This is definitely a place to come with at least four people so you can try a bunch of dishes. I would honestly be sad to come here just as a couple because then you don't get to try as many of the amazing dishes Elliott Astor has to offer. We started with the pull apart Bread that is absolutely a must get and delicious. The one thing is, it is quite large, so it is a good size for 4 to 5 people, it would be a bit overwhelming for only two hence why I say come with a group. We also got the chopped salad, which I thought was good, but not great. People rave about the Caesar salad, which last time I found to be just OK, but I would probably get the Caesar over the chopped. That's a personal preference. Then we got the vodka pasta and the black truffle gnocchi. The vodka pasta, again, is an absolute must get. I love Housemade pasta, and this one is cooked perfectly. The vodka sauce isn't spicy, and I hate spice. So this is one of my favorite dishes. I didn't like the gnocchi. I found it to be too cheesy and not pillowy enough. I appreciate the black truffles, but this is one that I would skip in the future. Then we got the dry aged prime strip, with broccolini, Yukon, mashed potato, and mushrooms. The mushrooms are still, my absolute favorite, I would absolutely get it every time. Yukon potatoes were delicious, but I could feel my arteries clogging while I ate it. It was so creamy and so buttery. The broccoli was good, but not something that I feel like I have to get. The steak was amazing. We got it medium rare, and I felt like it was cooked perfectly. I loved it. For dessert I got the amaretto cookie gelato. If you don't eat pork, all the desserts other than gelato and sorbet have a pork stabilizer in it, which is disappointing. The gelato was quite good though. For my drink, I got the Mezcal margarita I had last time. It is no longer in the menu. It was just OK this time, it would've been better with the salt rim, but it came without one. Next time I'll try another drink on their menu. Valet is $15 which is great because I've come here for the spa and parking is much more expensive if you're not going to Elliot Asher. This restaurant is beautiful and service is superb. Dinner will take a couple hours and Reservations do fill up so you should book them early. I would definitely recommend coming to eat here if you're looking for a nice night out.
Elliott Aster at the Vinoy is such a vibe. The moment you walk into the lobby, that gorgeous floral arrangement and the warm, luxurious scent hit you -- it's stunning. Then you see the bar... dimly lit, and stretching all the way to the ceiling. Absolutely breathtaking. There were eleven of us girls dressed in black celebrating a birthday, and we started the night at the bar with drinks and photos before dinner. The staff sat us at the perfect long table, and Andrew and Brian took amazing care of us all evening. We shared the Focaccia Pull Apart -- warm, slightly sweet, cheesy, and honestly addictive. The Burrata with peaches, pickled mustard seeds, and pistachio was bright and fresh, and the beef tartare was another favorite. For dinner, I had the scallops, which were huge and roasted perfectly with citrus, cauliflower, and brown butter. Some of the girls shared the Radiatore alla Vodka, and that sauce was chef's kiss -- flavorful and so satisfying. But let me tell you... The Parmesan Fries with Black Truffle Aioli? I'm going back JUST for those. Cocktails were on point -- the girls loved the Elliott Aster Martini with its citrus kiss, and I had the mezcal espresso martini and the Summer Haze. Both were delicious. Beautiful place, amazing food, incredible night.
Beautiful and delicious brunch! Got a taste of everything with the unpictured donut which was also so tasty! Unfortunately service was a little slow but thankfully the yummy food made up for it
What an excellent first experience at Elliott Aster! We went for my birthday after hearing great reviews and it really hit the mark. The service and ambience were exceptional. The pull apart focaccia was a stand out alongside the Cesar salad. For mains we shared two of their most popular pasta dishes and they were cooked perfectly. The Cornichon asparagus was also a fun side to try out. For my birthday they brought out birthday cake ice cream with a candle alongside a hand written card. Will absolutely be back!
This place has been on my list for awhile! The inside of this restaurant is stunning. Beautiful and sleek, such a cool design of the bar and the dining area! We started with the Burrata which was pretty good with the strawberries. It only came with a little toast so we did have to ask for another serving. Our entrees which was the nightly special (cheese ravioli) and the Bolognese. Both were good and had nice flavoring. We shared the smashed potatoes has a side but it was too much food! We want to come back to try their brunch menu. Everything was good but not amazing for the price you pay.
This review is specifically for DESSERT, because WOW. My friends and I wanted a little nightcap so we stopped in and got seated quickly. It is ALWAYS a good practice to ask the server for dessert recs because odds are, they're going to suggest something you'd never consider and thank goodness she did. She suggested the Pistachio Ricotta Torta and the amaretto cookie gelato, so we got both of those as well as some chocolate gelato. I am not typically an amaretto girlie, but that gelato was arguably the best I've ever had. Never had anything like it before, truly phenomenal. The chocolate was great too, really some of the better gelato I've had, but that amaretto cookie flavor with the little cookie pieces... truly DIABOLICAL!!!! The torta was also so delicious!!
