We went here for "date night" and had a great dinner/experience. As soon as we walked in we were greeted by 2 hostess with a big smile. One of the girls sat us down immediately. The bar in this place is huge and the restaurant had TONS of seating. I ordered the sangria and my boyfriend ordered a Stella. They had a wide range of drink choices, and the menu was very creative. We ordered 4 rolls between both of us and the pork belly appetizer. All and all our bill turned out to be around $120-something. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS!!! I was so incredibly stuffed. We are absolutely keeping this for date night options. read more

The Menu here is awesome and super creative. You can bring the pickiest eater here and they will surely find something they love. The vibe here is great too - full bar and pool tables. Don't forget to buy the sushi chef's a round of beers! read more

Came here for brunch with a bunch of friends. Parking can be quite tricky, thankfully there's lots to see on the way back to/from the restaurant. The decor is all over the place, i couldn't understand the theme of the restaurant. Despite our big group, the servers were amazing. Def order the pitcher of mimosas, very much worth it and yes they're quite strong. I ordered The Mighty Thor burger with sweet potato fries. While the burger was fantastic, the bacon was beyond charred. It left a bitter taste in my mouth. I did remove it to fully enjoy the burger. Overall, I had a great time. read more

Went in on a Tuesday and they had great specials going on. I ended up doing a Tuesday Pick Two special for $30 and chose to go with the Red Dragon & Hollister. Ambiance was great, servers were great however, the sushi was just OK. The rolls were huge and the rice was a little too wet. There are sooo many sushi places open in the area, I would probably not be back for sushi, but I'd surely try other items on the menu. read more

Food was good, definitely try the Lava drops appetizer! I got the spicy tuna roll and dackerette - spicy tuna was great & I liked the dackerette but it was slightly runny if that makes sense - maybe overcooked. Ambiance is cool, the music was good! The servers did take a little long to get to our table for how slow it was but overall the experience was nice, I'd go back! read more

One of our favorite places in DTSP and their sushi is excellent! There is something to say about their cold, dead fish! We love sitting at the bar as the bartenders are always up for good conversation. We have been for brunch and lunch and always throw in the brussel sprouts no matter what we are ordering as they are the best in St. Pete. Definitely worth a try as the menu has a lot of great options. read more

Extensive menu w/ delicious options. Wish I had more room to explore and with that in mind I will be back! Pictured sushi & tacos did not disappoint. Sat at the bar, service was attentive and friendly - provided local favorites and personal recommendations. We walked in around 9-10pm on a Friday night. The place was steady, not a full house but neither empty so I gather it can get busy. read more

Nice sushi and more joint on the Central Ave corridor. So many options. Tacos are great, the steamed cod poke bowl was awesome, California roll was very good. Canna, our server was knowledgeable, efficient and personable. Our friends raved about it and they weren't wrong. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Finally checked this spot out and was not disappointed! It was happy hour from 4pm-7pm Monday-Friday. We came on a Friday around 5:30pm and were seated immediately. Plenty of seating inside and outside. I ordered the Lava Drops, which are individually rolled nori and rice balls stuffed with spicy kani salad and cream cheese cooked tempura style. It is topped with eel sauce and spicy mayo. This was a happy hour item. It was good! I also ordered The Onolicious, which is birria style cooked beef and chihuahua cheese in a fresh egg roll. It is served with a chipotle aioli. This was $12. I ordered That's Amore Roll, which is spicy tuna (I swapped for regular tuna), cream cheese, cucumber, topped with eel and avocado and drizzled with spicy mayo and eel sauce. This was $16. This was excellent! I also ordered The Hunter Roll, which is shrimp tempura, cream cheese, avocado, and cucumber. It is topped with tempura whitefish, avocado, eel sauce, spicy mayo, wasabi mayo, scallions, and smelt roe. This was $15. Excellent and fresh! Would come back and recommend! Had a great variety of rolls and other items! read more

TLDR: organic rosé (yum!), birria egg rolls (mouthwatering), eel roll (solid). I love The Lure, and I love even more when I decide to go rogue and try new-to-me things and end up absolutely loving them. The menu here is tough. Tough as in, there are too many things that sound amazing and it's hard to choose. Decided to go with tapas for an appetizer and sushi for a main so I could get the best of both worlds. Also really enjoyed my wine- I try to stick with organic when it comes to wine so this was perfect! read more

A must try when in St Pete's! You will not be disappointed. We were able to get an indoor table within 15 minutes of the busy dinner rush. The hostess took down our name and called us within 10-15 minutes as she told us. Upon seating our server was extremely friendly and helpful with making recommendations. We started with two appetizers and then ordered some rolls to share afterwards. The Onolicious Plate was a birria style beef served in egg rolls with a chipotle dipping sauce. It was good and probably would order something else if I came back. The Ike was a bacon wrapped jalapeño shrimp served over rice and beans. We were all fighting over this dish it was delicious. I recommend ordering two if with a larger group. We ordered the shrimp tempura roll, spicy yellowtail roll, red dragon roll, and some tuna nigiri to share. The rolls are big and filling. We were full and just able to eat all of ours. The fish is fresh and well worth the price. The only downside of the Lure was the two individual bathrooms in the back of the restaurant. Which felt like I waited 30minutes to finally use the restroom. The inside is well cooled and decorated for a hipsterish vibe. There is ample seating both indoors and out. read more

