Brick & Mortar

Brick & Mortar is such a cozy and charming spot for dinner! The vibe is intimate and inviting, and the service was excellent--the waiters made sure everything was just right.We ordered the burger and the short rib with fat noodles. The short rib dish was the standout for me--so flavorful and such a generous portion! Every bite was comforting and satisfying. For dessert, we tried the doughnut bread pudding, which was good, though we didn't love the abundance of coconut shavings. It just wasn't to our taste, but the dessert itself was still solid.All in all, it was a wonderful meal, and we'll definitely make it a point to return next time we're in St. Pete's!

My husband jokingly calls this "Hit & Miss". I wish he was wrong. The carpaccio is overpowered by truffle. The short rib is perfectly tender, the gravy is complex and rich, but the pasta is slightly overworked. The market fish has a confusing (and warm -- I'm literally cringing as I type this) yogurt sauce that doesn't make up for the overcooked and dry cobia. The bread pudding is decadent and innovative. The panna cotta has too much gelatin and is the texture of tofu. (Barf)Service matches the hit or miss theme. Best of luck should you roll the dice here.

One of the best wine bars in downtown St. Petersburg. The staff here are wine pros. This wine bar has the good quality hard to find wine. They also have some excellent appetizer choices as well as a full menu. Very cozy atmosphere with perfect lighting. A Romantic setting. I felt like I was in Spain. The Bartenders were outstanding! Follow the Flavor Uno de los mejores barras de vinos del centro de St. Petersburg. El personal aquí son profesionales del vino. Esta vinoteca tiene vino de buena calidad y difícil de encontrar. También tienen excelentes opciones de aperitivos y un menú completo. Ambiente muy acogedor con iluminación perfecta. Un escenario romántico. Me sentí como si estuviera en España. ¡los Bartenders estuvieron sobresalientes! Sigue el Sabor

We had the best experience here on Friday evening! I booked a reservation for a table of 14 for a surprise dinner celebration for my son and they were able to accommodate us in a private room, without a contract or minimum spend amount. The entire restaurant was packed and we had our own space and everyone could hear each others conversations. The service was excellent and everything we ordered was fabulous! I can't say enough great things about this place. I'm not surprised why it's one of my son's favorites. Thank you for a wonderful evening and the incredible food!!

Another outstanding meal on Halloween while watching the costumes stroll by as we ate outside. We started with the tuna tartare which had a great spicy sauce. The carpaccio ravioli is always a treat with the soft egg yolk in side. Truffle fries are a must! The grouper special was outstanding, short rib fat noodles had to many Brussels sprouts for our taste, and the mushroom cavatelli was perfect!We had an interesting dessert, panna cotta prosciutto. The saltiness of the meat and sweetness of the panna cotta was interesting. However we needed a knife to cut the meat. A delightful evening!

We came here for a date night on a Friday night. We were seated right away. There is indoor and outdoor seating available and we chose indoor. Street parking is available.It is dimly lit and a romantic/intimate vibe. Our server was great, we decided to do a split for drinks because they don't offer cocktails only wine.We ordered various items to share and everything was good. Our favorite was the coconut donut bread pudding. Wow....delicious!!!!! We got our bill and felt like it was reasonably priced for the amount of things we ordered, would definitely go back if ever in the area.

The Tuna Tartar is really delicious. Would definitely go back for that. The scallops were tender and good, but the basil grits they were served on did not have a lot of flavor. The apple burrata salad was the least flavorful of everything. The burrata was fine, but the apple purée (that's what it looked like) had no flavor. Tables inside are a pretty tight fit and it felt like a constantly moving production line in how they wanted to get patrons in and out quickly. Their hostess staff hesitated on my reservation and then said that somebody had seated someone else at the table that they had reserved for us. They had tables next to the window that looked like they would've been way more comfortable than the one we had, which was in the middle of the room right next to a full bar of seated people. I understand that they are a small space, so I did not remove a star for that. They were very busy, it was Valentine's Day, but it took about 15 minutes before anyone even came to our table to take a drink order. I had a Prosecco from Italy that was fantastic. They are a wine and beer Establishment. They had some interesting wines on their menu. My boyfriend had a Pinot Noir which he seemed to like very much. They did not have any pasta or bread items for people who are gluten-free, I would definitely recommend changing that. All in all, I would go back for the tuna, tartare, and the wine.

WOW. We had a fantastic dining experience here. The ambiance is relaxing and intimate, the service was fast and warm and the food was superb. Solid wine list as well. We enjoyed the bouillabaisse and cavatelli but everything coming out of the kitchen looked delicious!

Special Thanks to Chef Jayson Benwitt kitchen and service staff! Had a perfect relaxing Saturday date night. Candle lit window table for 2 with fresh flowers; craft beer, and 2 hour a 6 course tasting of their finest culinary creations! Staff here has Incredible talent, appealing presentation, perfect tableside edicate and service. Check out these dishes; and stop by for many more! Highly recommend. And yes even the spaghetti-O's with meatballs (which was a joke) was still doctored to perfection.

I love cute little spots like this, the tuna tartare was delicious. The service was prompt and great with suggestions.
