Snappers Sea Grill

Last Friday night, Taryn and I stumbled upon Snappers Sea Grill while driving down Gulf Blvd. on St. Pete Beach. It was pretty much directly across from our hotel, but we passed it on the way out only noticing the tiki torches outside and part of the sign. After driving a little while and going by places like Applebee's that you can find almost anywhere, Taryn said we should go back and try "the place with the tiki torches". One of the best calls she's ever made!

If you live in the Tampa/St. Pete area, we both highly recommend you eat here sometime. Even if you're coming from Tampa, it's worth the drive. The prices are very reasonable (about the same as Outback, Stonewood or other places like that) considering the quality of the food and service. You can click on the restaraunt's name in the first line or here to check out their menu and location. The meal started with seasoned flatbread and slightly spicy humus to dip it in, which was a nice change from the typical breads you get at other restaraunts. I was still eating the flatbread after we finished our meal because it tasted so good! Our entrees came with a salad as well. No choice of dressings, but the house dressing at Snappers was wonderful. The entrees we ordered are not on the online menu at the website. We had the "Reef and Beef", a very large King crab leg and 8-oz steak, and the Cashew Crusted Mahi Mahi. I'm not going to bother trying to describe the flavors, but simply put, it was one of the best meals we've ever had! You can see when looking at the entrees on their website that the food is presented very well, but the flavor isn't lost in the presentation. It all tasted wonderful, including the potato and vegetables that came with each!

Thank you, Snappers, for a wonderful meal and a great experience as we celebrated our anniversary!
