    Parasol is the kind of place that makes you pause not because anything is off, but because everything is just that dialed in. Tucked beside the Vinoy's pool with postcard views of the marina, this spot captures the exact vibe you want from a Florida day: breezy, effortless, elevated. You're shaded just enough by palm fronds and umbrellas, while boats drift in the background and every cocktail arrives as if on cue from some off-stage director of vibes. The menu is tight and thoughtful. My go-to is the shrimp tacos bright, fresh, and perfectly portioned for a poolside lounge. Add a mezcal paloma or their cucumber cooler and you're doing it right. Service is exactly what you'd hope for: friendly but never hovering, casual but sharp. Whether you're in a swimsuit and flip-flops or just wandered out from brunch at Paul's Landing, you'll feel like you belong. Parasol doesn't try too hard because it doesn't have to. It's effortless luxury with a slice of sunshine. Highly recommend as your daytime HQ if you're anywhere near downtown St. Pete.

    Truly Unforgettable Culinary Journey at Red Thread…read more Our dinner at Red Thread was nothing short of spectacular -- a five-star experience from the moment we stepped through the door until the final sip of our after-dinner drink. We visited to celebrate a milestone birthday, and the team not only met but exceeded every expectation, weaving subtle, thoughtful surprises into the evening that made us feel truly special. The atmosphere is opulent yet completely approachable -- warm, intimate, and alive with cultural richness. You can feel the intention behind every detail: the plush banquettes adorned with intricately embroidered throw pillows, the soft glow of lantern-style lighting, and the perfectly placed gold-tipped cocktail picks that make even the smallest moment feel curated. It's elegant without pretense, like being welcomed into a beautifully kept secret along the Silk Road. Service was led by Katie and Elijah, who were nothing short of exceptional. Their warmth, precision, and deep knowledge of both the menu and the restaurant's rich aesthetic elevated the entire evening. They guided us with confidence, shared stories behind the dishes, and ensured every need was met before we even voiced it. Now, the food -- where do we begin? Red Thread delivers flavors that are bold, layered, and deeply authentic. We started with the spread and small bites platter, and it was immediately clear we were in for something extraordinary. The tabbouleh was bright and herb-forward, with finely chopped parsley, tomato, and bulgur kissed by lemon -- a perfect balance of freshness and zing. The falafel were golden-crisp on the outside, tender within, and served with a bright mint yogurt. So delish! For our mains: the salmon, seasoned with fragrant za'atar and resting atop creamy spanakorizo (spinach and rice), was cooked to buttery perfection. The addition of crumbled feta and a cooling lemon yogurt sauce brought a bright, tangy contrast that elevated every bite. The pork chop, served with tri-color potatoes and glazed in a rich port beurre rouge with rosemary and a whisper of parmesan, was magnificent -- juicy, deeply savory, and beautifully seared. And the beef short rib? Unbelievably tender, with a warm curry base, sweet-spicy melon kimchi, and saffron rice that perfumed the air. The cardamom chèvre melted into the mix, adding a creamy, floral depth that was nothing short of inspired. Every dish told a story -- of distant lands, ancient trade routes, and a chef who clearly treats spice like sacred heirloom. To know these flavors are crafted with spices imported directly from the regions that inspired them explains the unmatched authenticity in every bite. Red Thread stands alone in St. Petersburg -- not just in flavor, but in feeling. We'll be back -- no question -- to explore their brunch and dive deeper into this beautiful narrative they've created on a plate. To everyone reading: This is the kind of restaurant that deserves to be discovered, celebrated, and filled to capacity every single night. Go. Taste. Feel. Red Thread isn't just dinner -- it's a journey. And it's not to be missed.

    We finally checked out Red Thread and it was delicious!…read more Great ambiance (both indoors and their outdoor courtyard, can't go wrong with either option) that fits the "silk road" vibe, with awesome food and friendly service. We started with the dip trio (beet hummus, olive tapenade, and babaganoush with fluffy pita triangles), which was fantastic. Each dip had an awesome flavor, especially the beet hummus. We also got the tahini, date, and cashew salad and loved it. My husband isn't a salad guy and said he'd only have a bite, but then he ate half. The rich and spicy tahini mixed with the sweet date, creamy cashew, and fresh/crisp salad was such a great flavor combo. I will note, they go heavy with the tahini on the salad, but we weren't complaining. I got the zataar salmon for my main. A deliciously spiced zataar crust on top of a delicately flaky salmon made for a wonderful meal. My husband got the kafta en croute, which were ground lamb/beef meatballs surrounded by a flaky pastry and topped with pomegranate over a tahini sauce. I kept stealing bites (which was fine, there was plenty to share) it was so good and such a unique entrée! For drinks, they have uniquely spiced cocktails and mocktails. The drinks took longer to arrive than the food, but they were worth the wait. We were too stuffed for dessert, but next time we want to try their tiramisu (made with Turkish coffee and cardamom). We had a wonderful meal and will be back! The sad thing was that half the restaurant was empty. We think it's a unique addition to DTSP and is definitely worth checking out.

There is both indoor and outdoor seating here, and we chose to eat inside when we visited for Sunday brunch. We had a reservation, but we made it only an hour in advance, so while I would still recommend given the restaurant is not huge, I don't think it is imperative. The inside of the restaurant is a great vibe and has a lot of character. Definitely a great date spot restaurant. The service was great. Our server was knowledgable on the menu, gave great recommendations and checked in on us often. The food was delicious. We ordered items a la carte for brunch and I don't have anything negative to say about any of it. The portion sizes were great, we definitely did not leave hungry. The scrambled eggs were perfectly soft scrambled. The smoked salmon toast was also amazing as was the beef tartare. This is a great brunch spot!

    Restaurant in downtown St Petersburg great location lots of energy great service indoor and outdoor…read moretables and a nice bar. Now let's talk about the food: It was not all fantastic. The appetizers: Tuna tartare was nothing special it also didn't come with any bread or chip just plop on the plate. The goat cheese appetizer special was a small circle with oily crusted bread. One main course was 1/2 rack of lamb cooked perfectly and nice portion, Za'atar cauliflower nice portion didn't taste like Za'atar. Pasta dish had to add black pepper was ok. I must say the cucumber vodka soda spritzer was super refreshing!! The service was great, atmosphere, they really tried but must of had an off kitchen night. We were also disappointed items on the website were not available.
