Rowe - Saint Pete Beach

My son and I ordered the scallops for $51, and we only received four scallops with about 25 peas on the plate—no sides whatsoever! When the waiter checked in with us, I wanted to say, "Yes, I’d like the rest of my meal, please." We also ordered two fried tomatoes and spent around $60 on starters, but the portion sizes were very disappointing. While the food was tasty, we left feeling hungry. So, although we dined at Rowe Bar, we ended up paying Society prices for small portions. I’m not sure I’ll be returning anytime soon; it felt like we were taken advantage of. Doesn’t Rowe have lower prices? The only positive aspect of the experience was our server, who was fantastic.

During my visit in the early afternoon, the restaurant was quite slow, and the service was noticeably sluggish. It wasn’t until I pointed this out to the waitress that things began to improve. The food, according to my companions, was mediocre at best; however, I only had the shrimp cocktail, which I thought was quite good. It’s hard to understand the slow service during a quieter time, especially since there was only one other table occupied in the dining room. The waitress seemed more interested in chatting with a coworker than attending to her tables. I even had to go up to the bar myself to retrieve the beer we ordered, which had been sitting there long enough for the head to dissipate.

The dishes and drinks are excellent!!! and the staff is super friendly! The ambience is beautiful, there are inside and outside restaurants and Great Bar. Very recommended reservations during the season. Outer views are beautiful!!!

Great place to spend time with friends in a beautiful beach front. Drinking was great! Staff very friendly and helpful

We are here to stop at the Taste of the Beaches event. For the event we had the Steamed Mussels, served with Serrano Chili, Lime Broth, Cilantro and Cuban Bread, which was good. We had also baked the Calamari in corn flour. It was probably the best we've ever eaten. The service was great and the historical location is amazing.
