I cannot say enough good things about this place. This has got to be one of the best restaurants in St Pete. We've been here several times for dinner, but they just keep getting better and better. It's the cutest cozsey little place right on central and the service is always on point. Most recently, my husband and I came for dinner. We started with the burrata and plum special as well as the tuna tartare for appetizers. When I tell you I will dream about the burrata appetizer. It was that good. The tuna was delicious as well and we loved the shrimp chips and how they were shaped like little tacos to make your own tuna tacos! For dinner, I got the branzino and my husband got the cheeseburger with truffle fries. Both entrees were incredible. No notes. Then we got three desserts...we had the lemon tart and the donut bread pudding while at the restaurant and we got a chocolate cake to go. All of the desserts were delicious. However, the donut bread pudding exceeded any expectations I had for that dessert when I ordered it. I legitimately am considering coming back next weekend just for the bread pudding. read more

With a warm rustic feel, this place invites you in for a delicious dinner. We were seated promptly and immediately offered to put in a drink order. Feeling hungrier, I wanted something with more protein so I got the burger. TRUST-- this is not a basic burger. It had a little aioli on the top and then some sort of marmalade on the bottom that brought this burger to the next level. I ate every single last bite. I am allergic to truffle so I could not partake but the regular fries were enjoyable. My partner ordered the steak and truffle fries. read more

It was very good. The compressed watermelon and feta salad and the burger were excellent. The short rib pasta didn't meet expectations. A little too tomato-y, not the most tender or tasty. Prices and ambience were reasonable. It was a clear level at least below Michelin level, but it was good. They were not swamped but busy, and the service seemed a bit overwhelmed. Wouldn't go out of my way to go back, but wouldn't avoid. read more

I think I have a new favorite spot in downtown St Petersburg! Great intimate atmosphere, lovely staff and a really creative menu. Glasses of wine were reasonably priced and my cavatelli with roasted mushrooms was divine. They have a set menu as well as a changing in season specialty menu to choose from. I'm already looking forward to our next visit! read more

We recently visited Brick & Mortar while on vacation, and overall the experience just didn't match the price point. Our total was about $160 plus tip for three adult meals and one child meal, and unfortunately the food wasn't memorable enough to justify that cost. We ordered the grouper and the short rib pasta. Both dishes were OK--nothing terrible, but nothing exciting either, and not something I'd go back for. The part of the evening that stood out the most wasn't the meal, but an uncomfortable situation outside. We were seated outdoors because we had our dog with us, and a homeless individual approached our table multiple times, even attempting to take items from it. It seemed like he was familiar with the owner, who walked him over to the pizza place next door at one point, possibly to get him food. While I appreciate compassion, the repeated interruptions made the meal stressful, especially for my kids who were alarmed by the situation. Overall, the combination of average food and an uncomfortable dining environment means I don't think we'll be returning. read more

I went out on a limb and tried something new other than my favorite short rib pasta dish. The red snapper special was delicious. Service was great as usual. Had a nice table by the window. Still one of my favorite restaurants in the area. read more

The burger was pretty good. Solid pretzel bun. I liked the bacon onion jam. The burg as a whole was strangely salty, but I kinda liked it. Fries weren't bad either. The real show stoppers were the curry spice smoked pulled pork poutine and the carpaccio of beef tenderloin with house ravioli. Seriously, those were things were divine. The staff was also great! Very professional. I'd come again. read more

Another fantastic dinner at Brick & Mortar! We enjoyed the seasonal sweet potato ravioli, the bouillabaisse and amatriciana pasta - all delicious and full of flavor.

This place always puts out amazing food and service and this night was no different. I only wish they accepted reservations because if on the weekend and are going to a concert or other event with a timeline, I often write off coming here for dinner because I don't want to take the chance that they can't seat me in time. Still the best burger in the city and excellent seasonal menu choices. We started with the grilled octopus and bottle of Bordeaux tonight and the grouper special of the night (which I forgot to photograph) was as beautifully plated as it was delicious! read more

The place is sooo cute i think i just caught them on a day they were short staffed. So very long wait times and i saw my server maybe 3 times, opted out of ordering drinksand dessert because i just couldn't wait anymore. The short rib pasta had more Brussel sprouts than anything. It was a good idea but idk i wanted more meat than brussel sprouts for the price in the plate, or at least an equal ratio. Willing to try again but not eager to revisit. read more

