    Eggs Benedict
    Chrissy D.

    First and foremost: the staff is outstanding!!! I didn't catch names unfortunately but everyone I encountered was super sweet and accommodating. I called to see if reservations were needed for bigger groups but they said just call the day of to be considerate which I did. We had a solid group of folks come through to celebrate my sister as a causal bridal brunch. We were looking for something that was laidback and beachy and the food was superb. I went with an eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was scrumptious! I appreciated the cup on the side so I could dip my potatoes in it too. Requested hot sauce and was happy to see cholula whisked right on over. Totes recommend for a hearty breakfast to start your day right!

    I love the finger foods at the Gulfside grill, their fish dip is on point, the wings were delicious and their service is fantastic. I love how it works side by side with the sandbox where you have hammocks, a sand pit with marshmallow roasting and a bar that has a very Island feel! If you reserve a private cabana you have a credit towards food and drink from a large portion of the private cabana rental fee.

    This place is amazing!!! The staff is so friendly! We came in for lunch during a bachelorette party weekend and we were greeted with so many smiles and positivity!! It was as if they were celebrating with us! Our server was so attentive and lovely! The food was absolutely delicious and hit the spot just right! 10/10 recommend

    Do not come here if you are bringing your own fish to cook from a fishing trip. They charge $18 per person no matter how much fish you have to cook. Not charging by the pound of fish, which actually makes sense. For 3 relatively small fish after they are filleted. Again do not come here. This restaurant is poolside in the RumFish Resort. Go outside the resort.

    Guy's Gulfside Grill has inside seating as well as serving at the Sandbar Beach Bar & on the beach.

    What a great way to end a day... we were on St Pete Beach waiting for the sunset, this place is known for its beautiful sunsets, when we noticed a huge screen set up on the beach just outside of Guy Harvey's Outpost. We stopped near the screen to watch the sunset as we got another surprise, three dolphin slowly swam by about 20 feet from shore. We were told dolphins usually swim by at sunset, head down here to see them if you're in the area. Beautiful sunset, cool seeing the dolphins, but back to the big screen! The Tampa Bay Lighting hockey team is playing out of town tonight! When the team is out of town Guy's Gulfside Grille is crammed. It's full of area Lightning fans as well as tourists all celebrating the game at Guys party... the huge screen, the Grille grilling hamburgers for the fans (about $10 each), the beach lounges, tables, stools all full of fans all a part of the Lighting celebration. This bar offers great food & drinks plus live music every nite and has a fantastic staff! I look forward to coming back!

They were loaded with flavor and easily some of the best nachos I've had. To top it all off, we spent the evening outside enjoying live music by the incredibly talented Ethan Smith. Great food, awesome drinks, outstanding service, and such a fun, laid-back atmosphere. We'll definitely be back! If you're in Gulfport, do yourself a favor and check them out!

They don't take reservations, so a wait is common, but it's worth sticking around for. Our server was just ok, a little slow and not totally clear when explaining the menu or how many people each dish could feed. We started with shrimp and a few other appetizers, all solid. Every steak comes with a salad that's filling enough on its own. The real star, though, is the tomahawk, easily enough to feed 2 or 3 people and cooked exactly right. The rest of the steaks we tried came out just as well. For the price, the steak quality here is hard to beat, and that alone is enough reason to come back. Combined with the beachfront location, this is a spot I'll return to for the steaks specifically.

I wanted nor waited, for a thing! That's a big deal! The salads and starch were included with the entrees. But we added the steamed broccoli and we spilt a bernaise sauce. I swear I could eat that plain, I liked it so much... let the pictures be my proof. My entree was only 45 dollars... completely affordable especially with salads and starch! Another great night and place. I highly recommend. It is on the small side inside so the tables are always full but it seems to be part of the charm.

The food ranged from amazing to just okay: * Korean BBQ Chicken Sandwich -- wow * Classic Cheeseburger -- really good * Piri Chicken -- not good * Mushroom Paella -- pretty good * Goat Cheese Blossoms -- I loved them, others didn't * Tom Yum Shrimp -- really good * Rosemary Fries -- inconsistent but delicious * Summer Cobb Gem Lettuce -- delicious Our group of six was split: 1 wouldn't return, 2 would consider another chance, 2 liked it and said of course will be back, and 1 thought it was five stars. The service was great, and the dishes that hit were really good - but the heat, pricing, and inconsistency kept it under four stars for me. It was after work so drinking was not the main event so no real information on the cocktails.

We started with their renditions of a Dirty Martini and butterfly pea French 75. The martini was nicely presented with a pimento olive garnish, while the French 75 and the mule we also tried came without one. Both tasted good, but adding a simple garnish would have elevated the presentation and given the cocktails a more finished feel. Then we asked for a recommendation and tried the Spicy Watermelon Margarita. This was easily our favorite cocktail of the night; fresh and incredibly refreshing upfront, with a spicy kick that develops on the finish without overpowering the watermelon. We started our food with the mussels and potato fennel soup. I really enjoyed the mussels because the broth was lighter rather than overly rich or buttery, allowing the mussels themselves to stand out. Definitely add the garlic bread for soaking up the broth and save some for the lasagna! The potato fennel soup was smooth and comforting, although the fennel flavor was quite pronounced, so it's best suited for someone who really enjoys fennel. The biggest surprise was the seasonal watermelon feta, which ended up being our favorite dish of the night. The portion was generous for sharing, with thick cuts of cold, juicy watermelon paired with salty feta, fresh herbs and a balsamic-style reduction. The balance of sweet, salty and acidic flavors worked incredibly well. Simple in concept, but memorable in execution. I would return for this dish alone while it's in season. For entrées, we shared the lasagna and halibut. The lasagna was my preference--rich, cheesy, saucy and comforting, especially with the remaining garlic bread for dipping. The halibut was fresh, nicely cooked and paired with fresh vegetables and pesto, although fennel was again a fairly dominant flavor. Personally, I would have preferred it as more of a background note. The hospitality deserves just as much recognition as the food. The husband-and-wife duo appeared to be handling the entire front of house, from welcoming guests to turning tables and checking on diners. Despite juggling so much, they remained warm, attentive and never made the experience feel rushed. Overall, a thoughtful meal with some fresh, genuinely memorable standouts. The watermelon feta, Spicy Watermelon Margarita, mussels with garlic bread, and lasagna would be my must-orders.

Garlic Bread looked like regular wonder bread slices with garlic and parmesan. Nothing special there. The 2 main dishes were plated nice and sides were great but the steak was not cooked evenly at all! Center was medium while the rest of the steak was well done. The person sitting beside me said that his steak was too salty but they use coarse salt so when you but into the steak, you can get a burst of salt whenever you bite. Catch of the day was Halibut. Nothing special with the filet they served at all. Also, for a birthday on a reservation, you would think they would surprise you with a small dessert as a nice gesture but no, they asked if you wanted dessert to purchase. I guess they just care about making profit instead of making a lasting impression. Ambience was nice as it's a very intimate setting but will not go there again. Would rather spend on Il Ritorno.
