Del Mar Gastro Lounge

The food here is decent, but if you're looking for good service, this isn't the place for you. My friends and I visited for the first time and were unsure whether we could choose our seats or if we would be directed to a table. After finding a spot, it took several minutes before a bartender approached us for drink orders. We assumed he was our server, but after sitting for 15 minutes, we discovered that our actual server was a different woman whom we hadn't seen before. She didn’t apologize for the delay and was quite unfriendly. We placed our orders and had to wait a while for our food. Once we finished eating, we finally spotted our server to request the check, and then waited another 10 minutes for our cards to be returned. If you value your time, I would recommend avoiding this place.

I had an amazing experience at this restaurant. The food was delightful and bursting with flavor. Although everyone was satisfied, we couldn't resist ordering more once we saw the delicious dishes being served. We shared a variety of appetizers, and I highly recommend the taco dip and sliders. While I'm not usually a fan of bone-in wings, I heard they were outstanding and even award-winning!

The wings were delicious. I ordered the Mediterranean chicken bowl, which was tasty, though it mostly consisted of rice. The Bloody Marys and Phil Collins cocktails were great. However, the servers weren't very friendly; I had to wave them down whenever I needed a drink, and they seemed annoyed when I asked for anything. My meal, as well as my friend's, arrived without the sauce that was supposed to accompany it. On a positive note, the restaurant has a large outdoor patio with live music, creating a really cool atmosphere, but it would have been much better if the service had been more attentive.

This is a great place for lunch on the patio in Downtown St. Pete. The food was delicious, the bloody mary was fantastic, and the staff were wonderful. The outdoor seating was charming.

So good love the wings. Fresh flavors no frying. Everything sauce was delicious. Atmosphere casual and cool.