Unacceptable double standards and fake service I had a terrible experience at Pier Tiki due to blatant, exclusionary double standards. I sat down at an empty bar and asked the bartender, Christopher, for an espresso martini. He looked me in the eye and lied, telling me, "We don't have espresso at this bar," and offered me a canned drink instead. I ordered a different cocktail and closed my tab. Minutes later, a couple sat right next to me and ordered from Christopher--who immediately made them proper espresso martinis without a second thought. As a dark-skinned Afro-Latina woman, having Christopher flat-out lie to deny me a drink while turning around to serve it to white patrons right in front of me is unacceptable. Whether it was a microaggression or outright discrimination, it made it crystal clear who is welcomed here and who isn't. Management needs to address his behavior immediately. I won't be back. read more

So so good. First time trying it out per family recs and so glad we did. Tuna tartare app was seriously unreal - candied ginger with the wasabi aioli was so delicious. Absolutely obsessed with their short rib pasta, I was blow. Away. Huge portion. Their duck breast was phenomenal ektn the smoky flavor. Just a heads up they only have beer and wine.

First tried this place 3 years ago and had to come back on our return trip to St. Pete (and got the exact same thing, it's just too good). The ahi tuna had crystallized ginger and kimchi on the side that paired with the tuna SO well. The duck was so tender and flavorful it literally fell off the bone. The couscous and the labneh was such a great accompaniment. The bouillabaisse, however, is such a winner it's a MUST order. The broth is such a complex mix of flavors and the seafood is so tender--large portion, too. read more

Can't believe it's taken us so long to dine here! They don't take reservations, so we came early (close to when they opened). We were seated right away, and the service was friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and very well-prepared. We really enjoyed the burrata paired with seasonal peaches on the specials menu. And the Tuna Tartare and Branzino off the regular menu were also excellent. We shared a few plates to have room for dessert and we ordered two (we did take some of the tart home and it was just as delicious the next day). Really well prepared food for a relaxed, casual dinner. Will definitely be back! read more

We came here for a date night on a Friday night. We were seated right away. There is indoor and outdoor seating available and we chose indoor. Street parking is available. It is dimly lit and a romantic/intimate vibe. Our server was great, we decided to do a split for drinks because they don't offer cocktails only wine. We ordered various items to share and everything was good. Our favorite was the coconut donut bread pudding. Wow....delicious!!!!! We got our bill and felt like it was reasonably priced for the amount of things we ordered, would definitely go back if ever in the area. read more

Fantastic food with great service! My wife and I split the pulpo a la gallega appetizer (sliced octopus with potatoes, green onions and chili oil), which was FANTASTIC. I had a special (grilled skirt steak over fava beans) and my wife had the pasta alla amatriciana (wide noodles with red sauce, burrata, charred onions, pancetta and chili). Both entrees were awesome. This might be the best skirt steak I've ever had. Last, for desert, we split the polenta cake which was very interesting and a great close to the meal. 10/10, no notes. We will definitely be back! read more

Another outstanding meal on Halloween while watching the costumes stroll by as we ate outside. We started with the tuna tartare which had a great spicy sauce. The carpaccio ravioli is always a treat with the soft egg yolk in side. Truffle fries are a must! The grouper special was outstanding, short rib fat noodles had to many Brussels sprouts for our taste, and the mushroom cavatelli was perfect! We had an interesting dessert, panna cotta prosciutto. The saltiness of the meat and sweetness of the panna cotta was interesting. However we needed a knife to cut the meat. A delightful evening! read more

We had the best experience here on Friday evening! I booked a reservation for a table of 14 for a surprise dinner celebration for my son and they were able to accommodate us in a private room, without a contract or minimum spend amount. The entire restaurant was packed and we had our own space and everyone could hear each others conversations. The service was excellent and everything we ordered was fabulous! I can't say enough great things about this place. I'm not surprised why it's one of my son's favorites. Thank you for a wonderful evening and the incredible food!! read more

Great food and friendly service. A staple for us. The burger is great! Flat noodle is worth a try

This is a great spot if you want to try a creative meal. I would go back to order off of their weekly specials 100%. A bit pricey, but food quality was great. Beef carpaccio was good, but inconsistent the second time I went. Dessert is a MUST - specifically the donut bread pudding. Waitress was lovely and vibes were chill. Good if you want to dress casual, but eat fancy. read more

