Best Romantic Restaurants in St. Pete Beach

So happy to be able to head to St Pete Beach at this time after so much devastation to find that these guys are open and ready for everyone and anyone. We live near the downtown area at St Pete and have not been to the beach area since the storms. We decided to try this out for my birthday; they used to be named Castile, now they are Azura. Nothing really changed; the same fabulous food and people.

Our dining experience at Fortu last night was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the ambiance—great lighting, comfortable chairs, and an overall inviting atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the evening. The drinks were excellent, each crafted to perfection, and a wonderful start to our meal. As for the food, it was incredible. We sampled several appetizers, each one bursting with flavor and showcasing the chef’s talent. The entrees were equally impressive—my steak was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My wife had the fried rice and orange chicken, both of which were outstanding. The dessert was the perfect finale to an already remarkable meal. The Ube cheesecake was a standout—it was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had in a long time, smooth, rich, and with a unique twist. Given the level of excellence in both the food and service, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fortu were nominated for a Michelin star in the near future. We will absolutely be returning to experience this culinary gem again

It was an enchanting evening starting with the Mickey curated wine list, wonderful service, hands on chef/owner and “ oh what a night” with the spectacular dishes we had! Loved this lovely intimate boutique restaurant to the moon and back! 🎉🌖💜 Kelli from Michigan

Everything was perfect, from the fabulous "Smoke" cocktail to the delicious filet mignon, the scrumptious sides and the fabulous ginger creme brule. The service was professional and efficient but warm and friendly thanks to Sarah. It was a real five star experience.

Great experience in the tasting room . Great products
