    Leftover omelette croissant sandwich with home fries
    Alyssa M.

    We got here and were seated immediately, and our food came within 10 minutes of ordering. The food was very tasty, I got an omelette croissant sandwich and it was really fresh and delicious. The home fries are nicely seasoned and very crispy. The ambiance is cute, a pretty typical beachy touristy place. The parking can be tricky in this area so just something to keep in mind. The food is pretty pricy for what it is but that's not surprising for a beach restaurant. Overall yummy and has some unique offerings!

    Showed up Sunday for brunch & this place was busy! We got seated right away, even though when we first signed it there were about 8 tables in front of us. The menu has a variety of food options so anybody will be satisfied here. The food was delicious, perfect breakfast spot. The potions were big & everything had great flavor. The biscuits & gravy were amazing! Highly recommend coming here while in St Pete!

    We heard many good reviews of La Croisette, especially from a French born woman who worked down the street from it! We went for a late breakfast/brunch and were not disappointed. My wife had the French crêpe with bananas and chocolate, and an egg on the side for protein. I had heard wonderful things about their croissant French toast. So I ordered it and again it was fantastic. I got some sausage along the side. They do have Texas toast style French toast too, and cinnamon bun French toast! We sat outside under the canopy and the atmosphere was fantastic. They are only open for breakfast until 2. We may go back this week while we're in St Pete Beach. Their menu is extensive with crêpes and eggs and your standard American style breakfast along with some lunch sandwiches. Highly recommended!

    This was just ok for us. Food was ok - "home fries" were dry and over seasoned. Our waitress was grumpy - maybe she was just having a bad day. The coffee was good.

    poached egg! (eggs Benedict)

    Such a gem in St. Pete - I will def be stopping here every time I visit the area. Sometimes a sweet breakfast is not it for me but La Croisette knows what they are doing. They have very friendly staff and seating inside and outside. From delicious, fresh fruit on the crepes, to the famous tasty, well-seasoned potatoes, La Croisette was IT for me! Definitely a great brunch spot. Will def return and try more!

    Easy parking, handicapped accessible, and I've been coming here for the past 30 odd years. After rebuilding the restaurant from the last two hurricanes, La Croisette is up to full steam and running full throttle. The staff is attentive as ever. Going into the restaurant around 8:00 AM on a Wednesday morning, the place was slow to steady My friend ordered the Paris Express which consisted of poached eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, Swiss cheese home fries and a hollandaise sauce on top On the side was a croissant. With a sweet tea. I ordered two scrambled eggs, home fries, and toast. With a coffee. Our orders were quick to come out, and my dear friend loved the poached eggs combo. My two eggs arrived, hard scrambled unseasoned, and very flavorless. The home fries look like they were deep-fried from a bag. They were the square cut pieces of potato that were uninviting. I put hot sauce and ketchup on them along with some salt, and they were edible. But here's my bitch, what's with the one slice of toast when this breakfast is $9.00?!!!! Anywhere in the world you go for breakfast you get two slices of toast. Is this place too bougie to give me two pieces of toast? I loved our server, as she knows the town, the product, and the joys of life. So with all said, this is still the go to place for breakfast, and also for lunches as I see the half pound burger is a special. To the owners, two freaking pieces of toast, please. And no, I'm not gonna pay a dollar for another slice. So for this you lose a star. I will return, but I want two pieces of toast, please

    Sausage Benedict
    Brennan S.

    La Croisette blends casual beach diner and French cuisine in a tasteful, pleasant way. I was super impressed by the friendliness of the staff. I went early in the morning and the waitresses were literally sunshine. The food was equally happy. The sausage Benedict i got was salty, savory and the perfect portion size. I opted for blueberries on the side and they were fresh and tart- yummy! Highly recommend La Croisette.

    We found this cute little diner on Yelp and had to give it a try! The line was out the door on a beautiful sunny Florida morning, but well worth the wait. The owner was kind and friendly, quickly bussing and cleaning tables as they left to make room for us, and our server was the friendliest lady we have met down here! The breakfast - to. die. for! The flavors were fresh, delicious.