I made a last minute reservation at Brick and Mortar on a Friday night for 3. The place is small but cute with indoor and outside seating. We ordered three things and shared them. All of the food had a great flavor profile and depth of flavor. My favorite was the pulled pork poutine. We also ordered a braised beef pasta and beef carpaccio with a goat cheese stuffed ravioli. I would definitely return to Brick and Mortar when I'm back in town. read more

We are spending three weeks in St. Petersburg to escape the Chicago winter. As a foodie, we always look to try new restaurants. We found Brick & Mortar on Yelp and were intrigued by its unique menu. The food did not disappoint us. We had roasted calamari for appetizer. It was cooked perfectly. The olive and chimichurri sauce combined with yogurt based cream made it perfect. My husband had grilled venison which was perfectly done. I ordered the catch of day which was seared yellow edge grouper. It was tender and flavorful. We ended the dinner with bread pudding with toasted coconut. It was well balanced. The whole menu is very creative and full of surprises. We definitely will go back. The service is attentive and friendly. The place is cozy but the noise level is a bit high for us. We had a great dining experience. read more

Small space in downtown St. Pete that has great food and service. They didn't take reservations, but when my husband called the hostess told him that during the week it's pretty easy to get a table before 630. They do change up the menu but some standouts that seem to be regular features were the truffle fries, pulpo à la galleys, beef carpaccio, and the pasta alla' amatriciana (our 14 year old daughter had this and loved it). read more

Wow! An amazing dinner, outstanding service- a perfect meal. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. I asked some questions about what wine would be best for me based on my preferences for sweetness and the wine recommend was great. Service was great, and waters were always filled. Following, we had a salad special with fresh burrata and citrus fruit which was fabulous. I loved the flavors, textures and crunch. For dinner my husband had the lamb which he loved. It was plated beautifully and cooked perfectly. For me, I got the short rib entree. Honestly it was one of the best meals I have had. Maybe because it had all of my favorite foods in one dish, or maybe because the flavors and pull apart short rib were so so great. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Good burger. Good fries. My only critic would be that fries were salty, but everything was delicious. Burger was juicy and well made. I went around 8pm on a Friday, with the outdoor and indoor seating packed, but the waitress offered us extra seating on the side which was an extension of the restaurant. The building itself is interesting, as it looked like it was an old office building or bank, even a meeting room converted into seething area. The staff was very nice and was very attentive to anything that we needed. It is a perfect spot for a date night and would definitely go back to try more foods on the menu. read more

I dined here for my 30th birthday for the first time and I was thoroughly impressed. Dining out these days can feel repetitive at times but not at Brick and Mortar. Service was attentive and not over bearing. We started with the carpaccio and pulpo à la gallega for apps. The latter was so incredibly flavorful I almost had to order a second. My family got the confit of duck and braised short rib with fat noodles from the main menu. In addition, we enjoyed the hanger steak and lamb lollipop specials. Everyone agreed that the quality was top notch. I personally had the branzino which was cooked to perfection. The skin was amazingly crispy and the herb pistou was the perfect compliment. (Pictured below) We finished the meal with their chocolate cake (could not recommend more), bread pudding, and key lime tarte. The dining room has several parts but we sat in the bar area. Simple but elegant setting. The focus was clearly on the food. I WILL be back. read more

Disclaimer: This review is based on my boyfriend's and my experience last January 2024. I just got a chance to write it now. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant while looking for a place to eat in St. Pete that we hadn't tried yet. It had high reviews, so we decided to give it a try. They have outdoor seating, but since it was winter, it was a bit chilly, so we opted for a table inside. When we entered, we were greeted by a warm and cozy atmosphere. The place wasn't very big, but it was comfortable. There were a few vacant tables available; they had plenty of customers, but it wasn't too crowded. We didn't have a reservation, but we didn't have to wait to be seated either. As soon as we sat down, our server came over, gave us the menu, and took our order when we were ready. I ordered the confit duck, and my boyfriend got the beef carpaccio. We shared the seasonal salad, which was delicious. I really enjoyed my duck, and my boyfriend loved his carpaccio. We didn't get dessert because we were already full. Overall, I'm giving it . I would love to go back and try more of their dishes. read more
