Restaurants near Cathedral of Saint Jude the Apostle

10 out of 10. This was an amazing experience! The food, service, ambience, drinks… oh my. Nielsen was our server at the bar and we will come back and request him. It’s difficult to get a reservation so plan ahead when you go.

Our dining experience at Fortu last night was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we walked in, we were impressed by the ambiance—great lighting, comfortable chairs, and an overall inviting atmosphere that set the perfect tone for the evening. The drinks were excellent, each crafted to perfection, and a wonderful start to our meal. As for the food, it was incredible. We sampled several appetizers, each one bursting with flavor and showcasing the chef’s talent. The entrees were equally impressive—my steak was cooked to absolute perfection, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My wife had the fried rice and orange chicken, both of which were outstanding. The dessert was the perfect finale to an already remarkable meal. The Ube cheesecake was a standout—it was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve had in a long time, smooth, rich, and with a unique twist. Given the level of excellence in both the food and service, I wouldn’t be surprised if Fortu were nominated for a Michelin star in the near future. We will absolutely be returning to experience this culinary gem again

The food is always excellent and the menu changes seasonally. The service is always good 10/10. Such a gem on beach drive and one of our favorite restaurants in St Pete.

We had a fantastic lunch at The Library. The food was great, but the service and ambiance was over the top! I highly recommend visiting The Library if you are anywhere near this location and I will definitely visit again!! Our server was so professional and accomodating, but with a down to earth personality as well! Top notch!!

Excellent, food and service. Jeremy was great, and made sure everything was perfect. He is a fantastic advantage with all his restaurant experience to now be at Juno and the Peacock. Our server Jeff was attentive, friendly and made excellent recommendations. We loved our appetizers, crab cake, (no fillers) Monica’s corn bread with honey butter. Jeremy was right, delicious. We both enjoyed grouper for our main dish. Came out pipping hot, loved it. Enough that we had a doggie bag.. key lime pie, yummy. The only negative is that they are really in need of reducing the noise level, and they are fully aware of that and working on it. Thank you for an excellent experience. Highly recommend this restaurant. So good, we bought gift cards for holiday gifts!!
