The Mandarin Hide - SAINT PETERSBURG

What an absolutely wonderful experience!! Although the menu was of a smaller selection...whatever you get is far from disappointing. Great service food was exceptional!! 1st time for my boyfriend I, and definitely not our last. Btw...their Ribeye w/ the gorgonzola fondue is AMAZING!!!!

Food was awesome. Service was great as well. Only critique I could offer is toasting bread more and less watermelon on the watermelon bruscetta. We had braised mussels (more crostinis would have been great, the broth was amazing and we didnt want to waste it), steak, meatloaf wellington and pound cake grilled cheese. All of the mixed drinks we had were delicious as well.

We came here for lunch today and were blown away! The quality of cocktails and food was easily the best we experienced in our time in the area; we 're nerdy foodies and it 's honestly the best meal we 've had in some time. Our waitress, Tiffany, was excellent all around. We had the daily special--a patty melt--and the Kimmelweck beef sandwich, both of which were stunning and beautifully balanced in flavor, eliciting mms with every bite. Best house made chips! We were sad at first to not have French fries but finished the chips before the sandwiches! The Lucky Buck and Tahoma cocktails were delicious and flavorful without relying on too much sugar, and the pound cake grilled cheese !?! for dessert topped everything off perfectly. Wish we lived nearby so we could frequent.

We went for brunch and Honestly, we were slightly disappointed. The descriptions of the food had us so excited since we used to live in SC, the southern flair coming out was especially exciting. We got several dishes to try and the best things were the deviled eggs and the breakfast pot pie. I got the Low Country Benny and was disappointed. The biscuits were so dense they were difficult to cut, not a true southern biscuit at all. Same with the sausage, really hard. Besides the breakfast pot pie, my husband got the Sausage and Waffle Benny and the Brunchwich, both he said were okay, but not amazing. The cocktails were also very good, but not sure it’s worth our time going back.

Everything we got was good: watermelon bruschetta, lamb burger, lobster roll, and Cuban sandwich, that was today’s special. The service was decent, however the food was served in a weird order mains arrived together with the appetizers.
