No wastage from open wine or over pouring. I have never seen a setup so perfect for both the consumer and the seller. But what really knocked my socks off was the food! The Study only has a cold kitchen but managed to produce a fantastic mini meatball and warm bread spread for $14 and a Medium St Helena Coterie board $25 that really hit home. I drank two glasses of an Argentinian wine. Wing Man Gary (USAF pilot, retired) is on his pain meds so could not partake. I made sure to drink his share of wine as well!

You receive a card and use that to fill your glass (1oz, 3oz and 6oz pours -- 1oz are discounted during happy hour). There's such a diverse variety of wines (more than two dozen), you could get lost in all of the good options. Something for all palates. I tried the small Sonoma board (which was discounted for happy hour) and it was a good-sized, cheese-focused board with solid combinations. the meat and cheeses come with cornichons, olives, and crackers. the caramelized balsamic onion jam was incredible with the sweet blueberry goat cheese and the spicy salami. It's definitely enough for a quick bite to soak up all the delicious wine.

I love the flower concept, and the sandwich and charcuterie offerings are such a fun addition. Their cold brew is fantastic and has become one of my favorites. The wine is priced a bit above average, but honestly, given the atmosphere, unique concept, and the realities of running a small business these days, I completely understand it. The bluegrass-inspired music adds to the charm and creates a relaxed, welcoming environment. I've become somewhat of a regular and familiar face over time because I genuinely enjoy spending time here. The only challenge is that during the Florida summer months, it can be a little harder to fully enjoy the outdoor seating. That said, it's still one of my favorite local spots, and I always look forward to stopping by.

Snappers was packed at 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. However, as it was late July, we were able to get a table outside right away. There are fans to help with the heat, and it's well ventilated so there was a nice breeze. Our server was prompt and friendly. The menu was seafood with an Asian flair. We started with the crab stuffed portobello (probably the weakest part of the meal) and delicious coconut shrimp. After that, our entrees came with salads, which were also great (tortilla chips and a zesty dressing made it more fun than your usual house salad, but it didn't feel too decadent). I got the snapper, which was served over coconut rice and with a delicious curry sauce and mango chutney. The curry reminded me more of thinner Japanese curry versus Indian or Thai, which I loved. The snapper itself was a nicely-sized piece and was cooked/seasoned perfectly with a hint of spice. The coconut sticky rice was so addictive!! The sweetness of the mango chutney just made each bite a wonderful flavor explosion. I would 100% recommend this dish. My husband got the coconut cashew crusted mahi, which was also excellent (and another huge portion of fish). It seems like you can't go wrong here with a fish dish!

Obviously limited seating so plan accordingly; it filled up after I got there around 7:45PM on a Saturday. My food was ready less than 10 minutes after I ordered. I'm not usually a pork person but the milanese here was moist and crispy, bland but perfect with the aioli. The tempura broccolini with spicy anchovies though--new alltime fave. I usually add salt but this dish and the milanese's aioli were both *almost* too salty for me, so if you prefer less seasoning might be worth mentioning when ordering here. Fair prices for portions and quality, will definitely be back with friends to try future menus!

The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and offers outdoor seating by the water. The service was extremely fast and our waiter was quick to give us recommendations on the menu.

The flavors absolutely melted in your mouth and the seafood was cooked to perfection! We did not save room for dessert but everything looked and sounded amazing. You can't go wrong ordering anything on the menu. This is a classic Italian place and hits every mark!

To drink - the "Osaka Mule" and the "Shiso Heavy". Both were good, though we recognized that the Osaka Mule had a slight edge on the Shiso Heavy. Neither of us are normally sake drinkers so this was nice and refreshing for us - the Osaka Mule had nice hints of cucumber and the wasabi salt on the rim was a huge hit with us. To eat - we ordered the gyoza and the miso udon. The gyoza was incredible - an explosion of flavor unlike anything else I've had in a long time. Truly unforgettable and honestly the best part of my entire weekend. The miso udon was good as well - my partner thought the udon might've been just slightly overcooked. We split both and then decided to order the gyudon as well afterwards. The gyudon was also very good - daikon radish was a great addition to the flavor! With respect to the atmosphere/ambience - it's a small place, but cozy. The music was nice - the bartender allowed me to browse some of the records. They have a great collection and I enjoyed listening to several of their selection! It was a little pricy for me, but ultimately, to be expected of such a great experience. Will return again!

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.