    Casual dining, comfortable and safe.

    So, I heard of this place as the best breakfast in town. Well it's is... Christina was great and served us with a smile. Very friendly place with amazing folks that seem to like it here. Remember to support your local grubbery so we both starve...

    Croissant egg sandwich with House potatoes
    Katrina P.

    A cinnamon roll.. but turned into French toast, sooooo delicious. The croissants are buttery and crispy on the outside, yet soft on the inside. The bacon was cooked to perfection, crispy, not one chewy part which is exactly how I like bacon. The little potatoes were perfectly seasoned. Overall, a must go when in St Pete

    The food was SO good. Service was amazing. It came out literally under 10 minutes of us ordering. Was very fresh and yummy 100% recommend.

    Banana bread French toast, traditional breakfast

    This is hands down my favorite breakfast spot in st Pete. The specialty banana bread French toast was by far the best thing I've ever eaten.

    Croissant Chicken Sandwich
    Hannah V.

    I've seen this place a few times driving in town and finally got the chance to try it out. I wish I've gone sooner! I got the fried chicken croissant sandwich and a bit disappointed when it came out with chicken tenders on it. The potatoes were the star of the meal. Very well seasoned and crispy. We got a crepe to share that was more toppings than crepe it was so thin. Overall, I'd be back to enjoy another meal here with the outdoor seating and friendly staff.

I enjoyed sitting outside, right by the beach, at a very sunny picnic table with an umbrella for partial shade. Bring your sunscreen as I did and all is well! It was fun to take in the whole slightly chaotic but totally safe family-friendly scene on a holiday morning! Energizing! Parking is a challenge but hey, I like to walk and explore so I had fun with it. Just be aware, some searching for a public or nearby parking spot may be required. Carpooling or ride sharing is recommended if possible. I'm on a strict no-fried-food, no chemicals, no preservatives, no gluten, no sugar, no dairy diet so choices for breakfast were limited as expected. All good. I enjoyed my properly cooked eggs and the lady who took my order was kind and helpful. I should have ordered the fruit bowl as well but I didn't see it on the menu until now. No problem! Next time! My guests also said their paradise omelets were properly cooked and delicious! Our food also was prepared in a very reasonable amount of time considering the crowd which was impressive! Please do not expect eggs Benedict, table cloths and fancy plates. This is a fun place right on the beach with plastic silverware and styrofoam containers. @Peter and Vandana joined for the meal and we laughed, relaxed, ate, chatted, took in the scene, enjoyed the morning and then... Vandana brought out the huge conch shell. I was first to attempt tooting the massive horn but it just wasn't happening. Peter was a bit better than I. Vandana, on the other hand, warned ships well over the horizon that we were here and ready for fun! Kids jumped and clapped their hands. Adults stared in stunned silence. Everyone was deafened. My Apple Watch warned me of dangerous audio conditions that might cause permanent hearing damage if the sound kept up! It was an awesome and skilled display of awesomeness! This was no simple toot. It was a blast! Thank you Vandana! Memorable to say the least! Plus, I can still hear just fine and dandy. Life is a blast with a fun and very memorable meal on the beach! Thanks Paradise Grille!