"Is this place worth it?" YES. Point blank, period, YES. Menu is short and small, but man was everything good. My table ordered family style and got to try most of the menu. We started with the Baby Gem Caesar and Parm Fries. Then we moved on to the Fritto Misto, Insalata di Mare, and Roasted Octopus. All great starters! For our entrees, we went with the Prime Ribeye and Squid Ink Chitarra. The steak was cooked to perfection and the pasta tasted so fresh! Absolutely loved everything we ordered. Aside from the food, the drinks, the decor, the ambiance -- everything is just to die for. The only thing to note is that, while you're waiting for your table and its busy, there's not really anywhere to wait. We ended up standing outside in the hotel hallway for what seems like forever because the bars and tabletops were all taken up along with the waiting tables. So, just have some patience.
A friend had been in before and demanded we go while I was in town, so I gladly obliged! Parking in the area is tough, but we utilized the valet, which was $15. Located in The Vinoy hotel, this spot is an experience from the beginning! A stunning bar dominates the space as you enter, complimented with a mix of art deco, modern, and lux finishes. Seating for every group size makes this perfect for a drink with a friend, dinner with the family, or a larger gathering! It surprisingly felt approachable, not ostentatious. Service was top notch throughout our dinner, providing an elevated experience from start to finish! Enjoyed the Early Retirement to drink, which was a slightly cherry/fruity version of an Old Fashioned. The Whipped Ricotta was my favorite dish: creamy, sweet, nutty perfection! The meatballs were tasty, yet failed to stand out as anything original. The Radiatore alla Vodka was delicious with perfectly al dente pasta and a rich sauce! The Lacquered Brick Chicken had the PERFECT sauce for those of you that love umami and I appreciated the mushrooms paired with the perfectly cooked chicken. Really great spot for a special occasion or elevated experience in the area!
**GOAT ALERT** The bartender was trying to talk me into a Caesar salad, and I was lukewarm about it. Just another Caesar salad. He said the one here is different from anywhere else I've ever been and boy oh boy was he right. The Caesar salad here is neck and neck with Jay Luigi for best Caesar salad in all of Tampa Bay. I freaking loved it and would seriously go here again and just order double Caesar salads and that's it. It's really that good. I also had the $23 Burrata and it was great too. I definitely need to come back here again and try more food items. For drinks, I had a $20 Crimson Heat. It was pretty good, I wish it had a stronger burnt mezcal taste, but I liked it. Also, had a $22 Espresso Martini. I liked it a lot too. I would rate it a 8.5/10. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside and super huge. There is a bar at the front in the middle and a bar in the way back. I actually appreciate the fact the hostess told me to take off my hat. I like classy places like this. I will certainly be back with my dad as he loves Caesar salads.
Extremely Decent value for the prices although we didn't try the steaks... but the pull apart bread, pastas, & whipped ricotta were fantastic. Our server, Michael was a level 2 sommelier which was so helpful with the extensive wine list. The art deco ambiance is wonderfully upscale, as well as the attentive service from the assist waiter and waiter. The menu runs across a large spectrum from the meatballs to a crudo (I didn't get the chance to try!) so there is truly something for every palate.
Came here with some friends and this place is very nice! Ambiance is elegant. Service is great. Food comes out slowly but they were delicious. We sat in the lounge section so we got a Cesar salad which was a huge portion and was one of the best I've ever had! The artichoke dip was okay- a bit salty.we got pasta to go and the duck pappardelle was sooo good! Lots of duck meat and the noodles were tender and delicious. I would definitely Come back!
Hey everyone! As your go-to realtor from Palm Harbor, I'm always on the hunt for awesome spots around the area to share with my favorite people (that's you!). Hubby and I finally hit up Elliott Aster at the Vinoy in St. Pete for date night, and wow--it's now my top pick when I want to feel fancy without the stuffy vibes. The place is gorgeous: moody lighting, velvet booths, and that classic Vinoy charm with a cool modern twist. Feels like a 1920s speakeasy but way more chill and welcoming. We started with the Burrata--creamy, dreamy, and gone in seconds. Then the **Beef Cheek Tortelli**--melt-in-your-mouth goodness with a rich sauce. So good! Hubby loved the Wood fired Filet--smoky from the wood fire, juicy, and perfectly done. We shared the Radiatore Alla Vodka too--creamy with just the right kick. And we couldn't leave without the decadent chocolate torte for dessert. Rich, not too sweet, total winner. The vibe inside is romantic and fun and the bar area sets the perfect tone right when you walk in. Service was spot-on--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. Portions are generous, everything tastes fresh, and it's worth the drive from Palm Harbor. If you're looking for a special night out (or just want to treat yourself), go check out Elliott Aster. You won't regret it! Who's going next? Let me know--I might crash your table Happy dining, friends! Bridgie