The amount of options and variety is insane. Great deals on mondays (25%) off tapas. The ranch was so good too. Didn't love my tacos but would definitely go back to try something else, there were so many options I couldn't decide. read more

The Lure is in a great downtown St. Pete location, right next to lots of shops and easy to walk around before or after you eat. The food was really good...this is the first place I've been where I could really enjoy both a burger and sushi, which are two of my favorites! The burger was well-seasoned and cooked just right, and the tater tots were crispy and amazing. The sushi tasted fresh and was a great complement to the meal. Service was good and attentive. I just stopped in for a quick lunch but there's a nice-sized bar and pool tables, and it looks like a fun spot for adults hang out and vibe. Definitely need to come back and check it out again with some friends. Lots of great food options. read more

Fun spot for sushi and the bar scene. There are pool tables and it's on a busy street on central avenue. However, if you're going to eat authentic sushi and sit at a sushi bar this is not your spot. This is more a fun place that has sushi and tapas. Not my favorite sushi restaurant. read more

I love this place, my favorite spot downtown! They have such a wide variety of food, everyone can find something to eat. The ambience inside is great, the pool tables are a nice touch. Outside seating available as well as bar seating. Try the Lava Drops!! read more

We had a big group on a Saturday and we're treated well. Our server was friendly and accommodating. The menu is pretty expansive. I got a sushi bowl and it was above average. My companions liked their sushi. Would come again. read more

Always great food and service at The Lure. We regularly come to dinner as it's our favorite sushi plus spot! Typically we have edamame as an appetizer but I saw this Tuna Trio as a weekend special so we had to try it! Such fresh sushi served three ways with great flavor and beautiful presentation. Next we had my personal favorite, The DTSP roll and my guy had the Taste of Rainbow. The service was great as always and we enjoy the laidback eclectic atmosphere. Today was beautiful so they had the front garage door open to get a full indoor/outdoor experience. Several times we have played pool at their billiards table post meal. It's a great spot with a vast array of menu options outside of just sushi. Their Brussel sprouts are another great favorite as well as their crab cake Benedict. Great for brunch, lunch or dinner! read more

Solid fun sushi joint in St. Pete! First time trying it out and we easily snagged 2 seats at the bar. Tuna tartare app was delicious -- red dragon roll for dinner stole the show!

Last minute change in our plans led us here for happy hour. It's been awhile since I been here and I've only been for brunch years ago. Service was very efficient but they didn't have a lot of the things we wanted to order that evening. I ended up grabbing a Salmon Poke bowl with Tangy chili sauce and The Miller. My cousin ordered the Hugo and Onolicious. The poke bowl was very fresh and the sauce was delicious. The Miller stole the show for my though: Deviled Eggs with Lobster filling I'll definitely be back for that specifically. The Hugo was a buffalo style cauliflower and the Onolicious is a birria. Style cooked beef served in an egg roll wrap. Overall, the meal was great! However, the selection just lacked variety in my opinion for someone that doesn't eat a lot of beef or pork. A lot of the menu items contained bacon in the descriptions. read more

The Lure is always a great choice! We got Joey's Big Ass Meatballs to start, and I had a bowl--so good! The birria grilled cheese is my absolute favorite. The vibe here is great, the drinks are on point, and it's always busy--which is a good sign. Sometimes it can be tough to get a table, but it's totally worth it. Highly recommend if you're looking for good comfort food or sushi! read more

What a fun and fantastic place. On a recent trip to St Pete we wandered around for awhile before deciding to give "The Lure" a shot. Boy were we happy with the choice. It's essentially a Bar / Restaurant but unlike many bar / restaurants, the food is fantastic ! We had the nachos with carnitas, the bire stuffed Onoculous egg rolls, the tinga chicken tacos. We also ordered the Cori sushi roll. The have a decent to good selection of craft beers, an ok wine list and a fully stocked bar. The servers all seemed really great (especially ours). I really look forward to coming back to try some of the other awesome things on the menu. read more

This restaurant literally has everything you could possibly crave. They have sushi, sandwiches, tapas, flatbreads, tacos, etc. We got a combination of sushi rolls, birria tacos, and nachos with carne asada meat. This was definitely much more food than we could eat! Wifey said the sushi was bomb! I really enjoyed the tacos. The consommé that came with the tacos was delicious. The tacos themselves were also delicious and so were the nachos. Overall, this is a must try place if you happen to be in Saint Pete! read more

Food is always really good and consistent. Drinks are good as well and service is okay. Only downside is the price. $78 with tip for one person is a lot for a casual restaurant. $15 per drink, $20 per sushi roll etc. read more

The Lure is a pretty cool Asian Fusion restaurant. I stopped by for lunc the other day for sushi and the bar service was great and the sushi was solid. The vibe here is welcoming and seems to be a pretty popular face. The bar is large so there is plenty of seating. read more

