Taverna On The Bay

Super cute inside! Everyone was so nice and the service was great ! The food was as you would expect , did feel it was a bit over priced ( even for the beach) . We had a the Greek stuffed chicken , mozzarella Luna and a gyro . Everything was pretty good! I will say the drink and wine list is geared toward the sweet cocktail lover . Not very balanced . Outside of that , one of my only critiques. However , the view was so nice , they did the decor very tastefully. We will be back, plenty of parking etc

Food was simply amazing. Had a couple special request and were met without hesitation.Excellent place to die and the service is truly impecable.

I really wish they would mark which items on the menu are gluten free. It makes it very challenging especially if the staff doesn't know.

Brand new, well maintained spot in St. Petes Beach with a beautiful view overlooking the bay! The service was friendly, and the food was fresh, and the menu had a variety of options for our whole party! Definitely recommend to anyone in St. Petes Beach!

I hate to do this, but I have to give this place a bad review. I will break down everything in my entire experience of last Thursday's dinner.My best friend was in town, and we got free tickets to a comedy show that was going to be played right next door to Tavern on the Bay. One of my friends also joined as we had a table for three and met up at 5:30 PM on a Thursday night.When we arrived, the restaurant was not even 25% full, which makes sense because it was a cold rainy evening, and we were out super early. We were seated very quickly and had Leslie serve us.Leslie was obviously new and, unfortunately, needs more training. We told her we were going to a comedy show next door and had to be out of there within an hour. We ordered drinks and food within the first five minutes. The drink and appetizers came out quickly as the place started to fill up, and this is where the night went downhill. We waited another 30+ minutes before Leslie came back to our table and informed my friend that the halibut that he had ordered was no longer available as it was 86. he then pivoted and ordered the fresh grouper. She said she would have it made very quickly. Another 20 minutes passed, and I was very frustrated with the whole process.I understand workers do mess up, but you should own up to it. There is no way she put our food in altogether, and the time on the slip would have shown that I had also ordered a New England clam chowder that never showed up and ended up paying for it. Unfortunately, I did not have time to grab her and have her take it off as we were already late for the show, and she could not split up our bill, so I took it all and paid for it myself. She also did not apologize, as I was baffled by three simple meals taking more than 90 minutes.I have been a regular at Skidders for the last 20+ years and was very excited to try Peter's new place. I will definitely be back, but I will make sure I will avoid Leslie. The food was phenomenal, the other staff that followed Peter are always great, and the views off the back were outstanding.Things that went wrong:* ordered and paid for chowder that never came* waited over an hour for 3 entrees * she didn't give me a bottle of ketchup on every other table but little packets * waited 50 minutes to inform my friend his food was 86. * if she had put the food in and not forgotten, the kitchen staff would have informed her immediately Service: 1/10Bang bang cauliflower: 9.0Baked scallops: 9.4Tuna melt: 8.4Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

This is a Greek restaurant with heavy emphasis on local seafood. Great views of the bay here. We started off with some raw oysters and they were tasty.I had the grilled grouper, unfortunately it was a bit dry. Service was excellent. Had a shot of ouzo, which was complementary due to a very late arriving meal. Staff and management were very friendly.

Chefs kiss to the preparer of the lamb chops. They were the best I have had in a lifetime. The only food complaint I had was cold potatoes. Also, you would think you could get a small Greek salad without having a five dollar up charge. Gee golly it is a Greek Restaurant. The ambiance was beautiful as the restaurant has bay views which are amazing. The service was awful. We ask our server about ordering a Opa and she said they do not have Opa. Then we see another table get a Opa. One person got a scallop appetizer instead of an entree. Another lady ordered a traditional gyro but got chicken instead. We got no water or soft drink refills and no opportunity for additional cocktails. Service and server knowledge was unacceptable and disappointing.

Our server Lauren C was great and did everything to make the experience good as the rest of the night crumbled around her. The food came out wrong for both of my friends as the chicken they ordered came out as fish and the chicken parm the other one ordered came separated between the noodles and the actual chicken parm. I ordered the penne with vodka sauce which wasn't that good but the added chicken for 6 dollars definetly felt worth the value. Our server really pulled her weight and fixed everything even making our desserts herself because the kitchen screwed up again. Drinks were good and salads were nice but that's the extent of the food.

Hostess on Friday Feb 21st took money from people behind us when waiting to be seated and sat them even though we had a reservation and were in line first then comes back and takes somebody else as well terrible service and first impression completely rude and classist

Quality food and service! The chicken was excellent, very flavorful and not overcooked. Service and ambiance were excellent! Highly recommend!
