Best Floridian restaurant in St. Petersburg

Teak St. Pete is a nautical-inspired restaurant located on the St. Pete Pier, offering a serene ambience and 360-degree waterfront views. The restaurant features a menu crafted by top chefs in the Tampa Bay area, providing an elevated casual dining experience. Teak St. Pete aims to professionalize the hospitality industry by adopting a service model that utilizes a sales commission for every dollar sold, regardless of discount.

This model allows servers and bartenders to be paid a commission on sales, and there is a revenue share model for the rest of the service team. The result is that the whole team benefits from delighting guests, and the restaurant provides industry-leading compensation, including commissions on sales, health insurance, matched 401K, and extensive education and training for a successful career path. Teak St. Pete's dining room features two unique dining areas available for large events of 13 to 40 guests. These spaces offer coastal-inspired dishes paired with incredible views of Tampa Bay and St. Pete's skyline.