Went here on a little girls trip--super cute spot with great vibes. Definitely a fun place for a bachelorette dinner or if you're planning to go out after since it's right in the heart of downtown. Our server was awesome--super friendly and really attentive the whole time. The issue was the pricing. We ordered the sushi board, which was listed as $125 and said we could pick 2-3 rolls, and the rest would be chosen by the chef. Sounded great... until we got the bill and realized we were also charged separately for the rolls we picked(**no where did it say this **) That just felt misleading. If the menu says $125, that should be the price. To make it worse, the rolls the chef chose were super basic--tuna, sweet potato, and a California roll--and they were each priced around $18. That felt kind of ridiculous, especially considering the overall quality was definitely not worth what we paid. Id compare it to my local shop rites sushi- super yummy! But not worth 180$ lol I would just stick to individual rolls if I ever came back read more

I went during happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by how many items were available on the happy hour menu. The food was amazing. The service was a bit slow, but the restaurant was busy, so it was understandable, just be aware that drinks may take a little while. I also tried the dragonberry mojito, which tasted very similar to a regular mojito. read more

Our server was with us within a minute of arriving and she was very funny and nice. Overall the people were all super nice and funny. Now for the main event the food; The starter was great it was sweet salty with a bit of freshness to it. I had the pork belly with mac and cheese and my friend had a sushi roll,I don't remember the names of the dishes. My dish was great the mac and cheese was amazing i mean out of this world, but for my friend the sushi was lacking in flavor. read more

Good packaging for a delivery as I greatly appreciated them not squeezing my rolls into a small container. read more

Delicious!! We spilt the onolicious birra style eggs rolls and ono quesabirra tacos. Really enjoyed the tacos! Very tasty and the side of consome was really good! For sushi rolls we got the jasmine from the block and holleys roll. WOW! These rolls were incredible. The holleys roll with fresh wahoo and herb aioli blew my mind. Packed with flavor! As for the jasmine from the block, I usually don't go for rolls with mango but this one was super refreshing and so yummy! Definitely recommend!! read more

We were looking for a good local sushi place and this one was highly recommended. They even had a large sushi roll menu to choose from (the entire back side of the large printed menu was specialty sushi rolls). But overall, the sushi was just average. Not to say the sushi tasted bad, but it wasn't anything special. We have had some grocery store sushi that has compared to the rainbow roll. When the rolls first came out, I was surprised to see how small they were. I have paid for $15-$17 sushi rolls before, and they have always been a bigger size with more quality fish added to them. These rolls were much smaller than I would have hoped, and the rainbow roll was topped with extremely thin pieces of fish. This surprised me especially because the price tag was $18.50 each. I would have thought we earned a little more fillings in our roll. And again, the flavor was nothing special so this meal ended up being a very expensive yet average small meal. Looking beyond the food, the inside of the restaurant very clean and welcoming with an upscale interior. Service was decent, and we got our food pretty quick with no problems. We most likely won't come back here as I am sure there are MUCH better sushi restaurant options in the area at a MUCH more affordable price. read more

Recently, this has been our new favorite place to go! We love the tapas as there are so many options. Not to mention sushi. We have stopped in a few times and have had friendly service and food quality has not wavered either time. It's a smaller brownstone, but surprisingly there is a lot of seating. There are two large pool tables for enjoyment also. Sunday is hospitality day, so if you are in the hospitality industry, they offer you a discount. It's amenities like these that truly reel me in. Working people serving other working people! Food is by far amazing and it's in a great location downtown. Parking is hit or miss depending on what time of day you're trying to squeeze in. read more

Great seafood restaurant! I went here with my bachelorette party group as it was a request of mine we all shared a sushi boat. We got the one with 8 rolls (can't remember the name) where we could choose 3, and the rest were chef's choice. We chose 3 from the specialty menu (that's the best value, don't choose any 3 from the classic menu). We devoured the sushi boat and it was just the right amount to split for 3.5 people (.5 = pregnant friend, she could only eat the veggie rolls or fully cooked rolls). The drinks are very big, so choose accordingly. I got a cucumber- mint drink and it wasn't exactly to my liking. I wish I had gotten a different drink. The service was good, quick, and attentive. we went on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy. read more

This review is for a delivery order using DoorDash. I ordered the following: - 5-piece nigiri appetizer ($16.50) - spicy salmon roll ($11) - Pretty in Pink roll, which was described as a salmon and cucumber roll topped with lemon zest and served with ponzu sauce ($17.50) - Voodoo Chips ($15), which was described as "a salad blend of tuna, shrimp, spicy kani, diced mangos, scallions and smelt roe, topped with avocado and dusted with tempura chips. Served with wonton chips" - miso soup ($8.50) I've never paid so much for bad food. After tip, my bill was $71.41. Everything was inedible. Dry rice. Tastless fish. Soggy wontons topped with a mushy mixture of fish. To make it worse, customer service was shocking. My husband drove to the restaurant to show the food to the manager and ask him to rectify the situation. Instead, he got attitude along with an offer to "top off" the soup. Thank goodness I used DoorDash and got a full refund. We'd been there before and had a good time with enjoyable food, but something changed drastically in the past year or so since our last visit. There certainly won't be another one. read more
