We were in Florida for a quick weekend and wanted to grab some lunch at Stormrunners Tavern while…read morewe were in town. I am glad this was the place we chose, as it was fantastic! What we got: *Mango Meltdown - A frozen drink of mango and strawberry flavors, so refreshing on a warm day at a waterfront restaurant! *Category 5 Crab Tots - neither of us really eat tater tots, but this menu item sounded too good to pass up. I'm glad we went with it because it was hearty and flavorful with all the tots, cheese, and lots of crab! *Crab Cakes - really good crab cakes, with plenty of crab. *Twisted Cauliflower - our server warned us these would be spicy, but we were okay with that. They definitely had a kick from thai sauce and hot honey, but nothing that made it uncomfortable to eat, the right amount of spice. We had ours grilled, and enjoyed every bite. Needless to say, we ordered a fantastic meal of appetizers to split while enjoying the waterfront view on a beautiful day. If you are in the area, I highly recommend!

Btw --ask (if possible) for Alan if you want the best service in St Pete Beach. He was super knowledgeable on every single dish and had the best of recommendations. Something tells me this guys is a true foodie! He said to try the Blue Fin Tuna appetizer which was killer esp with its teriyaki/blueberry sauce. We also split the Coconut Curry Snapper (Thai style curry btw) we added the Crispy Brussel sprouts as an addition. The snapper came out great -- soft, flavorful, and little sweet with a bit of a soft kick that complemented the coconut rice. Overall--it's one of the best spots on St Pete beach and would highly recommend.

Overrated! Ended up…read morehere while visiting the area based on reviews. Perhaps we tried the wrong things, but we were hungry (which usually increases the appreciation for the food), and our choices ranged from not good to good. The dip appetizer- Not good. It was the crab dip with seasoned cheez-it shaped crackers. The crab did not have good flavor and the crackers were over salted. Wasn't a good balance for my taste buds. Didn't eat most of it. The oysters appetizer- Good. They were fresh which is ALWAYS appreciated. I didnt like that the shells weren't rinsed, which led to alot of shell in my slurps and the actual oyster sizes ranged from normal to small. One was almost tiny. My main meal- Good. I had the special...a Blackened Hogfish stuffed with crab and scallops. The fish on it's own was ok, but the bites with the stuffing as the whole were good. The rice and beans along with it were cooked perfectly. My friend had the Blackened Grouper and enjoyed it thoroughly. Desserts- Very Good- 50/50. The Coconut Cheesecake was absolutely DELICIOUS, definitely homemade. The Chocolate Cheesecake was just ok, but killed the sweet treat itch. Ambiance- Tranquil. If you're looking for beautiful scenery while eating pretty good food out on the patio area, this is it. The main dining area upstairs was a typical old seafood diner type vibe. The bathrooms are also located upstairs. Service was informative and attentive. It wasn't the best seafood I've had, but I'd definitely come back for the view. Pricing was fair. Check them out!

There's something comforting about a classic, no-frills seafood spot by the water, and Shells…read moreSeafood delivers exactly that. This is the kind of place that feels like it's been around forever, in the best way. Spacious for the area, lively without being chaotic, and backed by attentive service that keeps things moving even when it's busy. The menu is extensive, and then just when you think you've seen it all, there's a specials board tucked away with even more to choose from. If you can time your visit right, Tuesday is the move. They run a buy one pound, get one pound half off deal on snow crab legs, and it's easily one of the best values around. The snow crab legs are fresh and satisfying, and the Dungeness crab holds its own as well. Both pair perfectly with their rich, drawn butter, simple but done right. Portion sizes here are no joke. The shrimp skewers are almost excessive in the best way. Three skewers loaded with roughly eight shrimp each, so you're looking at around two dozen shrimp total, all a solid medium-large size. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause when it hits the table. The shrimp pasta is another standout and clearly a house favorite. It's packed with flavor and easily one of the more memorable dishes on the menu. Good enough that ordering a second one to-go actually makes sense. The clam chowder, though, was the one miss. While it's loaded with plenty of clam meat and has a hearty base, there's a slightly smoky flavor that throws it off. If you're a chowder fan, it might not hit the mark. Probably something to skip next time. As for the crab cakes, they passed a pretty tough test. A Maryland native at the table gave them a strong approval, which says a lot. Pro tip: Get there early, ideally around lunch, if you want to lock in that snow crab deal. It's popular, and you don't want to risk missing out. Overall, this is a reliable, crowd-pleasing seafood spot that leans into big portions, solid execution, and a relaxed coastal vibe. Whether you're a local or just visiting St. Pete Beach, it's an easy recommendation and definitely worth a return trip.

We decided to come here the night before Valentine's Day, after sunset, and it was well worth it. She got the crabcakes, I got a side salad and a bowl of the clam chowder, which I think is the best chowder in all of St. Pete. She got the shrimp and scallops pasta, while I got the seafood deluxe pasta, and it was out of this world. I had enough to take home for the next night, and we both split the desserts, which we also could only eat half. Our service was amazing, very attentive, and was there when we needed her to be. We cannot wait to go back again in the coming months.

You'll also understand that their food and vibes are so great that they take up two lots of real estate, right across the street from each other, as one restaurant space wasn't enough to contain the masses. The atmosphere is a perfect mix of upscale and quirky in the best way, with mismatched tablecloths lining the outdoor tables and stunning landscaping that truly combines Florida with a traditional Italian trattoria feel. My table ordered (almost) one of everything on the menu and we got to try each others meals, pleased with every dish that hit the table. The homemade pasta was amazing and you definitely can't leave without dessert! My one wish was that portion sizes were larger, as we all felt a bit disappointed once our food was finished, wishing there were more to satiate our hunger. This is such a great spot on the cutest street, and if you're in search of a cute date night spot in St Pete this should be on your list!