Great experience and upgrade from Marchands I beleive that used to be in Vinoy. Staff and service is definitely remarkable and go above and beyond and atmosphere gives the fine dining experience. Came for brunch so had the Everything Focaccia & Smoked Salmon and my child had the kids menu cheeseburger and it was great. Hopefully I'll be back for their dinner menu. read more

What. A. Find!! I am absolutely in love with this place. Elegant decor and vibe. The bar area is large and always busy as the drinks are amazing! I really enjoyed the Elliot Astor martini. Dinner was a wonderful experience with excellent service. We enjoyed multiple appetizers and each of us loved our main dishes. We all went with different pasta dishes and all were delicious. This will be our go-to place downtown especially for drinks! read more

Came here for the first time for brunch with a group of ladies. This restaurant is located inside the Vinoy hotel. There is street parking as well as valet for $15. This restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, lots of photo opportunities, with a very upscale vibe. The service was phenomenal and so was the food. I was very impressed with the brunch menu. The sesame carrot dip was amazing along with the burrata. I recommend getting the eggs in purgatory or the beef cheek hash both are very flavorful. If you're in the area looking for an upscale brunch this is the place for you. I will definitely be back. read more

It has been a while since we've wanted to check out this place. I am a big steak fan and I don't think I've ever had a steak this good before. Meg was an awesome server and was so knowledgeable about every single thing. I also couldn't believe how gorgeous and stunning the whole place was. I will be living out of state soon, but will return when I visit FL. read more
My daughters treated me to a celebratory dinner at Elliot Aster, located in the beautiful Vinoy Hotel, and it was one of the most stunning dining experiences I've ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest valet attendant. Walking through the hotel, I felt the luxury and elegance immediately. The restaurant itself was gorgeous, intimate, and elegant. Our server, Paula delivered impeccable service. Every single dish we ordered was exquisitely prepared and tasted heavenly good. Our drinks were on point as well. Yes, it was a splurge, but every penny was worth it. It was the perfect way for my kids to celebrate me, and the experience will be a memory I will always cherish. read more
It's a beautiful room and great service but I expected more from the food. We started out with a bang with the pull apart bread and crudo. However I was not a fan of the Sea Bream fish which was supposed to be similar to Branzino. I'm not a fan of fish skin so I had to flip it over to the non skin side which then made it hard to eat the salad on top. Branzino is a lighter tasting and flakier fish. The maitake mushrooms, as a side, also didn't have the taste I was hoping for. The atmosphere was delightful and again the service was excellent. The menu is enticing so I may need to work the menu better. We were a group of 4 and I seem to be the only one disappointed, so keep that in mind. read more

