The Getaway - St Petersburg

Have dinner elsewhere, come for a drink and the view. please note: card only establishment, no cash This chef clearly stopped caring a long time ago. Ordered chips and queso, and it was jarred queso and the bottom of a bag of tortillas chips. You know how it goes, all the crumbs and broken chips. See pictures.Next, ordered volcano shrimp. It was boxed frozen from a grocery store that you 'd find in the appetizer section.Next, the chicken sandwich that was just a neglected piece of chicken that was thinner than the pineapple.We did get the ahi tuna nachos which seemed nice. So stay away from anything cooked.There were also multiple items not available on the menu and pricing only available online, not on menu.Service was very pleasant, but will never return for food. $14.50 for frozen boxed shrimp is just unacceptable.

Need more words in my dictionary to describe our time at The Getaway! Food was good-fish dip, tacos, drinks okay... but the atmosphere and Lauren our waitress made the experience!! It has five areas in which 'you pick ' to sit and enjoy your time there. The view is gorgeous, right on the water, boat coming and going, a little beach for 'the kids '. Simple a great 'island time ' experience.

Found The Getaway 10 years ago and it’s been getting better every time we go!This trip our amazing server was Lish. Great personality and presence. She was amazing!The menu has been updated from our last visit and lots of great choices. We were there to take in the views and enjoy sitting outside having drink s so we stuck with chips with salsa guac and cheese dip the jalapeño poppers. All delicious!We both started with a tropical drink and then switched to beer! All great and cold!Had a dolphin sighting!The grounds had changed since our last visit and we loved it all!The Getaway is a diamond in the rough. Make sure you plan to go check it out your next trip!

Love the vibe of this place. Beautiful water front dining.if you go you have to get jalapeño poppers. They are stuffed with a brisket and wrapped in bacon. I will be dreaming of this later tonight.

Has potential for improvement, but overall a decent dining experience.
