I'm sure the sunset view would have been phenomenal...if we hadn't arrived late because our toddler was throwing a fuss about getting into her car seat. The restaurant was gracious enough to let us have our seats and very understanding of our situation. Best to make a day reservation then, otherwise you'll be treated to a 360 view of the Tampa skyline and darkness out in the ocean. If you do go at night, however, you'll still be treated with the charming candlelit vibe of the restaurant, replete with smooth music that will make you feel far classier than you really are. And the food is great no matter what time of the day you go. The steak is supplied by Creekstone Farms, so all my halal homies take note of a fine dining restaurant we can eat at! The filet minon was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The seafood medley, served in a rich, creamy sauce and flaky puff pastry on top was a fun spin on what could have been the same boring American seafood preparation that you get elsewhere. This dish was reminiscent of some Peruvian flavors. Our waitress emphasized that we couldn't leave without trying the coconut cream cake. We had no space left but couldn't say no; we're glad we didn't. The cake was subtly sweet and big on coconut flavor, which delicate layers of moist cake in between. Take yourself for a spin and see what it's all about!
Easter Buffet The atmosphere is the best on the beach. The views are incredible. This 360 degree rotating restaurant has views up and down the beach and of the intracoastal. Great Easter selection and variety of brunch and dinner foods. my favorites: shrimp, Burrata bruschetta, stuffed shells, mashed potatoes, bacon, biscuits and gravy, salmon, and chicken marsala. Desserts: variety of mini desserts including cake pops and cookies. Service was excellent. The waitstaff was very attentive.
Great place with amazing views!! I was able to see the sunset from here. We didn't have reservations for the restaurant. We did enjoy the cocktails and the view. I would love to come back and make reservations as you get an outstanding 360 view while your dining.
You are most certainly paying for the view, so if anyone believes otherwise you are fooling yourself. Yes, the prices are high, but I would not take back the view for anything. We ordered the filet and grouper with a crab cake and rice. The filet was prepared to order with good flavor. The grouper was good, but I wished it was cooked just a little longer. The rice was a perfect complement to the grouper. The crab cake was not good and lacked crab. Our server was pleasant and helpful in selecting my dinner as I was tossing between two items.
Great meals at Spinners Revolving Restaurant in St. Pete Beach. Excellent Scallops, Lobster Mac and Brussel Sprouts with Pork Belly, and check out the sunset view. Taste ***** Quality/Freshness ***** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service **** Atmosphere ***** Bar*** Cleanliness ***** Value ****
I have to say the service was good, very professional and attentive but that only goes so far. The wine selection was subpar, basic grocery store varieties. The food wasn't good. Salads were swimming in dressing making them uneditable. The tofu entree came out cold and partly because I think they just plunked the grilled vegetables on a plate with the tofu uncooked. Why not grill it and add some flavor. it was just a cold, slice wedge of water-packed tofu that seemed like it came out of a package and plunked on a plate. The fish was WAYYY over salted and the accompanying sauces were uninteresting. And then the side dishes for the table were tiny for the price. Basically a single serving of mashed potatoes for a $12 add on. As for the view you can't really see or make out anything after dark so not worth it. Overpriced and underwhelming.
What a great spot for a nice dinner! We celebrated a birthday here- perfect place for a special occasion. The service was great! Our server, Mikaela, was funny and patient with us. We ordered everything! Pasta, crab cake, ahi tuna, bacon wrapped scallops, steak. Everything was delicious. Old Fashioneds were tasty, too. Tip. Make a reservation for after sunset. Hey there early and enjoy a cocktail one level below, outside and what the sunset there.
Made a reservation weeks ago simply to ensure we got a spot as we are from SC and drove here yesterday so wasn't sure what to expect. We were seated promptly and the waitress was really nice and informed us what the catch of the day was. My husband and I enjoyed our meals and ambiance. This restaurant is also a good place to people watch the folks that are one floor down at the outdoor bar & lounge.
The view and novelty of a revolving restaurant are the main draws of Spinners. It really is quite breathtaking! Our server was friendly and efficient. When our bruschetta didn't arrive in a timely way, he took it off our bill. We thoroughly enjoyed the bruschetta, especially the balsamic reduction. Our entrees (both seafood) were flavorful. Mine had just the right amount of heat. There was a party of eight next to us who were rather loud, which made it difficult for us to talk. Perhaps it's the acoustics of the building. All in all, it was a memorable experience. If I could rate 4.5, I would. The only reason it's not a 5 is due to the acoustics. If you're trying to have a romantic dinner it would interfere.
The best thing about this place, and the only reason to go here is the view at sunset. If I were to bring a date here, I'd make sure we were good at conversation first. The dining room rotates very slow, and depending on where you are initially seated, you either get a spectacular sunset, a nice view of the shoreline having the sun set upon it, or the waiting area near the kitchen. It's a roll of the (expensive) dice. The server was very nice. The kitchen service started strong with the shrimp cocktail arriving in a timely fashion. The entrees took for.ever. An hour and 15 minutes AFTER she cleared the appetizer plates. The quality of the food is nothing special at all. The filet was cooked correctly and sat on top of a fresh vegi medley that looked light grilled. My pork "tomahawk" might have been 6 oz at most, but was also cooked correctly. It tasted good, was juicy, and a quality piece of meat. It was just small and unfortunately sat atop the same vegi medley, but mine were raw and cold. The side of Gorgonzola cream sauce made them edible. The side of brussel sprouts was ample for our table of two, but certainly not more people. They were the best part of the meal! 1 appetizer, 2 meat entrees, 1 shared side, no alcohol, no dessert, with tip, was over $160.
The view alone is 5 stars! I came to celebrate a few birthdays and was so happy I got to try out this place while in st. Pete. My table ordered: - Taste of the Sea (delicious/great variety of sea food) - Truffled Lobster Mac & Cheese (best bang for your buck and yummy) - Filet Mignon (good but probably wouldn't order again) - Butter Scallops (tasty but for the price there are better options in the menu that have way more food) It is all a la carte (no included sides) but some of the meals are large enough to share. Ask the server for bread when you arrive, they have a great variety. Our server was so sweet and helpful. My only critique is that the bathroom ran out of toilet paper and we alerted someone there and they just told us to use another bathroom downstairs. Also, the service elevator was out so my grandmother who couldn't walk down the stairs wasn't able to experience the beautiful sunset with the rest of us.
When I first entered I was amazed by the view. Lucky for us, our reservation was at the same time as the sunset so the view was fantastic. I must say the functionality of a spinning restaurant with a view is very appealing, not to mention the restaurant has been spinning for about 30 years. The service is top notch, I really don't have anything negative to say. Our server was attentive, friendly and knowledgeable on the menu, everything you're looking for in great customer satisfaction. It's hard to find fresh and delicious seafood but at Spinners I really had no complaints. I ordered the taste of the sea and it was delicious, the scollops, mussels and shrimp were not over cooked and it wasn't rubbery. But I think the dish that took the show was the lobster Mac n cheese because you get the most for your buck. Overall I definitely recommend!

