"Ceviche St Petersburg on Beach Drive, is the original tapas eating establishment in this region. The inside of this restaurant is a Spanish motif. High ceiling, large pane windows along with arched windows, iron chandeliers, Spanish tile on the tables and counter tops, and wood flooring is the epitome of dining in Spain."

"I love a good tapas restaurant, and St. Petersburg restaurants do have a winner. Located a block from the bay, Ceviche offers so many dishes; over fifty hot and cold plates, so you might have a hard time choosing. Do yourself a favor and order a sangria—voted best in St. Pete—while you study the menu."

This antique house is a nostalgic glance back into Old Florida, with an acclaimed and continental seafood-focused menu of Blue Crab Cakes, Grouper, Southern Style Shrimp and Grits, and even a signature Baked Brie. The restaurant typically closes from 2 p.m."
