If you're visiting Treasure Island and craving a memorable dining experience, Middle Grounds Grill is a must-stop. Located just off Gulf Boulevard, this upscale-casual restaurant offers a relaxing coastal ambiance perfect for unwinding after a day at the beach.
Don't let the name fool you. There is nothing "middle" about this joint except for where they catch their seafood, in the Middle Grounds here nearby.
One dish that truly impressed us was the Wasabi Crusted Tuna — a fresh yellowfin tuna encrusted with zesty wasabi, served over house cucumber kimchi and basmati rice with a ginger ponzu dipping sauce. The freshness of the tuna was undeniable, and the wasabi added just the right amount of bite without overpowering the delicate flavors. It’s a dish that balances boldness and finesse — ideal for adventurous eaters who appreciate quality seafood.
This place is popular with both locals and tourists. It’s a great spot to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a refined meal with a beach-town twist. I'd suggest making a reservation if you're visiting during peak season or weekends.
Why It’s Worth a Visit:
-Elegant yet relaxed atmosphere
-Friendly, knowledgeable service
-Live music on select nights
-Early dining specials for budget-conscious travelers
-Convenient location near the beach