A great experience and the view is spectacular, you do however pay for that experience. Market fish ran me $67 for a pan seared grouper with rice and asparagus + a crab cake on the side (was included). It was delicious. I'd recommend if you are ready to spend. read more

We had a reservation for 9 pm after a full day of convention travel, set up and an opening reception. We were super excited to relax and enjoy dinner with great views. We started at the bar. The bartender was wonderful. He gave us great suggestions and made tasty drinks. Soon thereafter we were seated. After quite some time we found the host and asked for water. We also requested a server. When she finally arrived, she basically asked what we wanted to order. No greeting. No inquiry about if we had dined there before or if we had questions. She took our order and bolted away. I had the scallops which were amazing. We shared the mashed potatoes which were also great and the Brussels Sprouts. They were severely overcooked and soggy. We had to stop our server from running away to order a glass of wine. The experience was less than desirable for a place so highly recommended. If we return I hope for a much more engaging experience. read more
Wow! If you come here and leave with a complaint... you complain too much! We were there on a very busy night, yet they did not miss a step! I know how hard good help is to find during this pandemic. The Food: simply wonderful. The Service: never stopped hustling. The Vine: Top Notch The View: that is what you come for. The BEST OF THE BEST. read more

Went here for my birthday dinner. The food and the service were really good. The view was AMAZING! Great ambiance at sunset. read more
Straight forward: lack of options if you don't like seafood but what they do have is delicious. The drinks were fun and good. No real appetizers. Dessert was incredible. For the price of the meal you are paying more for the experience of seeing almost all of St. Pete and Tampa. It is stunning! I think it is worth experiencing at least once! read more

I was really looking forward to trying spinners since it reopened. We walked by the morning of dining here and they had the menu posted outside but once we sat down we realized it wasn't the same menu - it was an incredibly limited menu. I was disappointed. :( you're paying for the view/experience here. It was an average dining experience. Service was ok, a bit slow and I felt the server was just trying to get her job over with. The appetizers (crab cake & meatballs were flavorful but Luke warm). NY strip (medium) came out almost rare and I had to have it cooked a tiny bit more. Overall decent experience. Good place to come for a special occasion! read more