The views are beautiful, and the location is right on the beach. There are plenty of spaces in the lobby for working, plenty of meeting rooms (or ball rooms if you're there for a formal event), and areas to just relax or work. The resort provides live music various days of the week as well. I will say that I was surprised about the lack of dining options. There is a lobby bar (which doesn't open until 3pm), and just two restaurant options. Maritana is only open a few days a week and not open until 5:30pm, although the lobby bar does serve a few small plates. The Society Table has a bar within their restaurant (Rowe Bar I believe), and I experienced both as they both have different menus. The lobby bar menu is small but great; the Wagyu Sliders and charcuterie board were both delicious. The wine list is fairly extensive as well. I dined at the society table for lunch on the day that I left and I got the Gumbo with jalapeño cornbread. This was very delicious; I do feel there should've been more than a few pieces of chopped up shrimp. My waitress was wonderful though and very kind as well as the hostess. For the days we were provided food by the resort for the work conference, I was very impressed! All of the breakfast, lunch, and dinner options were incredibly extensive, fresh, and delicious. The servers were very attentive and helpful. The room service menu although overpriced and included a $5 "delivery charge," is very extensive and tasty. For example, an omelet with toast (small salad included with the omelette), was almost $60 including tip. That being said, it was the best omelette I've ever had. The guest services for room service and the cleaners were incredibly friendly and helpful, especially Evan! Do note that this is a cashless resort. There are a few shops on the first floor for souvenirs, basic necessities for traveling, and then an adorable little shop/café with ice cream, coffee, wine, snacks, and drinks. On to the room! I really enjoyed my room. I feel like for one person or even two, it's a pretty spacious room. The bed was very comfortable as well as pillows. They cleaned my room each day, and provided new towels. The bathroom was clean and a decent size for one person. All of the events that the hotel put on for our conference were outstanding. We had a welcome party and a beach party, and I was incredibly impressed. The food was delicious, the staff incredibly attentive and kind, and the music wonderful! The Don CeSar was the perfect place for our conference and I would highly recommend a company conference there. Between the delicious food, impeccable service, beautiful resort, and location right on the beach, I would recommend this spot for an event, quick getaway, or staycation.

A straightforward menu gives a decent variety and the chef delivered on the flavor. We had the egg Benedict the Gudda grits, and the (not so) French toast. Overall, the food was delicious, but I was extremely disappointed with the "French toast" for some reason, the chef opted for not doing an egg/milk bath for their French toast, which to me is a grave mistake, who wants to dry French toast? This liberty could be excused, and tolerable for the sake of creativity and innovation, IF it was openly, shared on the menu, or by the server. However, this came to a COMPLETE surprise to me AFTER ordering and receiving it. I've never had DRY French toast, nor do I ever wish to again despite the tasty toppings and well executed cinnamon butter cream, it was still not an enjoyable experience, especially if you're expecting classic French toast. That said the eggs Benedict was phenomenal. The pork is perfectly cooked. The biscuits are light and fluffy. And the sauce was immaculate. The Gudda grits surprise me while not being creamy in the same way of grit, I've had in the past, these retained their grit structure, but it kind of melted in your mouth, providing that creamy texture and they add chopped bacon and a sweet I would guess type of reduction in just the right amount to balance the flavor of the Gudda. I do wish they had sausage and hash browns. But it's not that kind of place. My last complaint would be in the potatoes that come with the Benedict. Whatever other option, they have picked those get anything, but those ours came undercooked, and they refried them for us, and they still were just below average which for a place like this. I expected more. Overall, not a bad place. The coffee was phenomenal. I had a dirty Matcha, and it was perfectly executed. Prices aren't terrible for what you'd expect from downtown St Pete at a fancy place, so I was happy. Service was good and friendly. After I expressed my dissatisfaction with the French toast, the manager came over and offered his apologies and remove the item from my bill, even offered to bring us something else, and to have a beverage to go to make up for it. However, I was at the end of our mail and I was ready to get going with the rest of my day, so I said thank you and we departed. Overall, I will not come back for French toast but that eggs Benedict. I would definitely come back and try something else as well. Give it a shot. Just DONT get the French toast. If you like normal French toast.

Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.

