This is a hidden gem on Central in St Pete! Hidden in the sense that there's so many restaurants in…read morethe area, you might miss it. Love this place! Great location, good parking, clean, perfect cheesesteak place and a very accommodating owner. We went straight in on standard Philly Cheesesteaks, and gotta say - they were stellar. In fact, I liked the Cheesesteak here better than the one at Delco's, which is rated as one of the very best in the Tampa area. They've got the Philly staples like egg and peppers, as well as burgers and dogs. Great selection of sodas and Italian ice, as well as really nice seating options outdoors. Highly recommend!

Very simple and straight to the point Phillies. You select your cheese of choice. Make it a platter for $2 more. I will say the word "platter" is deceptive as it's only a small side of bland fries. Drinks are sold separately. They offer sodas and beers. Awesome customer service despite the lackluster in food. I like the interior diner style decor. There's indoor/outdoor seating. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite before or after downtown shenanigans.

We FINALLY tried Pulpo Kitchen & Lounge and WOW, was it good! We wanted an early dinner so we made…read morereservations for 5:15pm on a Friday - it was lovely and quiet at that time, but it got busier as we were leaving. It seems an ideal place to go with friends and order a variety of dishes to sample and share. We began with their signature Peruvian Ceviche with coconut and kafir lime (the non-spicy version for me - there is also an ají amarillo version you can get with a bit of a kick to it) and the Smoked Mussels Toast. The ceviche was served in a deceivingly small bowl that contained a generous amount of fish and it came with crispy plantain chips. The mussels toast is a dish I NEVER would have ordered myself, but I let my husband pick and it turned out to be my favorite surprise of the meal. Served on crispy toast points with salsa macha aioli and a green pepper adobo that worked beautifully together. I could not rave enough about this dish! (Just try it! You'll thank me!) Our next 2 small plates were the Pulpo a la Gallega and the Lollipop Lamb Chops - both incredible. The octopus had a lovely char, but was very tender. It was served with crispy and slightly spicy papas bravas. The lamb chops were served on a bed of pistachio butter - and yeah, it was AS amazing as it sounds. My only complaint is I wanted about 6 more lamb chops...I kid, I kid. But seriously, we will probably order 2 plates of these next time. Deliciously tender and again, had a lovely chargrilled taste to it. At this point, we were too full for any more savory small plates, but, there was just enough room for dessert! We tried the Guava Sorbet, topped with a rum and cream cheese fondant icing and pomegranate seeds. This was light, refreshing, surprising, and I would 100% recommend it to cap off a good meal if you want something a little sweet that isn't too heavy. We also ordered the Mini Churros, which were a little more indulgent, filled with a light custard cream, topped with a sweet and salty plantain and graham cracker crumble, and served with a dark bittersweet chocolate sauce and a tart passion fruit sauce. I don't typically love sauce with my churros, but both of these were so good we practically drank them like shots! For our first experience at Pulpo, it was fantastic! Looking forward to a return visit to try even more of their dishes and cocktails.

The funny thing is that this could be 3 or 4 stars which makes no sense. How can it be both really…read moregood and mediocre. I don't know! Came here solo and sat at the bar. Got a mezcal I have never heard of that was great and the duck and mushroom paella. I think as going to go inexpensive tonight but I saw that on the menu and I had to try it. First, it is an odd paella. It comes out with these roasted peppers and micro greens. It's really green and colorful, but I'm not used to that. The duck was smoked I think and then charred. It was good but it wasn't what I think of when I see duck confit. The paella was great. Or was it. It had such a unique flavor with the duck and the mushrooms that I keep waffling on how much I liked it. A lot. I think. Yeah. A lot. Maybe. Anyway, come here and try it. If nothing else the flavors will surprise you. Chef is very creative and in a good way. I think.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant since it opened but could not convince my family to go…read moresince they did not have AC. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw they got AC and immediately asked my family to visit. We have gone several times since then and we LOVE it. We do make reservations, but there have been open tables for walk-ins each time we have gone. Service is top-notch. We have had the same server each time and he banters well with my family- which makes the experience even better. Now, for the food. I recommend going for happy hour, but we do not always eat that early. Happy hour has great deals on appetizers and drinks. I love their grouper cheek sliders and fish dip. The hot sauce on the table is a datil pepper sauce and so very good. My favorite entrees are the blackened grouper sandwich and the baja-style fish tacos. I really cant wait to try the burger, but I love the other items so much I have a hard time not ordering those each time I go. My husband enjoys oysters and does not trust them at many restaurants. He is willing to pay more for quality, fresh oysters. Cheeky's is the place to go for oysters. He ordered the "best" variety for raw and fell in love with them. He also really likes the lightly breaded and fried oysters. They are not greasy and perfectly cooked every time. Drinks are fantastic. I got a special on Kentucky Derby day, a mint julep and it was so tasty. I usually enjoy their mixed drinks and my husband mixes it up between beer and mixed drinks. Recommend all of them. Intrigued by the Salt & Vinegar martini, but have not tried it yet. The restaurant is usually loud, casual, and lively. I feel completely comfortable bringing my grandkids and not worrying about how loud they are. We love the 'old florida' feel and recommend trying this place. We are already regulars.

We didn't have any food for Sunday there was no food available today…read more We came here for wine - they had two bottles of red, 3 bottles of white (no French or Italian) to choose from. They don't really know wine yet they are excited to learn. We selected one red California (just okay) and 1 Italian Montepulciano (good). The bottle shop on the other side got our attention. We were impressed with their selection yet small- they had a bottle of wine you can no longer get/ its not available (we were impressed). Service- everyone was very nice & accommodating.

I do remember we tried the Bad Bunny and the Paloma, but I ended up switching to regular margaritas which were well done.

Handhelds, fork and knife and even some spoons were involved for this meal. I loved it. I sat outside and it felt great. Tons of fans, a good vibe, I felt like I was on a lil vacation.