A spectacular roof top restaurant with incredible views of the beach and breathtaking sunsets. Went here with family in town for a wedding. Even the ride up the exposed elevator had great views of the Bay Area. Reservations made we waited only a few minutes to be seated. I was disappointed our table was toward the back, away from the beach view. But our hostess reminded me the slow rotation would allow us all the views. Started with hot sourdough rolls with butter and pesto on the side. Bread was great. One of ordered a scotch and ginger, which came in a tall glass with a healthy dose of Chivas. Two ordered steaks, two ordered crab ravioli with shrimp and scallops sautéed in a cream sauce. Salads came and were wonderfully cold and crisp. Steaks came cooked to perfection, well done for one, medium for the other. Steals were paired with crisp green beans. The only disappointment was steak was a bit dry. She should have ordered the Au Jus side for $3. My brother-in-law and I ordered the ravioli. It was excellent. Scallops were perfectly firm but not overcooked, shrimp was firm. The ravioli was very good, not really enough crabmeat to stand out but good, firm. The kicker was the cream sauce. It was fantastic! I'm ashamed to admit I sopped the remaining sauce with a roll. My wife also had to try the special chocolate dessert, although after the steak and sides, the dessert came home for later. Excellent food, superb service and phenomenal views make this a great place for special occasions, or to impress guests. read more

This is a destination for the view, period. There is no justification for the price, given the slow service and average at best food. We had an app, entrée with no desert and were there almost 2.5 hours. The ring of rotating tables spins quite slow, just about three hours for one rotation. So if you're going for the sunset and are seated in the wrong spot, you won't see it. If you enjoy people watching, sit at the bar, which is stationary. You'll be treated to a steady stream of diners rotating thru before you, and will have a sunset view the whole time. read more
We had a lovely experience at Spinners. We didn't make a reservation so they were all booked up for the week, but we were able to snag some seats at the bar - which faces the water but does not rotate with the rest of the restaurant. The view was beautiful and the bartender knows how to make a great cocktail! (I point this out specifically because we went to Level 11 after dinner, and I ordered the same drink but it was disgusting.) We shared the mahi mahi and Brussels sprouts, which was plenty enough because I eat like a bird. It was all tasty and fresh. Sides are a bit overpriced, but it's what you'd expect at a place like this. read more

We were on the fence about whether to try Spinners and are so glad we did! We made a reservation for 6:30pm and were seated right away. The tables rotate 360 degrees ever so slowly (we think it took an hour to complete one full rotation) so the view is always changing and you're able to see in all directions while you dine with them. We ordered the crab cake, filet and mashed potatoes and everything was very good. Highly recommend for the food and the experience. read more

Great view! However, the food is nothing special especially for the price you pay for it. I had the Chilean sea bass, the portion size was pathetic and the rice they served was hard! The waiter brought me a new side of rice but by the time I got it I was done with my tiny piece of sea bass. Our waiter was very pleasant and was kind enough to offer us free dessert for the rice mishap. No prices on the specials menu so I was in for a surprise when I got the check and saw that my sub par sea bass plate, with barely any flavor, turned out to be $60 I was expecting it to be expensive but dang. I've had much better food for far less! I will probably never go back for dinner. read more

Super cool concept! Food is very disappointing with extreme prices. Lots of other ritzier restaurants in the area with much better food. Definitely a place to go once or twice for a drink but don't set the food expectation too high. read more

Visiting the area from Fort Myers and wanted to try this unique dining experience - a 360, revolving view of St. Pete Beach and vicinity. Had dinner reservations for 7:15pm on a Sunday night and every table was full. Our group shared the large charcuterie board $22.00): Several cheeses, salamis, crackers, breadsticks, grapes, cold artichoke and nuts. Nice assortment. For dinner, I opted for the special: Crab Meat Ravioli ($38.00) which was served in a bowl with two garlic breadsticks. I was very disappointed with this meal. It wasn't tasty at all. I left feeling stuffed, but very unsatisisfied. I give the food 3 stars, 4 stars for service and 5 stars for ambiance. That averages to 4 stars overall. The restaurant offers beautiful views, especially of the sunset. It takes about 1 hour for the restaurant to make one, complete rotation. I saw several celebrations taking place while i was there and I can understand why: The view is priceless. read more

Phenomenal, absolutely amazing place and I'm so glad that it was recommended to me from an old friend. The idea for me was to actually stay in the hotel but unfortunately I wasn't able to so I just decided to book the RSVP instead. On yelp, I understand that the reviews are 3 1/2, and on OpenTable the reviews are about 4 1/2. So there's a large rating that's missing. I decided to take the leap anyway and try out this restaurant and am I glad I did. The service was absolutely phenomenal, the waiter knew a lot about the menu and was able to recommend accordingly. The drinks were also a knockout everyone enjoyed their drinks and they were very powerful. The food of course was the best part and it was absolutely knock out as well, everything season to perfection and everything having its own unique taste. It goes without saying that I will be returning the next time I'm in the st.Pete area. Everything was delicious!!!!! read more