Dining at Elliot Aster inside the beautiful Vinoy is an experience that feels both elegant and relaxed, the perfect spot for a special night out. Every dish we ordered was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The beef tartare was a standout to start with the grilled sourdough. For the main course, the filet was cooked flawlessly, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The broccolini was simple yet elevated, charred just enough and seasoned perfectly to complement the steak. The sides deserve their own spotlight: the Parmesan French fries were crispy, savory with truffle sauce on the side. We ended with the apple crisp gelato, and it was so good! Between the upscale ambiance, attentive service, and exceptional food, Elliot Aster delivers a wonderful dining experience . read more
One of the best fine dining experiences in the Tampa Bay Area! Every dish was the perfect bite! For starters we had the Whipped Ricotta, Focaccia, Burrata, Meatballs, and the Baby Gem Caesar Salad. Every dish was amazing but the meatballs and Caesar really impressed me with flavor! For mains we had the Radiatore Allá Vodka, Beef Cheek Tortelli, Lacquered Brick Chicken, and the Crispy Fingerling Potato's. Let me tell you GET the chicken it was my favorite dish! It was so moist and the sauce paired perfectly with the potato's. The entire menu is definitely shareable and the ambiance was unmatched! Our server was so impressive he was able to remember every single dish we ordered without writing a single thing down, needless to say we were very impressed. A lot of detail went into this restaurant and it was such a nice vibe. I will definitely be back to dine at Elliot Aster very soon. read more
Talk about absolutely stunning decor and roaring 20s vibes. Gorgeous lighting, jazz playing, beautiful setting with classy but soothing interior! Definitely a highlight of my 2025 year end! The service is impeccable, exactly what you expect from top tier dining, from being seated to the actual service. Oh and be sure to make reservations in advance even though it feels like they have endless seating, I promise you, every table gets filled. The food, the beautiful delicious food, it truly does satisfy any needs you have with a broad range of selections and generous portion sizes, you will not be disappointed! Also the cocktails here are sure to impress! This has now made my "a must check out, when in st pete" list and will be recommending it to others for special occasions! read more
Pros and Cons! Pros: The restaurant is beautiful, the potato puree is amazing, the steak was great, the artichoke dip was some of the best I've had. Cons: I wasn't too big of the Caesar salad. The croutons were very chewy (maybe that's how they are supposed to be?) but also they put little crumbles throughout the salad so it had little crunches that I wasn't expecting and wasn't a fan of. The espresso martinis were good but definitely more espresso than anything. The service was slow and we couldn't find the waitress at times. I'm not sure that's on purpose so you can enjoy the time there or not. Definitely a place I would go back to though. read more

This was such a treat and an amazing experience. To start the restaurant is stunning and located in the beautiful Vinoy hotel. The service was so exceptional. Our server Paula went above and beyond for us. She made the experience truly amazing. The food was also so delicious. I hope to come visit here again when we are visiting the area again. Thank you for an awesome dinner everyone. Thank you for recognizing my parents anniversary. read more

For my mother's birthday I wanted to take her somewhere that was upscale and delivered on flavor. I am so glad I chose Elliot Aster. I had previously experienced the lounge area for food and drink, but the full dining experience was even more exceptional. To start, the honey ricotta was creamy, sweet and the crackers that came with it were peppery, crunchy and flavorful. Our entrees were delicious. My beef cheek tortelli sat in a butter/balsamic sauce that complimented the tenderness of the beef cheek so well. The parmesan cheese was rich and the tortelli was perfectly al dente. My mother loved her eggplant lasagna- I had a couple bites and the red sauce was so fresh- the vegetables shined in the dish- a great melody of vegetables and spice, there was a good harmony there. Our waiter, Jonathan O., who was extremely professional and kind, was really knowledgable about the menu, which helped elevate the experience. He knew it was my mom's birthday, and he brought us out a birthday cake gelato to celebrate. The gelato was smooth, creamy and had generous amounts of birthday cake cemented in the dessert. I loved my experience at Elliot Aster, the food and service justify the cost. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a birthday or special occasion, I highly recommend Elliot Aster. read more

