Everything from the drinks to the appetizers to the main course was right on the money! The street corn croquettes were crispy, creamy and had a garnish of cheese and cilantro with peppers and a beautiful creamy smoky sauce underneath that made it the perfect bite! Fish...Read More

My friend and I shared 5 small plates and two desserts which were all delicious. The waiter was great too. Heard their menu changes with seasonal items so I will definitely go back later.

Just wild about Wild Child! I sampled every vegan and vegetarian option. Perfectly crispy yet fluffy paella, creamy whipped ricotta with charred toast, squash blossoms, surprise empanada & delicious dumplings! The peach burrata salad could have used some salt otherwise everything was flawless. We...Read More

Yes! Highly recommend! We came here for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Good food, good service, good cocktails. It was very busy on a Sunday afternoon, but we sat at the bar. The tuna tostadas were delicious and perhaps needed more acidity but no complaints! The spanish...Read More

10/10 experience. Easily one of the best restaurants in St Pete. It is what all restaurants should strive to be. Super creative menu with flavor combinations you wouldn’t typically think of, but they work exceptionally well. Highly recommended!!

Great local restaurant with menu that changes by season and has large covered area outside that allows dogs. My snapper curry was great and service was excellent. Not cheap but high quality is worth it to me.