Okay so I have been the biggest supporters of this place for years but I went there tonight and the food wasn't good. Normally I would send it back if it was just too bad but the waitress was so great I gotta admit, my family just sucked it up and paid the $250. The fish wasn't good. I had the catch of the day snapper. With two of the sauces but both lacked flavor and were bad. My mom had the catch of the day grouper and my niece had the kid's butter and cheese pasta. All of them were bad. I came home and doctored up my niece's noodles so she could finish them. The Brussels sprouts were good and so were they scallops and crab cake. It was my birthday dinner so I was disappointed. The service was good tho so there's that. read more

Views are beautiful. Would recommend having a few drinks on the bar deck but going elsewhere for actual dinner. We had an 8:00 pm reservation but we were not seated for 20 minutes because, and I quote, "the people at the table that was reserved for us were staying" but yet, there were other empty tables at the restaurant. When I asked why we couldn't be seated at one of those tables we were told, it was out of the hostess's hands??? Finally sat down and ordered drinks; 2 beers and a mixed drink. The mixed drink arrived AFTER the dinner was served. 2 of the 4 dinners were wrong. We were assured they would be corrected immediately but that didn't happen either. The waiter comped 1 drink for our troubles. Prices are very high (chicken primavera $50.00) and everything is a la carte. Won't go again. read more

Spinners rooftop, the moment you get up to the 11th floor the vibe is real. The restaurant spins very slowly so that you can see all of treasure island/st Pete. This restaurant is one of my favorite places to go eat! The view is killer! And the staff is very accommodating! The menu is a little limited but however the quality is there! If you ever have time to visit spinners rooftop I would definitely recommend this place!! 5 stars! read more

We went to Spinners for the first time last night. I never leave reviews, but felt compelled to write. First, let me say it was definitely an experience! The views were amazing, and the concept of the rotating floor was so unique. We ordered a wine and I was thrilled they had High Noon, which is a favorite of mine. Our first look at the menu was a bit of a sticker shock, but with the view in front of us, we were ok with that. For Appetizers, I ordered the Tuna Tartare Citrus and Sesame Yellowfin Tuna with Avocado Purée and Wonton Crisps. For $20, it was EXCELENT. A nice portion and the Tuna was spot on and fresh! My husband got the Seared U-10 Scallops on Butternut Squash Purée. Served with Crispy Prosciutto and Saffron Reduction with a pricey tag of $24, you only got 3 scallops, but my husband said they were delicious. The Focaccia bread they served was delicious and warm! Here's where I had a problem. Unfortunately. I ordered the SEAFOOD PUFF PASTRY-Sautéed U-10 Scallops, Jumbo Shrimp, Sweet Peas, Cherry Tomatoes, Lobster Sherry Cream, Flaky Puff Pastry. It was $44. High price but I was expecting a nice meal. When my plate came out, I only received 3 shrimp and instead of U10 Scallops (a medium size scallop), my dish came with 5 baby scallops that you would use in a soup, hidden under my pastry. There was very little filling in the broth. I can count on one had the quantity of vegetables on the plate (maybe 3 potato slices, 4 cherry tomato halves, a few mushrooms for good measure and some peas. I did ask the waitress about the scallops. She apologized and brought out 2 U10 scallops to add to my plate. The flavor was good, and if they beef up the portion a bit, it would be nice, but DEFINITELY NOT worth $44. My husband did get the Blackened Black Grouper that was sub par. We don't mind pricey dinners by any means, but entre' portions should at least fit the price. We finished our meal and went down one level to the bar. We went from a $17 glass of wine and $8 High Noon INSIDE to a little over $9 for a High Noon and a Michelob Ultra. Not sure how that happened, maybe it was happy hour, but man, what a view. All in all, I WOULD highly suggest going for the experience, but here's my suggestion, make the reservation, go in for a drink and some apps, then go right outside to the bar observatory for drinks that are A LOT cheaper. read more

How far ahead you can cancel reservation?
I made my reservation through Open Table. That app will have you the specifics when you make the reservation.…
Is there a dress code?
It seemed quite casual. Some were dressed up, but it is on the beach, so many were not. Great place!
What's good to eat?
I had The Plaza Steak the last time I went & it was incredible! I'm a huge fan of bleu cheese & both mine & my date's were cooked to perfection. If I remember right they have a couple of different cuts to choose from for it too. Sides included…
