom had some questions about the menu and we also needed some gluten free items for her boyfriend because he's very sensitive to it.

I'm so happy with the restaurant and I'll definitely be going back and trying their sister locations. I only took one picture of the food that night which I may be able to add to the post/comments later. Thankfully, they have been around ten years at this point, so they probably aren't going anywhere. Thanks for reading.

Nail salons that are good but also clean in the area? I’ve tried nail art & spa and lauve and they’re good but sooo dirty.

Hey everyone! Pretty much the title. I'm looking to buy my first car and I'm trying to avoid getting reamed too hard on it. My budget is around $5k but I'd prefer to spend less than that (of course). I've been stalking marketplace for a while but it seems like every car on there is "absolutely perfect in every way" so I'm not really sure how to actually judge their value. Any advice about where to look locally, what to look out for, anything is appreciated. Thank you!

We will be flying into TPA (no flights to PIE from where Im coming from) and staying at Rumfish. Travelling with a 3 year old and a 9 month old, is the best way to get from the airport to the hotel just to rent a car? I plan to have a very simple vacation and just stay at the resort for the most part, so would prefer to not have to rent a car and car seats if there are any other options available. It seems like the bus systems (Sun runner, freebee, and the Trolley) do not go to TPA, so that's out of the question, and I don't think taxis have car seats, right? And for the price of Ecar, it seems like it would make more sense to just rent a car... Just wondering if I missed any other options.

Hey, I’d love to meet someone looking to get/stay in shape to be my (purely platonic) workout partner. I’m a 35-year old male St. Pete native with a membership to the Crunch Fitness on 37th Ave N & 4th St, in the plaza with the Publix and all that. Been dealing with a big chunk of depression that’s sapped all my motivation, but once I’m finally out of the house and doing things I’m fine. So I basically need someone to keep me accountable so I won’t bail, and I figure I might as well treat someone to free gym access since times are hard for a lot of folks right now.

Feel free to comment here, DM me, whatever you’re comfortable with and we can hash out details. Admittedly I’m in pretty poor shape at the moment so I’d be hitting the absolute basics and trying to get my strength back. I also have a Vertical Ventures membership I’ve been neglecting to use, so if you’re up for some climbing we could do that too. Ideally I’d like to go 3x a week, and establish something consistent and easy to follow (M-W-F at noon or something like that). My weekday daytime schedule’s very free, but I often work nights and especially weekends so it won’t gel well with the 9 to 5 crowd.

Might be a weird offer, idk. But I’ve had pretty good luck meeting local people off Reddit- joined a D&D campaign among other things. I’d ask my friends but we’re all professional musicians, so our schedules are crazy and trying to get any of ‘em organized is like herding cats, even for gig stuff. Figured I’d offer and see if anyone’s interested! If it gets me to the gym even once then it’s a step in the right direction. I hope it can help someone else too!

My boyfriend and I are looking for a nice dinner location for Saturdays. We both make decent money, but not enough to be spending more than 150$ on dinner, lol.

Anyone know of a good place that maybe has specials or deals on Saturdays that is at the level of a nice dress for me and dress pants/polo for him?

Thanks in advance!

anybody have a rec on a decent gym that has a sauna and cold plunge? I have a hernia, so not currently trying to lift heavy, few good machines and a sauna and cold plunge are what I’m looking for. Thanks in advance.

I have a coworker whom I love dearly, and she needs to specifically see a podiatrist who takes Workman's Comp (sorry I hope that's the right term), she's called 6 offices in St Pete and Tampa Bay -- does anyone here know of a podiatrist that takes it in St Pete or Tampa? Thank you in advance

What’re the best spots with deals and also great taste?

Does anyone have any dog training recommendations for a 9 month old bernedoodle?

We were going to the St Pete Dog Training club for puppy training but I’m now looking for somewhere to board and train or do day drop offs.

Ideally something not outrageously expensive (although I know you get what you pay for)

I just don’t have the time currently to do the hours of training myself to get the base laid out for him.

Anyone know what rangewater management pays their assistants in Tampa and st Pete!!??
I’m aiming for $65k

I wanted to get some Kings chicken the other day and when I Googled their location it said they were permanently closed. I saw lots of remarks about them getting shut down by the health department. Well I just drove by and I see an open sign and people walking in, so was it never closed or did they reopen after a health inspection? I'm almost willing to forgo the cleanliness for them honey biscuits so I need to know what's the happity hap

Hi all! I’ve been getting my hair done by the same woman since I moved to st pete several years ago. Unfortunately the quality of her work has gone down the last 2 times I went and I’m in the market for someone new. I’ve done some research into some salons that focus on blonding and they’re just out of my price range running from 500-800 for a full head of highlights. I’m hoping to find someone who charges $400 or less for a full head and likely in need of color correction too unfortunately from her past mistakes :/

Thanks in advance!

I am planning a 40th birthday surprise for my husband, we live in the Tampa area and wanted to do it in downtown St. Pete.

Any fun restaurants that have a good fun/vibe for about 20ppl. Open to inside or outside seating since it’s November. I’ve been to allelo, Elliott aster and places along beach drive but seeing if anything new and fun has opened?

Also looking for a place to grab drinks afterwards. Is the canopy still a fun spot? I know a lot of people enjoy. Good night John boy but was looking for something more to sit outside w/ good cocktails and music- any new rooftops? Also, open to edge district or places not along beach drive.

Thank you for the help!!

Who’s everyone voting for mayor tomorrow?

I’m going Brandi Gabbard. Just curious everyone else’s thoughts on who and why.
