Restaurants near Bayboro Station Shopping Center

Our waitress Rachel was super attentive for our party of 8. Always had exceptional descriptions of each entree and cocktail choices. Everything we ordered was amazing. Brussels sprouts and corn bread are worth ordering for appetizers. Salmon was the best we’ve ever had. Desserts are all worth the calories!!

Perfect from Start to finish, Andrew was our server and his attention to detail without being overbearing is totally on spot. Perfect. The drinks came out in a timely fashion as well as our appetizers. Wish I could stay away from that pull apart bread but it’s amazing. We shared delicious appetizers, had dinner and dessert. Needless to say we came away extremely satisfied, what a wonderful experience and a pleasure to have Elliot Astor right in our backyard. 

Lots of unexpected pleasures here: first, finding such high-caliber food & cocktails and attentive service in a spot next to a hospital! Second, it feels like a library, with a spacious, book-filled space with intimate tables for two & room for parties of all sizes. Third - Wine Wednesday, with half-price on great bottles! We’ll be back for brunch!

We went for dinner on Wednesday May 28 and had the tasting menu and wine pairing-- 5 courses plus an amuse bouche on either end. First, the service was impeccable from the moment of walking in to Corey who was our server. Just the write combination of welcoming, attentive, and informative without distracting from the meal. And then the food.. an oyster amuse bouche with shaved foie gras and caviar -- delectable, paired with a perfect champagne. That champagne also went with the first course, perhaps the best steak tartare we've ever had. This was followed by a delicious goat chese and tomato salad, matched with a Gavi. Then the rabbit agnolotti and the wagyu, each paired with a perfect reds - a Burgundy and then a Borderauz. The agnolotti was a special dish. Tghe wagyu cooked perfectly over a bed of baby vegetables and fiddlehead ferns. Then a dessert course which is a housemade replica of a "chocolate candy bar" (that really doesn't do it justice) with a unique Solera 1927 Pedro Jimenez sherry. Not a usual fan of sherry but this was delightful and perfectly paired with the dessert. Overall a fantastic evening. The pacing was perfect, never feeling rushed. We have had more expensive tasting menus and wine pairings in NYC and this easily matched them if not exceeded in quality and overall experience.

Birthday dinner at Fortu was nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we walked in, every detail of the experience felt elevated. The ambiance is stunning, the drinks were incredible, and every dish we ordered was absolutely unforgettable. Our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire night feel extra special. FORTU continues to be one of my favorite restaurants in St. Pete for a reason. The service, presentation, flavors, and overall atmosphere are consistently top tier. Perfect for a date night, celebration, or just an amazing dinner experience. Already looking forward to my next visit. ✨🥂