    WARNING-VERY HONEST REVIEW…read more We eat out a lot and mostly leave positive reviews but we can't in good faith give Breeze a good review. First, we arrived at 12 noon, put in our name with Sofia who gave us a 20-30 minute wait time. When we returned 25 mins later, the party in front of us was complaining about waiting an hour yet she told them we were before them and she didn't have their name. She proceeded to seat them discretely before us. After 50+ minutes we said something. She told us to leave a bad review and to leave the restaurant. We had waited so long and lost opportunities to put in our name at other restaurants so we decided to wait. After an hour, we said something. We had watched another table waiting the last 20 minutes for their bill so they could pay and leave. Finally the manger came out and said no worries, we would have a table and he got us seated quickly. He assigned Nate as our waiter. We were optimistic that we were on our way to a great brunch as one person in our party had come to the restaurant and had a good experience before and so we were hopeful. We immediately placed our order since we had time to review the menu, we asked for waters and drinks. Water never came until we asked again. Silverware never came until we asked for silverware. . When the food did come it was meh. Crepe was dry, wrap was cold, best part of the meal was the Bloody Marys. The table next to us overheard our conversation and said they were also having an awful experience with the staff and would not return. Nate then told us we were difficult for no reason. When we had asked for the bill he told us he didn't divide it in 2 bills because he did it on purpose. He also said "my name is Nate, go ahead and write a bad review about me". We never intended to write any reviews. It was just an awful experience. We will never return and it would have taken such a small effort to make amends once we were seated, but instead the staff was rude and instigated patrons who were giving the restaurant business.

    SOLID 5 STARS! My…read moreniece, Laura, and her partner, Rich, are visiting from Chicago. She wanted a restaurant with outdoor seating, a view of the water, an excellent wine list, fine dining selections, AND open on a Monday night. I cried for Help from Yelp. 82 Degrees nailed all 5 criteria. At 6:15pm We were able to make an on-line reservation for three people for 6:30pm. Be careful to only park in spots designated for the restaurant or you will be towed. You can't miss the parking signs because they are plastered on every parking spot. We arrived and were immediately shown to a choice rooftop table just in time to enjoy a fine view of the sunset on the Gulf. After the sun set the bartender asked the diners at the dozen or so tables if they wanted the huge glass windows closed, and since it was starting to get chilly everyone agreed. My niece is very knowledgeable about wine, so she took charge of the wine list. After discussing the (Admittedly small, but well selected) list with the sommelier Laura chose the Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon, a well-regarded, bold red wine from Paso Robles, California (4.8 Stars rating, I looked it up). She must have liked it, because she drank two glasses. Later on, she ordered a Pinot Grigio to go with her entree but I've forgotten the name. She also chose specialty drinks for Rich and I that were tasty and had a nice kick to them, but I don't remember their names either. I would have taken a picture of the drinks menu but my niece wouldn't let go of the list! (Which also meant we couldn't see the prices either, but like the saying goes: If you have to ask, you can't afford it!) It took us a while to study the menu. Just like the wine list, the menu has limited selections but offers excellent choices. It was hard to make a decision! We started off sharing Crab Cakes ($18) and Lobster Bruschetta ($21) appetizers, and we also shared an order of the Lobster Bisque ($15). All three of us agreed that the appetizers were yummy, but the Lobster Bisque was worth the trip all by itself! For my entree I ordered the Wild Caught Snapper with mango pineapple salsa and broccolini ($36) and Truffle Fries ($9). Rich went with the Grouper BLT ($26) and Laura chose the Parmesan Cream Pasta ($26) (Which was why she needed a white wine to go with her entree). Portions did not appear to be large, yet none of us were able to finish our entrees, leaving plenty for Rich and Laura to take home in biodegradable containers for a midnight snack. I'm sorry I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of the entrees. Rich and Laura are not used to snapping pics before digging in, but I can tell you they were all well presented. Even though we were all full, we couldn't resist sharing a slice of: SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERFINGER CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! ($12). Just the name tells you everything you need to know. While Rich and I were dueling with our forks, Laura swooped in and ate most of the dessert, which is totally unfair but is a legitimate female perk so there was nothing we could do. Next time we'll order more than one slice! Our perky waitress was extremely busy serving everyone but managed to keep the entire restaurant happy with her service. I don't think I saw her standing still for more than a couple seconds. Didn't get her name, either, but I'm sure the excellent tip told her we were pleased.

    Very disappointed to have our New Years Eve dinner reservation (5:30 PM) cancelled the early…read moremorning of 12/31/25. We scrambled to find another establishment for dinner and fortunately for us, Beau & Mo's Italian Restaurant came through! We will think twice about visiting 82 Degrees in the future. We have dined here before with no issues.
