Beautiful murals and quirky decor are located throughout this outdoor restaurant. They have a gorgeous bar inside by the bathrooms if you need to get out of the heat. This is a regular spot of my friends so I was in no way surprised at how good the food was. The shrimp was fresh, crunchy shrimp and the mullets seasons is perfection. Cocktails are above average and reasonably priced. Parking can be a beast though!

This seafood-focused restaurant started us off with a hearty fish spread served alongside crackers…read more The spread was lightly seasoned, with fresh cucumber and jalapeño adding brightness and flavor. The jalapeño, in particular, provided a pleasant kick that elevated the dish nicely. Tedie and I both ordered the grouper tacos. The restaurant keeps things simple, offering each fish prepared in only three different styles. Tedie chose the "Florida Man" preparation (broiled), while I selected the "Dirté."(fried) The fish appeared to be either red or gag grouper. Interestingly, she preferred mine, while I found myself enjoying hers a bit more. The cucumber spaghetti side was refreshing, though I think it could benefit from a bolder flavor profile. It's something I'll likely recreate at home with a bit more seasoning. The Cajun fries were well-executed and made for a satisfying accompaniment. Overall, I'm glad we gave this place a try and would recommend it to others. In terms of value for the money, I'd rate it a solid 7 out of 10.

The star of the dinner was my "Head to Tail Whole Fried Fish" , last night it was a mangrove snapper. I asked the chef to pan fry the fish instead of breaded deep fried version from the menu. It turned out absolutely magnificent, tender inside and crispy outside , with delicate sweet taste of the fresh caught fish! It was a masterpiece! My husband's crab legs were skillfully cooked. However, the weak point of the dinner was seasonal salad. In my opinion, the recipe is not good at all: the combination of goat cheese with Fresno chilis, cucumbers and corn nuts served with mint apricot vinaigrette sounds fancy but it tasted unbalanced and unappealing. The service was very attentive and personal, this restaurant has a cool vibe of the sea shore gathering place. I will be back!

Came here on recommendation from a client and was not disappointed!! Perfect casual spot!…read more Some street parking available, although I'm sure it's competitive on busy nights! Completely outdoor space with bar, small tables, and high tops for small to medium groups! Casual, beachy vibe, with umbrellas and tastefully modern beach decor. Bartender was incredibly friendly, offered wonderful recommendations, and remembered my name throughout my stay! Counter service food, separate from the bar. Fun seafood apps and an intentional mains menu make this a great spot for a light dinner or apps and drinks! I had the daily catch, which was amberjack, citrus rub, with slaw and taters. It was a lovely meal with flaky fish, tangy slaw, and decadent potatoes! Good value for the cost! Had the Gone Fishing to drink, which came served in a themed bobber glass. Rum-forward without being too boozy, balanced with sweetness and nuance from the tea. Surprisingly elevated for a beach bar vibe! Would absolutely recommend! Top it all off with some chill live music and you have the perfect evening for this guy! :)

The prices were awesome: $1 oysters, $5 hush puppies, $5 tacos, $10 cocktails. Everyday from 4-6pm. At that price point you really can't go wrong! For us the oysters were the star of the show... were they the best looking oysters I've ever had? No. Were they amazing for a dollar each? Absolutely yes! The hush puppies were really good as well... not dry at all, perfectly done, and the dipping sauce alongside them was spot on. The tacos were a solid addition to the spread: good flavors, nothing that blew us away, but a nice way to round things out. The shrimp taco was the winner between the two, we'd probably skip the chicken next time. The chorizo creamed corn was a pleasant surprise as well, and I'm not even a big corn person! The outdoor patio has a really cute vibe too... we were there on a cloudy day and it was still charming. Would love to come back on a sunny afternoon and make a proper happy hour afternoon of it. The oysters alone are enough to bring us back. Trophy Fish has officially earned a spot in the regular rotation.

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.

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!

We started with the crab cakes. It was a little salty for me but it was meaty and fresh. The buoy shrimp was expertly fried with a sweet bang bang sauce. A bit too sweet for me but would pair well with a salad (or those salty crab cakes lol) to offset. This was large enough for a meal. My dad really enjoyed the pork belly blt. Pork was a good cut. Nice portion and toasted perfectly. The sunset spritzer with gin, sparkling wine, aperol, lemon and passionfruit has a great punch to it (aka I can taste the liquor and it isn't watered down) well balanced and refreshing. I can sip on these all day. Definitely a place I'd return to and highly recommend in the area. We were a little cautious and basic with our selections, but they delivered above our expectations. I'm confident we wouldn't be disappointed in the other items on the menu. Also, really great service! Kind and attentive.

For myself, I got the gnocchi gorgonzola with chicken and roasted veggies. Such a decadent and filling meal! Don't skip on dessert, the tiramisu and other desserts are indulgent!

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!
