We regret to announce that The Melting Pot of St. Petersburg has closed for business indefinitely as of Monday, April 13. The owners of the property on 4th Street have elected to sell the property. The location was forced to close its dining room on March 20 due to a state ban on dine-in service, and the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the real estate owner’s decision to sell the property. We appreciate the opportunity to have served the St. Petersburg community for over 32 years at this location.

    What a wonderful night. We celebrated my husband’s birthday. The food was excellent but the staff was simply the best. Our waiter went above and beyond to accommodate our guests. Then Gary, one of the managers I assume, fell in love with my mother in law as she reminded him of his grandma. He absolutely treated her like a queen and at the end opened a champagne bottle to finish the celebration for us. Will be coming back soon!

    Another board member and I treated a senior level employee, who was departing to join another local organization, to a terrific lunch at Parkshore Grille. The table was off in a side corral that made it easy to talk, yet still have a nice window view. Our server was perfect, always serving ice tea refills when glasses were low. All three meals were excellent; a blackened grouper with a side wedge salad, a grouper sandwich with delicious Frits, and a unique crab and grouper cake. Closed the meal with a small, smith and creamy, chocolate mousse that we shared. Overall a great dining experience on a rare cold day in St. Pete.

    We went to celebrate a birthday and had a wonderful experience. We sat in the bar area at a regular table in a small alcove by the window. Our server was amazing, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed. It was quite dark where we were making it slightly difficult to read the menu. Would have liked a brighter candle.