If you want absolute perfection from a dining experience, please make a reservation and dine here. From the moment you enter you're treated with kindness, and you have no choice but to be mesmerized by the Gatsy era decor. This is one of the most beautiful restaurants from top to bottom. Enough about that, I had the 8 ounce filet and it was the best I've ever had. My first bite will forever be etched into my memory. Thank you Elliott Aster for an unforgettable experience. read more
Gorgeous restaurant. Beautiful menu. Fabulous service & waitstaff. Loved the menu & the Chicken dish with the Foie Gras, except, I couldn't eat it bc my plate kept turning round & round like a ferris wheel & I couldn't get it to stop turning long enough to cut it. The White plates are very pretty but they don't work without a charger under on the anti-pasta bar. The staff was very sweet & tried to put a napkin under it but I already had more on my dress than in my mouth. Please fix so I can come back & actually eat something. Very disappointed. read more
Our new favorite restaurant! Everyone needs to try here! Great service, ambiance, and even better food. The lamb chops, focaccia, vodka pasta, and amaretto gelato are all to die for. We loved this spot so much, that we came back the second night after our first stay. We've been a few times since then, and whenever we think of getting Italian, Elliott Aster is the first choice. Please bring back the amaretto gelato! read more
Room for improvement but a solid evening. I booked Elliott Aster for my husband's birthday and even though I booked weeks in advance I could only get a 8:30 reservation so expectations were high. First the restaurant is so beautiful! Whoever did the decor deserves an award. It is a very moody, romantic, chic vibe and attention to every detail was made. We were early so we started in the bar to wait for our table. Server was okay- didn't really want to help with recommendations and not exactly friendly but wasn't rude. When we were seated we kind of had the same experience with the server and the assistant - not rude just not welcoming. Both of our meals were average (I had the pasta). My dish was very over salted to the point it was difficult to eat. Neither asked us how our meals were. They never acknowledged my husband's birthday (which was fine but they ask if you are celebrating anything). We weren't asked if we wanted dessert. So the experience wasn't actually up to the hype. We did end up having a beautiful evening because the atmosphere was lovely. We are local to the area so will try again when they have a little more time to fix things. read more
Stunning space and equally grand happy hour experience. The restaurant and bar are just gorgeous and they thankfully have a dress code they actually enforce. Leave the sports bras at the gym please. We sat in the bar lounge and had delicious drinks and appetizers. The Ceasar salad is the best I've had, the bread for the burratta was grilled, soft, yet chewy. The only dish we didn't enjoy was the artichoke dip. I expected a warm, creamy dip but it was cold and the portion micro. We still enjoyed our first visit here. I can't wait to return for dinner. read more

Super swank bar with all the "St Pete" views you'd expect. We had a large group and the service was great. Drinks were delish for sure. This part they need to work out tho. Used valet, valet guy says get the bar to note your ticket and it will reduce the costs. Inside aster asked them to validate my ticket. They said just tell them you were here. Seemed off so we asked another aster employee and received the same response. Got to valet and he wanted us to go back inside to validate the ticket. Told him what they said he and wasn't happy. He gave us the discount but it took a bit. Valet and Aster need to align on this. read more

INCREDIBLE. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Everything in this experience at Elliot Aster was top notch. We celebrated a birthday dinner and the staff was outstanding. From the hostess to our server, everyone went above and beyond to give us a great customer experience. The entire restaurant is a beautiful vibe and was very busy so be sure to snag those reservations. Now to the good stuff - let's talk about the food. Do not skip on the focaccia (!!!) and the Caesar salad. I can't even put into words how good these are and I'm still dreaming about them a week later! We shared the Prime NY Steak and the Radiatore alla Vodka that were both phenomenal. I've been to all the major steakhouses in Tampa Bay and this was by far THE BEST steak I have had here. The spiciness of the Radiatore was a perfect pairing for us and gave the best of both worlds The tiramisu for a birthday desert was a perfect send off. I seriously rate this as the best meal I've had in Tampa Bay so far. Although a little on the pricier side, the experience + service + vibes + food are worth every penny. read more
Finally checked out Ellito Aster and it did not disappoint. It is so trendy and vibey. Came here for a date night and will be back again! Everything we ordered was so spot on and the service was great. If you're ordering pasta, you must get the beef cheek tortellini and radiatore alla vodka. I want to try the squid ink next. I'm a huge fan of tiramisu and of course I got that for dessert and it was a 10/10. Can't wait to come back! What I ordered: - Focaccia "Pull Apart": Pecorino, Taleggio, Wildflower Honey - Roasted Octopus: Eggplant, Salmoriglio, Garlic Aioli - Beef Tartare: Black Truffle, Parmesan, Grilled Sourdough - Baby Gem Caesar: Focaccia, Black Pepper, Parmesan - Radiatore alla Vodka: Crushed Calabrian Chili, Pecorino - Beef Cheek Tortelli: Aged Balsamic, Parmesan - Tiramisu: creme de cacao, mascarpone, espresso read more
First off, we were stunned by the location at the Vinoy. Service was excellent all throughout and the meals even better. We started with the seafood salad and beef tartar. Personally, I found that the beef tartare was one of the best bites I've ever had. We followed up with the. Kabocha Squash Caramelle and braised duck paparadelle. The squash had a delightful fall flavor, and the braced duck was to die for. Finally because me and my significant other were celebrating, the restaurant gave us the most decadent chocolate cake slice on the house. Best chocolate cake ever. read more
