    Greek Chicken Wrap
    Lori M.

    We were looking for a tasty place to have lunch and yelp never steers me wrong! Root + Clay came up with high reviews so we decided to see if it lived up to the reviews - It did!! This restaurant is inside a racquetball club but it is open to the public. We were greeted right away and told to take a seat. They do have outdoor seating on a nice patio but it was a hot day so we opted to sit inside in the cool a/c. They have a nice variety of sandwiches and entrees as well as a full bar. They were very attentive to my shellfish allergy (by the way they do shrimp and the French Fries in same oil so if you have allergy no fries ) but they substituted for me with a salad. I chose the Greek wrap which was made to order and tasted so fresh! The dressing was perfectly proportioned and it was delicious. Hubby had the Italian wrap and fries. Said they were both delicious. The dessert of the day was peanut butter pie and it was the best I've ever had. This homemade dessert brought all of the bells and whistles. Perfect little gem of a restaurant, will be going back soon!

    Love the food variation offered, good service, and great outdoor ambiance. Something to note, this place is in the middle of a tennis club so u may get a bit of imposter syndrome if you just come to eat, but the food is good and hearing the birds sing while you eat in the shade is worth it.

    It is located inside a racquet club. Indoor seating is comfortable and the outdoor seating is beautiful. Service is excellent and generous food portion. The prices are reasonable.

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch while being in the area to visit friends. We both loved it there. The service was great and the food was amazing. My wife had the chicken club with fries. She said it was one of the best clubs she ever had. 9.2. I had the BBQ bacon burger with fries. The burger was cooked perfectly and the fries seasoned to perfection 9.2 . The next time we are over there we will stop in again

    Great hidden gem in the St. Pete racquetball club. Food is fresh, incredible service and the patio is nicely shaded to enjoy a meal! (even at lunchtime in June) Will be returning here soon!

    Half eaten short ribs with a side of root mash. It looked so good I just started eating. Delicious, especially with the horse radish sauce.

    The service was great, and their recommendations were spot on. Ordered the jalapeño cheddar sausage…read moreas the menus stated they are all made in their kitchen. It was delicious and so was the mustard it came with. My partner usually doesn't like mustard but he said this one complimented the sausage well. We sat inside by the kitchen so we had the pleasure of seeing all the food look and smelling delicious as it left the kitchen. Outside seating is also available. Everything we ordered was amazing. Only regret was not coming in my actual birthday for the free meal.

    Stillwaters Tavern is a St. Pete spot I keep coming back to, and this visit was another solid one…read moreoverall! We started with the crispy pork belly, which looked a little on the drier side when it arrived but don't let that fool you, the brown sugar bourbon glaze it was dressed in was delicious. Really enjoyed it as a starter. The tavern burger came highly recommended as one of their best dishes, and while it was a good burger, it didn't quite blow us away. Surprisingly mild on flavor despite the toppings, and it's a BIG boy... which I know some people love, but I tend to prefer a smash burger so I'll take partial responsibility for that note! The fries, however, were excellent... textured, crispy, exactly how fries should be. The real standout of the visit was the chilaquiles (the chef's brunch special). It ran a little dry, but the flavors more than made up for it. The combination of crunchy tortilla chips, smoky sauce, pickled onions, egg, avocado, and cilantro all together was just so good... my boyfriend was equally obsessed. Would absolutely order again. Service was great and overall had a really enjoyable visit... Stillwaters continues to deliver a solid experience and I'll keep coming back!
